Subject: [PATCH 13/13] x86/efi: Re-disable interrupts after calling firmware services
Date: Tue,  4 Mar 2014 13:14:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1393938861-16797-14-git-send-email-matt@console-pimps.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1393938861-16797-1-git-send-email-matt@console-pimps.org>

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

Some firmware appears to enable interrupts during boot service calls,
even if we've explicitly disabled them prior to the call. This is
actually allowed per the UEFI spec because boottime services expect to
be called with interrupts enabled.

So that's fine, we just need to ensure that we disable them again in
efi_enter32() before switching to a 64-bit GDT, otherwise an interrupt
may fire causing a 32-bit IRQ handler to run after we've left
compatibility mode.

Despite efi_enter32() being called both for boottime and runtime
services, this really only affects boottime because the runtime services
callchain is executed with interrupts disabled. See efi_thunk().
