[PATCH 2/3] x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable mapping for virtual EFI calls

From: Matt Fleming
Date: Wed Oct 03 2012 - 08:59:40 EST


From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@xxxxxxxxx>

Some firmware still needs a 1:1 (virt->phys) mapping even after we've
called SetVirtualAddressMap(). So install the mapping alongside our
existing kernel mapping whenever we make EFI calls in virtual mode.

This bug was discovered on ASUS machines where the firmware
implementation of GetTime() accesses the RTC device via physical
addresses, even though that's bogus per the UEFI spec since we've
informed the firmware via SetVirtualAddressMap() that the boottime
memory map is no longer valid.

This bug seems to be present in a lot of consumer devices, so there's
not a lot we can do about this spec violation apart from workaround
it.
