Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo 5779e2f0cc efi/x86: use naked RET on mixed mode call wrapper
commit 51a6fa0732 upstream.

When running with return thunks enabled under 32-bit EFI, the system
crashes with:

  kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)

That's because it cannot jump to the return thunk from the 32-bit code.

Using a naked RET and marking it as safe allows the system to proceed
booting.

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.
