Hello! A number of changes have gone in recently pertaining to UEFI booting and UEFI runtime services. The changes with the most damaging potential are: We now put UEFI runtime services into virtual address mode, fixing runtime services with U-Boot/UEFI as well as the firmware implementation in many Lenovos. The previously observed behavior was a kernel panic upon invocation of efibootmgr/efivar, or a kernel panic just loading efirt.ko or compiling EFIRT into the kernel. Graphics mode selection is now done differently to avoid regression caused by r327058 while still achieving the same effect. The observed regression was that the kernel would usually end up drawing incorrectly at the old resolution on a subset of the screen, due to incorrect framebuffer information. Explicit testing of these changes, the latest of which happened in r331326, and any feedback from this testing would be greatly appreciated. Testing should be done with either `options EFIRT` in your kernel config or efirt.ko loaded along with updated bootloader bits. I otherwise plan to MFC commits involved with the above-mentioned changes by sometime in the first week of April, likely no earlier than two (2) weeks from now on April 4th. Thanks, Kyle EvansReceived on Wed Mar 21 2018 - 23:45:50 UTC
