Subject: [PATCH 056/325] efi: Disable runtime services on RT
|

|
Based on meassurements the EFI functions get_variable /
|
|
|
|
get_next_variable take up to 2us which looks okay.
|
|
|
|
The functions get_time, set_time take around 10ms. Those 10ms are too
|
|
|
|
much. Even one ms would be too much.
|
|
|
|
Ard mentioned that SetVariable might even trigger larger latencies if
|
|
|
|
the firware will erase flash blocks on NOR.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The time-functions are used by efi-rtc and can be triggered during
|
|
|
|
runtimed (either via explicit read/write or ntp sync).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The variable write could be used by pstore.
|
|
|
|
These functions can be disabled without much of a loss. The poweroff /
|
|
|
|
reboot hooks may be provided by PSCI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Disable EFI's runtime wrappers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This was observed on "EFI v2.60 by SoftIron Overdrive 1000".
