On ARM and arm64, we use a dedicated mm_struct to map the UEFI Runtime Services regions, which allows us to map those regions on demand, and in a way that is guaranteed to be compatible with incoming kernels across kexec. As it turns out, we don't fully initialize the mm_struct in the same way as process mm_structs are initialized on fork(), which results in the following crash on ARM if CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y is enabled: ... EFI Variables Facility v0.08 2004-May-17 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 [...] Process swapper/0 (pid: 1) ... __memzero() check_and_switch_context() virt_efi_get_next_variable() efivar_init() efivars_sysfs_init() do_one_initcall() ... This is due to a missing call to mm_init_cpumask(), so add it.

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.
