Nathan reports that recent kernels built with LTO will crash when doing EFI boot using Fedora's GRUB and SHIM. The culprit turns out to be a misaligned load from the TPM event log, which is annotated with READ_ONCE(), and under LTO, this gets translated into a LDAR instruction which does not tolerate misaligned accesses. Interestingly, this does not happen when booting the same kernel straight from the UEFI shell, and so the fact that the event log may appear misaligned in memory may be caused by a bug in GRUB or SHIM. However, using READ_ONCE() to access firmware tables is slightly unusual in any case, and here, we only need to ensure that 'event' is not dereferenced again after it gets unmapped, but this is already taken care of by the implicit barrier() semantics of the early_memunmap() call.
