There's no need to save the runtime map details in global variables, the
values are only required to pass to efi_runtime_map_setup().
And because 'nr_efi_runtime_map' isn't needed, get_nr_runtime_map() can
be deleted along with 'efi_data_len'.

Add a new setup_data type SETUP_EFI for kexec use. Passing the saved
fw_vendor, runtime, config tables and EFI runtime mappings.
When entering virtual mode, directly mapping the EFI runtime regions
which we passed in previously. And skip the step to call
SetVirtualAddressMap().
Specially for HP z420 workstation we need save the smbios physical
address. The kernel boot sequence proceeds in the following order.
Step 2 requires efi.smbios to be the physical address. However, I found
that on HP z420 EFI system table has a virtual address of SMBIOS in step
1. Hence, we need set it back to the physical address with the smbios
in efi_setup_data. (When it is still the physical address, it simply
sets the same value.)
1. efi_init() - Set efi.smbios from EFI system table
2. dmi_scan_machine() - Temporary map efi.smbios to access SMBIOS table
3. efi_enter_virtual_mode() - Map EFI ranges
Tested on ovmf+qemu, lenovo thinkpad, a dell laptop and an
HP z420 workstation.

We map the EFI regions needed for runtime services non-contiguously,
with preserved alignment on virtual addresses starting from -4G down
for a total max space of 64G. This way, we provide for stable runtime
services addresses across kernels so that a kexec'd kernel can still use
them.
Thus, they're mapped in a separate pagetable so that we don't pollute
the kernel namespace.
Add an efi= kernel command line parameter for passing miscellaneous
options and chicken bits from the command line.
While at it, add a chicken bit called "efi=old_map" which can be used as
a fallback to the old runtime services mapping method in case there's
some b0rkage with a particular EFI implementation (haha, it is hard to
hold up the sarcasm here...).
Also, add the UEFI RT VA space to Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt.

Due to the workaround described in commit 916f676f8 ("x86, efi: Retain
boot service code until after switching to virtual mode") EFI Boot
Service regions are mapped for a period during boot. Unfortunately, with
the limited size of the i386 direct kernel map it's possible that some
of the Boot Service regions will not be directly accessible, which
causes them to be ioremap()'d, triggering the above warning as the
regions are marked as E820_RAM in the e820 memmap.
There are currently only two situations where we need to map EFI Boot
Service regions,
1. To workaround the firmware bug described in 916f676f8
2. To access the ACPI BGRT image
but since we haven't seen an i386 implementation that requires either,
this simple fix should suffice for now.

This patch reworks the UEFI anti-bricking code, including an effective
reversion of cc5a080c and 31ff2f20. It turns out that calling
QueryVariableInfo() from boot services results in some firmware
implementations jumping to physical addresses even after entering virtual
mode, so until we have 1:1 mappings for UEFI runtime space this isn't
going to work so well.
Reverting these gets us back to the situation where we'd refuse to create
variables on some systems because they classify deleted variables as "used"
until the firmware triggers a garbage collection run, which they won't do
until they reach a lower threshold. This results in it being impossible to
install a bootloader, which is unhelpful.
Feedback from Samsung indicates that the firmware doesn't need more than
5KB of storage space for its own purposes, so that seems like a reasonable
threshold. However, there's still no guarantee that a platform will attempt
garbage collection merely because it drops below this threshold. It seems
that this is often only triggered if an attempt to write generates a
genuine EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error. We can force that by attempting to
create a variable larger than the remaining space. This should fail, but if
it somehow succeeds we can then immediately delete it.
I've tested this on the UEFI machines I have available, but I don't have
a Samsung and so can't verify that it avoids the bricking problem.

All the virtualized platforms (KVM, lguest and Xen) have persistent
wallclocks that have more than one second of precision.
read_persistent_wallclock() and update_persistent_wallclock() allow
for nanosecond precision but their implementation on x86 with
x86_platform.get/set_wallclock() only allows for one second precision.
This means guests may see a wallclock time that is off by up to 1
second.
Make set_wallclock() and get_wallclock() take a struct timespec
parameter (which allows for nanosecond precision) so KVM and Xen
guests may start with a more accurate wallclock time and a Xen dom0
can maintain a more accurate wallclock for guests.

counted in the remaining_space field returned by QueryVariableInfo().
Combined with commit 68d9298 this can cause problems. Some implementations
don't garbage collect until the remaining space is smaller than the maximum
variable size, and as a result check_var_size() will always fail once more
than 50% of the variable store has been used even if most of that space is
marked as available for garbage collection. The user is unable to create
new variables, and deleting variables doesn't increase the remaining space.
The problem that 68d9298 was attempting to avoid was one where certain
platforms fail if the actively used space is greater than 50% of the
available storage space. We should be able to calculate that by simply
summing the size of each available variable and subtracting that from
the total storage space. With luck this will fix the problem described in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55471 without permitting
damage to occur to the machines 68d9298 was attempting to fix.

EFI variables can be flagged as being accessible only within boot services.
This makes it awkward for us to figure out how much space they use at
runtime. In theory we could figure this out by simply comparing the results
from QueryVariableInfo() to the space used by all of our variables, but
that fails if the platform doesn't garbage collect on every boot. Thankfully,
calling QueryVariableInfo() while still inside boot services gives a more
reliable answer. This patch passes that information from the EFI boot stub
up to the efi platform code.

Some EFI implementations return always a MaximumVariableSize of 0,
check against max_size only if it is non-zero.
My Intel DQ67SW desktop board has such an implementation.

Let's not burden ia64 with checks in the common efivars code that we're not
writing too much data to the variable store. That kind of thing is an x86
firmware bug, plain and simple.
efi_query_variable_store() provides platforms with a wrapper in which they can
perform checks and workarounds for EFI variable storage bugs.

Every 11 minutes ntp attempts to update the x86 rtc with the current
system time. Currently, the x86 code only updates the rtc if the system
time is within +/-15 minutes of the current value of the rtc. This
was done originally to avoid setting the RTC if the RTC was in localtime
mode (common with Windows dualbooting). Other architectures do a full
synchronization and now that we have better infrastructure to detect
when the RTC is in localtime, there is no reason that x86 should be
software limited to a 30 minute window.
This patch changes the behavior of the kernel to do a full synchronization
(year, month, day, hour, minute, and second) of the rtc when ntp requests
a synchronization between the system time and the rtc.
I've used the RTC library functions in this patchset as they do all the
required bounds checking.

So basically this function copies EFI memmap stuff from boot_params into
the EFI memmap descriptor and reserves memory for it. Make it much more

Pull x86 mm changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently
developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than
one would like.
The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed
by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we
create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how
much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that
memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we
now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" --
a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand.
This has several advantages:
1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data
very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way
early in the kernel startup).
2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked
from above the 4 GB limit. This allows kdump to work on very large
systems.
3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's
equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created
by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.
The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X.
Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you
were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to
__phys_addr()/__pa()."

commit 1de63d60cd ("efi: Clear EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES rather than
EFI_BOOT by "noefi" boot parameter") attempted to make "noefi" true to
its documentation and disable EFI runtime services to prevent the
bricking bug described in commit e0094244e4 ("samsung-laptop:
Disable on EFI hardware"). However, it's not possible to clear
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES from an early param function because
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES is set in efi_init() *after* parse_early_param().
This resulted in "noefi" effectively becoming a no-op and no longer
providing users with a way to disable EFI, which is bad for those
users that have buggy machines.
