charset="utf-8" From: Ard Biesheuvel The native EFI stub entry point does not take a struct boot_params from the boot loader, but creates it from scratch, and populates only the fields that still have meaning in this context (command line, initrd base and size, etc) The original mixed mode implementation used the EFI handover protocol, where the boot loader (i.e., GRUB) populates a struct boot_params and passes it to a special EFI entry point that takes the struct boot_params pointer as the third argument. When the new mixed mode implementation was introduced, using a special 32-bit PE entrypoint in the 64-bit kernel, it adopted the usual prototype, and relied on the EFI stub to create the struct boot_params as usual. This is preferred because it makes the bootloader side much easier to implement, as it does not need any x86-specific knowledge on how struct boot_params and struct setup_header are put together. However, one thing was missed: EFI mixed mode goes through startup_32() *before* entering the 64-bit EFI stub, which is difficult to avoid given that 64-bit execution requires page tables, which can only be populated using 32-bit code, and this piece is what the mixed mode EFI stub relies on. startup_32() accesses a couple of struct boot_params fields to decide where to place the page tables. startup_32() turns out to be quite tolerant to bogus struct boot_params, given that ESI used to contain junk when entering via the new mixed mode protocol. Only when commit e2ab9eab324c ("x86/boot/compressed: Move 32-bit entrypoint code into .tex= t section") started to zero ESI explicitly when entering via this boot path, boot failures started to appear on some systems, presumably ones that unmap page 0x0 or map it read-only. The solution is to pass a special, temporary struct boot_params to startup_32() via ESI, one that is sufficient for getting it to create the page tables correctly and is discarded right after. This means setting a minimal alignment of 4k, only to get the statically allocated page tables line up correctly, and setting init_size to the executable image size (_end - startup_32). This ensures that the page tables are covered by the static footprint of the PE image. Given that EFI boot no longer calls the decompressor and no longer pads the image to permit the decompressor to execute in place, the same temporary struct boot_params should be used in the EFI handover protocol based mixed mode implementation as well, to prevent the page tables from being placed outside of allocated memory.
