Tianocore is just one of the many UEFI implementations the kernel should be compatible with, so where it happens to store this value is not entirely relevant. > Signed-off-by: Semen Protsenko <semen.protsenko@linaro.org> Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> > --- > arch/arm64/kernel/efi.c | 2 ++ > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/efi.c b/arch/arm64/kernel/efi.c > index e72f310..5dbb7bd 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/efi.c > +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/efi.c > @@ -463,6 +463,8 @@ static int __init arm64_enter_virtual_mode(void) > efi_native_runtime_setup(); > set_bit(EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES, &efi.flags); > > + efi.runtime_version = efi.systab->hdr.revision; > + > return 0; > > err_unmap: > -- > 2.0.1 >

Ah, ok, I wouldn't worry about it then. I was just trawling the list for arm64 patches without me on CC in case I missed anything during the kernel summit. Thanks for picking it up! Will
> I doubt it makes any difference It really does. The whole reason I made this patch is that I was unable to call UpdateCapsule() runtime service, because when you try to call it, kernel code first tests if we have UEFI with certain Runtime Services revision. In this code (drivers/firmware/efi/runtime.c): static efi_status_t virt_efi_update_capsule(efi_capsule_header_t **capsules, unsigned long count, unsigned long sg_list) { if (efi.runtime_version < EFI_2_00_SYSTEM_TABLE_REVISION) return EFI_UNSUPPORTED; return efi_call_virt(update_capsule, capsules, count, sg_list); } Condition is false, because efi.runtime_version == 0. The same stuff was happening about some other Runtime Services. So this patch just fixes this. > but can we assign this before we call efi_native_runtime_setup please? Yeah, it's quite late for this as patch is already upstreamed :) Anyway, if you could explain why it's essential -- I can make another patch moving this code to correct place.

"efi" global data structure contains "runtime_version" field which must be assigned in order to use it later in Runtime Services virtual calls (virt_efi_* functions). Before this patch "runtime_version" was unassigned (0), so each Runtime Service virtual call that checks revision would fail. Runtime Services revision being passed in UEFI system table from UEFI to kernel (see efi_entry() function). In UEFI it's being stored at MdePkg/Include/Uefi/UefiSpec.h as EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_REVISION.
