[PATCH 3/3] x86/efi: Use efi_switch_mm() rather than manually twiddling with %cr3

From: Sai Praneeth Prakhya
Date: Sat Dec 16 2017 - 19:11:46 EST


From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya@xxxxxxxxx>

Use helper function (efi_switch_mm()) to switch to/from efi_mm. We
switch to efi_mm before calling
1. efi_set_virtual_address_map() and
2. Invoking any efi_runtime_service()

Likewise, we need to switch back to previous mm (mm context stolen by
efi_mm) after the above calls return successfully. We can use
efi_switch_mm() helper function only with x86_64 kernel and
"efi=old_map" disabled because, x86_32 and efi=old_map doesn't use
efi_pgd, rather they use swapper_pg_dir.
