Replace the variable set function from "efivar_entry_set" to
"efivar_entry_set_safe" in efibc panic notifier.
In safe function parameter "block" will set to false
and will call "efivar_entry_set_nonblocking"to set efi variables.
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking is guaranteed to
not block and is suitable for calling from crash/panic handlers.
In UEFI android platform, when warm reset happens,
with this change, efibc will not block the reboot process.
Otherwise, set variable will call queue work and send to other offlined
cpus then cause another panic, finally will cause reboot failure.

<content type='text'>
Starting with ACPI 6.2 bits 1 and 2 of the BGRT status field are no longer
reserved. These bits are now used to indicate if the image needs to be
rotated before being displayed.

The first device using these bits has now shown up (the GPD MicroPC) and
the reserved bits check causes us to reject the valid BGRT table on this
device.

Rather then changing the reserved bits check, allowing only the 2 new bits,
instead just completely remove it so that we do not end up with a similar
problem when more bits are added in the future.

the linear map.

<id>e1a7eafb7350ff118e7538aca76b3f79e9280a8f</id>
<content type='text'>
In preparation for arm64 supporting ftrace built on other compiler
options, let's have Makefiles remove the $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) flags,
whatever these maybe, rather than assuming '-pg'.

While at it, fix arm32 as well. There should be no functional change as
a result of this patch.

In preparation for arm64 supporting ftrace built on other compiler
options, let's have Makefiles remove the $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) flags,
whatever these maybe, rather than assuming '-pg'.

While at it, fix arm32 as well. There should be no functional change as
a result of this patch.
