[PATCH 25/25] efi/libstub/x86: avoid globals to store context during mixed mode calls

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Tue Dec 24 2019 - 10:11:32 EST


Instead of storing the return address in a global variable when calling
a 32-bit EFI service from the 64-bit stub, avoid the indirection via
efi_exit32, and take the return address from the stack.
