This reverts commit bacef661acdb634170a8faddbc1cf28e8f8b9eee.
This commit has been found to cause serious regressions on a number of
ASUS machines at the least. We probably need to provide a 1:1 map in
addition to the EFI virtual memory map in order for this to work.

Other than ix86, x86-64 on EFI so far didn't set the
{g,s}et_wallclock accessors to the EFI routines, thus
incorrectly using raw RTC accesses instead.
Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't
enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in
physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual
addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions
(which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so
instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode()
ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling
efi-get-time in physical mode).
Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable()
requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be
avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this
function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()).
Also make the two EFI functions in question here static -
they're not being referenced elsewhere.

Traditionally the kernel has refused to setup EFI at all if there's been
a mismatch in 32/64-bit mode between EFI and the kernel.
On some platforms that boot natively through EFI (Chrome OS being one),
we still need to get at least some of the static data such as memory
configuration out of EFI. Runtime services aren't as critical, and
it's a significant amount of work to implement switching between the
operating modes to call between kernel and firmware for thise cases. So
I'm ignoring it for now.
v5:
* Fixed some printk strings based on feedback
* Renamed 32/64-bit specific types to not have _ prefix
* Fixed bug in printout of efi runtime disablement
v4:
* Some of the earlier cleanup was accidentally reverted by this patch, fixed.
* Reworded some messages to not have to line wrap printk strings
v3:
* Reorganized to a series of patches to make it easier to review, and
do some of the cleanups I had left out before.
v2:
* Added graceful error handling for 32-bit kernel that gets passed
EFI data above 4GB.
* Removed some warnings that were missed in first version.

It's not perfect, but way better than before. Mark efi_enabled as false in
case of error and at least stop dereferencing pointers that are known to
be invalid.
The only significant missing piece is the lack of undoing the
memblock_reserve of the memory that efi marks as in use. On the other
hand, it's not a large amount of memory, and leaving it unavailable for
system use should be the safer choice anyway.

efi_call_phys_prelog() sets up a 1:1 mapping of the physical address
range in swapper_pg_dir. Instead of replacing then restoring entries
in swapper_pg_dir we should be using initial_page_table which already
contains the 1:1 mapping.
It's safe to blindly switch back to swapper_pg_dir in the epilog
because the physical EFI routines are only called before
efi_enter_virtual_mode(), e.g. before any user processes have been
forked. Therefore, we don't need to track which pgd was in %cr3 when
we entered the prelog.
The previous code actually contained a bug because it assumed that the
kernel was loaded at a physical address within the first 8MB of ram,
usually at 0x100000. However, this isn't the case with a
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y kernel which could have been loaded anywhere in
the physical address space.
Also delete the ancient (and bogus) comments about the page table
being restored after the lock is released. There is no locking.

If we encounter an efi_memory_desc_t without EFI_MEMORY_WB set
in ->attribute we currently call set_memory_uc(), which in turn
calls __pa() on a potentially ioremap'd address.
On CONFIG_X86_32 this is invalid, resulting in the following
oops on some machines:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f7f22280
IP: [<c10257b9>] reserve_ram_pages_type+0x89/0x210
[...]
Call Trace:
[<c104f8ca>] ? page_is_ram+0x1a/0x40

[<c19211c7>] ? loglevel+0x1b/0x1b
[<c19210bf>] i386_start_kernel+0xbf/0xc8
A better approach to this problem is to map the memory region
with the correct attributes from the start, instead of modifying
it after the fact. The uncached case can be handled by
ioremap_nocache() and the cached by ioremap_cache().
Despite first impressions, it's not possible to use
ioremap_cache() to map all cached memory regions on
CONFIG_X86_64 because EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions really
don't like being mapped into the vmalloc space, as detailed in
the following bug report,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748516
Therefore, we need to ensure that any EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA
regions are covered by the direct kernel mapping table on
CONFIG_X86_64. To accomplish this we now map E820_RESERVED_EFI
regions via the direct kernel mapping with the initial call to
init_memory_mapping() in setup_arch(), whereas previously these
regions wouldn't be mapped if they were after the last E820_RAM
region until efi_ioremap() was called. Doing it this way allows
us to delete efi_ioremap() completely.

