The signature should be a lot simpler: unsigned long efi_get_system_table(struct boot_params *bp) returns 0 on failure, non-null on success and then it returns the physical address of the system table. > +{ > + unsigned long sys_tbl; > + struct efi_info *ei; > + bool efi_64; > + char *sig; > + > + if (!sys_tbl_pa || !is_efi_64) > + return -EINVAL; > + This... > + ei = &boot_params->efi_info; > + sig = (char *)&ei->efi_loader_signature; > + > + if (!strncmp(sig, EFI64_LOADER_SIGNATURE, 4)) { > + efi_64 = true; > + } else if (!strncmp(sig, EFI32_LOADER_SIGNATURE, 4)) { > + efi_64 = false; > + } else { > + debug_putstr("Wrong EFI loader signature.\n"); > + return -EOPNOTSUPP; > + } ... up to here needs to be another function: enum get_efi_type(sig) where enum is { EFI64, EFI32, INVALID } or so. And you call this function at the call sites: if (efi_get_type(sig) == INVALID) error... sys_tbl_pa = efi_get_system_table(bp); if (!sys_tbl_pa) error... Completely pseudo but you get the idea.
