    arm64/efi: Apply strict permissions to UEFI Runtime Services regions · 1fd55a9a
    Ard Biesheuvel authored
    Recent UEFI versions expose permission attributes for runtime services
    memory regions, either in the UEFI memory map or in the separate memory
    attributes table. This allows the kernel to map these regions with
    stricter permissions, rather than the RWX permissions that are used by
    default. So wire this up in our mapping routine.
    
    Note that in the absence of permission attributes, we still only map
    regions of type EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICE_CODE with the executable bit set.
    Also, we base the mapping attributes of EFI_MEMORY_MAPPED_IO on the
    type directly rather than on the absence of the EFI_MEMORY_WB attribute.
    This is more correct, but is also required for compatibility with the
    upcoming support for the Memory Attributes Table, which only carries
    permission attributes, not memory type attributes.
