Pull EFI updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The EFI pile:
- Make mixed mode UEFI runtime service invocations mutually
exclusive, as mandated by the UEFI spec
- Perform UEFI runtime services calls from a work queue so the calls
into the firmware occur from a kernel thread
- Honor the UEFI memory map attributes for live memory regions
configured by UEFI as a framebuffer. This works around a coherency
problem with KVM guests running on ARM.
- Cleanups, improvements and fixes all over the place"
* 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
efivars: Call guid_parse() against guid_t type of variable
efi/cper: Use consistent types for UUIDs

efi/x86: Prevent reentrant firmware calls in mixed mode
efi/esrt: Only call efi_mem_reserve() for boot services memory
fbdev/efifb: Honour UEFI memory map attributes when mapping the FB
efi: Drop type and attribute checks in efi_mem_desc_lookup()
efi/libstub/arm: Add opt-in Kconfig option for the DTB loader
efi: Remove the declaration of efi_late_init() as the function is unused
efi/cper: Avoid using get_seconds()
efi: Use a work queue to invoke EFI Runtime Services
efi/x86: Use non-blocking SetVariable() for efi_delete_dummy_variable()
efi/x86: Clean up the eboot code

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
