When running lscpu on an AArch64 system that has SMBIOS version 2.0 tables, it will segfault in the following way:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff8000bfff0000 pgd = ffff8000f9615000 [ffff8000bfff0000] *pgd=0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 96000007 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1284 Comm: lscpu Not tainted 4.11.0-rc3+ #103 Hardware name: QEMU QEMU Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 task: ffff8000fa78e800 task.stack: ffff8000f9780000 PC is at __arch_copy_to_user+0x90/0x220 LR is at read_mem+0xcc/0x140
This is caused by the fact that lspci issues a read() on /dev/mem at the offset where it expects to find the SMBIOS structure array. However, this region is classified as EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICE_DATA (as per the UEFI spec), and so it is omitted from the linear mapping.
So let's restrict /dev/mem read/write access to those areas that are covered by the linear region.
