[PATCH 0/3] Move memory acceptance x86 arch code into EFI stub

From: Ard Biesheuvel

Date: Mon Sep 14 2026 - 14:45:39 EST


This is a follow-up to [0].

Move arch_accept_memory(), which is only called by the EFI stub and
never by the decompressor on a non-EFI boot, into the EFI stub, and
avoid relying directly on decompressor APIs such as error().

Instead, call tdx_panic() on a failure to accept memory in a TDX guest.

This makes the decompressor's implementation of panic() obsolete, and
allows it to be removed. This is a prerequisite for dropping the
implementation of snprintf() from the EFI stub entirely, which is what
the series containing [0] implements.
