commit 9b9eaee9828fe98b030cf43ac50065a54a2f5d52 upstream. Currently, when mapping the EFI runtime regions in the EFI page tables, we complain about misaligned regions in a rather noisy way, using WARN(). Not only does this produce a lot of irrelevant clutter in the log, it is factually incorrect, as misaligned runtime regions are actually allowed by the EFI spec as long as they don't require conflicting memory types within the same 64k page. So let's drop the warning, and tweak the code so that we - take both the start and end of the region into account when checking for misalignment - only revert to RWX mappings for non-code regions if misaligned code regions are also known to exist.

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.
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.
