Revert "efi/x86: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>"
This reverts commit f23cf8bd ("efi/x86: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>") as well as the x86 parts of commit f4f75ad5 ("efi: efistub: Convert into static library"). The road leading to these two reverts is long and winding. The above two commits were merged during the v3.17 merge window and turned the common EFI boot stub code into a static library. This necessitated making some symbols global in the x86 boot stub which introduced new entries into the early boot GOT. The problem was that we weren't fixing up the newly created GOT entries before invoking the EFI boot stub, which sometimes resulted in hangs or resets. This failure was reported by Maarten on his Macbook pro. The proposed fix was commit 9cb0e394 ("x86/efi: Fixup GOT in all boot code paths"). However, that caused issues for Linus when booting his Sony Vaio Pro 11. It was subsequently reverted in commit f3670394. So that leaves us back with Maarten's Macbook pro not booting. At this stage in the release cycle the least risky option is to revert the x86 EFI boot stub to the pre-merge window code structure where we explicitly #include efi-stub-helper.c instead of linking with the static library. The arm64 code remains unaffected. We can take another swing at the x86 parts for v3.18.
