[PATCH] earlyprintk=efi,keep fix

From: Dave Young
Date: Tue Apr 29 2014 - 22:11:51 EST



earlyprintk=efi,keep will cause kernel hangs while freeing initmem like below:
[ 2.826089] VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 254:2.
[ 2.846592] devtmpfs: mounted
[ 2.856974] Freeing unused kernel memory: 880K (ffffffff817d4000 - ffffffff818b0000)

It is caused by efi earlyprintk use __init function which will be freed later.
Such as early_efi_write is marked as __init, also it will use early_ioremap
which is init function as well.

To fix this issue, I added one early initcall efi_ioremap_fb which will map the whole
efi fb for later use. OTOH, adding a wrapper function efi_ioremap which will call
early_ioremap before ioremap is available.

With this patch applied efi boot ok with earlyprintk=efi,keep console=efi
