[PATCH] arm64: kexec: mark machine_kexec() __nocfi

[sashiko-bot at kernel.org]

> When the loaded image needs relocation, machine_kexec() makes an
> indirect call into the copy of arm64_relocate_new_kernel in the control
> page:
> 
> 	kernel_reloc = (void *)kimage->arch.kern_reloc;
> 	kernel_reloc(kimage);
> 
> With CONFIG_CFI=y the kCFI check on this call loads a type hash from
> kern_reloc - 4. arm64_relocate_new_kernel is SYM_CODE_START and carries
> no hash. Its copy also sits at the start of the control page, which is
> all that TTBR0 maps at this point, so the load faults and the kernel
> oopses after "Bye!" instead of entering the new kernel:
> 
>  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000544bfffc
>  Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000007 [#1]  SMP
> [ ... ]
> ("x86/kexec: Mark machine_kexec() with __nocfi") did on x86.

> Fixes: efc2d0f20a9d ("arm64: kexec: keep MMU enabled during kexec relocation")
