I haven't reviewed it in detail yet (I just got back from vacation), but this looks like the right approach. In fact, I had started going down the efi stub approach for AArch64 a while back as well, but the effort got preempted by other work [again]. I'll try to allocate time to play with this for x86 and to build on it for AArch64 in the coming weeks. drew > > Varad Gautam (6): > x86: Build tests as PE objects for the EFI loader > x86: Call efi_main from _efi_pe_entry > x86: efi_main: Get EFI memory map and exit boot services > x86: efi_main: Self-relocate ELF .dynamic addresses > cstart64.S: x86_64 bootstrapping after exiting EFI > x86: Disable some breaking tests for EFI and modify vmexit test > > .gitignore | 2 + > Makefile | 16 ++- > configure | 11 ++ > lib/linux/uefi.h | 337 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > x86/Makefile.common | 45 ++++-- > x86/Makefile.x86_64 | 43 +++--- > x86/cstart64.S | 78 ++++++++++ > x86/efi.lds | 67 +++++++++ > x86/efi_main.c | 167 ++++++++++++++++++++++ > x86/vmexit.c | 7 + > 10 files changed, 741 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) > create mode 100644 lib/linux/uefi.h > create mode 100644 x86/efi.lds > create mode 100644 x86/efi_main.c > > -- > 2.30.2 > _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
