ARM: 9012/1: move device tree mapping out of linear region

2021-05-19T08:13:18+00:00

commit 7a1be318f5795cb66fa0dc86b3ace427fe68057f upstream On ARM, setting up the linear region is tricky, given the constraints around placement and alignment of the memblocks, and how the kernel itself as well as the DT are placed in physical memory. Let's simplify matters a bit, by moving the device tree mapping to the top of the address space, right between the end of the vmalloc region and the start of the the fixmap region, and create a read-only mapping for it that is independent of the size of the linear region, and how it is organized. Since this region was formerly used as a guard region, which will now be populated fully on LPAE builds by this read-only mapping (which will still be able to function as a guard region for stray writes), bump the start of the [underutilized] fixmap region by 512 KB as well, to ensure that there is always a proper guard region here. Doing so still leaves ample room for the fixmap space, even with NR_CPUS set to its maximum value of 32.

efi: efivars: limit availability to X86 builds

2020-09-29T17:40:57+00:00

CONFIG_EFI_VARS controls the code that exposes EFI variables via sysfs entries, which was deprecated before support for non-Intel architectures was added to EFI. So let's limit its availability to Intel architectures for the time being, and hopefully remove it entirely in the not too distant future. While at it, let's remove the module alias so that the module is no longer loaded automatically. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel
