This reverts commit d1a8d66b91.
Ard reported a boot failure when running UEFI under Qemu and Xen and
experimenting with various Tianocore build options,
"As it turns out, when allocating room for the UEFI memory map using
UEFI's AllocatePool (), it may result in two new memory map entries
being created, for instance, when using Tianocore's preallocated region
feature. For example, the following region
0x00005ead5000-0x00005ebfffff [Conventional Memory| | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]
may be split like this
0x00005ead5000-0x00005eae2fff [Conventional Memory| | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]
0x00005eae3000-0x00005eae4fff [Loader Data | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]
0x00005eae5000-0x00005ebfffff [Conventional Memory| | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]
if the preallocated Loader Data region was chosen to be right in the
middle of the original free space.
After patch d1a8d66b91 ("efi/libstub: Call get_memory_map() to
obtain map and desc sizes"), this is not being dealt with correctly
anymore, as the existing logic to allocate room for a single additional
entry has become insufficient."
Mark requested to reinstate the old loop we had before commit
d1a8d66b91, which grows the memory map buffer until it's big enough to
hold the EFI memory map.

There's nothing super scary, mainly cleanups, and a merge from Ricardo who
kindly picked up some patches from the linux-efi mailing list while I
was out on annual leave in December.
Perhaps the biggest risk is the get_memory_map() change from Ard, which
changes the way that both the arm64 and x86 EFI boot stub build the
early memory map. It would be good to have it bake in linux-next for a
while.

This fixes two minor issues in the implementation of get_memory_map():
- Currently, it assumes that sizeof(efi_memory_desc_t) == desc_size,
which is usually true, but not mandated by the spec. (This was added
intentionally to allow future additions to the definition of
efi_memory_desc_t). The way the loop is implemented currently, the
added slack space may be insufficient if desc_size is larger, which in
some corner cases could result in the loop never terminating.
- It allocates 32 efi_memory_desc_t entries first (again, using the size
of the struct instead of desc_size), and frees and reallocates if it
turns out to be insufficient. Few implementations of UEFI have such small
memory maps, which results in a unnecessary allocate/free pair on each
invocation.
Fix this by calling the get_memory_map() boot service first with a '0'
input value for map size to retrieve the map size and desc size from the
firmware and only then perform the allocation, using desc_size rather
than sizeof(efi_memory_desc_t).

This ensures all stub component are freed when the kernel proper is
done booting, by prefixing the names of all ELF sections that have
the SHF_ALLOC attribute with ".init". This approach ensures that even
implicitly emitted allocated data (like initializer values and string
literals) are covered.
At the same time, remove some __init annotations in the stub that have
now become redundant, and add the __init annotation to handle_kernel_image
which will now trigger a section mismatch warning without it.

In the absence of a DTB configuration table, the EFI stub will happily
continue attempting to boot a kernel, despite the fact that this kernel
may not function without a description of the hardware. In this case, as
with a typo'd "dtb=" option (e.g. "dbt=") or many other possible
failures, the only output seen by the user will be the rather terse
output from the EFI stub:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
To aid those attempting to debug such failures, this patch adds a notice
when no DTB is found, making the output more helpful:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Generating empty DTB
Additionally, a positive acknowledgement is added when a user-specified
DTB is in use:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Using DTB from command line
Similarly, a positive acknowledgement is added when a DTB from a
configuration table is in use:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table

We need a way to customize the behaviour of the EFI boot stub, in
particular, we need a way to disable the "chunking" workaround, used
when reading files from the EFI System Partition.
One of my machines doesn't cope well when reading files in 1MB chunks to
a buffer above the 4GB mark - it appears that the "chunking" bug
workaround triggers another firmware bug. This was only discovered with
commit 4bf7111f50 ("x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G"), and
that commit is perfectly valid. The symptom I observed was a corrupt
initrd rather than any kind of crash.
efi= is now used to specify EFI parameters in two very different
execution environments, the EFI boot stub and during kernel boot.
There is also a slight performance optimization by enabling efi=nochunk,
but that's offset by the fact that you're more likely to run into
firmware issues, at least on x86. This is the rationale behind leaving
the workaround enabled by default.
Also provide some documentation for EFI_READ_CHUNK_SIZE and why we're
using the current value of 1MB.

Commit 86c8b27a01:
"arm64: ignore DT memreserve entries when booting in UEFI mode
prevents early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() from being called for
arm64 kernels booting via UEFI. This was done because the kernel
will use the UEFI memory map to determine reserved memory regions.
That approach has problems in that early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem()
also reserves the FDT itself and any node-specific reserved memory.
By chance of some kernel configs, the FDT may be overwritten before
it can be unflattened and the kernel will fail to boot. More subtle
problems will result if the FDT has node specific reserved memory
which is not really reserved.
This patch has the UEFI stub remove the memory reserve map entries
from the FDT as it does with the memory nodes. This allows
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() to be called unconditionally
so that the other needed reservations are made.

This patch changes both x86 and arm64 efistub implementations
from #including shared .c files under drivers/firmware/efi to
building shared code as a static library.
The x86 code uses a stub built into the boot executable which
uncompresses the kernel at boot time. In this case, the library is
linked into the decompressor.
In the arm64 case, the stub is part of the kernel proper so the library
is linked into the kernel proper as well.
