commit e5f9987d5f63ecc3cc9884c614aca699a41e7ca7 Author: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Tue Sep 5 08:46:28 2023 +0200 Commit: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Tue Sep 5 08:46:28 2023 +0200 x86/head: check base address alignment Ensure that the base address is 2M aligned, or else the page table entries created would be corrupt as reserved bits on the PDE end up set. We have encountered a broken firmware where grub2 would end up loading Xen at a non 2M aligned region when using the multiboot2 protocol, and that caused a very difficult to debug triple fault. If the alignment is not as required by the page tables print an error message and stop the boot. Also add a build time check that the calculation of symbol offsets don't break alignment of passed addresses. The check could be performed earlier, but so far the alignment is required by the page tables, and hence feels more natural that the check lives near to the piece of code that requires it. Note that when booted as an EFI application from the PE entry point the alignment check is already performed by efi_arch_load_addr_check(), and hence there's no need to add another check at the point where page tables get built in efi_arch_memory_setup().
