Incorporate the definition of EFI_MEMORY_CPU_CRYPTO from the UEFI
specification v2.8, and wire it into our memory map dumping routine
as well.

To make a bit of space in the output buffer, which is provided by
the various callers, shorten the descriptive names of the memory
types.

<title>efi: Support for MOK variable config table</title>

<id>58c909022a5a56cd1d9e89c8c5461fd1f6a27bb5</id>
<content type='text'>
Because of system-specific EFI firmware limitations, EFI volatile
variables may not be capable of holding the required contents of
the Machine Owner Key (MOK) certificate store when the certificate
list grows above some size. Therefore, an EFI boot loader may pass
the MOK certs via a EFI configuration table created specifically for
this purpose to avoid this firmware limitation.

An EFI configuration table is a much more primitive mechanism
compared to EFI variables and is well suited for one-way passage
of static information from a pre-OS environment to the kernel.

This patch adds initial kernel support to recognize, parse,
and validate the EFI MOK configuration table, where named
entries contain the same data that would otherwise be provided
in similarly named EFI variables.

Additionally, this patch creates a sysfs binary file for each
EFI MOK configuration table entry found. These files are read-only
to root and are provided for use by user space utilities such as
mokutil.

A subsequent patch will load MOK certs into the trusted platform
key ring using this infrastructure.

Commit

  bf67fad19e493b ("efi: Use more granular check for availability for variable services")

introduced a check into the efivarfs, efi-pstore and other drivers that
aborts loading of the module if not all three variable runtime services
(GetVariable, SetVariable and GetNextVariable) are supported. However, this
results in efivarfs being unavailable entirely if only SetVariable support
is missing, which is only needed if you want to make any modifications.
Also, efi-pstore and the sysfs EFI variable interface could be backed by
another implementation of the 'efivars' abstraction, in which case it is
completely irrelevant which services are supported by the EFI firmware.

So make the generic 'efivars' abstraction dependent on the availibility of
the GetVariable and GetNextVariable EFI runtime services, and add a helper
'efivar_supports_writes()' to find out whether the currently active efivars
abstraction supports writes (and wire it up to the availability of
SetVariable for the generic one).

Then, use the efivar_supports_writes() helper to decide whether to permit
efivarfs to be mounted read-write, and whether to enable efi-pstore or the
sysfs EFI variable interface altogether.

<title>efi: Make it possible to disable efivar_ssdt entirely</title>

In most cases, such as CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT and
CONFIG_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE, boot-time modifications to firmware tables
are tied to specific Kconfig options.  Currently this is not the case
for modifying the ACPI SSDT via the efivar_ssdt kernel command line
option and associated EFI variable.

This patch adds CONFIG_EFI_CUSTOM_SSDT_OVERLAYS, which defaults
disabled, in order to allow enabling or disabling that feature during
the build.

<title>efi: Replace zero-length array and use struct_size() helper</title>

<id>2963795122f50b36ed16e3ba880c3ed2de1bda6e</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.

Lastly, make use of the sizeof_field() helper instead of an open-coded
version.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited _manually_.
