<title>efi/arm/arm64: Add missing assignment of efi.config_table</title>

<content type='text'>
The ARM EFI init code never assigns the config_table member of the
efi struct, which means the sysfs device node is missing, and other
in-kernel users will not work correctly. So add the missing assignment.

Note that, for now, the runtime and fw_vendor members are still
omitted. This is deliberate: exposing physical addresses via sysfs nodes
encourages behavior that we would like to avoid on ARM (given how it is
more finicky about using correct memory attributes when mapping memory
in userland that may be mapped by the kernel already as well).

<title>efi/arm: Don't mark ACPI reclaim memory as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f56ab9a5b73ca2aee777ccdf2d355ae2dd31db5a</id>
<content type='text'>
On ARM, regions of memory that are described by UEFI as having special
significance to the firmware itself are omitted from the linear mapping.
This is necessary since we cannot guarantee that alternate mappings of
the same physical region will use attributes that are compatible with
the ones we use for the linear mapping, and aliases with mismatched
attributes are prohibited by the architecture.

The above does not apply to ACPI reclaim regions: such regions have no
special significance to the firmware, and it is up to the OS to decide
whether or not to preserve them after it has consumed their contents,
and for how long, after which time the OS can use the memory in any way
it likes. In the Linux case, such regions are preserved indefinitely,
and are simply treated the same way as other 'reserved' memory types.

Punching holes into the linear mapping causes page table fragmentation,
which increases TLB pressure, and so we should avoid doing so if we can.
So add a special case for regions of type EFI_ACPI_RECLAIM_MEMORY, and
memblock_reserve() them instead of marking them MEMBLOCK_NOMAP.

<title>efi: Make EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE initialization common across all architectures</title>

<content type='text'>
Since EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE and EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE deal with
updating memory region attributes, it makes sense to call
EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE initialization function from the same place
as EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE. This also moves the EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE
initialization code to a more generic efi initialization path rather
than ARM specific efi initialization. This is important because
EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE will be supported by x86 as well.

<title>efi/arm64: Treat regions with WT/WC set but WB cleared as memory</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cb82cce7035ec22a69ab3bd4d2fe6729527ce1ca</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, memory regions are only recorded in the memblock memory table
if they have the EFI_MEMORY_WB memory type attribute set. In case the
region is of a reserved type, it is also marked as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP, which
will leave it out of the linear mapping.

However, memory regions may legally have the EFI_MEMORY_WT or EFI_MEMORY_WC
attributes set, and the EFI_MEMORY_WB cleared, in which case the region in
question is obviously backed by normal memory, but is not recorded in the
memblock memory table at all. Since it would be useful to be able to
identify any UEFI reported memory region using memblock_is_memory(), it
makes sense to add all memory to the memblock memory table, and simply mark
it as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP if it lacks the EFI_MEMORY_WB attribute.

While implementing this, let's refactor the code slightly to make it easier
to understand: replace is_normal_ram() with is_memory(), and make it return
true for each region that has any of the WB|WT|WC bits set. (This follows
the AArch64 bindings in the UEFI spec, which state that those are the
attributes that map to normal memory)

Also, replace is_reserve_region() with is_usable_memory(), and only invoke
it if the region in question was identified as memory by is_memory() in the
first place. The net result is the same (only reserved regions that are
backed by memory end up in the memblock memory table with the MEMBLOCK_NOMAP
flag set) but carried out in a more straightforward way.

Finally, we remove the trailing asterisk in the EFI debug output. Keeping it
clutters the code, and it serves no real purpose now that we no longer
temporarily reserve BootServices code and data regions like we did in the
early days of EFI support on arm64 Linux (which it inherited from the x86
implementation)

ESRT support is built by default for all architectures that define
CONFIG_EFI. However, this support was not wired up yet for ARM/arm64,
since efi_esrt_init() was never called. So add the missing call.

