uuid_le_to_bin() is deprecated API and take into consideration that variable,
to where we store parsed data, is type of guid_t we switch to guid_parse()
for sake of consistency.
While here, add error checking to it.

Each read from a file in efivarfs results in two calls to EFI
(one to get the file size, another to get the actual data).
On X86 these EFI calls result in broadcast system management
interrupts (SMI) which affect performance of the whole system.
A malicious user can loop performing reads from efivarfs bringing
the system to its knees.
Linus suggested per-user rate limit to solve this.
So we add a ratelimit structure to "user_struct" and initialize
it for the root user for no limit. When allocating user_struct for
other users we set the limit to 100 per second. This could be used
for other places that want to limit the rate of some detrimental
user action.
In efivarfs if the limit is exceeded when reading, we take an
interruptible nap for 50ms and check the rate limit again.

Kill off s_options, save/replace_mount_options() and generic_show_options()
as all filesystems now implement ->show_options() for themselves. This
should make it easier to implement a context-based mount where the mount
options can be passed individually over a file descriptor.

CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
Use current_time() instead.
CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.
This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.
Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
share the same time granularity.

Julia reported that we may double free 'name' in efivarfs_callback(),
and that this bug was introduced by commit 0d22f33bc37c ("efi: Don't
use spinlocks for efi vars").
Move one of the kfree()s until after the point at which we know we are
definitely on the success path.

All efivars operations are protected by a spinlock which prevents
interruptions and preemption. This is too restricted, we just need a
lock preventing concurrency.
The idea is to use a semaphore of count 1 and to have two ways of
locking, depending on the context:
- In interrupt context, we call down_trylock(), if it fails we return
an error
- In normal context, we call down_interruptible()
We don't use a mutex here because the mutex_trylock() function must not
be called from interrupt context, whereas the down_trylock() can.

We always mixed in the parent pointer into the dentry name hash, but we
did it late at lookup time. It turns out that we can simplify that
lookup-time action by salting the hash with the parent pointer early
instead of late.
A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own
pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism.
Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the
NULL pointer as a no-salt.

The parameters atomic and duplicates of efivar_init always have opposite
values. Drop the parameter atomic, replace the uses of !atomic with
duplicates, and update the call sites accordingly.
The code using duplicates is slightly reorganized with an 'else', to avoid

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.
These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.
We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

as "such as filesystems that came from other operating systems".
In reality, it is a pseudo filesystem, providing access to the kernel
UEFI variable interface.

the legacy efivars interface, also build it by default as a module if

A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode -

Previously in 1fa7e69 efi_status_to_err() translated firmware status
EFI_NOT_FOUND to -EIO instead of -ENOENT for efivarfs operations to
avoid confusion. After refactoring in e14ab23, it is also used in other
places where the translation may be unnecessary.
So move the translation to efivarfs specific code. Also return EOF

This registers /sys/firmware/efi/{,systab,efivars/} whenever EFI is enabled
and the system is booted with EFI.
This allows

to determine whether or it is running on an EFI system.
*) 'mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars' without manually
loading any modules.
[ Also, move the efivar API into vars.c and unconditionally compile it.
This allows us to move efivars.c, which now only contains the sysfs
variable code, into the firmware/efi directory. Note that the efivars.c
filename is kept to maintain backwards compatability with the old
efivars.ko module. With this patch it is now possible for efivarfs

Now that efivarfs uses the efivar API, move it out of efivars.c and
into fs/efivarfs where it belongs. This move will eventually allow us
to enable the efivarfs code without having to also enable
CONFIG_EFI_VARS built, and vice versa.
Furthermore, things like,
mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
will now work if efivarfs is built as a module without requiring the
use of MODULE_ALIAS(), which would have been necessary when the
efivarfs code was part of efivars.c.
