Subject: efi: Disable interrupts around EFI calls, not in the epilog/prolog calls
X-Git-Tag: v4.1-rc1~187^2^2~2
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=23a0d4e8fa6d3a1d7fb819f79bcc0a3739c30ba9;p=karo-tx-linux.git

efi: Disable interrupts around EFI calls, not in the epilog/prolog calls

Tapasweni Pathak reported that we do a kmalloc() in efi_call_phys_prolog()
on x86-64 while having interrupts disabled, which is a big no-no, as
kmalloc() can sleep.

Solve this by removing the irq disabling from the prolog/epilog calls
around EFI calls: it's unnecessary, as in this stage we are single
threaded in the boot thread, and we don't ever execute this from
interrupt contexts.
