Subject: [PATCH 5/5] x86/efi: Drop kexec quirk for the EFI memory attributes table
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 14:27:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326132655.1733873-12-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326132655.1733873-7-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Now that the EFI memory attributes table is preserved properly, and the
quirk to detect corrupted tables has been updated not to result in false
positives when the number of EFI memory map entries is low compared to
the number of EFI memory attributes table entries, there is no longer a
need to ignore the latter when doing a kexec boot. So drop the
workaround.
This reverts commit
64b45dd46e15 ("x86/efi: skip memattr table on kexec boot")
