![]() Today, it is not possible for drivers to reserve EFI boot services for access after efi_free_boot_services() has been called on x86. For ARM/arm64 it can be done simply by calling memblock_reserve(). Having this ability for all three architectures is desirable for a couple of reasons, 1) It saves drivers copying data out of those regions 2) kexec reboot can now make use of things like ESRT Instead of using the standard memblock_reserve() which is insufficient to reserve the region on x86 (see efi_reserve_boot_services()), a new API is introduced in this patch; efi_mem_reserve(). efi.memmap now always represents which EFI memory regions are available. On x86 the EFI boot services regions that have not been reserved via efi_mem_reserve() will be removed from efi.memmap during efi_free_boot_services(). This has implications for kexec, since it is not possible for a newly kexec'd kernel to access the same boot services regions that the initial boot kernel had access to unless they are reserved by every kexec kernel in the chain.
