[Impact]
Kernel might fail booting on systems where the physical memory footprint exceeds the
size of the linear mapping. The following patches addresses this issue:
[v2,1/2] efi: arm-stub: Correct FDT and initrd allocation rules for arm64
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9565537/
[v2,2/2] efi: arm-stub: Round up FDT allocation to mapping size
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9565539
[Testing]
These patches were regression tested. Patches were applied to Zesty latest and boots on a KVM instance and on QDF2400 ARM64 Qualcomm server. At this time do not have systems with high memory to test with.
[Regression Potential]
Changes are confined to ARM architecture, patches apply cleanly to Ubuntu-4.10.0-13.15. Potential for any regression is low. |
