CXL events were rerouted though the CXL subsystem for additional
processing. However, when that work was done it was missed that
cper_estatus_print_section() continued with a generic error message
which is confusing.
Teach CPER print code to ignore printing details of some section types.
Assign the CXL event GUIDs to this set to prevent confusing unknown
prints.

The EFI stub's kernel placement logic randomizes the physical placement
of the kernel by taking all available memory into account, and picking a
region at random, based on a random seed.
When KASLR is disabled, this seed is set to 0x0, and this results in the
lowest available region of memory to be selected for loading the kernel,
even if this is below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR. Some of this memory is
typically reserved for the GFP_DMA region, to accommodate masters that
can only access the first 16 MiB of system memory.
Even if such devices are rare these days, we may still end up with a
warning in the kernel log, as reported by Tom:
swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0
Fix this by tweaking the random allocation logic to accept a low bound
on the placement, and set it to LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR.

The recently introduced EFI memory attributes protocol should be used
if it exists to ensure that the memory allocation created for the kernel
permits execution. This is needed for compatibility with tightened
requirements related to Windows logo certification for x86 PCs.
Currently, we simply strip the execute protect (XP) attribute from the
entire range, but this might be rejected under some firmware security
policies, and so in a subsequent patch, this will be changed to only
strip XP from the executable region that runs early, and make it
read-only (RO) as well.
In order to catch any issues early, ensure that the memory attribute
protocol works as intended, and give up if it produces spurious errors.
Note that the DXE services based fallback was always based on best
effort, so don't propagate any errors returned by that API.

The EFI stub makefile contains logic to ensure that the objects that
make up the stub do not contain relocations that require runtime fixups
(typically to account for the runtime load address of the executable)
On RISC-V, we also avoid GP based relocations, as they require that GP
is assigned the correct base in the startup code, which is not
implemented in the EFI stub.
So add these relocation types to the grep expression that is used to
carry out this check.

The cflags for the RISC-V efistub were missing -mno-relax, thus were
under the risk that the compiler could use GP-relative addressing. That
happened for _edata with binutils-2.41 and kernel 6.1, causing the
relocation to fail due to an invalid kernel_size in handle_kernel_image.
It was not yet observed with newer versions, but that may just be luck.

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"From the new features standpoint, the most significant change here is
the addition of CSI-2 and MIPI DisCo for Imaging support to the ACPI
device enumeration code that will allow MIPI cameras to be enumerated
through the platform firmware on systems using ACPI.
Also significant is the switch-over to threaded interrupt handlers for
the ACPI SCI and the dedicated EC interrupt (on systems where the
former is not used) which essentially allows all ACPI code to run with
local interrupts enabled. That should improve responsiveness
significantly on systems where multiple GPEs are enabled and the
handling of one SCI involves many I/O address space accesses which
previously had to be carried out in one go with disabled interrupts on
the local CPU.
Apart from the above, the ACPI thermal zone driver will use the
Thermal fast Sampling Period (_TFP) object if available, which should
allow temperature changes to be followed more accurately on some
systems, the ACPI Notify () handlers can run on all CPUs (not just on
CPU0), which should generally speed up the processing of events
signaled through the ACPI SCI, and the ACPI power button driver will
trigger wakeup key events via the input subsystem (on systems where it
is a system wakeup device)
In addition to that, there are the usual bunch of fixes and cleanups.
Specifics:
- Add CSI-2 and DisCo for Imaging support to the ACPI device
enumeration code (Sakari Ailus, Rafael J. Wysocki)
- Adjust the cpufreq thermal reduction algorithm in the ACPI

When KASLR is enabled, the KASLR_FLAG bit in boot_params->hdr.loadflags
should be set to 1 to propagate KASLR status from compressed kernel to
kernel, just as the choose_random_location() function does.
Currently, when the kernel is booted via the EFI stub, the KASLR_FLAG
bit in boot_params->hdr.loadflags is not set, even though it should be.
This causes some functions, such as kernel_randomize_memory(), not to
execute as expected. Fix it.

