I have a workaround for this:
UBUNTU: SAUCE: riscv: Disable VMAP_STACK since it fails with efi
When VMAP_STACK is enabled, kernel threads have their stacks in the vmalloc
region.
So when The kworker responsible for handling efi work queue (efi_call_rts)
calls
efi_virtmap_load and then switch_mm, if the stack of the worker is in a
vmalloc
area not yet synchronized with efi_mm (since RISC-V lazily populates vmalloc
area), an attempt to access this stack will trigger a fault which can't be
resolved since when trying to save the context, a new trap will be
triggered and
so on.
So disable VMAP_STACK for now until we figure out the correct fix.
And I'm working on the proper fix which consists in synchronizing the
efi page table with the page table of the calling thread before
switching to efi mm.