<title>efi: Refactor efi_memmap_init_early() into arch-neutral code</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9479c7cebfb568f8b8b424be7f1cac120e9eea95</id>
<content type='text'>
Every EFI architecture apart from ia64 needs to setup the EFI memory
map at efi.memmap, and the code for doing that is essentially the same
across all implementations. Therefore, it makes sense to factor this
out into the common code under drivers/firmware/efi/.

The only slight variation is the data structure out of which we pull
the initial memory map information, such as physical address, memory
descriptor size and version, etc. We can address this by passing a
generic data structure (struct efi_memory_map_data) as the argument to
efi_memmap_init_early() which contains the minimum info required for
initialising the memory map.

In the process, this patch also fixes a few undesirable implementation
differences:

 - ARM and arm64 were failing to clear the EFI_MEMMAP bit when
   unmapping the early EFI memory map. EFI_MEMMAP indicates whether
   the EFI memory map is mapped (not the regions contained within) and
   can be traversed.  It's more correct to set the bit as soon as we
   memremap() the passed in EFI memmap.

 - Rename efi_unmmap_memmap() to efi_memmap_unmap() to adhere to the
   regular naming scheme.

This patch also uses a read-write mapping for the memory map instead
of the read-only mapping currently used on ARM and arm64. x86 needs
the ability to update the memory map in-place when assigning virtual
addresses to regions (efi_map_region()) and tagging regions when
reserving boot services (efi_reserve_boot_services()).

There's no way for the generic fake_mem code to know which mapping to
use without introducing some arch-specific constant/hook, so just use
read-write since read-only is of dubious value for the EFI memory map.

<id>urn:sha1:c75343972b79ef5bd44c498a63b326e37470bbfc</id>
<content type='text'>
When both EFI and memblock debugging is enabled on the kernel command line:

  'efi=debug memblock=debug'

.. the debug messages for early_con look the following way:

 [    0.000000] efi:   0x0000e1050000-0x0000e105ffff [Memory Mapped I/O  |RUN|  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |UC]
 [    0.000000] efi:   0x0000e1300000-0x0000e1300fff [Memory Mapped I/O  |RUN|  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |UC]
 [    0.000000] efi:   0x0000e8200000-0x0000e827ffff [Memory Mapped I/O  |RUN|  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |UC]
 [    0.000000] efi:   0x008000000000-0x008001e7ffff [Runtime Data       |RUN|  |  |  |  |  |  |   |WB|WT|WC|UC]
 [    0.000000] memblock_add: [0x00008000000000-0x00008001e7ffff] flags 0x0 early_init_dt_add_memory_arch+0x54/0x5c
 [    0.000000] *
 ...

Note the misplaced '*' line, which happened because the memblock debug message
was printed while the EFI debug message was still being constructed..

This patch fixes the output to be the expected:

 [    0.000000] efi:   0x0000e1050000-0x0000e105ffff [Memory Mapped I/O  |RUN|  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |UC]
 [    0.000000] efi:   0x0000e1300000-0x0000e1300fff [Memory Mapped I/O  |RUN|  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |UC]
 [    0.000000] efi:   0x0000e8200000-0x0000e827ffff [Memory Mapped I/O  |RUN|  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |UC]
 [    0.000000] efi:   0x008000000000-0x008001e7ffff [Runtime Data       |RUN|  |  |  |  |  |  |   |WB|WT|WC|UC]*
 [    0.000000] memblock_add: [0x00008000000000-0x00008001e7ffff] flags 0x0 early_init_dt_add_memory_arch+0x54/0x5c
 ...

Note how the '*' is now in the proper EFI debug message line.

Now that ARM has a fully functional memremap() implementation, there is
no longer a need to remove the UEFI memory map from the linear mapping
in order to be able to create a permanent mapping for it using generic
code.

So remove the 'IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM)' conditional we added in:

7cc8cbcf82d1 ("efi/arm64: Don't apply MEMBLOCK_NOMAP to UEFI memory map mapping")

... and revert to using memblock_reserve() for both ARM and arm64.
