From 232f4eb6393f42f7f9418560ae9228e747fc6faf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2020 09:56:14 +0200 Subject: efi: pstore: disentangle from deprecated efivars module The EFI pstore implementation relies on the 'efivars' abstraction, which encapsulates the EFI variable store in a way that can be overridden by other backing stores, like the Google SMI one. On top of that, the EFI pstore implementation also relies on the efivars.ko module, which is a separate layer built on top of the 'efivars' abstraction that exposes the [deprecated] sysfs entries for each variable that exists in the backing store. Since the efivars.ko module is deprecated, and all users appear to have moved to the efivarfs file system instead, let's prepare for its removal, by removing EFI pstore's dependency on it.
