x86/efi: Setup separate EFI page tables in kexec paths
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The switch to using a new dedicated page table for EFI runtime
calls in commit commit 67a9108 ("x86/efi: Build our own
page table structures") failed to take into account changes
required for the kexec code paths, which are unfortunately
duplicated in the EFI code.

Call the allocation and setup functions in
kexec_enter_virtual_mode() just like we do for
__efi_enter_virtual_mode() to avoid hitting NULL-pointer
dereferences when making EFI runtime calls.

At the very least, the call to efi_setup_page_tables() should
have existed for kexec before the following commit:

  67a9108 ("x86/efi: Build our own page table structures")

Things just magically worked because we were actually using
the kernel's page tables that contained the required mappings.
