[ Upstream commit c8e1927e7f7d63721e32ec41d27ccb0eb1a1b0fc ]
The function efi_load_initrd() had a documentation warning due to
the missing description for the 'out' parameter. Add the parameter
description to the kernel-doc comment to resolve the warning and
improve API documentation.
Fixes the following compiler warning:
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/efi-stub-helper.c:611: warning: Function parameter or struct member 'out' not described in 'efi_load_initrd'

commit cb16dfed0093217a68c0faa9394fa5823927e04c upstream.
Ben reports spurious EFI zboot failures on a system where physical RAM
starts at 0x0. When doing random memory allocation from the EFI stub on
such a platform, a random seed of 0x0 (which means no entropy source is
available) will result in the allocation to be placed at address 0x0 if
sufficient space is available.
When this allocation is subsequently passed on to the decompression
code, the 0x0 address is mistaken for NULL and the code complains and
gives up.
So avoid address 0x0 when doing random allocation, and set the minimum
address to the minimum alignment.

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.

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.

commit 77d48d39e99170b528e4f2e9fc5d1d64cdedd386 upstream.
The TPM event log table is a Linux specific construct, where the data
produced by the GetEventLog() boot service is cached in memory, and
passed on to the OS using an EFI configuration table.
The use of EFI_LOADER_DATA here results in the region being left
unreserved in the E820 memory map constructed by the EFI stub, and this
is the memory description that is passed on to the incoming kernel by
kexec, which is therefore unaware that the region should be reserved.
Even though the utility of the TPM2 event log after a kexec is
questionable, any corruption might send the parsing code off into the
weeds and crash the kernel. So let's use EFI_ACPI_RECLAIM_MEMORY
instead, which is always treated as reserved by the E820 conversion
logic.

[ Upstream commit 5134acb15d9ef27aa2b90aad46d4e89fcef79fdc ]
When building ARCH=loongarch defconfig + CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y using
LLVM, there is a warning from ld.lld when linking the EFI zboot image
due to the use of unreachable() in number() in vsprintf.c:
ld.lld: warning: drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib.a(vsprintf.stub.o):(.discard.unreachable+0x0): has non-ABS relocation R_LARCH_32_PCREL against symbol ''
If the compiler cannot eliminate the default case for any reason, the
.discard.unreachable section will remain in the final binary but the
entire point of any section prefixed with .discard is that it is only
used at compile time, so it can be discarded via /DISCARD/ in a linker
script. The asm-generic vmlinux.lds.h includes .discard and .discard.*
in the COMMON_DISCARDS macro but that is not used for zboot.lds, as it
is not a kernel image linker script.
Add .discard and .discard.* to /DISCARD/ in zboot.lds, so that any
sections meant to be discarded at link time are not included in the
final zboot image. This issue is not specific to LoongArch, it is just
the first architecture to select CONFIG_OBJTOOL, which defines
annotate_unreachable() as an asm statement to add the
.discard.unreachable section, and use the EFI stub.

commit 15aa8fb852f995dd234a57f12dfb989044968bb6 upstream.
The legacy decompressor has elaborate logic to ensure that the
randomized physical placement of the decompressed kernel image does not
conflict with any memory reservations, including ones specified on the
command line using mem=, memmap=, efi_fake_mem= or hugepages=, which are
taken into account by the kernel proper at a later stage.
When booting in EFI mode, it is the firmware's job to ensure that the
chosen range does not conflict with any memory reservations that it
knows about, and this is trivially achieved by using the firmware's
memory allocation APIs.
That leaves reservations specified on the command line, though, which
the firmware knows nothing about, as these regions have no other special
significance to the platform. Since commit
a1b87d54f4e4 ("x86/efistub: Avoid legacy decompressor when doing EFI boot")
these reservations are not taken into account when randomizing the
physical placement, which may result in conflicts where the memory
cannot be reserved by the kernel proper because its own executable image
resides there.
To avoid having to duplicate or reuse the existing complicated logic,
disable physical KASLR entirely when such overrides are specified. These
are mostly diagnostic tools or niche features, and physical KASLR (as
opposed to virtual KASLR, which is much more important as it affects the
memory addresses observed by code executing in the kernel) is something
we can live without.

