Re: [PATCH v2][EFI] Run EFI in physical mode

From: Kenji Kaneshige
Date: Mon Dec 13 2010 - 22:44:35 EST


Hi,

I tested this patch on the system that has large amount of memory (1TB),
and I encountered the immediate system reset problem that happens every
time I modify the EFI boot entry using efibootmgr command. It seems that
triple fault happens due to the incorrect page table setup.

+void __init efi_pagetable_init(void)
+{
(snip.)
+ pgd = efi_pgd + pgd_index(PAGE_OFFSET);
+ set_pgd(pgd, *pgd_offset_k(PAGE_OFFSET));
+ pgd = efi_pgd + pgd_index(__START_KERNEL_map);
+ set_pgd(pgd, *pgd_offset_k(__START_KERNEL_map));
+}

Maybe we need to map whole kernel address space. The problem doesn't
happen by modifying as follows.

clone_pgd_range(efi_pgd + KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY,
swapper_pg_dir + KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY, KERNEL_PGD_PTRS);

Regards,
Kenji Kaneshige

Hi all,

Thanks for many comments. I just changed some variables according to
Huang's comment.

efi_flags and save_cr3 should be per-CPU, because they now will be
used after SMP is enabled.

Ok, what I should do next is:

- x86 support
As I wrote, I don't have x86 machine where EFI works. Any
volunteer?
- ia64 support
I'm not sure we should do this, but I'll try if we need.
- Using common page tables instead of EFI own page table
Now I'm checking the thread below...
