The following problem has been reported by George Kennedy:

 Since commit 7fef431be9c9 ("mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail
 in __free_pages_core()") the following use after free occurs
 intermittently when ACPI tables are accessed.

 BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ibft_init+0x134/0xc49
 Read of size 4 at addr ffff8880be453004 by task swapper/0/1

 ACPI tables mapped via kmap() do not have their mapped pages
 reserved and the pages can be "stolen" by the buddy allocator.

Apparently, on the affected system, the ACPI table in question is
not located in "reserved" memory, like ACPI NVS or ACPI Data, that
will not be used by the buddy allocator, so the memory occupied by
that table has to be explicitly reserved to prevent the buddy
allocator from using it.

In order to address this problem, rearrange the initialization of the
ACPI tables on x86 to locate the initial tables earlier and reserve
the memory occupied by them.

The other architectures using ACPI should not be affected by this
change.

The replacement of &lt;asm/pgrable.h&gt; with &lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt; made the include
of the latter in the middle of asm includes.  Fix this up with the aid of
the below script and manual adjustments here and there.

	import sys
	import re

	if len(sys.argv) is not 3:
	    print "USAGE: %s &lt;file&gt; &lt;header&gt;" % (sys.argv[0])
	    sys.exit(1)

	hdr_to_move="#include &lt;linux/%s&gt;" % sys.argv[2]
	moved = False
	in_hdrs = False

	with open(sys.argv[1], "r") as f:
	    lines = f.readlines()
	    for _line in lines:
		line = _line.rstrip('
')
		if line == hdr_to_move:
		    continue
		if line.startswith("#include &lt;linux/"):
		    in_hdrs = True
		elif not moved and in_hdrs:
		    moved = True
		    print hdr_to_move
		print line

The include/linux/pgtable.h is going to be the home of generic page table
manipulation functions.

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.

<title>acpi/x86: ignore unspecified bit positions in the ACPI global lock field</title>

The value in "new" is constructed from "old" such that all bits defined
as reserved by the ACPI spec[1] are left untouched. But if those bits
do not happen to be all zero, "new &lt; 3" will not evaluate to true.

The firmware of the laptop(s) Medion MD63490 / Akoya P15648 comes with
garbage inside the "FACS" ACPI table. The starting value is
old=0x4944454d, therefore new=0x4944454e, which is &gt;= 3. Mask off
the reserved bits.

<content type='text'>
BGRT is for displaying seamless OEM logo from booting to login screen;
however, this mechanism does not always work well on all configurations
and the OEM logo can be displayed multiple times. This looks worse than
without BGRT enabled.

This patch adds a kernel parameter to disable BGRT in boot time. This is
easier than re-compiling a kernel with CONFIG_ACPI_BGRT disabled.

<title>acpi: Ignore acpi_rsdp kernel param when the kernel has been locked down</title>

<id>urn:sha1:41fa1ee9c6d687afb05760dd349f361855f1d7f5</id>
<content type='text'>
This option allows userspace to pass the RSDP address to the kernel, which
makes it possible for a user to modify the workings of hardware. Reject
the option when the kernel is locked down. This requires some reworking
of the existing RSDP command line logic, since the early boot code also
makes use of a command-line passed RSDP when locating the SRAT table
before the lockdown code has been initialised. This is achieved by
separating the command line RSDP path in the early boot code from the
generic RSDP path, and then copying the command line RSDP into boot
params in the kernel proper if lockdown is not enabled. If lockdown is
enabled and an RSDP is provided on the command line, this will only be
used when parsing SRAT (which shouldn't permit kernel code execution)
and will be ignored in the rest of the kernel.

(Modified by Matthew Garrett in order to handle the early boot RSDP
environment)

<title>acpi: Create subtable parsing infrastructure</title>

<content type='text'>
Parsing entries in an ACPI table had assumed a generic header
structure. There is no standard ACPI header, though, so less common
layouts with different field sizes required custom parsers to go through
their subtable entry list.

Create the infrastructure for adding different table types so parsing
the entries array may be more reused for all ACPI system tables and
the common code doesn't need to be duplicated.

Add check for the return value of memblock_alloc*() functions and call
panic() in case of error.  The panic message repeats the one used by
panicing memblock allocators with adjustment of parameters to include
only relevant ones.

The replacement was mostly automated with semantic patches like the one
below with manual massaging of format strings.

  @@
  expression ptr, size, align;
  @@
  ptr = memblock_alloc(size, align);
  + if (!ptr)
  + 	panic("%s: Failed to allocate %lu bytes align=0x%lx\n", __func__, size, align);
