From 1e1e1c27c5b46acfdc8927002baa7d4cb9a888db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heinrich Schuchardt Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2018 23:55:38 +0200 Subject: efi_loader: execute efi_save_gd() first If DEBUG is defined we may be calling EFI_CALL already during the initialization of the EFI subsystem. We must make sure efi_save_gd() has already been called at that moment. Anyway it is better to have this call in one location instead of three. This fixes an illegal memory access occurring since 4e6b5d6503ce ("efi_loader: create root node") with DEBUG = 1.
