Instead of going through the EFI system table each time, just copy the
runtime services table pointer into struct efi directly. This is the
last use of the system table pointer in struct efi, allowing us to
drop it in a future patch, along with a fair amount of quirky handling
of the translated address.
Note that usually, the runtime services pointer changes value during
the call to SetVirtualAddressMap(), so grab the updated value as soon
as that call returns. (Mixed mode uses a 1:1 mapping, and kexec boot
enters with the updated address in the system table, so in those cases,
we don't need to do anything here)

Memory accesses performed by UEFI runtime services should be limited to:
- reading/executing from EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_CODE memory regions
- reading/writing from/to EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA memory regions
- reading/writing by-ref arguments
- reading/writing from/to the stack.
Accesses outside these regions may cause the kernel to hang because the
memory region requested by the firmware isn't mapped in efi_pgd, which
causes a page fault in ring 0 and the kernel fails to handle it, leading
to die(). To save kernel from hanging, add an EFI specific page fault
handler which recovers from such faults by
1. If the efi runtime service is efi_reset_system(), reboot the machine
through BIOS.
2. If the efi runtime service is _not_ efi_reset_system(), then freeze
efi_rts_wq and schedule a new process.
The EFI page fault handler offers us two advantages:
1. Avoid potential hangs caused by buggy firmware.
2. Shout loud that the firmware is buggy and hence is not a kernel bug.

After the kernel has booted, if any accesses by firmware causes a page
fault, the efi page fault handler would freeze efi_rts_wq and schedules
a new process. To do this, the efi page fault handler needs
efi_rts_work. Hence, make it accessible.
There will be no race conditions in accessing this structure, because
all the calls to efi runtime services are already serialized.

Presently, when a user process requests the kernel to execute any
UEFI runtime service, the kernel temporarily switches to a separate
set of page tables that describe the virtual mapping of the UEFI
runtime services regions in memory. Since UEFI runtime services are
typically invoked with interrupts enabled, any code that may be called
during this time, will have an incorrect view of the process's address
space. Although it is unusual for code running in interrupt context to
make assumptions about the process context it runs in, there are cases
(such as the perf subsystem taking samples) where this causes problems.
So let's set up a work queue for calling UEFI runtime services, so that
the actual calls are made when the work queue items are dispatched by a
work queue worker running in a separate kernel thread. Such threads are
not expected to have userland mappings in the first place, and so the
additional mappings created for the UEFI runtime services can never
clash with any.
The ResetSystem() runtime service is not covered by the work queue
handling, since it is not expected to return, and may be called at a
time when the kernel is torn down to the point where we cannot expect
work queues to still be operational.
The non-blocking variants of SetVariable() and QueryVariableInfo()
are also excluded: these are intended to be used from atomic context,
which obviously rules out waiting for a completion to be signalled by
another thread. Note that these variants are currently only used for
UEFI runtime services calls that occur very early in the boot, and
for ones that occur in critical conditions, e.g., to flush kernel logs
to UEFI variables via efi-pstore.

The purpose of the efi_runtime_lock is to prevent concurrent calls into
the firmware. There is no need to use spinlocks here, as long as we ensure
that runtime service invocations from an atomic context (i.e., EFI pstore)
cannot block.
So use a semaphore instead, and use down_trylock() in the nonblocking case.
We don't use a mutex here because the mutex_trylock() function must not
be called from interrupt context, whereas the down_trylock() can.

This commit makes a few slight modifications to the efi_call_virt() macro
to get it to work with function pointers that are stored in locations
other than efi.systab->runtime, and renames the macro to
efi_call_virt_pointer(). The majority of the changes here are to pull
these macros up into header files so that they can be accessed from
outside of drivers/firmware/efi/runtime-wrappers.c.
The most significant change not directly related to the code move is to
add an extra "p" argument into the appropriate efi_call macros, and use
that new argument in place of the, formerly hard-coded,
efi.systab->runtime pointer.
The last piece of the puzzle was to add an efi_call_virt() macro back into
drivers/firmware/efi/runtime-wrappers.c to wrap around the new
efi_call_virt_pointer() macro - this was mainly to keep the code from
looking too cluttered by adding a bunch of extra references to
efi.systab->runtime everywhere.
Note that I also broke up the code in the efi_call_virt_pointer() macro a
bit in the process of moving it.