[ Commit 9c55461040a9264b7e44444c53d26480b438eda6 upstream ]
Currently, the EFI stub invokes the EFI memory attributes protocol to
strip any NX restrictions from the entire loaded kernel, resulting in
all code and data being mapped read-write-execute.
The point of the EFI memory attributes protocol is to remove the need
for all memory allocations to be mapped with both write and execute
permissions by default, and make it the OS loader's responsibility to
transition data mappings to code mappings where appropriate.
Even though the UEFI specification does not appear to leave room for
denying memory attribute changes based on security policy, let's be
cautious and avoid relying on the ability to create read-write-execute
mappings. This is trivially achievable, given that the amount of kernel
code executing via the firmware's 1:1 mapping is rather small and
limited to the .head.text region. So let's drop the NX restrictions only
on that subregion, but not before remapping it as read-only first.

[ Commit decd347c2a75d32984beb8807d470b763a53b542 upstream ]
Commit
8117961d98fb2 ("x86/efi: Disregard setup header of loaded image")
dropped the memcopy of the image's setup header into the boot_params
struct provided to the core kernel, on the basis that EFI boot does not
need it and should rely only on a single protocol to interface with the
boot chain. It is also a prerequisite for being able to increase the
section alignment to 4k, which is needed to enable memory protections
when running in the boot services.
So only the setup_header fields that matter to the core kernel are
populated explicitly, and everything else is ignored. One thing was
overlooked, though: the initrd_addr_max field in the setup_header is not
used by the core kernel, but it is used by the EFI stub itself when it
loads the initrd, where its default value of INT_MAX is used as the soft
limit for memory allocation.
This means that, in the old situation, the initrd was virtually always
loaded in the lower 2G of memory, but now, due to initrd_addr_max being
0x0, the initrd may end up anywhere in memory. This should not be an
issue principle, as most systems can deal with this fine. However, it
does appear to tickle some problems in older UEFI implementations, where
the memory ends up being corrupted, resulting in errors when unpacking
the initramfs.
So set the initrd_addr_max field to INT_MAX like it was before.

[ Commit 7e50262229faad0c7b8c54477cd1c883f31cc4a7 upstream ]
The native EFI entrypoint does not take a struct boot_params from the
loader, but instead, it constructs one from scratch, using the setup
header data placed at the start of the image.
This setup header is placed in a way that permits legacy loaders to
manipulate the contents (i.e., to pass the kernel command line or the
address and size of an initial ramdisk), but EFI boot does not use it in
that way - it only copies the contents that were placed there at build
time, but EFI loaders will not (and should not) manipulate the setup
header to configure the boot. (Commit 63bf28ceb3ebbe76 "efi: x86: Wipe
setup_data on pure EFI boot" deals with some of the fallout of using
setup_data in a way that breaks EFI boot.)
Given that none of the non-zero values that are copied from the setup
header into the EFI stub's struct boot_params are relevant to the boot
now that the EFI stub no longer enters via the legacy decompressor, the
copy can be omitted altogether.

[ Upstream commit 3cb4a4827596abc82e55b80364f509d0fefc3051 ]
Following warning is sometimes observed while booting my servers:
[ 3.594838] DMA: preallocated 4096 KiB GFP_KERNEL pool for atomic allocations
[ 3.602918] swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1
...
[ 3.851862] DMA: preallocated 1024 KiB GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA pool for atomic allocation
If 'nokaslr' boot option is set, the warning always happens.
On x86, ZONE_DMA is small zone at the first 16MB of physical address
space. When this problem happens, most of that space seems to be used by
decompressed kernel. Thereby, there is not enough space at DMA_ZONE to
meet the request of DMA pool allocation.
The commit 2f77465b05b1 ("x86/efistub: Avoid placing the kernel below
LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR") tried to fix this problem by introducing lower
bound of allocation.
But the fix is not complete.
efi_random_alloc() allocates pages by following steps.
1. Count total available slots ('total_slots')
2. Select a slot ('target_slot') to allocate randomly
3. Calculate a starting address ('target') to be included target_slot
4. Allocate pages, which starting address is 'target'
In step 1, 'alloc_min' is used to offset the starting address of memory
chunk. But in step 3 'alloc_min' is not considered at all. As the
result, 'target' can be miscalculated and become lower than 'alloc_min'.
When KASLR is disabled, 'target_slot' is always 0 and the problem
happens everytime if the EFI memory map of the system meets the
condition.
Fix this problem by calculating 'target' considering 'alloc_min'.

