      x86/efi: Runtime services virtual mapping · d2f7cbe7
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      We map the EFI regions needed for runtime services non-contiguously,
      with preserved alignment on virtual addresses starting from -4G down
      for a total max space of 64G. This way, we provide for stable runtime
      services addresses across kernels so that a kexec'd kernel can still use
      them.
      
      Thus, they're mapped in a separate pagetable so that we don't pollute
      the kernel namespace.
      
      Add an efi= kernel command line parameter for passing miscellaneous
      options and chicken bits from the command line.
      
      While at it, add a chicken bit called "efi=old_map" which can be used as
      a fallback to the old runtime services mapping method in case there's
      some b0rkage with a particular EFI implementation (haha, it is hard to
      hold up the sarcasm here...).
      
      Also, add the UEFI RT VA space to Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt.
