[PATCH v2 6/6] efi: Use generic EFI loader for x86_64 and i386


From: Ard Biesheuvel
Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] efi: Use generic EFI loader for x86_64 and i386
Date: Thu, 11 May 2023 14:06:40 +0200

Switch the x86 based EFI platform builds to the generic EFI loader,
which exposes the initrd via the LoadFile2 protocol instead of the
x86-specific setup header. This will launch the Linux kernel via its EFI
stub, which performs its own initialization in the EFI boot services
context before calling ExitBootServices() and performing the bare metal
Linux boot.

Given that only Linux kernel versions v5.8 and later support this initrd
loading method, the existing x86 loader is retained as a fallback, which
will also be used for Linux kernels built without the EFI stub. In this
case, GRUB calls ExitBootServices() before entering the Linux kernel,
and all EFI related information is provided to the kernel via struct
boot_params in the setup header, as before.

Note that this means that booting EFI stub kernels older than v5.8 is
not supported even when not using an initrd at all. Also, the EFI
handover protocol, which has no basis in the UEFI specification, is not
implemented.
