The EFI memory attributes code cross-references the EFI memory map with the more granular EFI memory attributes table to ensure that they are in sync before applying the strict permissions to the regions it describes. Since we always install virtual mappings for the EFI runtime regions to which these strict permissions apply, we currently perform a sanity check on the EFI memory descriptor, and ensure that the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME bit is set, and that the virtual address has been assigned. However, in cases where a runtime region exists at physical address 0x0, and the virtual mapping equals the physical mapping, e.g., when running in mixed mode on x86, we encounter a memory descriptor with the runtime attribute and virtual address 0x0, and incorrectly draw the conclusion that a runtime region exists for which no virtual mapping was installed, and give up altogether. The consequence of this is that firmware mappings retain their read-write-execute permissions, making the system more vulnerable to attacks. So let's only bail if the virtual address of 0x0 has been assigned to a physical region that does not reside at address 0x0. Fixes: 10f0d2f577053 ("efi: Implement generic support for the Memory ...")
