Before commit
d0f9ca9be11f25ef ("ARM: decompressor: run decompressor in place if loaded via UEFI")
we were rather limited in the choice of base address for the uncompressed
kernel, as we were relying on the logic in the decompressor that blindly
rounds down the decompressor execution address to the next multiple of 128
MiB, and decompresses the kernel there. For this reason, we have a lot of
complicated memory region handling code, to ensure that this memory window
is available, even though it could be occupied by reserved regions or
other allocations that may or may not collide with the uncompressed image.
Today, we simply pass the target address for the decompressed image to the
decompressor directly, and so we can choose a suitable window just by
finding a 16 MiB aligned region, while taking TEXT_OFFSET and the region
for the swapper page tables into account.
So let's get rid of the complicated logic, and instead, use the existing
bottom up allocation routine to allocate a suitable window as low as
possible, and carve out a memory region that has the right properties.
Note that this removes any dependencies on the 'dram_base' argument to
handle_kernel_image(), and so this is removed as well. Given that this
was the only remaining use of dram_base, the code that produces it is
removed entirely as well.

The way we use the base of DRAM in the EFI stub is problematic as it
is ill defined what the base of DRAM actually means. There are some
restrictions on the placement of FDT and initrd which are defined in
terms of dram_base, but given that the placement of the kernel in
memory is what defines these boundaries (as on ARM, this is where the
linear region starts), it is better to use the image address in these
cases, and disregard dram_base altogether.

On 32-bit ARM, we may boot at HYP mode, or with the MMU and caches off
(or both), even though the EFI spec does not actually support this.
While booting at HYP mode is something we might tolerate, fiddling
with the caches is a more serious issue, as disabling the caches is
tricky to do safely from C code, and running without the Dcache makes
it impossible to support unaligned memory accesses, which is another
explicit requirement imposed by the EFI spec.
So take note of the CPU mode and MMU state in the EFI stub diagnostic
output so that we can easily diagnose any issues that may arise from
this. E.g.,
EFI stub: Entering in SVC mode with MMU enabled
Also, capture the CPSR and SCTLR system register values at EFI stub
entry, and after ExitBootServices() returns, and check whether the
MMU and Dcache were disabled at any point. If this is the case, a
diagnostic message like the following will be emitted:
efi: [Firmware Bug]: EFI stub was entered with MMU and Dcache disabled, please fix your firmware!
efi: CPSR at EFI stub entry : 0x600001d3
efi: SCTLR at EFI stub entry : 0x00c51838
efi: CPSR after ExitBootServices() : 0x600001d3
efi: SCTLR after ExitBootServices(): 0x00c50838

The decompressor can load from anywhere in memory, and the only reason
the EFI stub code relocates it is to ensure it appears within the first
128 MiB of memory, so that the uncompressed kernel ends up at the right
offset in memory.
We can short circuit this, and simply jump into the decompressor startup
code at the point where it knows where the base of memory lives. This
also means there is no need to disable the MMU and caches, create new
page tables and re-enable them.

Expose efi_entry() as the PE/COFF entrypoint directly, instead of
jumping into a wrapper that fiddles with stack buffers and other
stuff that the compiler is much better at. The only reason this
code exists is to obtain a pointer to the base of the image, but
we can get the same value from the loaded_image protocol, which
we already need for other reasons anyway.
Update the return type as well, to make it consistent with what
is required for a PE/COFF executable entrypoint.

The macros efi_call_early and efi_call_runtime are used to call EFI
boot services and runtime services, respectively. However, the naming
is confusing, given that the early vs runtime distinction may suggest
that these are used for calling the same set of services either early
or late (== at runtime), while in reality, the sets of services they
can be used with are completely disjoint, and efi_call_runtime is also
only usable in 'early' code.
So do a global sweep to replace all occurrences with efi_bs_call or
efi_rt_call, respectively, where BS and RT match the idiom used by
the UEFI spec to refer to boot time or runtime services.
While at it, use 'func' as the macro parameter name for the function
pointers, which is less likely to collide and cause weird build errors.

