rustc_target/spec/targets/x86_64_unknown_uefi.rs
1// This defines the amd64 target for UEFI systems as described in the UEFI specification. See the
2// uefi-base module for generic UEFI options. On x86_64 systems (mostly called "x64" in the spec)
3// UEFI systems always run in long-mode, have the interrupt-controller pre-configured and force a
4// single-CPU execution.
5// The win64 ABI is used. It differs from the sysv64 ABI, so we must use a windows target with
6// LLVM. "x86_64-unknown-windows" is used to get the minimal subset of windows-specific features.

21 // instruction sets, so this must be done by the firmware. However, existing firmware is known
22 // to leave these uninitialized, thus triggering exceptions if we make use of them. Which is
23 // why we avoid them and instead use soft-floats. This is also what GRUB and friends did so
