commit 62d6b81e8bd207ad44eff39d1a0fe17f0df510a5 upstream.

The old SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS() macro leads to a warning about an
unused function:

  |  drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/scmi_power_control.c:363:12: error:
  | 	'scmi_system_power_resume' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
  |         static int scmi_system_power_resume(struct device *dev)

The proper way to do this these days is to use SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS()
and pm_sleep_ptr().

[ Upstream commit 78eb18020a88a4eed15f5af7700ed570642ff8f1 ]

The IVC code is library code that other drivers need to select if they
need that library. However, if the symbol is user-selectable this can
lead to conflicts.

Fix this by making the symbol only selectable for COMPILE_TEST and add
a select TEGRA_IVC to TEGRA_BPMP, which is currently the only user.

[ Upstream commit 9a0658d3991e6c82df87584b253454842f22f965 ]

Fix a race condition where a second suspend notification from another
SCMI agent wakes the system before SCMI_SYSPOWER_IDLE is set, leading
to ignored suspend requests. This is due to interrupts triggering early
execution of `scmi_userspace_notifier()` before the SCMI state is updated.

To resolve this, set SCMI_SYSPOWER_IDLE earlier in the device resume
path, prior to `thaw_processes()`. This ensures the SCMI state is
correct when the notifier runs, allowing the system to suspend again
as expected.

On some platforms using SCMI, SCP cannot distinguish between CPU idle
and suspend since both result in cluster power-off. By explicitly setting
the idle state early, the Linux SCMI agent can correctly re-suspend in
response to external notifications.

<title>firmware: arm_ffa: Change initcall level of ffa_init() to rootfs_initcall</title>

[ Upstream commit 0e0546eabcd6c19765a8dbf5b5db3723e7b0ea75 ]

The Linux IMA (Integrity Measurement Architecture) subsystem used for
secure boot, file integrity, or remote attestation cannot be a loadable
module for few reasons listed below:

 o Boot-Time Integrity: IMA’s main role is to measure and appraise files
 before they are used. This includes measuring critical system files during
 early boot (e.g., init, init scripts, login binaries). If IMA were a
 module, it would be loaded too late to cover those.

 o TPM Dependency: IMA integrates tightly with the TPM to record
 measurements into PCRs. The TPM must be initialized early (ideally before
 init_ima()), which aligns with IMA being built-in.

 o Security Model: IMA is part of a Trusted Computing Base (TCB). Making it
 a module would weaken the security model, as a potentially compromised
 system could delay or tamper with its initialization.

IMA must be built-in to ensure it starts measuring from the earliest
possible point in boot which inturn implies TPM must be initialised and
ready to use before IMA.

To enable integration of tpm_event_log with the IMA subsystem, the TPM
drivers (tpm_crb and tpm_crb_ffa) also needs to be built-in. However with
FF-A driver also being initialised at device initcall level, it can lead to
an initialization order issue where:
 - crb_acpi_driver_init() may run before tpm_crb_ffa_driver()_init and
   ffa_init()
 - As a result, probing the TPM device via CRB over FFA is deferred
 - ima_init() (called as a late initcall) runs before deferred probe
   completes, IMA fails to find the TPM and logs the below error:

   |  ima: No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!

Eventually it fails to generate boot_aggregate with PCR values.

Because of the above stated dependency, the ffa driver needs to initialised
before tpm_crb_ffa module to ensure IMA finds the TPM successfully when
present.

<title>arm64: fix unnecessary rebuilding when CONFIG_DEBUG_EFI=y</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 344b6580472451390d070c65c27f59716a1deecb ]

When CONFIG_DEBUG_EFI is enabled, some objects are needlessly rebuilt.

[Steps to reproduce]

  Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_EFI and run 'make' twice in a clean source tree.
  On the second run, arch/arm64/kernel/head.o is rebuilt even though
  no files have changed.

  $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- clean
  $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
     [ snip ]
  $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
    CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
    AS      arch/arm64/kernel/head.o
    AR      arch/arm64/kernel/built-in.a
    AR      arch/arm64/built-in.a
    AR      built-in.a
     [ snip ]

The issue is caused by the use of the $(realpath ...) function.

At the time arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile is parsed on the first run,
$(objtree)/vmlinux does not exist. As a result,
$(realpath $(objtree)/vmlinux) expands to an empty string.

On the second run of Make, $(objtree)/vmlinux already exists, so
$(realpath $(objtree)/vmlinux) expands to the absolute path of vmlinux.
However, this change in the command line causes arch/arm64/kernel/head.o
to be rebuilt.

To address this issue, use $(abspath ...) instead, which does not require
the file to exist. While $(abspath ...) does not resolve symlinks, this
should be fine from a debugging perspective.

The GNU Make manual [1] clearly explains the difference between the two:

  $(realpath names...)
    For each file name in names return the canonical absolute name.
    A canonical name does not contain any . or .. components, nor any
    repeated path separators (/) or symlinks. In case of a failure the
    empty string is returned. Consult the realpath(3) documentation for
    a list of possible failure causes.

  $(abspath namees...)
    For each file name in names return an absolute name that does not
    contain any . or .. components, nor any repeated path separators (/).
    Note that, in contrast to realpath function, abspath does not resolve
    symlinks and does not require the file names to refer to an existing
    file or directory. Use the wildcard function to test for existence.

The same problem exists in drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile.zboot.
On the first run of Make, $(obj)/vmlinuz.efi.elf does not exist when the
Makefile is parsed, so -DZBOOT_EFI_PATH is set to an empty string.
Replace $(realpath ...) with $(abspath ...) there as well.

Samsung SoC fixes for v6.16

1. Correct CONFIG option in arm64 defconfig enabling the Qualcomm SoC
   SNPS EUSB2 phy driver, because Kconfig entry was renamed when
   changing the driver to a common one, shared with Samsung SoC, thus
   defconfig lost that driver effectively.

2. Exynos ACPM: Fix timeouts happening with multiple requests.

<title>efi: Fix .data section size calculations when .sbat is present</title>

Commit 0f9a1739dd0e ("efi: zboot specific mechanism for embedding SBAT
section") neglected to adjust the sizes of the .data section when
CONFIG_EFI_SBAT_FILE is set. As the result, the produced PE binary is
incorrect and some tools complain about it. E.g. 'sbsign' reports:

 # sbsign --key my.key --cert my.crt arch/arm64/boot/vmlinuz.efi
 warning: file-aligned section .data extends beyond end of file
 warning: checksum areas are greater than image size. Invalid section table?

Note, '__data_size' is also used in the PE optional header and it is not
entirely clear whether .sbat needs to be accounted as part of
SizeOfInitializedData or not. As the header seems to be unused by the real
world firmware, keeping the field equal to __data_size.

Older versions of `ld` don't seem to support preprocessor directives in
linker scripts, e.g. on RHEL9's ld-2.35.2-63.el9 the build fails with:

 ld:./drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/zboot.lds:32: ignoring invalid character `#' in expression
 ld:./drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/zboot.lds:33: syntax error

We don't seem to need these '#ifdef', no empty .sbat section is created
when CONFIG_EFI_SBAT_FILE="":

 # objdump -h arch/arm64/boot/vmlinuz.efi

 arch/arm64/boot/vmlinuz.efi:     file format pei-aarch64-little
