[ Upstream commit e1d447157f232c650e6f32c9fb89ff3d0207c69a ]

Another Lenovo convertable which reports a landscape resolution of
1920x1200 with a pitch of (1920 * 4) bytes, while the actual framebuffer
has a resolution of 1200x1920 with a pitch of (1200 * 4) bytes.

<title>arm64: efi: Force the use of SetVirtualAddressMap() on eMAG and Altra Max machines</title>

Commit 550b33cfd445 ("arm64: efi: Force the use of SetVirtualAddressMap()
on Altra machines") identifies the Altra family via the family field in
the type#1 SMBIOS record. eMAG and Altra Max machines are similarly
affected but not detected with the strict strcmp test.

The type1_family smbios string is not an entirely reliable means of
identifying systems with this issue as OEMs can, and do, use their own
strings for these fields. However, until we have a better solution,
capture the bulk of these systems by adding strcmp matching for "eMAG"
and "Altra Max".

When iterating on a linked list, a result of memremap is dereferenced
without checking it for NULL.

This patch adds a check that falls back on allocating a new page in
case memremap doesn't succeed.

UEFI v2.10 introduces version 2 of the memory attributes table, which
turns the reserved field into a flags field, but is compatible with
version 1 in all other respects. So let's not complain about version 2
if we encounter it.

After [1][2], if we catch exceptions due to EFI runtime service, we will
clear EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES bit to disable EFI runtime service, then the
subsequent routine which invoke the EFI runtime service should fail.

But the userspace cat efivars through /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ will stuck
and infinite loop calling read() due to efivarfs_file_read() return -EINTR.

The -EINTR is converted from EFI_ABORTED by efi_status_to_err(), and is
an improper return value in this situation, so let virt_efi_xxx() return
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR and converted to -EIO to invoker.

In cases where runtime services are not supported or have been disabled,
the runtime services workqueue will never have been allocated.

Do not try to destroy the workqueue unconditionally in the unlikely
event that EFI initialisation fails to avoid dereferencing a NULL

Do not try to refresh the RNG seed in case the firmware does not support
setting variables.

This is specifically needed to prevent a NULL-pointer dereference on the
Lenovo X13s with some firmware revisions, or more generally, whenever
the runtime services have been disabled (e.g. efi=noruntime or with
PREEMPT_RT).

Pull EFI updates from Ard Biesheuvel:
 "Another fairly sizable pull request, by EFI subsystem standards.

  Most of the work was done by me, some of it in collaboration with the
  distro and bootloader folks (GRUB, systemd-boot), where the main focus
  has been on removing pointless per-arch differences in the way EFI
  boots a Linux kernel.

   - Refactor the zboot code so that it incorporates all the EFI stub
     logic, rather than calling the decompressed kernel as a EFI app.

   - Add support for initrd= command line option to x86 mixed mode.

   - Allow initrd= to be used with arbitrary EFI accessible file systems
     instead of just the one the kernel itself was loaded from.

   - Move some x86-only handling and manipulation of the EFI memory map
     into arch/x86, as it is not used anywhere else.

   - More flexible handling of any random seeds provided by the boot
     environment (i.e., systemd-boot) so that it becomes available much
     earlier during the boot.

   - Allow improved arch-agnostic EFI support in loaders, by setting a
     uniform baseline of supported features, and adding a generic magic
     number to the DOS/PE header. This should allow loaders such as GRUB
     or systemd-boot to reduce the amount of arch-specific handling
     substantially.

   - (arm64) Run EFI runtime services from a dedicated stack, and use it
     to recover from synchronous exceptions that might occur in the
     firmware code.

   - (arm64) Ensure that we don't allocate memory outside of the 48-bit
     addressable physical range.

   - Make EFI pstore record size configurable

   - Add support for decoding CXL specific CPER records"