[ Upstream commit df7ecce842b846a04d087ba85fdb79a90e26a1b0 ]
Clearing BSS should only be done once, at the very beginning.
efi_pe_entry() is the entrypoint from the firmware, which may not clear
BSS and so it is done explicitly. However, efi_pe_entry() is also used
as an entrypoint by the mixed mode startup code, in which case BSS will
already have been cleared, and doing it again at this point will corrupt
global variables holding the firmware's GDT/IDT and segment selectors.
So make the memset() conditional on whether the EFI stub is running in
native mode.

[ Upstream commit b3810c5a2cc4a6665f7a65bed5393c75ce3f3aa2 ]
The EFI stub on x86 no longer invokes the decompressor as a subsequent
boot stage, but calls into the decompression code directly while running
in the context of the EFI boot services.
This means that when using the native EFI entrypoint (as opposed to the
EFI handover protocol, which clears BSS explicitly), the firmware PE
image loader is being relied upon to ensure that BSS is zeroed before
the EFI stub is entered from the firmware.
As Radek's report proves, this is a bad idea. Not all loaders do this
correctly, which means some global variables that should be statically
initialized to 0x0 may have junk in them.
So clear BSS explicitly when entering via efi_pe_entry(). Note that
zeroing BSS from C code is not generally safe, but in this case, the
following assignment and dereference of a global pointer variable
ensures that the memset() cannot be deferred or reordered.

commit a7a6a01f88e87dec4bf2365571dd2dc7403d52d0 upstream.
The recently introduced EFI memory attributes protocol should be used
if it exists to ensure that the memory allocation created for the kernel
permits execution. This is needed for compatibility with tightened
requirements related to Windows logo certification for x86 PCs.
Currently, we simply strip the execute protect (XP) attribute from the
entire range, but this might be rejected under some firmware security
policies, and so in a subsequent patch, this will be changed to only
strip XP from the executable region that runs early, and make it
read-only (RO) as well.
In order to catch any issues early, ensure that the memory attribute
protocol works as intended, and give up if it produces spurious errors.
Note that the DXE services based fallback was always based on best
effort, so don't propagate any errors returned by that API.

[ Commit 2f77465b05b1270c832b5e2ee27037672ad2a10a upstream ]
The EFI stub's kernel placement logic randomizes the physical placement
of the kernel by taking all available memory into account, and picking a
region at random, based on a random seed.
When KASLR is disabled, this seed is set to 0x0, and this results in the
lowest available region of memory to be selected for loading the kernel,
even if this is below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR. Some of this memory is
typically reserved for the GFP_DMA region, to accommodate masters that
can only access the first 16 MiB of system memory.
Even if such devices are rare these days, we may still end up with a
warning in the kernel log, as reported by Tom:
swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0
Fix this by tweaking the random allocation logic to accept a low bound
on the placement, and set it to LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR.

River reports boot hangs with v6.6 and v6.7, and the bisect points to
commit
a1b87d54f4e4 ("x86/efistub: Avoid legacy decompressor when doing EFI boot")
which moves the memory allocation and kernel decompression from the
legacy decompressor (which executes *after* ExitBootServices()) to the
EFI stub, using boot services for allocating the memory. The memory
allocation succeeds but the subsequent call to decompress_kernel() never
returns, resulting in a failed boot and a hanging system.
As it turns out, this issue only occurs when physical address
randomization (KASLR) is enabled, and given that this is a feature we
can live without (virtual KASLR is much more important), let's disable
the physical part of KASLR when booting on AMI UEFI firmware claiming to
implement revision v2.0 of the specification (which was released in
2006), as this is the version these systems advertise.

[ Commit a1b87d54f4e45ff5e0d081fb1d9db3bf1a8fb39a upstream ]
The bare metal decompressor code was never really intended to run in a
hosted environment such as the EFI boot services, and does a few things
that are becoming problematic in the context of EFI boot now that the
logo requirements are getting tighter: EFI executables will no longer be
allowed to consist of a single executable section that is mapped with
read, write and execute permissions if they are intended for use in a
context where Secure Boot is enabled (and where Microsoft's set of
certificates is used, i.e., every x86 PC built to run Windows).
To avoid stepping on reserved memory before having inspected the E820
tables, and to ensure the correct placement when running a kernel build
that is non-relocatable, the bare metal decompressor moves its own
executable image to the end of the allocation that was reserved for it,
in order to perform the decompression in place. This means the region in
question requires both write and execute permissions, which either need
to be given upfront (which EFI will no longer permit), or need to be
applied on demand using the existing page fault handling framework.
However, the physical placement of the kernel is usually randomized
anyway, and even if it isn't, a dedicated decompression output buffer
can be allocated anywhere in memory using EFI APIs when still running in
the boot services, given that EFI support already implies a relocatable
kernel. This means that decompression in place is never necessary, nor
is moving the compressed image from one end to the other.
Since EFI already maps all of memory 1:1, it is also unnecessary to
create new page tables or handle page faults when decompressing the
kernel. That means there is also no need to replace the special
exception handlers for SEV. Generally, there is little need to do
any of the things that the decompressor does beyond
- initialize SEV encryption, if needed,
- perform the 4/5 level paging switch, if needed,
- decompress the kernel
- relocate the kernel
So do all of this from the EFI stub code, and avoid the bare metal
decompressor altogether.

