Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] ARM/efi minor fixes + stub pre-boot compat checks
Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2016 16:50:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454601030-9093-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
I merged two EFI/ARM related series, whose v1's I sent out last week:
Changes since v1:
- added various tags from various people
- new patch #3 to undefine __init
@Matt: are you happy with all of this going through the arm64 tree? I don't
think it clashes with anything else we've got queued up for v4.6 in tip/efi/core
Series 1: arm efi minor fixes
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/473027
This fixes two minor issues with the handling of .init data in the stub (#1, #2)
Patch #3 is a new patch that un-#defines __init in efistub.h, to catch its
inadvertent use in the UEFI stub
Patch #4 replaces some instances of early_memremap() with early_memremap_ro()
where the region in question is only accessed in r/o mode.
Series 2: UEFI stub pre-boot compat checks
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/473189
As discussed earlier today [1], and last year [2], it makes sense for the
UEFI stub to perform some basic checks on the hardware for missing features
that would prevent the kernel from booting to a state where it can even
complain about this.
So implements this for ARM, to check on LPAE builds whether the CPU supports
it (patch #5), and for arm64, to check whether the build time granule is
implemented by the CPU (patch #6). Patch #7 wires it up into the shared init
code.
