Remove the obsolete 'efivars' sysfs based interface to the EFI variable store, now that all users have moved to the efivarfs pseudo file system, which was created ~10 years ago to address some fundamental shortcomings in the sysfs based driver. Move the 'business logic' related to which EFI variables are important and may affect the boot flow from the efivars support layer into the efivarfs pseudo file system, so it is no longer exposed to other parts of the kernel. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGzBAABCgAdFiEE+9lifEBpyUIVN1cpw08iOZLZjyQFAmLhuYIACgkQw08iOZLZ jyRYYgwAwUvbFtBL+uOTB+jynOq1MkM1xrNSeEgzPyLhh7CXSa/e+48XqpQjCUxY 8HNqDvd4toiCeVKp25AO+FPrQBjT7NdyjnwGMP3DLkGCOSIrVqVJ/2OmbOY52Kzy z1qbF2+7ak1TUsGzMnJHVDB+baGnUlZ39DuR6IAWstM9tkH/QEnRJV+ejS4h7jdN XW42/M96mAYFfT4Q4gs1HJMPWLP22xoEbnb9SkOyFCB2tHDjrY94CqH8L7Ee1DgA 7sc2cAZ2mPlS8Rbs8NY8IA/LpN4tRu2EhbIxtmKMRgXA88aTKcsub9Tq9RXxzE/x BpkH77mGbSBSrntg0gskKCrYGyJaGS9EYnHVy5HPU8hJagK295NmO3c/trHTb90Z 1RZClYsIUbNXe06e9rdk8w8Ozn+7ABstxzLCvj2MThtTBnAbjU0kQ9VeD0xwMvOp EaF6D6tbEmHrZkGtKP2WEyOZm0tF2I3OP1U9LzjyTpvsIOINhqfVozlhTB6pU5YE kW9E59i+ =VVQ6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'efi-efivars-removal-for-v5.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi Pull efivars sysfs interface removal from Ard Biesheuvel: "Remove the obsolete 'efivars' sysfs based interface to the EFI variable store, now that all users have moved to the efivarfs pseudo file system, which was created ~10 years ago to address some fundamental shortcomings in the sysfs based driver.
