[PATCH] x86: EFI runtime code mapping enhancement

From: Huang, Ying
Date: Wed Feb 13 2008 - 04:35:35 EST


This patch enhances EFI runtime code memory mapping as following:

- Move __supported_pte_mask & _PAGE_NX checking before invoking
runtime_code_page_mkexec(). This makes it possible for compiler to
eliminate runtime_code_page_mkexec() on machine without NX support.

- Use set_memory_x/nx in early_mapping_set_exec(). This eliminates the
duplicated implementation.

This patch has been tested on Intel x86_64 platform with EFI64/32
firmware.
