Now that ARM started following the example of arm64 and RISC-V, and
no longer imposes any restrictions on the placement of the FDT in
memory at boot, we no longer need per-arch implementations of
efi_get_max_fdt_addr() to factor out the differences. So get rid of

Generalize the efi_get_secureboot() function so not only efistub but also
other subsystems can use it.
Note that the MokSbState handling is not factored out: the variable is
boot time only, and so it cannot be parameterized as easily. Also, the
IMA code will switch to this version in a future patch, and it does not
incorporate the MokSbState exception in the first place.
Note that the new efi_get_secureboot_mode() helper treats any failures
to read SetupMode as setup mode being disabled.

At least some versions of Dell EFI firmware pass the entire
EFI_LOAD_OPTION descriptor, rather than just the OptionalData part, to
the loaded image. This was verified with firmware revision 2.15.0 on a
Dell Precision T3620 by Jacobo Pantoja.
To handle this, add a quirk to check if the options look like a valid
EFI_LOAD_OPTION descriptor, and if so, use the OptionalData part as the
command line.

Before commit
d0f9ca9be11f25ef ("ARM: decompressor: run decompressor in place if loaded via UEFI")
we were rather limited in the choice of base address for the uncompressed
kernel, as we were relying on the logic in the decompressor that blindly
rounds down the decompressor execution address to the next multiple of 128
MiB, and decompresses the kernel there. For this reason, we have a lot of
complicated memory region handling code, to ensure that this memory window
is available, even though it could be occupied by reserved regions or
other allocations that may or may not collide with the uncompressed image.
Today, we simply pass the target address for the decompressed image to the
decompressor directly, and so we can choose a suitable window just by
finding a 16 MiB aligned region, while taking TEXT_OFFSET and the region
for the swapper page tables into account.
So let's get rid of the complicated logic, and instead, use the existing
bottom up allocation routine to allocate a suitable window as low as
possible, and carve out a memory region that has the right properties.
Note that this removes any dependencies on the 'dram_base' argument to
handle_kernel_image(), and so this is removed as well. Given that this
was the only remaining use of dram_base, the code that produces it is
removed entirely as well.

On 32-bit ARM, we may boot at HYP mode, or with the MMU and caches off
(or both), even though the EFI spec does not actually support this.
While booting at HYP mode is something we might tolerate, fiddling
with the caches is a more serious issue, as disabling the caches is
tricky to do safely from C code, and running without the Dcache makes
it impossible to support unaligned memory accesses, which is another
explicit requirement imposed by the EFI spec.
So take note of the CPU mode and MMU state in the EFI stub diagnostic
output so that we can easily diagnose any issues that may arise from
this. E.g.,
EFI stub: Entering in SVC mode with MMU enabled
Also, capture the CPSR and SCTLR system register values at EFI stub
entry, and after ExitBootServices() returns, and check whether the
MMU and Dcache were disabled at any point. If this is the case, a
diagnostic message like the following will be emitted:
efi: [Firmware Bug]: EFI stub was entered with MMU and Dcache disabled, please fix your firmware!
efi: CPSR at EFI stub entry : 0x600001d3
efi: SCTLR at EFI stub entry : 0x00c51838
efi: CPSR after ExitBootServices() : 0x600001d3

In allocate_e820(), call the EFI get_memory_map() service directly
instead of indirectly via efi_get_memory_map(). This avoids allocation
of a buffer and return of the full EFI memory map, which is not needed
here and would otherwise need to be freed.
Routine allocate_e820() only needs to know how many EFI memory
descriptors there are in the map to allocate an adequately sized
e820ext buffer, if it's needed. Note that since efi_get_memory_map()
returns a memory map buffer sized with extra headroom, allocate_e820()
now needs to explicitly factor that into the e820ext size calculation.

Commit
22090f84bc3f ("efi/libstub: unify EFI call wrappers for non-x86")
refactored the macros that are used to provide wrappers for mixed-mode
calls on x86, allowing us to boot a 64-bit kernel on 32-bit firmware.
Unfortunately, this broke mixed mode boot due to the fact that
efi_is_native() is not a macro on x86.
All of these macros should go together, so rather than testing each one
to see if it is defined, condition the generic macro definitions on a
new ARCH_HAS_EFISTUB_WRAPPERS, and remove the wrapper definitions on x86
as well if CONFIG_EFI_MIXED is not enabled.

The practice of using __pure getter functions to access global
variables in the EFI stub dates back to the time when we had to
carefully prevent GOT entries from being emitted, because we
could not rely on the toolchain to do this for us.
Today, we use the hidden visibility pragma for all EFI stub source
files, which now all live in the same subdirectory, and we apply a
sanity check on the objects, so we can get rid of these getter
functions and simply refer to global data objects directly.
So switch over the remaining boolean variables carrying options set
on the kernel command line.

