x86, efi: Make efi_call_phys_{prelog,epilog} CONFIG_RELOCATABLE-aware
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
efi_call_phys_prelog() sets up a 1:1 mapping of the physical address
range in swapper_pg_dir. Instead of replacing then restoring entries
in swapper_pg_dir we should be using initial_page_table which already
contains the 1:1 mapping.

It's safe to blindly switch back to swapper_pg_dir in the epilog
because the physical EFI routines are only called before
efi_enter_virtual_mode(), e.g. before any user processes have been
forked. Therefore, we don't need to track which pgd was in %cr3 when
we entered the prelog.

The previous code actually contained a bug because it assumed that the
kernel was loaded at a physical address within the first 8MB of ram,
usually at 0x100000. However, this isn't the case with a
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y kernel which could have been loaded anywhere in
the physical address space.

Also delete the ancient (and bogus) comments about the page table
being restored after the lock is released. There is no locking.
