arm64: dts: qcom: monaco: Reserve full Gunyah metadata region

Type: advisorySources: OSV

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64: dts: qcom: monaco: Reserve full Gunyah metadata region We observe spurious "Synchronous External Abort" exceptions (ESR=0x96000010) and kernel crashes on Monaco-based platforms. These faults are caused by the kernel inadvertently accessing hypervisor-owned memory that is not properly marked as reserved. >From boot log, The Qualcomm hypervisor reports the memory range at 0x91a80000 of size 0x80000 (512 KiB) as hypervisor-owned: qhee_hyp_assign_remove_memory: 0x91a80000/0x80000 -> ret 0 However, the EFI memory map provided by firmware only reserves the subrange 0x91a40000–0x91a87fff (288 KiB). The remaining portion (0x91a88000–0x91afffff) is incorrectly reported as conventional memory (from efi debug): efi: 0x000091a40000-0x000091a87fff [Reserved...] efi: 0x000091a88000-0x0000938fffff [Conventional...] As a result, the allocator may hand out PFNs inside the hypervisor owned region, causing fatal aborts when the kernel accesses those addresses. Add a reserved-memory carveout for the Gunyah hypervisor metadata at 0x91a80000 (512 KiB) and mark it as no-map so Linux does not map or allocate from this area.
