Subject: x86/PCI: Map PCI setup data with ioremap() so it can be in highmem
From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 65694c5aaddfedd9da082e4e150cafc6b3fc8a6a upstream.
f9a37be0f0 ("x86: Use PCI setup data") added support for using PCI ROM
images from setup_data. This used phys_to_virt(), which is not valid for
highmem addresses, and can cause a crash when booting a 32-bit kernel via
the EFI boot stub.
pcibios_add_device() assumes that the physical addresses stored in
setup_data are accessible via the direct kernel mapping, and that calling
phys_to_virt() is valid. This isn't guaranteed to be true on x86 where the
direct mapping range is much smaller than on x86-64.
Calling phys_to_virt() on a highmem address results in the following:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 39a3c198
IP: [<c262be0f>] pcibios_add_device+0x2f/0x90
...
Call Trace:
[<c2370c73>] pci_device_add+0xe3/0x130
[<c274640b>] pci_scan_single_device+0x8b/0xb0
[<c2370d08>] pci_scan_slot+0x48/0x100

[<c23b7203>] acpi_pci_root_add+0x312/0x42f
...
The solution is to use ioremap() instead of phys_to_virt() to map the
setup data into the kernel address space.
