commit 2b90e7ace79774a3540ce569e000388f8d22c9e0 upstream.

Currently, when validating the mokvar table, we (re)map the entire table
on each iteration of the loop, adding space as we discover new entries.
If the table grows over a certain size, this fails due to limitations of
early_memmap(), and we get a failure and traceback:

  mokvar: Failed to map EFI MOKvar config table pa=0x7c4c3000, size=265187.

Mapping the entire structure isn't actually necessary, as we don't ever
need more than one entry header mapped at once.

Changes efi_mokvar_table_init() to only map each entry header, not the
entire table, when determining the table size.  Since we're not mapping
any data past the variable name, it also changes the code to enforce
that each variable name is NUL terminated, rather than attempting to
verify it in place.

<title>efi: Avoid cold plugged memory for placing the kernel</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b09a25445293936e536d6d57ad3519e10b314dab</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ba69e0750b0362870294adab09339a0c39c3beaf upstream.

UEFI 2.11 introduced EFI_MEMORY_HOT_PLUGGABLE to annotate system memory
regions that are 'cold plugged' at boot, i.e., hot pluggable memory that
is available from early boot, and described as system RAM by the
firmware.

Existing loaders and EFI applications running in the boot context will
happily use this memory for allocating data structures that cannot be
freed or moved at runtime, and this prevents the memory from being
unplugged. Going forward, the new EFI_MEMORY_HOT_PLUGGABLE attribute
should be tested, and memory annotated as such should be avoided for
such allocations.

In the EFI stub, there are a couple of occurrences where, instead of the
high-level AllocatePages() UEFI boot service, a low-level code sequence
is used that traverses the EFI memory map and carves out the requested
number of pages from a free region. This is needed, e.g., for allocating
as low as possible, or for allocating pages at random.

While AllocatePages() should presumably avoid special purpose memory and
cold plugged regions, this manual approach needs to incorporate this
logic itself, in order to prevent the kernel itself from ending up in a
hot unpluggable region, preventing it from being unplugged.

So add the EFI_MEMORY_HOTPLUGGABLE macro definition, and check for it
where appropriate.

<title>efi: libstub: Use '-std=gnu11' to fix build with GCC 15</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 8ba14d9f490aef9fd535c04e9e62e1169eb7a055 upstream.

GCC 15 changed the default C standard version to C23, which should not
have impacted the kernel because it requests the gnu11 standard via
'-std=' in the main Makefile. However, the EFI libstub Makefile uses its
own set of KBUILD_CFLAGS for x86 without a '-std=' value (i.e., using
the default), resulting in errors from the kernel's definitions of bool,
true, and false in stddef.h, which are reserved keywords under C23.

  ./include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: error: expected identifier before ‘false’
     11 |         false   = 0,
  ./include/linux/types.h:35:33: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
     35 | typedef _Bool                   bool;

Set '-std=gnu11' in the x86 cflags to resolve the error and consistently
use the same C standard version for the entire kernel. All other
architectures reuse KBUILD_CFLAGS from the rest of the kernel, so this
issue is not visible for them.

[ Upstream commit 19fdc68aa7b90b1d3d600e873a3e050a39e7663d ]

A build with W=1 fails because there are code and data that are not
needed or used when CONFIG_EFI is not set. Move the "#ifdef CONFIG_EFI"
block to earlier in the source file so that the unused code/data are
not built.

<id>urn:sha1:0b2c29fb68f8bf3e87a9d88404aa6fdd486223e5</id>
<content type='text'>
For historical reasons, the legacy decompressor code on various
architectures supports 7 different compression types for the compressed
kernel image.

EFI zboot is not a compression library museum, and so the options can be
limited to what is likely to be useful in practice:

- GZIP is tried and tested, and is still one of the fastest at
  decompression time, although the compression ratio is not very high;
  moreover, Fedora is already shipping EFI zboot kernels for arm64 that
  use GZIP, and QEMU implements direct support for it when booting a
  kernel without firmware loaded;

- ZSTD has a very high compression ratio (although not the highest), and
  is almost as fast as GZIP at decompression time.

Reducing the number of options makes it less of a hassle for other
consumers of the EFI zboot format (such as QEMU today, and kexec in the
future) to support it transparently without having to carry 7 different
decompression libraries.

commit 33def8498fdd ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo)
to __section("foo")") and for the same reason, it is not desired for the

<content type='text'>
When we load SSDT from efi variable (specified with efivar_ssdt=&lt;var&gt;
boot command line argument) a name for the variable is allocated
dynamically because we traverse all EFI variables. Unlike ACPI table
data, which is later used by ACPI engine, the name is no longer needed
once traverse is complete -- don't forget to free this memory.

Same time we silently ignore any errors happened here let's print a
message if something went wrong (but do not exit since this is not a
critical error and the system should continue to boot).

Also while here -- add a note why we keep SSDT table on success.

When CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE or CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE are configured, the

Add the required handling of this when dealing with initrd= or dtb=
