[patch 2/5] physical mode SAL calls

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

 



Currently the EFI code will fall back to making real mode calls
if the call to map the EFI code fails. Unfortunately this only
takes into account EFI calls, but if EFI calls are made in physical
mode SAL calls also need to be made in physical mode. On a Tiger2 at least,
forcing EFI to stay in physical mode caues the boot to oops in a SAL call.

This patch changes things around by adding code to allow SAL calls to
be made in physical mode. I then makes this the path that is allways
followed - that is SAL calls are always physical with this patch.

A small patch will follow that will make physical SAL calls when
physical EFI calls are in operation, and virtual SAL calls when
virtual EFI calls are in poration. However, again a Tiger2, it seems
that having SAL always physical does actually work. So although this
patch seems like it should break stuff, it doesn't.
