Instead of going through the EFI system table each time, just copy the runtime services table pointer into struct efi directly. This is the last use of the system table pointer in struct efi, allowing us to drop it in a future patch, along with a fair amount of quirky handling of the translated address. Note that usually, the runtime services pointer changes value during the call to SetVirtualAddressMap(), so grab the updated value as soon as that call returns. (Mixed mode uses a 1:1 mapping, and kexec boot enters with the updated address in the system table, so in those cases, we don't need to do anything here) 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.
