Fork of reMarkable kernel https://github.com/reMarkable/linux
6f6266a561
Reserving a runtime region results in splitting the EFI memory
descriptors for the runtime region. This results in runtime region
descriptors with bogus memory mappings, leading to interesting crashes
like the following during a kexec:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.11.0-rc1 #53
Hardware name: Wiwynn Leopard-Orv2/Leopard-DDR BW, BIOS LBM05 09/30/2016
RIP: 0010:virt_efi_set_variable()
...
Call Trace:
efi_delete_dummy_variable()
efi_enter_virtual_mode()
start_kernel()
? set_init_arg()
x86_64_start_reservations()
x86_64_start_kernel()
start_cpu()
...
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Runtime regions will not be freed and do not need to be reserved, so
skip the memmap modification in this case.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
