[PATCH v2] efi: implement mandatory locking for UEFI Runtime Services

Tue Jul 8 04:21:48 PDT 2014


According to section 7.1 of the UEFI spec, Runtime Services are not fully
reentrant, and there are particular combinations of calls that need to be
serialized.

So this is v2 of the UEFI Runtime Services serialization patch: this time, I use
a single spinlock rather than a set of mutexes, resulting in all services to be
serialized with respect to all others. Also added handling of NMI state, as this
results in some of the restrictions being lifted (x86, ia64 only)

One question remains: with the NMI deadlock handling in place, is it really
necessary to disable interrupts in all cases?
