UEFI time services are often broken once we're in virtual mode. We were
already refusing to use them on 64-bit systems, but it turns out that
they're also broken on some 32-bit firmware, including the Dell Venue.
Disable them for now, we can revisit once we have the 1:1 mappings code
incorporated.

"Main changes:
- Add support for earlyprintk=efi which uses the EFI framebuffer.
Very useful for debugging boot problems.
- EFI stub support for large memory maps (more than 128 entries)
- EFI ARM support - this was mostly done by generalizing x86 <-> ARM
platform differences, such as by moving x86 EFI code into
drivers/firmware/efi/ and sharing it with ARM.
- Documentation updates

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.

EFI implementations distinguish between space that is actively used by a
variable and space that merely hasn't been garbage collected yet. Space
that hasn't yet been garbage collected isn't available for use and so isn't
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.

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.

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.

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.

There was a serious problem in samsung-laptop that its platform driver is
designed to run under BIOS and running under EFI can cause the machine to
become bricked or can cause Machine Check Exceptions.
Discussion about this problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
The patches to fix this problem:
efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities
83e6818974
samsung-laptop: Disable on EFI hardware
e0094244e4
Unfortunately this problem comes back again if users specify "noefi" option.
This parameter clears EFI_BOOT and that driver continues to run even if running
under EFI. Refer to the document, this parameter should clear
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES instead.

Pull x86 EFI fixes from Peter Anvin:
"This is a collection of fixes for the EFI support. The controversial
bit here is a set of patches which bumps the boot protocol version as
part of fixing some serious problems with the EFI handover protocol,
used when booting under EFI using a bootloader as opposed to directly
from EFI. These changes should also make it a lot saner to support
cross-mode 32/64-bit EFI booting in the future. Getting these changes
into 3.8 means we avoid presenting an inconsistent ABI to bootloaders.
Other changes are display detection and fixing efivarfs."

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.
The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
bricked. Also, the following report,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,
if (!efi_enabled)
hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.
Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
facilities.
For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).
This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

efi.runtime_version is erroneously being set to the value of the
vendor's firmware revision instead of that of the implemented EFI
specification. We can't deduce which EFI functions are available based
on the revision of the vendor's firmware since the version scheme is
likely to be unique to each vendor.
What we really need to know is the revision of the implemented EFI
specification, which is available in the EFI System Table header.

185034e72d59: "x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable mapping for virtual EFI calls")
as they all depend semantically on commit 53b87cf088 ("x86, mm:

reverted earlier due to the problems it caused.
This was pointed out by Yinghai Lu, and verified by me on my Macbook Air
that uses EFI.