UEFI 2.8 defines an EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute bit to augment the
interpretation of the EFI Memory Types as "reserved for a specific
purpose".
The proposed Linux behavior for specific purpose memory is that it is
reserved for direct-access (device-dax) by default and not available for
any kernel usage, not even as an OOM fallback. Later, through udev
scripts or another init mechanism, these device-dax claimed ranges can
be reconfigured and hot-added to the available System-RAM with a unique
node identifier. This device-dax management scheme implements "soft" in
the "soft reserved" designation by allowing some or all of the
reservation to be recovered as typical memory. This policy can be
disabled at compile-time with CONFIG_EFI_SOFT_RESERVE=n, or runtime with
efi=nosoftreserve.
For this patch, update the ARM paths that consider
EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY to optionally take the EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute
into account as a reservation indicator. Publish the soft reservation as
IORES_DESC_SOFT_RESERVED memory, similar to x86.

Currently, kernel fails to boot on some HyperV VMs when using EFI.
And it's a potential issue on all x86 platforms.
It's caused by broken kernel relocation on EFI systems, when below three
conditions are met:
1. Kernel image is not loaded to the default address (LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR)
by the loader.
2. There isn't enough room to contain the kernel, starting from the
default load address (eg. something else occupied part the region).
3. In the memmap provided by EFI firmware, there is a memory region
starts below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR, and suitable for containing the
kernel.
EFI stub will perform a kernel relocation when condition 1 is met. But
due to condition 2, EFI stub can't relocate kernel to the preferred
address, so it fallback to ask EFI firmware to alloc lowest usable memory
region, got the low region mentioned in condition 3, and relocated
kernel there.
It's incorrect to relocate the kernel below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR. This
is the lowest acceptable kernel relocation address.
The first thing goes wrong is in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_64.S.
Kernel decompression will force use LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR as the output
address if kernel is located below it. Then the relocation before
decompression, which move kernel to the end of the decompression buffer,
will overwrite other memory region, as there is no enough memory there.
To fix it, just don't let EFI stub relocate the kernel to any address
lower than lowest acceptable address.

The EFI stubloader for ARM starts out by allocating a 32 MB window
at the base of RAM, in order to ensure that the decompressor (which
blindly copies the uncompressed kernel into that window) does not
overwrite other allocations that are made while running in the context
of the EFI firmware.
In some cases, (e.g., U-Boot running on the Raspberry Pi 2), this is
causing boot failures because this initial allocation conflicts with
a page of reserved memory at the base of RAM that contains the SMP spin
tables and other pieces of firmware data and which was put there by
the bootloader under the assumption that the TEXT_OFFSET window right
below the kernel is only used partially during early boot, and will be
left alone once the memory reservations are processed and taken into
account.
So let's permit reserved memory regions to exist in the region starting
at the base of RAM, and ending at TEXT_OFFSET - 5 * PAGE_SIZE, which is
the window below the kernel that is not touched by the early boot code.

The EFI stub currently prints a number of diagnostic messages that do
not carry a lot of information. Since these prints are not controlled
by 'loglevel' or other command line parameters, and since they appear on
the EFI framebuffer as well (if enabled), it would be nice if we could
turn them off.
So let's add support for the 'quiet' command line parameter in the stub,
and disable the non-error prints if it is passed.

The arm32 kernel decompresses itself to the base of DRAM unconditionally,
and so it is the EFI stub's job to ensure that the region is available.
Currently, we do this by creating an allocation there, and giving up if
that fails. However, any boot services regions occupying this area are
not an issue, given that the decompressor executes strictly after the
stub calls ExitBootServices().
So let's try a bit harder to proceed if the initial allocation fails,
and check whether any memory map entries occupying the region may be
considered safe.

This patch adds EFI stub support for the ARM Linux kernel.
The EFI stub operates similarly to the x86 and arm64 stubs: it is a
shim between the EFI firmware and the normal zImage entry point, and
sets up the environment that the zImage is expecting. This includes
optionally loading the initrd and device tree from the system partition
based on the kernel command line.
