      efi/loongarch: libstub: remove dependency on flattened DT · 40cd01a9
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      LoongArch does not use FDT or DT natively [yet], and the only reason it
currently uses it is so that it can reuse the existing EFI stub code.

Overloading the DT with data passed between the EFI stub and the core
kernel has been a source of problems: there is the overlap between
information provided by EFI which DT can also provide (initrd base/size,
command line, memory descriptions), requiring us to reason about which
is which and what to prioritize. It has also resulted in ABI leaks,
i.e., internal ABI being promoted to external ABI inadvertently because
the bootloader can set the EFI stub's DT properties as well (e.g.,
"kaslr-seed"). This has become especially problematic with boot
environments that want to pretend that EFI boot is being done (to access
ACPI and SMBIOS tables, for instance) but have no ability to execute the
EFI stub, and so the environment that the EFI stub creates is emulated
[poorly, in some cases].

Another downside of treating DT like this is that the DT binary that the
kernel receives is different from the one created by the firmware, which
is undesirable in the context of secure and measured boot.

Given that LoongArch support in Linux is brand new, we can avoid these
pitfalls, and treat the DT strictly as a hardware description, and use a
separate handover method between the EFI stub and the kernel. Now that
initrd loading and passing the EFI memory map have been refactored into
pure EFI routines that use EFI configuration tables, the only thing we
need to pass directly is the kernel command line (even if we could pass
this via a config table as well, it is used extremely early, so passing
it directly is preferred in this case.)

      efi: libstub: install boot-time memory map as config table · 171539f5
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      Expose the EFI boot time memory map to the kernel via a configuration
table. This is arch agnostic and enables future changes that remove the
dependency on DT on architectures that don't otherwise rely on it.

      efi: libstub: remove DT dependency from generic stub · 4fc8e738
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      Refactor the generic EFI stub entry code so that all the dependencies on
device tree are abstracted and hidden behind a generic efi_boot_kernel()
routine that can also be implemented in other ways. This allows users of
the generic stub to avoid using FDT for passing information to the core
kernel.

      efi: libstub: unify initrd loading between architectures · f4dc7fff
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      Use a EFI configuration table to pass the initrd to the core kernel,
instead of per-arch methods. This cleans up the code considerably, and
should make it easier for architectures to get rid of their reliance on
DT for doing EFI boot in the future.

      efi: libstub: simplify efi_get_memory_map() and struct efi_boot_memmap · eab31265
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      Currently, struct efi_boot_memmap is a struct that is passed around
between callers of efi_get_memory_map() and the users of the resulting
data, and which carries pointers to various variables whose values are
provided by the EFI GetMemoryMap() boot service.

This is overly complex, and it is much easier to carry these values in
the struct itself. So turn the struct into one that carries these data
items directly, including a flex array for the variable number of EFI
memory descriptors that the boot service may return.

      efi: libstub: avoid efi_get_memory_map() for allocating the virt map · f80d2604
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      The virt map is a set of efi_memory_desc_t descriptors that are passed
to SetVirtualAddressMap() to inform the firmware about the desired
virtual mapping of the regions marked as EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME. The only
reason we currently call the efi_get_memory_map() helper is that it
gives us an allocation that is guaranteed to be of sufficient size.
However, efi_get_memory_map() has grown some additional complexity over
the years, and today, we're actually better off calling the EFI boot
service directly with a zero size, which tells us how much memory should
be enough for the virt map.

While at it, avoid creating the VA map allocation if we will not be
using it anyway, i.e., if efi_novamap is true.

      efi/loongarch: Add efistub booting support · ead384d9
      Huacai Chen authored 
      This patch adds efistub booting support, which is the standard UEFI boot
protocol for LoongArch to use.

We use generic efistub, which means we can pass boot information (i.e.,
system table, memory map, kernel command line, initrd) via a light FDT
and drop a lot of non-standard code.

We use a flat mapping to map the efi runtime in the kernel's address
space. In efi, VA = PA; in kernel, VA = PA + PAGE_OFFSET. As a result,
flat mapping is not identity mapping, SetVirtualAddressMap() is still
needed for the efi runtime.

      afs: Enable multipage folio support · 8549a263
      David Howells authored 
      Enable multipage folio support for the afs filesystem.

Support has already been implemented in netfslib, fscache and cachefiles
and in most of afs, but I've waited for Matthew Wilcox's latest folio
changes.

Note that it does require a change to afs_write_begin() to return the
correct subpage.  This is a "temporary" change as we're working on
getting rid of the need for ->write_begin() and ->write_end()
completely, at least as far as network filesystems are concerned - but
it doesn't prevent afs from making use of the capability.