The UEFI spec allows runtime services to be called with interrupts
masked or unmasked, and if a runtime service function needs to mask
interrupts, it must restore the mask to its original state before
returning (i.e. from the PoV of the OS, this does not change across a
call). Firmware should never unmask exceptions, as these may then be
taken by the OS unexpectedly.
Unfortunately, some firmware has been seen to unmask IRQs (and
potentially other maskable exceptions) across runtime services calls,
leaving IRQ flags corrupted after returning from a runtime services
function call. This may be detected by the IRQ tracing code, but often
goes unnoticed, leaving a potentially disastrous bug hidden.
This patch detects when the IRQ flags are corrupted by an EFI runtime
services call, logging the call and specific corruption to the console.
While restoring the expected value of the flags is insufficient to avoid
problems, we do so to avoid redundant warnings from elsewhere (e.g. IRQ
tracing).
The set of bits in flags which we want to check is architecture-specific
(e.g. we want to check FIQ on arm64, but not the zero flag on x86), so
each arch must provide ARCH_EFI_IRQ_FLAGS_MASK to describe those. In the
absence of this mask, the check is a no-op, and we redundantly save the
flags twice, but that will be short-lived as subsequent patches
will implement this and remove the scaffolding.

Currently each architecture must implement two macros, efi_call_virt() and
__efi_call_virt(), which only differ by the presence or absence of a
return type. Otherwise, the logic surrounding the call is identical.
As each architecture must define the entire body of each, we can't place
any generic manipulation (e.g. irq flag validation) in the middle.
This patch adds template implementations of these macros. With these,
arch code can implement three template macros, avoiding reptition for
the void/non-void return cases:
* arch_efi_call_virt_setup()
Sets up the environment for the call (e.g. switching page tables,
allowing kernel-mode use of floating point, if required).
* arch_efi_call_virt()
Performs the call. The last expression in the macro must be the call
itself, allowing the logic to be shared by the void and non-void
cases.
* arch_efi_call_virt_teardown()
Restores the usual kernel environment once the call has returned.
While the savings from repition are minimal, we additionally gain the
ability to add common code around the call with the call environment set
up. This can be used to detect common firmware issues (e.g. bad irq mask
management).

The UEFI spec allows Runtime Services to be invoked with interrupts
enabled. The only reason we were disabling interrupts was to prevent
recursive calls into the services on the same CPU, which will lead to
deadlock. However, the only context where such invocations may occur
legally is from efi-pstore via efivars, and that code has been updated
to call a non-blocking alternative when invoked from a non-interruptible
context.
So instead, update the ordinary, blocking UEFI Runtime Services wrappers
to execute with interrupts enabled. This aims to prevent excessive interrupt
latencies on uniprocessor platforms with slow variable stores.
Note that other OSes such as Windows call UEFI Runtime Services with
interrupts enabled as well.

The rtc_lock spinlock aims to serialize access to the CMOS RTC
between the UEFI firmware and the kernel drivers that use it
directly. However, x86 is the only arch that performs such
direct accesses, and that never uses the time related UEFI
runtime services. Since no other UEFI enlightened architectures
have a legcay CMOS RTC anyway, we can remove the rtc_lock
spinlock entirely.

commit 5dc3826d9f08 ("efi: Implement mandatory locking for UEFI Runtime
Services") implemented some conditional locking when accessing variable
runtime services that Ingo described as "pretty disgusting".
The intention with the !efi_in_nmi() checks was to avoid live-locks when
trying to write pstore crash data into an EFI variable. Such lockless
accesses are allowed according to the UEFI specification when we're in a
"non-recoverable" state, but whether or not things are implemented
correctly in actual firmware implementations remains an unanswered
question, and so it would seem sensible to avoid doing any kind of
unsynchronized variable accesses.
Furthermore, the efi_in_nmi() tests are inadequate because they don't
account for the case where we call EFI variable services from panic or
oops callbacks and aren't executing in NMI context. In other words,
live-locking is still possible.
Let's just remove the conditional locking altogether. Now we've got the
->set_variable_nonblocking() EFI variable operation we can abort if the
runtime lock is already held. Aborting is by far the safest option.

There are some circumstances that call for trying to write an EFI
variable in a non-blocking way. One such scenario is when writing pstore
data in efi_pstore_write() via the pstore_dump() kdump callback.
Now that we have an EFI runtime spinlock we need a way of aborting if
there is contention instead of spinning, since when writing pstore data
from the kdump callback, the runtime lock may already be held by the CPU
that's running the callback if we crashed in the middle of an EFI
variable operation.
The situation is sufficiently special that a new EFI variable operation
is warranted.
Introduce ->set_variable_nonblocking() for this use case. It is an
optional EFI backend operation, and need only be implemented by those
backends that usually acquire locks to serialize access to EFI
variables, as is the case for virt_efi_set_variable() where we now grab
the EFI runtime spinlock.

According to section 7.1 of the UEFI spec, Runtime Services are not fully
reentrant, and there are particular combinations of calls that need to be
serialized. Use a spinlock to serialize all Runtime Services with respect
to all others, even if this is more than strictly needed.
We've managed to get away without requiring a runtime services lock
until now because most of the interactions with EFI involve EFI
variables, and those operations are already serialised with
__efivars->lock.
Some of the assumptions underlying the decision whether locks are
needed or not (e.g., SetVariable() against ResetSystem()) may not
apply universally to all [new] architectures that implement UEFI.
Rather than try to reason our way out of this, let's just implement at
least what the spec requires in terms of locking.
