From 3748ed908fd478b36bf698839632b2514c450513 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: AKASHI Takahiro Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2018 15:36:32 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] efi_loader: fix a parameter check at CreateEvent() The commit 21b3edfc9644 ("efi_loader: check parameters of CreateEvent") enforces a strict parameter check at CreateEvent(). On the other hand, UEFI specification version 2.7, section 7.1, says: The EVT_NOTIFY_WAIT and EVT_NOTIFY_SIGNAL flags are exclusive. If neither flag is specified, the caller does not require any notification concerning the event and the NotifyTpl, NotifyFunction, and NotifyContext parameters are ignored. So the check should be mitigated so as to comply with the specification. Without this patch, EDK2's Shell.efi won't be started.
