Merge tag 'efi-next-for-v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi
Pull EFI updates from Ard Biesheuvel: "Another fairly sizable pull request, by EFI subsystem standards. Most of the work was done by me, some of it in collaboration with the distro and bootloader folks (GRUB, systemd-boot), where the main focus has been on removing pointless per-arch differences in the way EFI boots a Linux kernel. - Refactor the zboot code so that it incorporates all the EFI stub logic, rather than calling the decompressed kernel as a EFI app. - Add support for initrd= command line option to x86 mixed mode. - Allow initrd= to be used with arbitrary EFI accessible file systems instead of just the one the kernel itself was loaded from. - Move some x86-only handling and manipulation of the EFI memory map into arch/x86, as it is not used anywhere else. - More flexible handling of any random seeds provided by the boot environment (i.e., systemd-boot) so that it becomes available much earlier during the boot. - Allow improved arch-agnostic EFI support in loaders, by setting a uniform baseline of supported features, and adding a generic magic number to the DOS/PE header. This should allow loaders such as GRUB or systemd-boot to reduce the amount of arch-specific handling substantially. - (arm64) Run EFI runtime services from a dedicated stack, and use it to recover from synchronous exceptions that might occur in the firmware code. - (arm64) Ensure that we don't allocate memory outside of the 48-bit addressable physical range. - Make EFI pstore record size configurable - Add support for decoding CXL specific CPER records" * tag 'efi-next-for-v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi: (43 commits) arm64: efi: Recover from synchronous exceptions occurring in firmware arm64: efi: Execute runtime services from a dedicated stack arm64: efi: Limit allocations to 48-bit addressable physical region efi: Put Linux specific magic number in the DOS header efi: libstub: Always enable initrd command line loader and bump version efi: stub: use random seed from EFI variable efi: vars: prohibit reading random seed variables efi: random: combine bootloader provided RNG seed with RNG protocol output efi/cper, cxl: Decode CXL Error Log efi/cper, cxl: Decode CXL Protocol Error Section efi: libstub: fix efi_load_initrd_dev_path() kernel-doc comment efi: x86: Move EFI runtime map sysfs code to arch/x86 efi: runtime-maps: Clarify purpose and enable by default for kexec efi: pstore: Add module parameter for setting the record size efi: xen: Set EFI_PARAVIRT for Xen dom0 boot on all architectures efi: memmap: Move manipulation routines into x86 arch tree efi: memmap: Move EFI fake memmap support into x86 arch tree efi: libstub: Undeprecate the command line initrd loader efi: libstub: Add mixed mode support to command line initrd loader efi: libstub: Permit mixed mode return types other than efi_status_t ...
