[RFC PATCH 08/16] x86/split_lock: Set split lock during EFI runtime service

From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Sun May 27 2018 - 11:49:22 EST


If kernel enables #AC for split locked accesses, EFI runtime service may
hit #AC exception, treat it as fatal fault, and cause system hang.

To avoid debugging potential buggy EFI runtime service code in firmware,
restore to firmware split lock setting before entering EFI runtime service
and restore to kernel split lock setting after exiting EFI runtime service.
