Move the 'business logic' related to which EFI variables are important and may affect the boot flow from the efivars support layer into the efivarfs pseudo file system, so it is no longer exposed to other parts of the kernel. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ard Biesheuvel (3): efi: vars: Remove deprecated 'efivars' sysfs interface efi: vars: Switch to new wrapper layer efi: vars: Move efivar caching layer into efivarfs Documentation/x86/x86_64/uefi.rst | 2 +- arch/arm/configs/milbeaut_m10v_defconfig | 1 - arch/ia64/configs/bigsur_defconfig | 1 - arch/ia64/configs/generic_defconfig | 1 - arch/ia64/configs/gensparse_defconfig | 1 - arch/ia64/configs/tiger_defconfig | 1 - arch/ia64/configs/zx1_defconfig | 1 - arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig | 1 - arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig | 1 - drivers/firmware/efi/Kconfig | 12 - drivers/firmware/efi/Makefile | 1 - drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c | 1 + drivers/firmware/efi/efivars.c | 660 ------------------- drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c | 1023 ------------------------------ fs/efivarfs/Makefile | 2 +- fs/efivarfs/internal.h | 40 ++ fs/efivarfs/vars.c | 738 +++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/efi.h | 56 -- 18 files changed, 781 insertions(+), 1762 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 drivers/firmware/efi/efivars.c create mode 100644 fs/efivarfs/vars.c