The EFI specification requires that callers of the time related

kernel, as the EFI time functions may choose to also use the
legacy CMOS RTC.
Besides fixing a latent bug, this is a prerequisite to safely
enable the rtc-efi driver for x86, which ought to be preferred
over rtc-cmos on all EFI platforms.

The return value of memblock_x86_check_reserved_size() doesn't
indicate whether there's an overlapping reservatoin or not. It
indicates whether the caller needs to iterate further to discover all

efi_reserve_boot_esrvices() wants to check whether the boot services

Testing suggests that at least some Lenovos and some Intels will
fail to reboot via EFI, attempting to jump to an unmapped
physical address. In the long run we could handle this by
providing a page table with a 1:1 mapping of physical addresses,
but for now it's probably just easier to assume that ACPI or
legacy methods will be present and reboot via those.

Consumers of the table pointers in struct efi check for
EFI_INVALID_TABLE_ADDR to determine validity, hence these
pointers should all be pre-initialized to this value (rather
than zero).
Noticed by the discrepancy between efivars' systab sysfs entry
showing all tables (and their pointers) despite the code
intending to only display the valid ones. No other bad effects
known, but having the various table parsing routines bogusly
access physical address zero is certainly not very desirable
(even though they're unlikely to find anything useful there).

Commit 916f676f8dc started reserving boot service code since some systems
require you to keep that code around until SetVirtualAddressMap is called.
However, in some cases those areas will overlap with reserved regions.
The proper medium-term fix is to fix the bootloader to prevent the
conflicts from occurring by moving the kernel to a better position,
but the kernel should check for this possibility, and only reserve regions
which can be reserved.

UEFI stands for "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface", where "Firmware"
is an ancient African word meaning "Why do something right when you can
do it so wrong that children will weep and brave adults will cower before
you", and "UEI" is Celtic for "We missed DOS so we burned it into your
ROMs". The UEFI specification provides for runtime services (ie, another
way for the operating system to be forced to depend on the firmware) and
we rely on these for certain trivial tasks such as setting up the
bootloader. But some hardware fails to work if we attempt to use these
runtime services from physical mode, and so we have to switch into virtual
mode. So far so dreadful.
The specification makes it clear that the operating system is free to do
whatever it wants with boot services code after ExitBootServices() has been
called. SetVirtualAddressMap() can't be called until ExitBootServices() has
been. So, obviously, a whole bunch of EFI implementations call into boot
services code when we do that. Since we've been charmingly naive and
trusted that the specification may be somehow relevant to the real world,
we've already stuffed a picture of a penguin or something in that address
space. And just to make things more entertaining, we've also marked it
non-executable.
This patch allocates the boot services regions during EFI init and makes
sure that they're executable. Then, after SetVirtualAddressMap(), it
discards them and everyone lives happily ever after. Except for the ones
who have to work on EFI, who live sad lives haunted by the knowledge that
someone's eventually going to write yet another firmware specification.
[ hpa: adding this to urgent with a stable tag since it fixes currently-broken
hardware. However, I do not know what the dependencies are and so I do
not know which -stable versions this may be a candidate for. ]

Experimentation with various EFI implementations has shown that functions
outside runtime services will still update their pointers if
SetVirtualAddressMap() is called with memory descriptors outside the
runtime area. This is obviously insane, and therefore is unsurprising.
Evidence from instrumenting another EFI implementation suggests that it
only passes the set of descriptors covering runtime regions, so let's
avoid any problems by doing the same. Runtime descriptors are copied to
a separate memory map, and only that map is passed back to the firmware.

Some firmware implementations assume that physically contiguous regions
will be contiguous in virtual address space. This assumption is, obviously,
entirely unjustifiable. Said firmware implementations lack the good grace
to handle their failings in a measured and reasonable manner, instead
tending to shit all over address space and oopsing the kernel.
In an ideal universe these firmware implementations would simultaneously
catch fire and cease to be a problem, but since some of them are present
in attractively thin and shiny metal devices vanity wins out and some
poor developer spends an extended period of time surrounded by a
growing array of empty bottles until the underlying reason becomes
apparent. Said developer presents this patch, which simply merges
adjacent regions if they happen to be contiguous and have the same EFI
memory type and caching attributes.
