84be880560 Revert "efi/x86: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>"
This reverts commit f23cf8bd5c ("efi/x86: efistub: Move shared
dependencies to <asm/efi.h>") as well as the x86 parts of commit
f4f75ad574 ("efi: efistub: Convert into static library").

The road leading to these two reverts is long and winding.

The above two commits were merged during the v3.17 merge window and
turned the common EFI boot stub code into a static library. This
necessitated making some symbols global in the x86 boot stub which
introduced new entries into the early boot GOT.

The problem was that we weren't fixing up the newly created GOT entries
before invoking the EFI boot stub, which sometimes resulted in hangs or
resets. This failure was reported by Maarten on his Macbook pro.

The proposed fix was commit 9cb0e39423 ("x86/efi: Fixup GOT in all
boot code paths"). However, that caused issues for Linus when booting
his Sony Vaio Pro 11. It was subsequently reverted in commit
f3670394c2.

So that leaves us back with Maarten's Macbook pro not booting.

At this stage in the release cycle the least risky option is to revert
the x86 EFI boot stub to the pre-merge window code structure where we
explicitly #include efi-stub-helper.c instead of linking with the static
library. The arm64 code remains unaffected.

We can take another swing at the x86 parts for v3.18.

0ceac9e094 efi/arm64: Fix fdt-related memory reservation
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.

aee530cfec firmware: Do not use WARN_ON(!spin_is_locked())
spin_is_locked() always returns false for uniprocessor configurations
in several architectures, so do not use WARN_ON with it.
Use lockdep_assert_held() instead to also reduce overhead in

6a2c20e7d8 kexec: support kexec/kdump on EFI systems
This patch does two things.  It passes EFI run time mappings to second
kernel in bootparams efi_info.  Second kernel parse this info and create
new mappings in second kernel.  That means mappings in first and second
kernel will be same.  This paves the way to enable EFI in kexec kernel.

This patch also prepares and passes EFI setup data through bootparams.
This contains bunch of information about various tables and their
addresses.

These information gathering and passing has been written along the lines
of what current kexec-tools is doing to make kexec work with UEFI.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Again, ACPICA leads the pack (47 commits), followed by cpufreq (18
  commits) and system suspend/hibernation (9 commits).

  From the new code perspective, the ACPICA update brings ACPI 5.1 to
  the table, including a new device configuration object called _DSD
  (Device Specific Data) that will hopefully help us to operate device
  properties like Device Trees do (at least to some extent) and changes
  related to supporting ACPI on ARM.

  Apart from that we have hibernation changes making it use radix trees
  to store memory bitmaps which should speed up some operations carried
  out by it quite significantly.  We also have some power management
  changes related to suspend-to-idle (the "freeze" sleep state) support
  and more preliminary changes needed to support ACPI on ARM (outside of
  ACPICA).

  The rest is fixes and cleanups pretty much everywhere.

 - identify architectural boxes and abstract it accordingly (tlb flush and MCE)
 - rework ioremap for both IRQ and NMI context
 
 NMI code is kept in ghes.c file since NMI and IRQ context are tightly coupled.
 
 Note, these patches introduce no functional changes for x86. The NMI notification
 feature is hard selected for x86. Architectures that want to use this
 feature should also provide NMI code infrastructure.

28d54022e6 efi: Autoload efivars
The original patch is from Ben Hutchings's contribution to debian
kernel. Got Ben's permission to remove the code of efi-pstore.c and
send to linux-efi:
https://github.com/BlankOn/linux-debian/blob/master/debian/patches/features/all/efi-autoload-efivars.patch

efivars is generally useful to have on EFI systems, and in some cases
it may be impossible to load it after a kernel upgrade in order to
complete a boot loader update. At the same time we don't want to waste
memory on non-EFI systems by making them built-in.

Instead, give them module aliases as if they are platform drivers, and
register a corresponding platform device whenever EFI runtime services
are available.  This should trigger udev to load them.

9f27bc543b efi: Introduce EFI_PARAVIRT flag
Introduce EFI_PARAVIRT flag. If it is set then kernel runs
on EFI platform but it has not direct control on EFI stuff
like EFI runtime, tables, structures, etc. If not this means
that Linux Kernel has direct access to EFI infrastructure
and everything runs as usual.

This functionality is used in Xen dom0 because hypervisor
has full control on EFI stuff and all calls from dom0 to
EFI must be requested via special hypercall which in turn
executes relevant EFI code in behalf of dom0.

abc93f8eb6 efi: Use early_mem*() instead of early_io*()
Use early_mem*() instead of early_io*() because all mapped EFI regions
are memory (usually RAM but they could also be ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, flash,
etc.) not I/O regions. Additionally, I/O family calls do not work correctly
under Xen in our case. early_ioremap() skips the PFN to MFN conversion
when building the PTE. Using it for memory will attempt to map the wrong
machine frame. However, all artificial EFI structures created under Xen
live in dom0 memory and should be mapped/unmapped using early_mem*() family
calls which map domain memory.

