Subject: [PATCH] efi: Override runtime supported mask from a EFI variable if present
Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2022 18:27:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221109172750.2823891-1-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
For debugging purposes, allow the runtime override mask to be set from a
EFI variable if one exists. For instance, the RT supported mask can be
set to 0xfffd to disable the SetTime() runtime service, and enable all
others:
echo -ne "\x7\0\0\0\xfd\xff" \
> /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LinuxRtMaskOverride-eb66918a-7eef-402a-842e-931d21c38ae9
