commit 7083909023bbe29b3176e92d2d089def1aa7aa1e upstream.

Some of the EFI variable attributes are missing from print out from
/sys/firmware/efi/vars/*/attributes. This patch adds those in. It also
updates code to use pre-defined constants for masking current value
of attributes.

<title>pcdp: use early_ioremap/early_iounmap to access pcdp table</title>

commit 6c4088ac3a4d82779903433bcd5f048c58fb1aca upstream.

efi_setup_pcdp_console() is called during boot to parse the HCDP/PCDP
EFI system table and setup an early console for printk output.  The
routine uses ioremap/iounmap to setup access to the HCDP/PCDP table
information.

The call to ioremap is happening early in the boot process which leads
to a panic on x86_64 systems:

    panic+0x01ca
    do_exit+0x043c
    oops_end+0x00a7
    no_context+0x0119
    __bad_area_nosemaphore+0x0138
    bad_area_nosemaphore+0x000e
    do_page_fault+0x0321
    page_fault+0x0020
    reserve_memtype+0x02a1
    __ioremap_caller+0x0123
    ioremap_nocache+0x0012
    efi_setup_pcdp_console+0x002b
    setup_arch+0x03a9
    start_kernel+0x00d4
    x86_64_start_reservations+0x012c
    x86_64_start_kernel+0x00fe

This replaces the calls to ioremap/iounmap in efi_setup_pcdp_console()
with calls to early_ioremap/early_iounmap which can be called during
early boot.

This patch was tested on an x86_64 prototype system which uses the
HCDP/PCDP table for early console setup.

commit 54b3a4d311c98ad94b737802a8b5f2c8c6bfd627 upstream.

Ben Hutchings pointed out that the validation in efivars was inadequate -
most obviously, an entry with size 0 would server as a DoS against the
kernel. Improve this based on his suggestions.

commit fec6c20b570bcf541e581fc97f2e0cbdb9725b98 upstream.

A common flaw in UEFI systems is a refusal to POST triggered by a malformed
boot variable. Once in this state, machines may only be restored by
reflashing their firmware with an external hardware device. While this is
obviously a firmware bug, the serious nature of the outcome suggests that
operating systems should filter their variable writes in order to prevent
a malicious user from rendering the machine unusable.

Found one system with UEFI/iBFT, kernel does not detect the iBFT during
iscsi_ibft module loading.

Root cause: on x86 (UEFI), we are calling of find_ibft_region() much earlier
- specifically in setup_arch() before ACPI is enabled.

Try to split acpi checking code out and call that later

At that time ACPI iBFT already get permanent mapped with ioremap.
So isa_virt_to_bus() will get wrong phys from right virt address.
We could just skip that phys address printing.

For legacy one, print the found address early.

-v2: update comments and description according to Konrad.
-v3: fix problem about module use case that is found by Konrad.
-v4: use acpi_get_table() instead of acpi_table_parse() to handle module use case that is found by Konrad again..

The firmware header is not part of the CRC, so skip it. Otherwise the firmware