Commit
3ee372ccce4d ("x86/boot/compressed/64: Remove .bss/.pgtable from bzImage")
removed the .bss section from the bzImage.
However, while a PE loader is required to zero-initialize the .bss
section before calling the PE entry point, the EFI handover protocol
does not currently document any requirement that .bss be initialized by
the bootloader prior to calling the handover entry.
When systemd-boot is used to boot a unified kernel image [1], the image
is constructed by embedding the bzImage as a .linux section in a PE
executable that contains a small stub loader from systemd together with
additional sections and potentially an initrd. As the .bss section
within the bzImage is no longer explicitly present as part of the file,
it is not initialized before calling the EFI handover entry.
Furthermore, as the size of the embedded .linux section is only the size
of the bzImage file itself, the .bss section's memory may not even have
been allocated.
In particular, this can result in efi_disable_pci_dma being true even
when it was not specified via the command line or configuration option,
which in turn causes crashes while booting on some systems.
To avoid issues, place all EFI stub global variables into the .data
section instead of .bss. As of this writing, only boolean flags for a
few command line arguments and the sys_table pointer were in .bss and
will now move into the .data section.

Currently, we either return with an error [from efi_pe_entry()] or
enter a deadloop [in efi_main()] if any fatal errors occur during
execution of the EFI stub. Let's switch to calling the Exit() EFI boot
service instead in both cases, so that we
a) can get rid of the deadloop, and simply return to the boot manager
if any errors occur during execution of the stub, including during
the call to ExitBootServices(),
b) can also return cleanly from efi_pe_entry() or efi_main() in mixed
mode, once we introduce support for LoadImage/StartImage based mixed
mode in the next patch.
Note that on systems running downstream GRUBs [which do not use LoadImage
or StartImage to boot the kernel, and instead, pass their own image
handle as the loaded image handle], calling Exit() will exit from GRUB
rather than from the kernel, but this is a tolerable side effect.

One of the advantages of using what basically amounts to a callback
interface into the bootloader for loading the initrd is that it provides
a natural place for the bootloader or firmware to measure the initrd
contents while they are being passed to the kernel.
Unfortunately, this is not a guarantee that the initrd will in fact be
loaded and its /init invoked by the kernel, since the command line may
contain the 'noinitrd' option, in which case the initrd is ignored, but
this will not be reflected in the PCR that covers the initrd measurement.
This could be addressed by measuring the command line as well, and
including that PCR in the attestation policy, but this locks down the
command line completely, which may be too restrictive.
So let's take the noinitrd argument into account in the stub, too. This
forces any PCR that covers the initrd to assume a different value when
noinitrd is passed, allowing an attestation policy to disregard the
command line if there is no need to take its measurement into account
for other reasons.
As Peter points out, this would still require the agent that takes the
measurements to measure a separator event into the PCR in question at
ExitBootServices() time, to prevent replay attacks using the known
measurement from the TPM log.

There are currently two ways to specify the initrd to be passed to the
Linux kernel when booting via the EFI stub:
- it can be passed as a initrd= command line option when doing a pure PE
boot (as opposed to the EFI handover protocol that exists for x86)
- otherwise, the bootloader or firmware can load the initrd into memory,
and pass the address and size via the bootparams struct (x86) or
device tree (ARM)
In the first case, we are limited to loading from the same file system
that the kernel was loaded from, and it is also problematic in a trusted
boot context, given that we cannot easily protect the command line from
tampering without either adding complicated white/blacklisting of boot
arguments or locking down the command line altogether.
In the second case, we force the bootloader to duplicate knowledge about
the boot protocol which is already encoded in the stub, and which may be
subject to change over time, e.g., bootparams struct definitions, memory
allocation/alignment requirements for the placement of the initrd etc etc.
In the ARM case, it also requires the bootloader to modify the hardware
description provided by the firmware, as it is passed in the same file.
On systems where the initrd is measured after loading, it creates a time
window where the initrd contents might be manipulated in memory before
handing over to the kernel.
Address these concerns by adding support for loading the initrd into
memory by invoking the EFI LoadFile2 protocol installed on a vendor
GUIDed device path that specifically designates a Linux initrd.
This addresses the above concerns, by putting the EFI stub in charge of
placement in memory and of passing the base and size to the kernel proper
(via whatever means it desires) while still leaving it up to the firmware
or bootloader to obtain the file contents, potentially from other file
systems than the one the kernel itself was loaded from. On platforms that
implement measured boot, it permits the firmware to take the measurement
right before the kernel actually consumes the contents.

On x86, the preferred load address of the initrd is still below 4 GB,
even though in some cases, we can cope with an initrd that is loaded
above that.
To simplify the code, and to make it more straightforward to introduce
other ways to load the initrd, pass the soft and hard memory limits at
the same time, and let the code handling the initrd= command line option
deal with this.

The file I/O routine that is used to load initrd or dtb files from
the EFI system partition suffers from a few issues:
- it converts the u8[] command line back to a UTF-16 string, which is
pointless since we only handle initrd or dtb arguments provided via
the loaded image protocol anyway, which is where we got the UTF-16[]
command line from in the first place when booting via the PE entry
point,
- in the far majority of cases, only a single initrd= option is present,
but it optimizes for multiple options, by going over the command line
twice, allocating heap buffers for dynamically sized arrays, etc.
- the coding style is hard to follow, with few comments, and all logic
including string parsing etc all combined in a single routine.
Let's fix this by rewriting most of it, based on the idea that in the
case of multiple initrds, we can just allocate a new, bigger buffer
and copy over the data before freeing the old one.

Split off the file I/O support code into a separate source file so
it ends up in a separate object file in the static library, allowing
the linker to omit it if the routines are not used.

get_dram_base() is only called from arm-stub.c so move it into
the same source file as its caller.
