Subject: [PATCH 3/5] x86/efi: Defer the call to efi_memattr_init()
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 14:26:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326132655.1733873-10-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326132655.1733873-7-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
efi_memattr_init() should call efi_mem_reserve() rather than
memblock_reserve() to preserve the memory contents of the region when
the EFI memory attributes table is loaded by the firmware.
However, efi_mem_reserve() can only be called later during the boot on
x86, due to the fact that it may need to memblock_alloc() memory for the
EFI memory map.
So move the call to efi_memattr_init() to a later stage when building
for x86_64.
