Subject: efi/runtime-wrappers: Keep track of the efi_runtime_lock owner
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a2860501203cf7a2116adf3bb4e4c456c5750872;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

efi/runtime-wrappers: Keep track of the efi_runtime_lock owner

The EFI runtime wrappers use a file local semaphore to serialize access
to the EFI runtime services. This means that any calls to the arch
wrappers around the runtime services will also be serialized, removing
the need for redundant locking.

For robustness, add a facility that allows those arch wrappers to assert
that the semaphore was taken by the current task.
