[ Upstream commit 0ac234be1a9497498e57d958f4251f5257b116b4 ] 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 ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
