Even though initcall return values are typically ignored, the
prototype is to return 0 on success or a negative errno value on
error. So fix the arm_enable_runtime_services() implementation to
return 0 on conditions that are not in fact errors, and return a
meaningful error code otherwise.

Add NULL return value checks to two invocations of early_memremap()
in the UEFI init code. For the UEFI configuration tables, we just
warn since we have a better chance of being able to report the issue
in a way that can actually be noticed by a human operator if we don't
abort right away. For the UEFI memory map, however, all we can do is
panic() since we cannot proceed without a description of memory.

<title>arm64: efi: correctly map runtime regions</title>

The kernel may use a page granularity of 4K, 16K, or 64K depending on
configuration.

When mapping EFI runtime regions, we use memrange_efi_to_native to round
the physical base address of a region down to a kernel page boundary,
and round the size up to a kernel page boundary, adding the residue left
over from rounding down the physical base address. We do not round down
the virtual base address.

In __create_mapping we account for the offset of the virtual base from a
granule boundary, adding the residue to the size before rounding the
base down to said granule boundary.

Thus we account for the residue twice, and when the residue is non-zero
will cause __create_mapping to map an additional page at the end of the
region. Depending on the memory map, this page may be in a region we are
not intended/permitted to map, or may clash with a different region that
we wish to map. In typical cases, mapping the next item in the memory
map will overwrite the erroneously created entry, as we sort the memory
map in the stub.

As __create_mapping can cope with base addresses which are not page
aligned, we can instead rely on it to map the region appropriately, and
simplify efi_virtmap_init by removing the unnecessary code.

As pointed out by Russell King in response to the proposed ARM version
of this code, the sequence to switch between the UEFI runtime mapping
and current's actual userland mapping (and vice versa) is potentially
unsafe, since it leaves a time window between the switch to the new
page tables and the TLB flush where speculative accesses may hit on
stale global TLB entries.

So instead, use non-global mappings, and perform the switch via the
ordinary ASID-aware context switch routines.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - "genirq: Introduce generic irq migration for cpu hotunplugged" patch
   merged from tip/irq/for-arm to allow the arm64-specific part to be
   upstreamed via the arm64 tree

 - CPU feature detection reworked to cope with heterogeneous systems
   where CPUs may not have exactly the same features.  The features
   reported by the kernel via internal data structures or ELF_HWCAP are
   delayed until all the CPUs are up (and before user space starts)

 - Support for 16KB pages, with the additional bonus of a 36-bit VA
   space, though the latter only depending on EXPERT

 - Implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics for arm64

 - New ASID allocation algorithm which avoids IPI on roll-over, together
   with TLB invalidation optimisations (using local vs global where
   feasible)

 - KASan support for arm64

 - EFI_STUB clean-up and isolation for the kernel proper (required by
   KASan)

 - copy_{to,from,in}_user optimisations (sharing the memcpy template)

 - perf: moving arm64 to the arm32/64 shared PMU framework

 - L1_CACHE_BYTES increased to 128 to accommodate Cavium hardware

 - Support for the contiguous PTE hint on kernel mapping (16 consecutive
   entries may be able to use a single TLB entry)

 - Generic CONFIG_HZ now used on arm64

 - defconfig updates

<title>efi: Use correct type for struct efi_memory_map::phys_map</title>

We have been getting away with using a void* for the physical
address of the UEFI memory map, since, even on 32-bit platforms
with 64-bit physical addresses, no truncation takes place if the
memory map has been allocated by the firmware (which only uses
1:1 virtually addressable memory), which is usually the case.

However, commit:

  0f96a99dab36 ("efi: Add "efi_fake_mem" boot option")

adds code that clones and modifies the UEFI memory map, and the
clone may live above 4 GB on 32-bit platforms.

This means our use of void* for struct efi_memory_map::phys_map has
graduated from 'incorrect but working' to 'incorrect and
broken', and we need to fix it.

So redefine struct efi_memory_map::phys_map as phys_addr_t, and
get rid of a bunch of casts that are now unneeded.

Pull v4.4 EFI updates from Matt Fleming:

  - Make the EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) driver explicitly
    non-modular by ripping out the module_* code since Kconfig doesn't
    allow it to be built as a module anyway. (Paul Gortmaker)

  - Make the x86 efi=debug kernel parameter, which enables EFI debug
    code and output, generic and usable by arm64. (Leif Lindholm)

  - Add support to the x86 EFI boot stub for 64-bit Graphics Output
    Protocol frame buffer addresses. (Matt Fleming)

  - Detect when the UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE feature is enabled
    in the firmware and set an efi.flags bit so the kernel knows when
    it can apply more strict runtime mapping attributes - Ard Biesheuvel

  - Auto-load the efi-pstore module on EFI systems, just like we
    currently do for the efivars module. (Ben Hutchings)

  - Add "efi_fake_mem" kernel parameter which allows the system's EFI
    memory map to be updated with additional attributes for specific
    memory ranges. This is useful for testing the kernel code that handles
    the EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE memmap bit even if your firmware
    doesn't include support. (Taku Izumi)

Note: there is a semantic conflict between the following two commits:

  8a53554e12e9 ("x86/efi: Fix multiple GOP device support")
  ae2ee627dc87 ("efifb: Add support for 64-bit frame buffer addresses")

I fixed up the interaction in the merge commit, changing the type of
current_fb_base from u32 to u64.

As we now have a common debug infrastructure between core and arm64 efi,
drop the bit of the interface passing verbose output flags around.

Now that we have an efi=debug command line option in the core code, use
this instead of the arm64-specific uefi_debug option.

<title>arm64: mm: rewrite ASID allocator and MM context-switching code</title>

<id>5aec715d7d3122f77cabaa7578d9d25a0c1ed20e</id>
<content type='text'>
Our current switch_mm implementation suffers from a number of problems:

  (1) The ASID allocator relies on IPIs to synchronise the CPUs on a
      rollover event

  (2) Because of (1), we cannot allocate ASIDs with interrupts disabled
      and therefore make use of a TIF_SWITCH_MM flag to postpone the
      actual switch to finish_arch_post_lock_switch

  (3) We run context switch with a reserved (invalid) TTBR0 value, even
      though the ASID and pgd are updated atomically

  (4) We take a global spinlock (cpu_asid_lock) during context-switch

  (5) We use h/w broadcast TLB operations when they are not required
      (e.g. in flush_context)

This patch addresses these problems by rewriting the ASID algorithm to
match the bitmap-based arch/arm/ implementation more closely. This in
turn allows us to remove much of the complications surrounding switch_mm,
including the ugly thread flag.
