Merge tag 'efi-next-for-v6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi
Pull EFI updates from Ard Biesheuvel:
"Note the removal of the EFI fake memory map support - this is believed
to be unused and no longer worth supporting. However, we could easily
bring it back if needed.
With recent developments regarding confidential VMs and unaccepted
memory, combined with kexec, creating a known inaccurate view of the
firmware's memory map and handing it to the OS is a feature we can
live without, hence the removal. Alternatively, I could imagine making
this feature mutually exclusive with those confidential VM related
features, but let's try simply removing it first.
Summary:
- Drop support for the 'fake' EFI memory map on x86
- Add an SMBIOS based tweak to the EFI stub instructing the firmware
on x86 Macbook Pros to keep both GPUs enabled
- Replace 0-sized array with flexible array in EFI memory attributes
table handling
- Drop redundant BSS clearing when booting via the native PE
entrypoint on x86
- Avoid returning EFI_SUCCESS when aborting on an out-of-memory
condition
- Cosmetic tweak for arm64 KASLR loading logic"
