    x86/efi: Don't allocate memmap through memblock after mm_init() · 20b1e22d

     ("x86/efi-bgrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() to avoid copying image data")
    
    ...  efi_bgrt_init() calls into the memblock allocator through
    efi_mem_reserve() => efi_arch_mem_reserve() *after* mm_init() has been called.
    
    Indeed, KASAN reports a bad read access later on in efi_free_boot_services():

    The instruction at the given address is the first read from the memmap's
    memory, i.e. the read of md->type in efi_free_boot_services().
    
    Note that the writes earlier in efi_arch_mem_reserve() don't splat because
    they're done through early_memremap()ed addresses.
    
    So, after memblock is gone, allocations should be done through the "normal"
    page allocator. Introduce a helper, efi_memmap_alloc() for this. Use
    it from efi_arch_mem_reserve(), efi_free_boot_services() and, for the sake
    of consistency, from efi_fake_memmap() as well.
    
    Note that for the latter, the memmap allocations cease to be page aligned.
    This isn't needed though.
