We have three different versions of the code that checks the EFI system table revision and copies the firmware vendor string, and they are mostly equivalent, with the exception of the use of early_memremap_ro vs. __va() and the lowest major revision to warn about. Let's move this into common code and factor out the commonalities. Tested-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> # arch/ia64 Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
