Subject: [PATCH 1/3] x86/kexec: Add EFI config table identity mapping for kexec kernel

From: Tao Liu <ltao@...hat.com>

A kexec kernel boot failure is sometimes observed on AMD CPUs due to
unmapped EFI config table.  This is seen when "nogbpages" is on the
kernel command line, and has been observed as a full BIOS reboot
rather than a successful kexec.

Currently EFI system table is identity-mapped for the kexec kernel, but EFI
config table is not mapped explicitly:

    commit 6bbeb276b71f ("x86/kexec: Add the EFI system tables and ACPI
                          tables to the ident map")

The following 2 commits caused the EFI config table to be accessed
when enabling SEV at kernel startup.

    commit ec1c66af3a30 ("x86/compressed/64: Detect/setup SEV/SME features
                          earlier during boot")
    commit c01fce9cef84 ("x86/compressed: Add SEV-SNP feature
                          detection/setup")

This may result in a page fault due to EFI config table's unmapped
address. Since the page fault occurs before the new kernel establishes
its own identity map and page fault routines, it is unrecoverable and
kexec fails.

The issue doesn't appear on all systems, because the pages used by
kexec to create the identity map are usually large 1GB pages that, by
luck, end up including the needed address space when other nearby
areas are explicitly mapped.

However if nogbpages is set, the reduced page size (2 MB) used to
create the identity map means it's less likely that the EFI config
table's address space ends up mapped by mapping requests for nearby
areas.

Therefore, explicitly include the EFI config table in the kexec
identity map.
