EFI and RT incompatible?

Hi,

I compiled 5.0.5-rt3 last week, and after rebooting I found that efivarfs failed to mount. Loading the efivarfs module gave me a 'device not found' error.

Rebooting into 5.0.0 (no rt) and efivarfs automounted as usual.

Trouble is, I have no experience with bisecting between two different branches, so I have no clue on how to start debugging this. Anybody want to throw me some pointers?

Linux-rt is disabling EFI runtime by default because it may increase the latency of the system (see [1] for more details).

You can override the behavior by adding "efi=runtime" on your kernel command line.

Yeah, I saw the 22/3 thread too late.

Thanks anyway,
