From: Dave Young Date: Fri, 26 May 2017 11:36:51 +0000 (+0100) Subject: efi/bgrt: Skip efi_bgrt_init() in case of non-EFI boot X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7425826f4f7ac60f2538b06a7f0a5d1006405159;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git efi/bgrt: Skip efi_bgrt_init() in case of non-EFI boot Sabrina Dubroca reported an early panic: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffff240001 IP: efi_bgrt_init+0xdc/0x134 [...] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task! ... which was introduced by: 7b0a911478c7 ("efi/x86: Move the EFI BGRT init code to early init code") The cause is that on this machine the firmware provides the EFI ACPI BGRT table even on legacy non-EFI bootups - which table should be EFI only. The garbage BGRT data causes the efi_bgrt_init() panic. Add a check to skip efi_bgrt_init() in case non-EFI bootup to work around this firmware bug.
