commit f91b1feada0b6f0a4d33648155b3ded2c4e0707e upstream.

At boot, the UTF-16 UEFI vendor string is copied from the system
table into a char array with a size of 100 bytes. However, this
size of 100 bytes is also used for memremapping() the source,
which may not be sufficient if the vendor string exceeds 50
UTF-16 characters, and the placement of the vendor string inside
a 4 KB page happens to leave the end unmapped.

So use the correct '100 * sizeof(efi_char16_t)' for the size of
the mapping.

<title>arm64/efi: add missing call to early_ioremap_reset()</title>

commit 0e63ea48b4d8035dd0e91a3fa6fb79458b47adfb upstream.

The early ioremap support introduced by patch bf4b558eba92
("arm64: add early_ioremap support") failed to add a call to
early_ioremap_reset() at an appropriate time. Without this call,
invocations of early_ioremap etc. that are done too late will go
unnoticed and may cause corruption.

This is exactly what happened when the first user of this feature
was added in patch f84d02755f5a ("arm64: add EFI runtime services").
The early mapping of the EFI memory map is unmapped during an early
initcall, at which time the early ioremap support is long gone.

Fix by adding the missing call to early_ioremap_reset() to
setup_arch(), and move the offending early_memunmap() to right after
the point where the early mapping of the EFI memory map is last used.

commit 6a7519e81321343165f89abb8b616df186d3e57a upstream.

"efi" global data structure contains "runtime_version" field which must
be assigned in order to use it later in Runtime Services virtual calls
(virt_efi_* functions).

Before this patch "runtime_version" was unassigned (0), so each
Runtime Service virtual call that checks revision would fail.

Booting a kernel with CONFIG_EFI enabled on a non-EFI system caused
an oops with the current UEFI support code.
Add the required test to prevent this.

This patch adds EFI runtime support for arm64. This runtime support allows
the kernel to access various EFI runtime services provided by EFI firmware.
Things like reboot, real time clock, EFI boot variables, and others.

This functionality is supported for little endian kernels only. The UEFI
firmware standard specifies that the firmware be little endian. A future
patch is expected to add support for big endian kernels running with
little endian firmware.
