[PATCH v8 16/23] x86/efistub: Perform 4/5 level paging switch from the stub

Ard Biesheuvel
2023-08-02T15:51:11Z

In preparation for updating the EFI stub boot flow to avoid the bare
metal decompressor code altogether, implement the support code for
switching between 4 and 5 levels of paging before jumping to the kernel
proper.

This reuses the newly refactored trampoline that the bare metal
decompressor uses, but relies on EFI APIs to allocate 32-bit addressable
memory and remap it with the appropriate permissions. Given that the
bare metal decompressor will no longer call into the trampoline if the
number of paging levels is already set correctly, it is no longer needed
to remove NX restrictions from the memory range where this trampoline
may end up.