You do not need to use $(shell ...) in recipe lines, as they are already
executed in a shell. An alternative solution is $$(...), which is an
escaped sequence of the shell's command substituion, $(...).
For this case, there is a reason to avoid $(shell ...).
Kbuild detects command changes by using the if_changed macro, which
compares the previous command recorded in .*.cmd with the current
command from Makefile. If they differ, Kbuild re-runs the build rule.
To diff the commands, Make must expand $(shell ...) first. It means that
hexdump is executed every time, even when nothing needs rebuilding. If
Kbuild determines that vmlinux.bin needs rebuilding, hexdump will be
executed again to evaluate the 'cmd' macro, one more time to really
build vmlinux.bin, and finally yet again to record the expanded command
into .*.cmd.
Replace $(shell ...) with $$(...) to avoid multiple, unnecessay shell
evaluations. Since Make is agnostic about the shell code, $(...), the
if_changed macro compares the string "$(hexdump -s16 -n4 ...)" verbatim,
so hexdump is run only for building vmlinux.bin.
For the same reason, $(shell ...) in EFI_ZBOOT_OBJCOPY_FLAGS should be
eliminated.
While I was here, I replaced '&&' with ';' because a command for
if_changed is executed with 'set -e'.

River reports boot hangs with v6.6 and v6.7, and the bisect points to
commit
a1b87d54f4e4 ("x86/efistub: Avoid legacy decompressor when doing EFI boot")
which moves the memory allocation and kernel decompression from the
legacy decompressor (which executes *after* ExitBootServices()) to the
EFI stub, using boot services for allocating the memory. The memory
allocation succeeds but the subsequent call to decompress_kernel() never
returns, resulting in a failed boot and a hanging system.
As it turns out, this issue only occurs when physical address
randomization (KASLR) is enabled, and given that this is a feature we
can live without (virtual KASLR is much more important), let's disable
the physical part of KASLR when booting on AMI UEFI firmware claiming to
implement revision v2.0 of the specification (which was released in
2006), as this is the version these systems advertise.

When the flash is not owned by the non-secure world, accessing the EFI
variables is straight-forward and done via EFI Runtime Variable
Services. In this case, critical variables for system integrity and
security are normally stored in the dedicated secure storage and can
only be manipulated directly from the secure world.
Usually, small embedded devices don't have the special dedicated secure
storage. The eMMC device with an RPMB partition is becoming more common,
and we can use this RPMB partition to store the EFI Variables.
The eMMC device is typically owned by the non-secure world (Linux in our
case). There is an existing solution utilizing eMMC RPMB partition for
EFI Variables, it is implemented by interacting with TEE (OP-TEE in this
case), StandaloneMM (as EFI Variable Service Pseudo TA), eMMC driver and
tee-supplicant. The last piece is the tee-based variable access driver
to interact with TEE and StandaloneMM.
So let's add the kernel functions needed.
This feature is implemented as a kernel module. StMM PTA has
TA_FLAG_DEVICE_ENUM_SUPP flag when registered to OP-TEE so that this
tee_stmm_efi module is probed after tee-supplicant starts, since
"SetVariable" EFI Runtime Variable Service requires to interact with
tee-supplicant.

When a task needs to accept memory it will scan the accepting_list
to see if any ranges already being processed by other tasks overlap
with its range. Due to an off-by-one in the range comparisons, a task

leading to an unnecessary delay before it begins processing the range.
Fix the off-by-one in the range comparison to prevent this and slightly

This patch leverages the alternative mechanism to dynamically optimize
bitops (including __ffs, __fls, ffs, fls) with Zbb instructions. When
Zbb ext is not supported by the runtime CPU, legacy implementation is
used. If Zbb is supported, then the optimized variants will be selected
via alternative patching.
The legacy bitops support is taken from the generic C implementation as
fallback.
If the parameter is a build-time constant, we leverage compiler builtin to
calculate the result directly, this approach is inspired by x86 bitops
implementation.
EFI stub runs before the kernel, so alternative mechanism should not be
used there, this patch introduces a macro NO_ALTERNATIVE for this purpose.

