From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]> Add a lkdtm test case that triggers a fault during the execution of a EFI runtime service by passing a read-only variable as a by-ref argument that the firmware is supposed to update. This is useful for testing the graceful handling of faults/exception in EFI platform firmware, which is implemented on x86 and arm64.
