Comparing current_work() against efi_rts_work.work is sufficient to decide whether current is currently running EFI runtime services code at any level in its call stack. However, there are other potential users of the EFI runtime stack, such as the ACPI subsystem, which may invoke efi_call_virt_pointer() directly, and so any sync exceptions occurring in firmware during those calls are currently misidentified. So instead, let's check whether the stashed value of the thread stack pointer points into current's thread stack. This can only be the case if current was interrupted while running EFI runtime code. Note that this implies that we should clear the stashed value after switching back, to avoid false positives.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
