The 32 bit and 64 bit implementations differ in their __init annotations
for some functions referenced from the common EFI code. Namely, the 32
bit variant is missing some of the __init annotations the 64 bit variant
has.
To solve the colliding annotations, mark the corresponding functions in
efi_32.c as initialization code, too -- as it is such.
Actually, quite a few more functions are only used during initialization
and therefore can be marked __init. They are therefore annotated, too.
Also add the __init annotation to the prototypes in the efi.h header so
users of those functions will see it's meant as initialization code
only.
This patch also fixes the "prelog" typo. ("prologue" / "epilogue" might
be more appropriate but this is C code after all, not an opera! :D)

the EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES bit in efi.flags should be cleared thus users
of efi runtime services can check the bit and handle the case instead of
assume efi runtime is ok.
Per Matt, if efi call SetVirtualAddressMap fails we will be not sure

We need a way to customize the behaviour of the EFI boot stub, in
particular, we need a way to disable the "chunking" workaround, used
when reading files from the EFI System Partition.
One of my machines doesn't cope well when reading files in 1MB chunks to
a buffer above the 4GB mark - it appears that the "chunking" bug
workaround triggers another firmware bug. This was only discovered with
commit 4bf7111f50 ("x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G"), and
that commit is perfectly valid. The symptom I observed was a corrupt
initrd rather than any kind of crash.
efi= is now used to specify EFI parameters in two very different
execution environments, the EFI boot stub and during kernel boot.
There is also a slight performance optimization by enabling efi=nochunk,
but that's offset by the fact that you're more likely to run into
firmware issues, at least on x86. This is the rationale behind leaving
the workaround enabled by default.
Also provide some documentation for EFI_READ_CHUNK_SIZE and why we're
using the current value of 1MB.

Use early_mem*() instead of early_io*() because all mapped EFI regions
are memory (usually RAM but they could also be ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, flash,
etc.) not I/O regions. Additionally, I/O family calls do not work correctly
under Xen in our case. early_ioremap() skips the PFN to MFN conversion
when building the PTE. Using it for memory will attempt to map the wrong
machine frame. However, all artificial EFI structures created under Xen
live in dom0 memory and should be mapped/unmapped using early_mem*() family
calls which map domain memory.

For i386, all the EFI system runtime services functions return efi_status_t
except efi_reset_system_system. Therefore, not all functions can be covered
by the same macro in case the macro needs to do more than calling the function
(i.e., return a value). The purpose of the __efi_call_virt macro is to be used
when no return value is expected.
For x86_64, this macro would not be needed as all the runtime services return
u64. However, the same code is used for both x86_64 and i386. Thus, the macro
__efi_call_virt is also defined to not break compilation.

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.

Setup the runtime services based on whether we're booting in EFI native
mode or not. For non-native mode we need to thunk from 64-bit into
32-bit mode before invoking the EFI runtime services.
Using the runtime services after SetVirtualAddressMap() is slightly more
complicated because we need to ensure that all the addresses we pass to
the firmware are below the 4GB boundary so that they can be addressed
with 32-bit pointers, see efi_setup_page_tables().

Currently, running SetVirtualAddressMap() and passing the physical
address of the virtual map array was working only by a lucky coincidence
because the memory was present in the EFI page table too. Until Toshi
went and booted this on a big HP box - the krealloc() manner of resizing
the memmap we're doing did allocate from such physical addresses which
were not mapped anymore and boom:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1386806463.1791.295.camel@misato.fc.hp.com
One way to take care of that issue is to reimplement the krealloc thing
but with pages. We start with contiguous pages of order 1, i.e. 2 pages,
and when we deplete that memory (shouldn't happen all that often but you
know firmware) we realloc the next power-of-two pages.
Having the pages, it is much more handy and easy to map them into the
EFI page table with the already existing mapping code which we're using
for building the virtual mappings.

As we grow support for more EFI architectures they're going to want the

Instead of storing this information in an architecture-specific place,

Specially for HP z420 workstation we need save the smbios physical

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.)

2. dmi_scan_machine() - Temporary map efi.smbios to access SMBIOS table

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.
