4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxx> commit de53c3786a3ce162a1c815d0c04c766c23ec9c0a upstream. EFI_OLD_MEMMAP's efi_call_phys_prolog() calls set_pgd() with swapper PGD that has PAGE_USER set, which makes PTI set NX on it, and therefore EFI can't execute it's code. Fix that by forcefully clearing _PAGE_NX from the PGD (this can't be done by the pgprot API). _PAGE_NX will be automatically reintroduced in efi_call_phys_epilog(), as _set_pgd() will again notice that this is _PAGE_USER, and set _PAGE_NX on it.
