commit 9115c7589b11349a1c3099758b4bded579ff69e0 upstream.

Even though it is documented how to specifiy efi parameters, it is
possible to cause a kernel panic due to a dereference of a NULL pointer when
parsing such parameters if "efi" alone is given:

PANIC: early exception 0e rip 10:ffffffff812fb361 error 0 cr2 0

This panic is not reproducible with "efi=" as this will result in a non-NULL
zero-length string.

Thus, verify that the pointer to the parameter string is not NULL. This is
consistent with other parameter-parsing functions which check for NULL pointers.

 "Here's the big tty/serial driver update for 4.1-rc1.

  It was delayed for a bit due to some questions surrounding some of the
  console command line parsing changes that are in here.  There's still
  one tiny regression for people who were previously putting multiple
  console command lines and expecting them all to be ignored for some
  odd reason, but Peter is working on fixing that.  If not, I'll send a
  revert for the offending patch, but I have faith that Peter can
  address it.

  Other than the console work here, there's the usual serial driver
  updates and changes, and a buch of 8250 reworks to try to make that
  driver easier to maintain over time, and have it support more devices
  in the future.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

Automated testing with LKP shows IMR self test code running and
printing error messages on QEMU hardware lacking IMR support.

Update IMR self-test code to run only when IMR hardware should
be present. Tested on Quark X1000 and QEMU.

<title>efi: Clean up the efi_call_phys_[prolog|epilog]() save/restore interaction</title>

Currently x86-64 efi_call_phys_prolog() saves into a global variable (save_pgd),
and efi_call_phys_epilog() restores the kernel pagetables from that global
variable.

Change this to a cleaner save/restore pattern where the saving function returns
the saved object and the restore function restores that.

Apply the same concept to the 32-bit code as well.

Plus this approach, as an added bonus, allows us to express the
!efi_enabled(EFI_OLD_MEMMAP) situation in a clean fashion as well,
via a 'NULL' return value.

<title>efi: Disable interrupts around EFI calls, not in the epilog/prolog calls</title>

Tapasweni Pathak reported that we do a kmalloc() in efi_call_phys_prolog()
on x86-64 while having interrupts disabled, which is a big no-no, as
kmalloc() can sleep.

Solve this by removing the irq disabling from the prolog/epilog calls
around EFI calls: it's unnecessary, as in this stage we are single
threaded in the boot thread, and we don't ever execute this from
interrupt contexts.
