arm64: efi: Fix stub cache maintenance
While efi-entry.S mentions that efi_entry() will have relocated the kernel image, it actually means that efi_entry will have placed a copy of the kernel in the appropriate location, and until this is branched to at the end of efi_entry.S, all instructions are executed from the original image. Thus while the flush in efi_entry.S does ensure that the copy is visible to noncacheable accesses, it does not guarantee that this is true for the image instructions are being executed from. This could have disasterous effects when the MMU and caches are disabled if the image has not been naturally evicted to the PoC. Additionally, due to a missing dsb following the ic ialluis, the new kernel image is not necessarily clean in the I-cache when it is branched to, with similar potentially disasterous effects. This patch adds additional flushing to ensure that the currently executing stub text is flushed to the PoC and is thus visible to noncacheable accesses. As it is placed after the instructions cache maintenance for the new image and __flush_dcache_area already contains a dsb, we do not need to add a separate barrier to ensure completion of the icache maintenance. Comments are updated to clarify the situation with regard to the two images and the maintenance required for both.
