+Subject: loader/i386/linux: Prefer entry in long mode when booting via EFI
+
+The x86_64 Linux kernel can be booted in 32-bit mode, in which case the
+startup code creates a set of preliminary page tables that map the first
+4 GiB of physical memory 1:1 and enables paging. This is a prerequisite
+for 64-bit execution and can therefore only be implemented in 32-bit code.
+
+The x86_64 Linux kernel can also be booted in 64-bit mode directly: this
+implies that paging is already enabled and it is the responsibility of
+the bootloader to ensure that the active page tables cover the entire
+loaded image, including its BSS space, the size of which is described in
+the image's setup header.
+
+Given that the EFI spec mandates execution in long mode for x86_64 and
+stipulates that all system memory is mapped 1:1, the Linux/x86
+requirements for 64-bit entry can be met trivially when booting on
+x86_64 via EFI. So, enter via the 64-bit entry point in this case.
+
+This involves inspecting the xloadflags field in the setup header to
+check whether the 64-bit entry point is supported. This field was
+introduced in Linux version v3.8 (early 2013).
+
+This change ensures that all EFI firmware tables and other assets passed
+by the firmware or bootloader in memory remain mapped and accessible
+throughout the early startup code.
+
+Avoiding the drop out of long mode will also be needed to support
+upcoming CPU designs that no longer implement 32-bit mode at all
+(as recently announced by Intel [0]).