Before refactoring the EFI stub boot flow to avoid the legacy bare metal
decompressor, duplicate the SNP feature check in the EFI stub before
handing over to the kernel proper.
The SNP feature check can be performed while running under the EFI boot
services, which means it can force the boot to fail gracefully and
return an error to the bootloader if the loaded kernel does not
implement support for all the features that the hypervisor enabled.

Currently, the EFI stub relies on DXE services in some cases to clear
non-execute restrictions from page allocations that need to be
executable. This is dodgy, because DXE services are not specified by
UEFI but by PI, and they are not intended for consumption by OS loaders.
However, no alternative existed at the time.
Now, there is a new UEFI protocol that should be used instead, so if it
exists, prefer it over the DXE services calls.

In preparation for updating the EFI stub boot flow to avoid the bare
metal decompressor code altogether, implement the support code for
switching between 4 and 5 levels of paging before jumping to the kernel
proper.
This reuses the newly refactored trampoline that the bare metal
decompressor uses, but relies on EFI APIs to allocate 32-bit addressable
memory and remap it with the appropriate permissions. Given that the
bare metal decompressor will no longer call into the trampoline if the
number of paging levels is already set correctly, it is no longer needed
to remove NX restrictions from the memory range where this trampoline
may end up.

[ Commit d7156b986d4cc0657fa6dc05c9fcf51c3d55a0fe upstream ]
The so-called EFI handover protocol is value-add from the distros that
permits a loader to simply copy a PE kernel image into memory and call
an alternative entrypoint that is described by an embedded boot_params
structure.
Most implementations of this protocol do not bother to check the PE
header for minimum alignment, section placement, etc, and therefore also
don't clear the image's BSS, or even allocate enough memory for it.
Allocating more memory on the fly is rather difficult, but at least
clear the BSS region explicitly when entering in this manner, so that
the EFI stub code does not get confused by global variables that were
not zero-initialized correctly.
When booting in mixed mode, this BSS clearing must occur before any
global state is created, so clear it in the 32-bit asm entry point.

Now that the EFI entry code in assembler is only used by the optional
and deprecated EFI handover protocol, and given that the EFI stub C code
no longer returns to it, most of it can simply be dropped.
While at it, clarify the symbol naming, by merging efi_main() and
efi_stub_entry(), making the latter the shared entry point for all
different boot modes that enter via the EFI stub.
The efi32_stub_entry() and efi64_stub_entry() names are referenced
explicitly by the tooling that populates the setup header, so these must
be retained, but can be emitted as aliases of efi_stub_entry() where
appropriate.

The UEFI spec does not mention or reason about the configured size of
the virtual address space at all, but it does mention that all memory
should be identity mapped using a page size of 4 KiB.
This means that a LPA2 capable system that has any system memory outside
of the 48-bit addressable physical range and follows the spec to the
letter may serve page allocation requests from regions of memory that
the kernel cannot access unless it was built with LPA2 support and
enables it at runtime.
So let's ensure that all page allocations are limited to the 48-bit
range.

commit 4b52016247aeaa55ca3e3bc2e03cd91114c145c2 upstream.
There is no need for head_32.S and head_64.S both declaring a copy of
the global 'image_offset' variable, so drop those and make the extern C
declaration the definition.
When image_offset is moved to the .c file, it needs to be placed
particularly in the .data section because it lands by default in the
.bss section which is cleared too late, in .Lrelocated, before the first
access to it and thus garbage gets read, leading to SEV guests exploding
in early boot.
This happens only when the SEV guest kernel is loaded through grub. If
supplied with qemu's -kernel command line option, that memory is always
cleared upfront by qemu and all is fine there.

