[PATCH v3 1/2] arm64: efi: Avoid workqueue to check whether EFI runtime is live

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

 



Comparing current_work() against efi_rts_work.work is sufficient to
decide whether current is currently running EFI runtime services code at
any level in its call stack.

However, there are other potential users of the EFI runtime stack, such
as the ACPI subsystem, which may invoke efi_call_virt_pointer()
directly, and so any sync exceptions occurring in firmware during those
calls are currently misidentified.

So instead, let's check whether 'current' has preemption disabled, and
whether the stashed value of the thread stack pointer points into
current's thread stack. This can only be the case if current was
interrupted while running EFI runtime code. This implies that we should
clear the stashed value after switching back, to avoid false positives.
