Subject: [PATCH] efi: fix boot panic because of invalid bgrt image address

From: Dave Young <dyoung@...hat.com>

Maniaxx <tripleshiftone@...il.com> reported a kernel boot failure of below:
(emulated the panic by using same invalid phys addr in code)
There are also a bug in bugzilla.kernel.org:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195633

The reported panic happens after below commit:
7b0a911478c7 efi/x86: Move the EFI BGRT init code to early init code

The root cause is the firmware on those machines provides invalid bgrt
image addresses.

In a kernel before above commit bgrt initializes late and use ioremap
to map the image address. Ioremap validate the address, if it is not a
valid physical address ioremap just fails and returns. However in current
kernel efi bgrt initializes early and uses early_memremap which does not
validate the image address, and kernel panic happens.

According to ACPI spec the BGRT image address should fall into
EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA, see the section 5.2.22.4 of below document:
http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6_1.pdf

Fix this issue by validating the image address in efi_bgrt_init(). If the
image address does not fall into any EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA areas we just
bail out.
