Pull efivars sysfs interface removal from Ard Biesheuvel:
 "Remove the obsolete 'efivars' sysfs based interface to the EFI
  variable store, now that all users have moved to the efivarfs pseudo
  file system, which was created ~10 years ago to address some
  fundamental shortcomings in the sysfs based driver.

  Move the 'business logic' related to which EFI variables are important
  and may affect the boot flow from the efivars support layer into the
  efivarfs pseudo file system, so it is no longer exposed to other parts
  of the kernel"

* tag 'efi-efivars-removal-for-v5.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi:
  efi: vars: Move efivar caching layer into efivarfs
  efi: vars: Switch to new wrapper layer
  efi: vars: Remove deprecated 'efivars' sysfs interface

Currently, the arch_efi_call_virt() assumes all users of it will have
defined a type 'efi_##f##_t' to make use of it.

Simplify the arch_efi_call_virt() macro by eliminating the explicit
need for efi_##f##_t type for every user of this macro.

Move the fiddly bits of the efivar layer into its only remaining user,
efivarfs, and confine its use to that particular module. All other uses
of the EFI variable store have no need for this additional layer of
complexity, given that they either only read variables, or read and
write variables into a separate GUIDed namespace, and cannot be used to
manipulate EFI variables that are covered by the EFI spec and/or affect
the boot flow.

__efivar_entry_iter() uses a list iterator in a dubious way, i.e., it
assumes that the iteration variable always points to an object of the
appropriate type, even if the list traversal exhausts the list
completely, in which case it will point somewhere in the vicinity of the
list's anchor instead.

Fortunately, we no longer use this function so we can just get rid of it
entirely.

Both efivars and efivarfs uses __efivar_entry_iter() to go over the
linked list that shadows the list of EFI variables held by the firmware,
but fail to call the begin/end helpers that are documented as a
prerequisite.

So switch to the proper version, which is efivar_entry_iter(). Given
that in both cases, efivar_entry_remove() is invoked with the lock held
already, don't take the lock there anymore.

Commit 5d9db883761a ("efi: Add support for a UEFI variable filesystem")
dated Oct 5, 2012, introduced a new efivarfs pseudo-filesystem to
replace the efivars sysfs interface that was used up to that point to
expose EFI variables to user space.

The main problem with the sysfs interface was that it only supported up
to 1024 bytes of payload per file, whereas the underlying variables
themselves are only bounded by a platform specific per-variable and
global limit that is typically much higher than 1024 bytes.

The deprecated sysfs interface is only enabled on x86 and Itanium, other
EFI enabled architectures only support the efivarfs pseudo-filesystem.

So let's finally rip off the band aid, and drop the old interface
entirely. This will make it easier to refactor and clean up the
underlying infrastructure that is shared between efivars, efivarfs and
efi-pstore, and is long overdue for a makeover.

Avoid the efivars layer and simply call the newly introduced EFI
varstore helpers instead. This simplifies the code substantially, and
also allows us to remove some hacks in the shared efivars layer that
were added for efi-pstore specifically.

In order to be able to delete the EFI variable associated with a record,
store the UTF-16 name of the variable in the pstore record's priv field.
That way, we don't have to make guesses regarding which variable the
record may have been loaded from.

The current efivars layer is a jumble of list iterators, shadow data
structures and safe variable manipulation helpers that really belong in
the efivarfs pseudo file system once the obsolete sysfs access method to
EFI variables is removed.

So split off a minimal efivar get/set variable API that reuses the
existing efivars_lock semaphore to mediate access to the various runtime
services, primarily to ensure that performing a SetVariable() on one CPU
while another is calling GetNextVariable() in a loop to enumerate the
contents of the EFI variable store does not result in surprises.

Even though the efivars_lock lock is documented as protecting the
efivars->ops pointer (among other things), efivar_init() happily
releases and reacquires the lock for every EFI variable that it
enumerates. This used to be needed because the lock was originally a
spinlock, which prevented the callback that is invoked for every
variable from being able to sleep. However, releasing the lock could
potentially invalidate the ops pointer, but more importantly, it might
allow a SetVariable() runtime service call to take place concurrently,
and the UEFI spec does not define how this affects an enumeration that
is running in parallel using the GetNextVariable() runtime service,
which is what efivar_init() uses.

In the meantime, the lock has been converted into a semaphore, and the
only reason we need to drop the lock is because the efivarfs pseudo
filesystem driver will otherwise deadlock when it invokes the efivars
API from the callback to create the efivar_entry items and insert them
into the linked list. (EFI pstore is affected in a similar way)

So let's switch to helpers that can be used while the lock is already
taken. This way, we can hold on to the lock throughout the enumeration.

Commit b05b9f5f9dcf ("x86, mirror: x86 enabling - find mirrored memory
ranges") introduce the efi_find_mirror() function on x86. In order to reuse
the API we make it public.

Arm64 can support mirrored memory too, so function efi_find_mirror() is added to
efi_init() to this support for arm64.

Since efi_init() is shared by ARM, arm64 and riscv, this patch will bring
mirror memory support for these architectures, but this support is only tested
in arm64.
