<title>arm64: efi: clean up Image header after PE header has been split off</title>

After having split off the PE header, clean up the bits that remain:
use .long consistently, merge two adjacent #ifdef CONFIG_EFI blocks,
fix the offset of the PE header pointer and remove the redundant .align
that follows it.

Also, since we will be eliminating all open coded constants from the
EFI header in subsequent patches, let's replace the open coded "ARM\x64"
magic number with its .ascii equivalent.

No changes to the resulting binary image are intended.

We only need to initialise sctlr_el1 if we're installing an EL2 stub, so
we may as well defer this until we're doing so. Similarly, we can defer
intialising CPTR_EL2 until then, as we do not access any trapped
functionality as part of el2_setup.

This patch modified el2_setup accordingly, allowing us to remove a
branch and simplify the code flow.

The early el2_setup code is a little convoluted, with two branches where
one would do. This makes the code more painful to read than is
necessary.

We can remove a branch and simplify the logic by moving the early return
in the booted-at-EL1 case earlier in the function. This separates it
from all the setup logic that only makes sense for EL2.

Unlike most sysreg defintiions, the GICv3 definitions don't have a SYS_
prefix, and they don't live in &lt;asm/sysreg.h&gt;. Additionally, some
definitions are duplicated elsewhere (e.g. in the KVM save/restore
code).

For consistency, and to make it possible to share a common definition
for these sysregs, this patch moves the definitions to &lt;asm/sysreg.h&gt;,
adding a SYS_ prefix, and sorting the registers per their encoding.
Existing users of the definitions are fixed up so that this change is
not problematic.

The SPE architecture requires each exception level to enable access
to the SPE controls for the exception level below it, since additional
context-switch logic may be required to handle the buffer safely.

This patch allows EL1 (host) access to the SPE controls when entered at
EL2.

When building with debugging symbols, take the absolute path to the
vmlinux binary and add it to the special PE/COFF debug table entry.
This allows a debug EFI build to find the vmlinux binary, which is
very helpful in debugging, given that the offset where the Image is
first loaded by EFI is highly unpredictable.

On implementations of UEFI that choose to implement it, this
information is exposed via the EFI debug support table, which is a UEFI
configuration table that is accessible both by the firmware at boot time
and by the OS at runtime, and lists all PE/COFF images loaded by the
system.

The format of the NB10 Codeview entry is based on the definition used
by EDK2, which is our primary reference when it comes to the use of
PE/COFF in the context of UEFI firmware.

Some places in the kernel open-code sequences using ADRP for a symbol
another instruction using a :lo12: relocation for that same symbol.
These sequences are easy to get wrong, and more painful to read than is
necessary. For these reasons, it is preferable to use the
{adr,ldr,str}_l macros for these cases.

This patch makes use of adr_l these in head.S, removing an open-coded
sequence using adrp.

In commit 23c8a500c24d02dd ("arm64: kernel: use ordinary return/argument
register for el2_setup()"), we stopped using w20 as a global stash of
the boot mode flag, and instead pass this around in w0 as a function
parameter.

Unfortunately, we missed a couple of comments, which still refer to the
old convention of using w20/x20.

This patch fixes up the comments to describe the code as it currently
works.