Michael reported soft lockups on a system that has unaccepted memory.
This occurs when a user attempts to allocate and accept memory on
multiple CPUs simultaneously.
The root cause of the issue is that memory acceptance is serialized with
a spinlock, allowing only one CPU to accept memory at a time. The other
CPUs spin and wait for their turn, leading to starvation and soft lockup
reports.
To address this, the code has been modified to release the spinlock
while accepting memory. This allows for parallel memory acceptance on
multiple CPUs.
A newly introduced "accepting_list" keeps track of which memory is
currently being accepted. This is necessary to prevent parallel
acceptance of the same memory block. If a collision occurs, the lock is
released and the process is retried.
Such collisions should rarely occur. The main path for memory acceptance
is the page allocator, which accepts memory in MAX_ORDER chunks. As long
as MAX_ORDER is equal to or larger than the unit_size, collisions will
never occur because the caller fully owns the memory block being
accepted.
Aside from the page allocator, only memblock and deferered_free_range()
accept memory, but this only happens during boot.
The code has been tested with unit_size == 128MiB to trigger collisions
and validate the retry codepath.

After the vga console no longer relies on global screen_info, there are
only two remaining use cases:
- on the x86 architecture, it is used for multiple boot methods
(bzImage, EFI, Xen, kexec) to commucate the initial VGA or framebuffer
settings to a number of device drivers.
- on other architectures, it is only used as part of the EFI stub,
and only for the three sysfb framebuffers (simpledrm, simplefb, efifb).
Remove the duplicate data structure definitions by moving it into the
efi-init.c file that sets it up initially for the EFI case, leaving x86
as an exception that retains its own definition for non-EFI boots.
The added #ifdefs here are optional, I added them to further limit the
reach of screen_info to configurations that have at least one of the
users enabled.

"This protocol is used to handle input and output of text-based

Unaccepted table is now allocated from EFI_ACPI_RECLAIM_MEMORY. It
translates into E820_TYPE_ACPI, which is not added to memblock and
therefore not mapped in the direct mapping.
This causes a crash on the first touch of the table.
Use memblock_add() to make sure that the table is mapped in direct
mapping.
Align the range to the nearest page borders. Ranges smaller than page
size are not mapped.

The native EFI entrypoint does not take a struct boot_params from the
loader, but instead, it constructs one from scratch, using the setup
header data placed at the start of the image.
This setup header is placed in a way that permits legacy loaders to
manipulate the contents (i.e., to pass the kernel command line or the
address and size of an initial ramdisk), but EFI boot does not use it in
that way - it only copies the contents that were placed there at build
time, but EFI loaders will not (and should not) manipulate the setup
header to configure the boot. (Commit 63bf28ceb3ebbe76 "efi: x86: Wipe
setup_data on pure EFI boot" deals with some of the fallout of using
setup_data in a way that breaks EFI boot.)
Given that none of the non-zero values that are copied from the setup
header into the EFI stub's struct boot_params are relevant to the boot
now that the EFI stub no longer enters via the legacy decompressor, the
copy can be omitted altogether.

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.
None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.
While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.
There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.
So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

Kyril reports that crashkernels fail to work on confidential VMs that
rely on the unaccepted memory table, and this appears to be caused by
the fact that it is not considered part of the set of firmware tables
that the crashkernel needs to map.
This is an oversight, and a result of the use of the EFI_LOADER_DATA
memory type for this table. The correct memory type to use for any
firmware table is EFI_ACPI_RECLAIM_MEMORY (including ones created by the
EFI stub), even though the name suggests that is it specific to ACPI.
ACPI reclaim means that the memory is used by the firmware to expose
information to the operating system, but that the memory region has no
special significance to the firmware itself, and the OS is free to
reclaim the memory and use it as ordinary memory if it is not interested
in the contents, or if it has already consumed them. In Linux, this
memory is never reclaimed, but it is always covered by the kernel direct
map and generally made accessible as ordinary memory.
On x86, ACPI reclaim memory is translated into E820_ACPI, which the
kexec logic already recognizes as memory that the crashkernel may need
to to access, and so it will be mapped and accessible to the booting
crash kernel.

Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti@rivosinc.com> says:
The following KASLR implementation allows to randomize the kernel mapping:
- virtually: we expect the bootloader to provide a seed in the device-tree
- physically: only implemented in the EFI stub, it relies on the firmware to
provide a seed using EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL. arm64 has a similar implementation
hence the patch 3 factorizes KASLR related functions for riscv to take
advantage.
The new virtual kernel location is limited by the early page table that only
has one PUD and with the PMD alignment constraint, the kernel can only take
< 512 positions.