The EFI spec is not very clear about which permissions are being given
when allocating pages of a certain type. However, it is quite obvious
that EFI_LOADER_CODE is more likely to permit execution than
EFI_LOADER_DATA, which becomes relevant once we permit booting the
kernel proper with the firmware's 1:1 mapping still active.
Ostensibly, recent systems such as the Surface Pro X grant executable
permissions to EFI_LOADER_CODE regions but not EFI_LOADER_DATA regions.

[ Upstream commit 2e28a798c3092ea42b968fa16ac835969d124898 ]
Currently, the EFI stub will disable PCI DMA as the very last thing it
does before calling ExitBootServices(), to avoid interfering with the
firmware's normal operation as much as possible.
However, the stub will invoke DisconnectController() on all endpoints
downstream of the PCI bridges it disables, and this may affect the
layout of the EFI memory map, making it substantially more likely that
ExitBootServices() will fail the first time around, and that the EFI
memory map needs to be reloaded.
This, in turn, increases the likelihood that the slack space we
allocated is insufficient (and we can no longer allocate memory via boot
services after having called ExitBootServices() once), causing the
second call to GetMemoryMap (and therefore the boot) to fail. This makes
the PCI DMA disable feature a bit more fragile than it already is, so
let's make it more robust, by allocating the space for the EFI memory
map after disabling PCI DMA.

commit 196dff2712ca5a2e651977bb2fe6b05474111a83 upstream.
Instead of blindly creating the EFI random seed configuration table if
the RNG protocol is implemented and works, check whether such a EFI
configuration table was provided by an earlier boot stage and if so,
concatenate the existing and the new seeds, leaving it up to the core
code to mix it in and credit it the way it sees fit.
This can be used for, e.g., systemd-boot, to pass an additional seed to
Linux in a way that can be consumed by the kernel very early. In that
case, the following definitions should be used to pass the seed to the
EFI stub:
struct linux_efi_random_seed {
u32 size; // of the 'seed' array in bytes
u8 seed[];
};
The memory for the struct must be allocated as EFI_ACPI_RECLAIM_MEMORY
pool memory, and the address of the struct in memory should be installed
as a EFI configuration table using the following GUID:
LINUX_EFI_RANDOM_SEED_TABLE_GUID 1ce1e5bc-7ceb-42f2-81e5-8aadf180f57b
Note that doing so is safe even on kernels that were built without this
patch applied, but the seed will simply be overwritten with a seed
derived from the EFI RNG protocol, if available. The recommended seed
size is 32 bytes, and seeds larger than 512 bytes are considered
corrupted and ignored entirely.
In order to preserve forward secrecy, seeds from previous bootloaders
are memzero'd out, and in order to preserve memory, those older seeds
are also freed from memory. Freeing from memory without first memzeroing
is not safe to do, as it's possible that nothing else will ever
overwrite those pages used by EFI.

Ampere Altra machines are reported to misbehave when the SetTime() EFI
runtime service is called after ExitBootServices() but before calling
SetVirtualAddressMap(). Given that the latter is horrid, pointless and
explicitly documented as optional by the EFI spec, we no longer invoke
it at boot if the configured size of the VA space guarantees that the
EFI runtime memory regions can remain mapped 1:1 like they are at boot
time.
On Ampere Altra machines, this results in SetTime() calls issued by the
rtc-efi driver triggering synchronous exceptions during boot. We can
now recover from those without bringing down the system entirely, due to
commit 23715a26c8d81291 ("arm64: efi: Recover from synchronous
exceptions occurring in firmware"). However, it would be better to avoid
the issue entirely, given that the firmware appears to remain in a funny
state after this.
So attempt to identify these machines based on the 'family' field in the
type #1 SMBIOS record, and call SetVirtualAddressMap() unconditionally
in that case.

EFI runtime services data is guaranteed to be preserved by the OS,
making it a suitable candidate for the EFI random seed table, which may
be passed to kexec kernels as well (after refreshing the seed), and so
we need to ensure that the memory is preserved without support from the
OS itself.
However, runtime services data is intended for allocations that are
relevant to the implementations of the runtime services themselves, and
so they are unmapped from the kernel linear map, and mapped into the EFI
page tables that are active while runtime service invocations are in
progress. None of this is needed for the RNG seed.
So let's switch to EFI 'ACPI reclaim' memory: in spite of the name,
there is nothing exclusively ACPI about it, it is simply a type of
allocation that carries firmware provided data which may or may not be
relevant to the OS, and it is left up to the OS to decide whether to
reclaim it after having consumed its contents.
Given that in Linux, we never reclaim these allocations, it is a good
choice for the EFI RNG seed, as the allocation is guaranteed to survive
kexec reboots.
One additional reason for changing this now is to align it with the
upcoming recommendation for EFI bootloader provided RNG seeds, which
must not use EFI runtime services code/data allocations.

