Hmm, I'm not sure how many EFI runtime services are being used by kernel, but this is the only one broken I have seen. Not sure we want to disable the whole thing completely. Also, I'm looking at commit log of 0c5ed61adbdb ("efi/reboot: Allow powering off machines using EFI") below. Not only can EfiResetSystem() be used to reboot, it can also be used to power down machines. By and large, this functionality doesn't work very well across the range of EFI machines in the wild, so it should definitely only be used as a last resort. In an ideal world, this wouldn't be needed at all. Unfortunately, we're starting to see machines where EFI is the *only* reliable way to power down, and nothing else, not PCI, not ACPI, works. It seems poweroff via EFI runtime services is known not working for every machine, and was meant to be the last resort if nothing else can power off system. If we try PSCI first on arm64, you do not see my patch at all :) > Can't we just boot this thing with > efi=noruntime? We are trying to get arm64 laptop support into distros, and patching kernel cmdline with 'efi=novamap' is already a pain. We do not really want to have more of it. Shawn
