[PATCH v2] x86/efi: page align EFI ROM image ranges

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The kernel's EFI stub locates and copies EFI ROM images into memory, which it allocates using the byte-granular EFI allocate_pool function.  These memory ranges are then added to setup_data, and later to e820 (in e820__reserve_setup_data()).  The e820 ranges are parsed to create nosave regions (in e820__register_nosave_regions()), but when non-page-aligned e820 regions are parsed, a nosave page is added at the beginning and end of each non-page-aligned region, which results in data not getting saved or restored during a hibernate/resume.  This can result in random failures after a hibernate/resume.
 
Round up the allocation size to a whole number of pages, and use EFI allocate_pages to ensure that the EFI ROM copy regions are page-aligned.

On a system with six EFI ROM images, before the patch:
