Hans reports that his mixed mode systems running v5.6-rc1 kernels hit
the WARN_ON() in virt_to_phys_or_null_size(), caused by the fact that
efi_guid_t objects on the vmap'ed stack happen to be misaligned with
respect to their sizes. As a quick (i.e., backportable) fix, copy GUID
pointer arguments to the local stack into a buffer that is naturally
aligned to its size, so that it is guaranteed to cover only one
physical page.
Note that on x86, we cannot rely on the stack pointer being aligned
the way the compiler expects, so we need to allocate an 8-byte aligned
buffer of sufficient size, and copy the GUID into that buffer at an
offset that is aligned to 16 bytes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
