[PATCH 3/3] x86/efistub: disable paging at mixed mode entry
From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Tue Dec 24 2019 - 08:30:45 EST
The EFI mixed mode entry code goes through the ordinary startup_32()
routine before jumping into the kernel's EFI boot code in 64-bit
mode. The 32-bit startup code must be entered with paging disabled,
but this is not documented as a requirement for the EFI handover
protocol, and so we should disable paging explicitly when entering
the kernel from 32-bit EFI firmware.