The generic EFI stub can be instructed to avoid SetVirtualAddressMap(),
and simply run with the firmware's 1:1 mapping. In this case, it
populates the virtual address fields of the runtime regions in the
memory map with the physical address of each region, so that the mapping
code has to be none the wiser. Only if SetVirtualAddressMap() fails, the
virtual addresses are wiped and the kernel code knows that the regions
cannot be mapped.
However, wiping amounts to setting it to zero, and if a runtime region
happens to live at physical address 0, its valid 1:1 mapped virtual
address could be mistaken for a wiped field, resulting on loss of access
to the EFI services at runtime.
So let's only assume that VA == 0 means 'no runtime services' if the
region in question does not live at PA 0x0.

The zboot decompressor series introduced a feature to sign the PE/COFF
kernel image for secure boot as part of the kernel build. This was
necessary because there are actually two images that need to be signed:
the kernel with the EFI stub attached, and the decompressor application.
This is a bit of a burden, because it means that the images must be
signed on the the same system that performs the build, and this is not
realistic for distros.
During the next cycle, we will introduce changes to the zboot code so
that the inner image no longer needs to be signed. This means that the
outer PE/COFF image can be handled as usual, and be signed later in the
release process.
Let's remove the associated Kconfig options now so that they don't end
up in a LTS release while already being deprecated.

Pull EFI updates from Ard Biesheuvel:
"A bit more going on than usual in the EFI subsystem. The main driver
for this has been the introduction of the LoonArch architecture last
cycle, which inspired some cleanup and refactoring of the EFI code.
Another driver for EFI changes this cycle and in the future is
confidential compute.
The LoongArch architecture does not use either struct bootparams or DT
natively [yet], and so passing information between the EFI stub and
the core kernel using either of those is undesirable. And in general,
overloading DT has been a source of issues on arm64, so using DT for
this on new architectures is a to avoid for the time being (even if we
might converge on something DT based for non-x86 architectures in the
future). For this reason, in addition to the patch that enables EFI
boot for LoongArch, there are a number of refactoring patches applied
on top of which separate the DT bits from the generic EFI stub bits.
These changes are on a separate topich branch that has been shared
with the LoongArch maintainers, who will include it in their pull
request as well. This is not ideal, but the best way to manage the
conflicts without stalling LoongArch for another cycle.
Another development inspired by LoongArch is the newly added support
for EFI based decompressors. Instead of adding yet another
arch-specific incarnation of this pattern for LoongArch, we are
introducing an EFI app based on the existing EFI libstub
infrastructure that encapulates the decompression code we use on other
architectures, but in a way that is fully generic. This has been
developed and tested in collaboration with distro and systemd folks,
who are eager to start using this for systemd-boot and also for arm64
secure boot on Fedora. Note that the EFI zimage files this introduces
can also be decompressed by non-EFI bootloaders if needed, as the
image header describes the location of the payload inside the image,
and the type of compression that was used. (Note that Fedora's arm64
GRUB is buggy [0] so you'll need a recent version or switch to
systemd-boot in order to use this.)
Finally, we are adding TPM measurement of the kernel command line
provided by EFI. There is an oversight in the TCG spec which results
in a blind spot for command line arguments passed to loaded images,
which means that either the loader or the stub needs to take the
measurement. Given the combinatorial explosion I am anticipating when
it comes to firmware/bootloader stacks and firmware based attestation
protocols (SEV-SNP, TDX, DICE, DRTM), it is good to set a baseline now
when it comes to EFI measured boot, which is that the kernel measures
the initrd and command line. Intermediate loaders can measure
additional assets if needed, but with the baseline in place, we can
deploy measured boot in a meaningful way even if you boot into Linux
straight from the EFI firmware.
Summary:
- implement EFI boot support for LoongArch
- implement generic EFI compressed boot support for arm64, RISC-V and
LoongArch, none of which implement a decompressor today
- measure the kernel command line into the TPM if measured boot is in
effect
- refactor the EFI stub code in order to isolate DT dependencies for
architectures other than x86
- avoid calling SetVirtualAddressMap() on arm64 if the configured
size of the VA space guarantees that doing so is unnecessary
- move some ARM specific code out of the generic EFI source files
- unmap kernel code from the x86 mixed mode 1:1 page tables"
