v4.8: arm64 fix kexec

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

kexec on arm64 is broken in v4.8.y because in /proc/iomem "nomap" regions, like UEFI runtime services code/data, are marked as "System RAM". On seattle this leads to the fact, that kexec from kexec-tools loads the kernel and the initrd in a memory region which should be ""reserved". This breaks kexec on the system.

commit
e7cd190385d1 ("arm64: mark reserved memblock regions explicitly in iomem")

Fixes this and should be added to v4.8 stable tree.

Thanks,
Matthias
