Subject: [PATCH v4 6/7] arm64/efi: Move uaccess en/disable out of efi_set_pgd()
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 17:26:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250924152651.3328941-15-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250924152651.3328941-9-ardb+git@google.com>

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

efi_set_pgd() will no longer be called when invoking EFI runtime
services via the efi_rts_wq work queue, but the uaccess en/disable are
still needed when using PAN emulation using TTBR0 switching. So move
these into the callers.

Acked-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
