I managed to get a boot log:

https://pastebin.com/GwurpCw9

This is using arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sm8550-mtp.dts for reference


Early on in boot log before the panic, I see this in the log:

[    0.000000] efi: UEFI not found.
[    0.000000] [Firmware Bug]: Kernel image misaligned at boot, please fix your bootloader!

Isn't that misalignment pretty serious?  Or, is is possible to run with that?
That has never caused any issues and sadly I can't do anything about it.


There are no hugetlb pages allocated at boot time:

[    0.000000] Kernel command line: PMOS_NO_OUTPUT_REDIRECT console=ttyMSM0 earlycon clk_ignore_unused pd_ignore_unused androidboot.bootdevice=1d84000.ufshc androidboot.fstab_suffix=default androidboot.boot_devices=soc/1d84000.ufshc androidboot.serialno=ab855d8d androidboot.baseband=msm

So, the routine where we are panic'ing (gather_bootmem_prealloc) should be a
noop.  The first thing it does is:
list_for_each_entry(m, &huge_boot_pages, list) {
...
}

However, huge_boot_pages should be empty as initialized here:
__initdata LIST_HEAD(huge_boot_pages);

At the end of the routine, we call prep_and_add_bootmem_folios to
process the local list created withing that above loop:

LIST_HEAD(folio_list);

This should also be empty and a noop.

Is it possible that the misaligned kernel image could make these lists
appear as non-empty?
I don't think I have an answer for this
