kexec reboot stops in early boot sequence because efi_config_parse_tables()
refers garbage data. We can see the log with memblock=debug kernel option:
efi: ACPI 2.0=0x9821790014 PROP=0x8757f5c0 SMBIOS 3.0=0x9820740000 MEMRESERVE=0x9820bfdc58

memblock_reserve: [0x0c719bb159b1fadc-0x5aa6e62a1417ce12] efi_config_parse_tables+0x244/0x278
...
That happens because 0x82760000, struct linux_efi_memreserve, is destroyed.
0x82760000 is pointed from efi.mem_reseve, and efi.mem_reserve points the
head page of LPI pending table and LPI property table which are allocated by
gic_reserve_range().
The destroyer is kexec. kexec locates the initrd to the area:
]# kexec -d -l /boot/vmlinuz-5.4.0-rc7 /boot/initramfs-5.4.0-rc7.img --reuse-cmdline
...
initrd: base 82290000, size 388dd8ah (59301258)
...
>From dynamic debug log. initrd is located in segment[1]:
machine_kexec_prepare:70:
kexec kimage info:
type: 0
start: 85b30680
head: 0
nr_segments: 4
segment[0]: 0000000080480000 - 0000000082290000, 0x1e10000 bytes, 481 pages
segment[1]: 0000000082290000 - 0000000085b20000, 0x3890000 bytes, 905 pages
segment[2]: 0000000085b20000 - 0000000085b30000, 0x10000 bytes, 1 pages
segment[3]: 0000000085b30000 - 0000000085b40000, 0x10000 bytes, 1 pages
kexec searches the memory region to locate initrd through
"System RAM" in /proc/iomem. The pending tables are included in
"System RAM" because they are allocated by alloc_pages(), so kexec
destroys the LPI pending tables.
Introduce /sys/firmware/efi/memreserve to tell the pages pointed by
efi.mem_reserve so that kexec can avoid the area to locate initrd.
