[PATCH v4 07/16] x86/cpu: Defer CR pinning setup until after EFI initialization

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

 



In order to map the EFI runtime services, set_virtual_address_map
needs to be called, which resides in the lower half of the address
space. This means that LASS needs to be temporarily disabled around
this call. This can only be done before the CR pinning is set up.

Move CR pinning setup behind the EFI initialization.
