X-Git-Tag: v4.7-rc1~194
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=49817c33433a3cd6f320b13699e6746cc39b453b;p=karo-tx-linux.git

Merge branch 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Drop the unused EFI_SYSTEM_TABLES efi.flags bit and ensure the
     ARM/arm64 EFI System Table mapping is read-only (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Add a comment to explain that one of the code paths in the x86/pat
     code is only executed for EFI boot (Matt Fleming)

   - Improve Secure Boot status checks on arm64 and handle unexpected
     errors (Linn Crosetto)

   - Remove the global EFI memory map variable 'memmap' as the same
     information is already available in efi::memmap (Matt Fleming)

   - Add EFI Memory Attribute table support for ARM/arm64 (Ard
     Biesheuvel)

   - Add EFI GOP framebuffer support for ARM/arm64 (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Add EFI Bootloader Control driver for storing reboot(2) data in EFI
     variables for consumption by bootloaders (Jeremy Compostella)

   - Add Core EFI capsule support (Matt Fleming)

   - Add EFI capsule char driver (Kweh, Hock Leong)

   - Unify EFI memory map code for ARM and arm64 (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Add generic EFI support for detecting when firmware corrupts CPU
     status register bits (like IRQ flags) when performing EFI runtime
     service calls (Mark Rutland)

  ... and other misc cleanups"
