[PATCH v3 0/3] efi interruptible runtime services

[Ard Biesheuvel]

This is a resend of the generic part of the series 'efi interruptible runtime
services', of which v3 was sent out on January 13th. I have added an additional
patch on top which gives runtime-wrappers.c the same treatment as efivars.c,
i.e., replacing the spinlock with a semaphore.

v2: rebase onto v4.7-rc3
    pr_warn() on failure to acquire the rt services semaphore before invoking
    the reset_system runtime service
    map EFI_ABORTED onto -EINTR

v3: drop lockdep_assert_xxx() calls (#2)

Ard Biesheuvel (1):
  efi: replace runtime services spinlock with semaphore

Sylvain Chouleur (2):
  efi: use a file local lock for efivars
  efi: don't use spinlocks for efi vars

Thanks Ard, applied for v4.9.
