As reported by James, Catalin and Mark, commit:
e69176d68d ("ef/libstub/arm/arm64: Randomize the base of the UEFI rt services region")
... results in a crash in the firmware, regardless of whether KASLR
is in effect or not and whether the firmware implements EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL
or not.
Mark has identified the root cause to be the inappropriate use of
TASK_SIZE in the stub, which arm64 defines as:
#define TASK_SIZE (test_thread_flag(TIF_32BIT) ? \
TASK_SIZE_32 : TASK_SIZE_64)
and testing thread flags at this point results in the dereference of
pointers in uninitialized structures.
So instead, introduce a preprocessor symbol EFI_RT_VIRTUAL_LIMIT and
define it to TASK_SIZE_64 on arm64 and TASK_SIZE on ARM, both of which
are compile time constants. Also, change the 'headroom' variable to
static const to force an error if this might change in the future.
