    Linus Torvalds 提交于
    Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The main changes are:
    
       - Use separate EFI page tables when executing EFI firmware code.
         This isolates the EFI context from the rest of the kernel, which
         has security and general robustness advantages.  (Matt Fleming)
    
       - Run regular UEFI firmware with interrupts enabled.  This is already
         the status quo under other OSs.  (Ard Biesheuvel)
    
       - Various x86 EFI enhancements, such as the use of non-executable
         attributes for EFI memory mappings.  (Sai Praneeth Prakhya)
    
       - Various arm64 UEFI enhancements.  (Ard Biesheuvel)
    
       - ... various fixes and cleanups.
    
      The separate EFI page tables feature got delayed twice already,
      because it's an intrusive change and we didn't feel confident about
      it - third time's the charm we hope!"
