Add the Kconfig option and bump the kernel header version so that boot
loaders can check whether the handover code is available if they want.
The xloadflags field in the bzImage header is also updated to reflect
that the kernel supports both entry points by setting both of
XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_32 and XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_64 when CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y.
XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G is disabled so that the kernel text is
guaranteed to be addressable with 32-bits.
Note that no boot loaders should be using the bits set in xloadflags to
decide which entry point to jump to. The entire scheme is based on the
concept that 32-bit bootloaders always jump to ->handover_offset and
64-bit loaders always jump to ->handover_offset + 512. We set both bits
merely to inform the boot loader that it's safe to use the native
handover offset even if the machine type in the PE/COFF header claims
otherwise.

The EFI handover code only works if the "bitness" of the firmware and
the kernel match, i.e. 64-bit firmware and 64-bit kernel - it is not
possible to mix the two. This goes against the tradition that a 32-bit
kernel can be loaded on a 64-bit BIOS platform without having to do
anything special in the boot loader. Linux distributions, for one thing,
regularly run only 32-bit kernels on their live media.
Despite having only one 'handover_offset' field in the kernel header,
EFI boot loaders use two separate entry points to enter the kernel based
on the architecture the boot loader was compiled for,
(1) 32-bit loader: handover_offset
(2) 64-bit loader: handover_offset + 512
Since we already have two entry points, we can leverage them to infer
the bitness of the firmware we're running on, without requiring any boot
loader modifications, by making (1) and (2) valid entry points for both
CONFIG_X86_32 and CONFIG_X86_64 kernels.
To be clear, a 32-bit boot loader will always use (1) and a 64-bit boot
loader will always use (2). It's just that, if a single kernel image
supports (1) and (2) that image can be used with both 32-bit and 64-bit
boot loaders, and hence both 32-bit and 64-bit EFI.
(1) and (2) must be 512 bytes apart at all times, but that is already
part of the boot ABI and we could never change that delta without
breaking existing boot loaders anyhow.

Implement the transition code to go from IA32e mode to protected mode in
the EFI boot stub. This is required to use 32-bit EFI services from a
64-bit kernel.
Since EFI boot stub is executed in an identity-mapped region, there's
not much we need to do before invoking the 32-bit EFI boot services.
However, we do reload the firmware's global descriptor table
(efi32_boot_gdt) in case things like timer events are still running in
the firmware.

It's not possible to dereference the EFI System table directly when
booting a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit EFI firmware because the size of
pointers don't match.
In preparation for supporting the above use case, build a list of
function pointers on boot so that callers don't have to worry about
converting pointer sizes through multiple levels of indirection.

The traditional approach of using machine-specific types such as
'unsigned long' does not allow the kernel to interact with firmware
running in a different CPU mode, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 32-bit EFI.
Add distinct EFI structure definitions for both 32-bit and 64-bit so
that we can use them in the 32-bit and 64-bit code paths.

Commit dd78b97367 ("x86, boot: Move CPU

has_eflag() function. In 16-bit mode want the instruction to be
'pushfl', but we just say 'pushf' and hope the compiler does what we
wanted.
When building with 'clang -m16', it won't, because clang doesn't use
the horrid '.code16gcc' hack that even 'gcc -m16' uses internally.
Say what we mean and don't make the compiler make assumptions.
[ hpa: ideally we would be able to use the gcc %zN construct here, but
that is broken for 64-bit integers in gcc < 4.5.
The code with plain "pushf/popf" is fine for 32- or 64-bit mode, but
not for 16-bit mode; in 16-bit mode those are 16-bit instructions in
.code16 mode, and 32-bit instructions in .code16gcc mode. ]

XOR. Only when neither is available should the i8254 be used. Update
the Kconfig documentation to reflect this. Additionally, since bits

the get_random_long(). Similarly, use the entire TSC, not just the low
32 bits.
Finally, to improve the starting entropy, do a simple hashing of a
build-time versions string and the boot-time boot_params structure for
some additional level of unpredictability.

The problem in efi_main was that the idt was cleared before the
interrupts were disabled.
The UEFI spec states that interrupts aren't used so this shouldn't be
too much of a problem. Peripherals however don't necessarily know about
this and thus might cause interrupts to happen anyway. Even if
ExitBootServices() has been called.
This means there is a risk of an interrupt being triggered while the IDT
register is nullified and the interrupt bit hasn't been cleared,
allowing for a triple fault.
This patch disables the interrupt flag, while leaving the existing IDT
in place. The CPU won't care about the IDT at all as long as the
interrupt bit is off, so it's safe to leave it in place as nothing will
ever happen to it.
