x86/efi: earlyprintk=efi,keep fix
earlyprintk=efi,keep will cause kernel hangs while freeing initmem like below: VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 254:2. devtmpfs: mounted 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 early initcall early_efi_map_fb which maps the whole efi fb for later use. OTOH, adding a wrapper function early_efi_map which calls early_ioremap before ioremap is available. With this patch applied efi boot ok with earlyprintk=efi,keep console=efi Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
