From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> [ Commit cb380000dd23cbbf8bd7d023b51896804c1f7e68 upstream ] In preparation for updating the EFI stub boot flow to avoid the bare metal decompressor code altogether, implement the support code for switching between 4 and 5 levels of paging before jumping to the kernel proper. This reuses the newly refactored trampoline that the bare metal decompressor uses, but relies on EFI APIs to allocate 32-bit addressable memory and remap it with the appropriate permissions. Given that the bare metal decompressor will no longer call into the trampoline if the number of paging levels is already set correctly, it is no longer needed to remove NX restrictions from the memory range where this trampoline may end up.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
