4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx> commit 1c27f646b18fb56308dff82784ca61951bad0b48 upstream. We needed the physical address of the container in order to compute the offset within the relocated ramdisk. And we did this by doing __pa() on the virtual address. However, __pa() does checks whether the physical address is within PAGE_OFFSET and __START_KERNEL_map - see __phys_addr() - which fail if we have CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY enabled: we feed a virtual address which *doesn't* have the randomization offset into a function which uses PAGE_OFFSET which *does* have that offset. This makes this check fire: VIRTUAL_BUG_ON((x > y) || !phys_addr_valid(x)); ^^^^^^ due to the randomization offset. The fix is as simple as using __pa_nodebug() because we do that randomization offset accounting later in that function ourselves.
