[PATCH] efi/x86: Drop the special GDT for the EFI thunk

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

 



Instead of using efi_gdt64 to switch back to 64-bit mode and then
switching to the real boot-time GDT, just switch to the boot-time GDT
directly. The two GDT's are identical other than efi_gdt64 not including
the 32-bit code segment.
