The patch titled Subject: pcdp: use early_ioremap/early_iounmap to access pcdp table has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was pcdp-use-early_ioremap-early_iounmap-to-access-pcdp-table.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Greg Pearson <greg.pearson@xxxxxx> Subject: pcdp: use early_ioremap/early_iounmap to access pcdp table efi_setup_pcdp_console() is called during boot to parse the HCDP/PCDP EFI system table and setup an early console for printk output. The routine uses ioremap/iounmap to setup access to the HCDP/PCDP table information. The call to ioremap is happening early in the boot process which leads to a panic on x86_64 systems: 0xffffffff815ffbd4 panic+0x01ca 0xffffffff810535ec do_exit+0x043c 0xffffffff81603847 oops_end+0x00a7 0xffffffff81042859 no_context+0x0119 0xffffffff81042a68 __bad_area_nosemaphore+0x0138 0xffffffff81042b5e bad_area_nosemaphore+0x000e 0xffffffff81606411 do_page_fault+0x0321 0xffffffff81602cb0 page_fault+0x0020 0xffffffff81045fc1 reserve_memtype+0x02a1 0xffffffff810430a3 __ioremap_caller+0x0123 0xffffffff81043402 ioremap_nocache+0x0012 0xffffffff81d53e70 efi_setup_pcdp_console+0x002b 0xffffffff81d1fcc5 setup_arch+0x03a9 0xffffffff81d19b44 start_kernel+0x00d4 0xffffffff81d19341 x86_64_start_reservations+0x012c 0xffffffff81d19449 x86_64_start_kernel+0x00fe This patch replaces the calls to ioremap/iounmap in efi_setup_pcdp_console() with calls to early_ioremap/early_iounmap which can be called during early boot. This patch was tested on an x86_64 prototype system which uses the HCDP/PCDP table for early console setup.
