efi_allocate_pages() expects a (uint64_t *) pointer to pass the address of
the assigned memory. If we pass the address of a pointer here, an illegal
memory access occurs on 32bit systems.

Fixes: 282a06cbcae8 ("efi_loader: Expose U-Boot addresses in memory map
for sandbox")

I wonder why efi_allocate_pages() doesn't expect (void **) for the fourth
argument.
If this is because the type of the argument is a pointer to "physical address,"

we should use map_sysmem() here.

efi_allocate_pages implements the AllocatePages() boot time service. The
UEFI spec mandates that the parameter is of type EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS *
i.e. u64 *.

This would create a bug on the sandbox.

map_sysmem() converts an address from the sandbox virtual address space
to the address space that can be used by EFI binaries.

AllocatePool() and AllocatePages() both refer to the same address space.

Cf. commit 49759743bf09 ("efi_loader: eliminate sandbox addresses")

But allocate_pool() takes "void **" for the third argument. Why?

I don't know the case of sandbox, but What I have in mind is
LPAE, that is, the system have >32-bit physical address space,
but cpu can only access it via 32-bit pointer.

efi_allocate_pool() implements the AllocatePool() boot service which is
defined in the UEFI spec this way.

The UEFI spec requires "if paging is enabled and SetVirtualAddressMap()
has not been called, any memory space defined by the UEFI memory map is
identity mapped (virtual address equals physical address)".

It is only after calling SetVirtualAddressMap() that virtual addresses
and physical ones may differ. But at that time boottime services like
AllocatePool may not be called anymore.

I guess it is with LPAE in mind that AllocatePages() uses 64bit physical
addresses while AllocatePool() uses virtual addresses with system
dependent size.
