James Morse 81ae6e6bfa ACPI / APEI: Switch estatus pool to use vmalloc memory
[ Upstream commit 0ac234be1a ]

The ghes code is careful to parse and round firmware's advertised
memory requirements for CPER records, up to a maximum of 64K.
However when ghes_estatus_pool_expand() does its work, it splits
the requested size into PAGE_SIZE granules.

This means if firmware generates 5K of CPER records, and correctly
describes this in the table, __process_error() will silently fail as it
is unable to allocate more than PAGE_SIZE.

Switch the estatus pool to vmalloc() memory. On x86 vmalloc() memory
may fault and be fixed up by vmalloc_fault(). To prevent this call
vmalloc_sync_all() before an NMI handler could discover the memory.

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.
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.
