[PATCH 0/4] arm: [U]EFI runtime services support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In systems based on [U]EFI-conformant firmware, runtime services provide
a standardised way for the kernel to update firmware environment variables.
This is used for example by efibootmgr to update which image should be
loaded on next boot.

This patchset implements basic support for UEFI runtime services on ARM
platforms, as well as the basic underlying EFI support. It also defines a
mechanism by which the required information is passed from the bootloader
to the kernel via FDT entries.

This patchset depends on the previously submitted early_ioremap() patchset.
