The virt map is a set of efi_memory_desc_t descriptors that are passed to SetVirtualAddressMap() to inform the firmware about the desired virtual mapping of the regions marked as EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME. The only reason we currently call the efi_get_memory_map() helper is that it gives us an allocation that is guaranteed to be of sufficient size. However, efi_get_memory_map() has grown some additional complexity over the years, and today, we're actually better off calling the EFI boot service directly with a zero size, which tells us how much memory should be enough for the virt map. While at it, avoid creating the VA map allocation if we will not be using it anyway, i.e., if efi_novamap is true. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
