commit b88c28280c3f7097546db93824686db1e7dceee1 upstream.

The move to a combined driver for the QCOM SCM hardware changed the
io_writel and io_readl helpers to use non-atomic calls, despite the
commit message saying that atomic was a better option. This breaks these
helpers on hardware that uses the old legacy convention (access fails
with a -95 return code). Switch back to using the atomic calls.

Observed as a failure routing GPIO interrupts to the Apps processor on
an IPQ8064; fix is confirmed as correctly allowing the interrupts to be
routed and observed.

[ Upstream commit e0f1a30cf184821499eeb67daedd7a3f21bbcb0b ]

When, at probe time, an SCMI communication failure inhibits the capacity
to query power domains states, such domains should be skipped.

Registering partially initialized SCMI power domains with genpd will
causes kernel panic.

<content type='text'>
Since commit 82046702e288 ("efi/libstub/arm64: Replace 'preferred' offset
with alignment check"), loading a relocatable arm64 kernel at a physical
address which is not 2MB aligned and subsequently booting with EFI will
leave the Image in-place, relying on the kernel to relocate itself early
during boot. In conjunction with commit dd4bc6076587 ("arm64: warn on
incorrect placement of the kernel by the bootloader"), which enables
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE by default, this effectively means that entering an
arm64 kernel loaded at an alignment smaller than 2MB with EFI (e.g. using
QEMU) will result in silent relocation at runtime.

Unfortunately, this has a subtle but confusing affect for developers
trying to inspect the PC value during a crash and comparing it to the
symbol addresses in vmlinux using tools such as 'nm' or 'addr2line';
all text addresses will be displaced by a sub-2MB offset, resulting in
the wrong symbol being identified in many cases. Passing "nokaslr" on
the command line or disabling "CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE" does not help,
since the EFI stub only copies the kernel Image to a 2MB boundary if it
is not relocatable.

Adjust the EFI stub for arm64 so that the minimum Image alignment is 2MB
unless KASLR is in use.

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
 "An unfortunately large collection of arm64 fixes for -rc5.

  Some of this is absolutely trivial, but the alternatives, vDSO and CPU
  errata workaround fixes are significant. At least people are finding
  and fixing these things, I suppose.

   - Fix workaround for CPU erratum #1418040 to disable the compat vDSO

   - Fix Oops when single-stepping with KGDB

   - Fix memory attributes for hypervisor device mappings at EL2

   - Fix memory leak in PSCI and remove useless variable assignment

   - Fix up some comments and asm labels in our entry code

   - Fix broken register table formatting in our generated html docs

   - Fix missing NULL sentinel in CPU errata workaround list

   - Fix patching of branches in alternative instruction sections"

Commit

  bf67fad19e493b ("efi: Use more granular check for availability for variable services")

introduced a check into the efivarfs, efi-pstore and other drivers that
aborts loading of the module if not all three variable runtime services
(GetVariable, SetVariable and GetNextVariable) are supported. However, this
results in efivarfs being unavailable entirely if only SetVariable support
is missing, which is only needed if you want to make any modifications.
Also, efi-pstore and the sysfs EFI variable interface could be backed by
another implementation of the 'efivars' abstraction, in which case it is
completely irrelevant which services are supported by the EFI firmware.

So make the generic 'efivars' abstraction dependent on the availibility of
the GetVariable and GetNextVariable EFI runtime services, and add a helper
'efivar_supports_writes()' to find out whether the currently active efivars
abstraction supports writes (and wire it up to the availability of
SetVariable for the generic one).

Then, use the efivar_supports_writes() helper to decide whether to permit
efivarfs to be mounted read-write, and whether to enable efi-pstore or the
sysfs EFI variable interface altogether.

The prototype of the functions handle_kernel_image &amp; efi_enter_kernel
are defined in efi-stub.c which may result in a compiler warnings if
-Wmissing-prototypes is set in gcc compiler.

Move the prototype to efistub.h to make the compiler happy.