0c5ed61adb efi/reboot: Allow powering off machines using EFI
Not only can EfiResetSystem() be used to reboot, it can also be used to
power down machines.

By and large, this functionality doesn't work very well across the range
of EFI machines in the wild, so it should definitely only be used as a
last resort. In an ideal world, this wouldn't be needed at all.

Unfortunately, we're starting to see machines where EFI is the *only*
reliable way to power down, and nothing else, not PCI, not ACPI, works.

efi_poweroff_required() should be implemented on a per-architecture
basis, since exactly when we should be using EFI runtime services is a
platform-specific decision. There's no analogue for reboot because each
architecture handles reboot very differently - the x86 code in
particular is pretty complex.

Patches to enable this for specific classes of hardware will be
submitted separately.

8562c99cdd efi/reboot: Add generic wrapper around EfiResetSystem()
Implement efi_reboot(), which is really just a wrapper around the
EfiResetSystem() EFI runtime service, but it does at least allow us to
funnel all callers through a single location.

It also simplifies the callsites since users no longer need to check to

f4f75ad574 efi: efistub: Convert into static library
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.

bd669475d1 efi: efistub: Refactor stub components
In order to move from the #include "../../../xxxxx.c" anti-pattern used
by both the x86 and arm64 versions of the stub to a static library
linked into either the kernel proper (arm64) or a separate boot

This patch does the following:
- move forward declarations of functions shared between the arch
  specific and the generic parts of the stub to include/linux/efi.h
- move forward declarations of functions shared between various .c files
  of the generic stub code to a new local header file called "efistub.h"
- add #includes to all .c files which were formerly relying on the
  #includor to include the correct header files
- remove all static modifiers from functions which will need to be

f49182ec8c efi/arm64: efistub: remove local copy of linux_banner
The shared efistub code for ARM and arm64 contains a local copy of
linux_banner, allowing it to be referenced from separate executables
such as the ARM decompressor. However, this introduces a dependency on
generated header files, causing unnecessary rebuilds of the stub itself
and, in case of arm64, vmlinux which contains it.

On arm64, the copy is not actually needed since we can reference the
original symbol directly, and as it turns out, there may be better ways
to deal with this for ARM as well, so let's remove it from the shared

783ee43118 efi-pstore: Fix an overflow on 32-bit builds
In generic_id the long int timestamp is multiplied by 100000 and needs
an explicit cast to u64.

Without that the id in the resulting pstore filename is wrong and
userspace may have problems parsing it, but more importantly files in
pstore can never be deleted and may fill the EFI flash (brick device?).
This happens because when generic pstore code wants to delete a file,
it passes the id to the EFI backend which reinterpretes it and a wrong
variable name is attempted to be deleted.  There's no error message but
after remounting pstore, deleted files would reappear.

ARM and ARM64 architectures use the device tree to pass UEFI parameters
from stub to kernel. These parameters are things known to the stub but
not discoverable by the kernel after the stub calls ExitBootSerives().
There is a helper function in:

   drivers/firmware/efi/fdt.c

which the stub uses to add the UEFI parameters to the device tree.
This patch adds a complimentary helper function which UEFI runtime
support may use to retrieve the parameters from the device tree.
If an architecture wants to use this helper, it should select
CONFIG_EFI_PARAMS_FROM_FDT.

47514c996f efi: Pass correct file handle to efi_file_{read,close}
We're currently passing the file handle for the root file system to
efi_file_read() and efi_file_close(), instead of the file handle for the
file we wish to read/close.

While this has worked up until now, it seems that it has only been by
pure luck. Olivier explains,

 "The issue is the UEFI Fat driver might return the same function for
  'fh->read()' and 'h->read()'. While in our case it does not work with
  a different implementation of EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. In our
  case, we return a different pointer when reading a directory and
  reading a file."

Fixing this actually clears up the two functions because we can drop one
of the arguments, and instead only pass a file 'handle' argument.

204b0a1a4b x86, efi: Abstract x86 efi_early calls
The ARM EFI boot stub doesn't need to care about the efi_early
infrastructure that x86 requires in order to do mixed mode thunking. So
wrap everything up in an efi_call_early() macro.

This allows x86 to do the necessary indirection jumps to call whatever
firmware interface is necessary (native or mixed mode), but also allows
the ARM folks to mask the fact that they don't support relocation in the
boot stub and need to pass 'sys_table_arg' to every function.
