[ Upstream commit 33412b8673135b18ea42beb7f5117ed0091798b6 ]

Commit:

  3ea86495aef2 ("efi/arm: preserve early mapping of UEFI memory map longer for BGRT")

deferred the unmap of the early mapping of the UEFI memory map to
accommodate the ACPI BGRT code, which looks up the memory type that
backs the BGRT table to validate it against the requirements of the UEFI spec.

Unfortunately, this causes problems on ARM, which does not permit
early mappings to persist after paging_init() is called, resulting
in a WARN() splat. Since we don't support the BGRT table on ARM anway,
let's revert ARM to the old behaviour, which is to take down the
early mapping at the end of efi_init().

commit 41f1c48420709470c51ee0e54b6fb28b956bb4e0 upstream.

When building with CONFIG_EFI and CONFIG_EFI_STUB on ARM, the libstub
Makefile would use -mno-single-pic-base without checking it was
supported by the compiler. As the ARM (32-bit) clang backend does not
support this flag, the build would fail.

This changes the Makefile to check the compiler's support for
-mno-single-pic-base before using it, similar to c1c386681bd7 ("ARM:
8767/1: add support for building ARM kernel with clang").

commit 72a58a63a164b4e9d2d914e65caeb551846883f1 upstream.

Commit:

  24d7c494ce46 ("efi/arm-stub: Round up FDT allocation to mapping size")

increased the allocation size for the FDT image created by the stub to a
fixed value of 2 MB, to simplify the former code that made several
attempts with increasing values for the size. This is reasonable
given that the allocation is of type EFI_LOADER_DATA, which is released
to the kernel unless it is explicitly memblock_reserve()d by the early
boot code.

However, this allocation size leaked into the 'size' field of the FDT
header metadata, and so the entire allocation remains occupied by the
device tree binary, even if most of it is not used to store device tree
information.

So call fdt_pack() to shrink the FDT data structure to its minimum size
after populating all the fields, so that the remaining memory is no
longer wasted.

Pull fbdev updates from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz:
 "Mostly small fixes and cleanups for fb drivers (the biggest updates
  are for udlfb and pxafb drivers). This also adds deferred console
  takeover support to the console code and efifb driver.

  Summary:

   - add support for deferred console takeover, when enabled defers
     fbcon taking over the console from the dummy console until the
     first text is displayed on the console - together with the "quiet"
     kernel commandline option this allows fbcon to still be used
     together with a smooth graphical bootup (Hans de Goede)

   - improve console locking debugging code (Thomas Zimmermann)

   - copy the ACPI BGRT boot graphics to the framebuffer when deferred
     console takeover support is used in efifb driver (Hans de Goede)

   - update udlfb driver - fix lost console when the user unplugs a USB
     adapter, fix the screen corruption issue, fix locking and add some
     performance optimizations (Mikulas Patocka)

   - update pxafb driver - fix using uninitialized memory, switch to
     devm_* API, handle initialization errors and add support for
     lcd-supply regulator (Daniel Mack)

   - add support for boards booted with a DeviceTree in pxa3xx_gcu
     driver (Daniel Mack)

   - rename omap2 module to omap2fb.ko to avoid conflicts with omap1
     driver (Arnd Bergmann)

   - enable ACPI-based enumeration for goldfishfb driver (Yu Ning)

   - fix goldfishfb driver to make user space Android code use 60 fps
     (Christoffer Dall)

   - print big fat warning when nomodeset kernel parameter is used in
     vgacon driver (Lyude Paul)

   - remove VLA usage from fsl-diu-fb driver (Kees Cook)

   - misc fixes (Julia Lawall, Geert Uytterhoeven, Fredrik Noring,
     Yisheng Xie, Dan Carpenter, Daniel Vetter, Anton Vasilyev, Randy
     Dunlap, Gustavo A. R. Silva, Colin Ian King, Fengguang Wu)

To allow existing C code to be incorporated into the decompressor or the
UEFI stub, introduce a CPP macro that turns all EXPORT_SYMBOL_xxx
declarations into nops, and #define it in places where such exports are
undesirable.  Note that this gets rid of a rather dodgy redefine of
linux/export.h's header guard.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "A bunch of good stuff in here. Worth noting is that we've pulled in
  the x86/mm branch from -tip so that we can make use of the core
  ioremap changes which allow us to put down huge mappings in the
  vmalloc area without screwing up the TLB. Much of the positive
  diffstat is because of the rseq selftest for arm64.

  Summary:

   - Wire up support for qspinlock, replacing our trusty ticket lock
     code

   - Add an IPI to flush_icache_range() to ensure that stale
     instructions fetched into the pipeline are discarded along with the
     I-cache lines

   - Support for the GCC "stackleak" plugin

   - Support for restartable sequences, plus an arm64 port for the
     selftest

   - Kexec/kdump support on systems booting with ACPI

   - Rewrite of our syscall entry code in C, which allows us to zero the
     GPRs on entry from userspace

   - Support for chained PMU counters, allowing 64-bit event counters to
     be constructed on current CPUs

   - Ensure scheduler topology information is kept up-to-date with CPU
     hotplug events

   - Re-enable support for huge vmalloc/IO mappings now that the core
     code has the correct hooks to use break-before-make sequences

   - Miscellaneous, non-critical fixes and cleanups"

arm64 uses the full KBUILD_CFLAGS for building libstub as opposed
to x86 which doesn't. This means that x86 doesn't pick up
the gcc-plugins. We need to disable the stackleak plugin but
doing this unconditionally breaks x86 build since it doesn't
have any plugins. Switch to disabling the stackleak plugin for
arm64 only.

<content type='text'>
This adds support for the STACKLEAK gcc plugin to arm64 by implementing
stackleak_check_alloca(), based heavily on the x86 version, and adding the
two helpers used by the stackleak common code: current_top_of_stack() and
on_thread_stack(). The stack erasure calls are made at syscall returns.
Additionally, this disables the plugin in hypervisor and EFI stub code,
which are out of scope for the protection.
