commit 7d453eee36ae ("x86/efi: Wire up CONFIG_EFI_MIXED") introduced a
regression for the functionality to load kernels above 4G. The relevant
(incorrect) reasoning behind this change can be seen in the commit
message,

  "The xloadflags field in the bzImage header is also updated to reflect
  that the kernel supports both entry points by setting both of
  XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_32 and XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_64 when CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y.
  XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G is disabled so that the kernel text is
  guaranteed to be addressable with 32-bits."

This is obviously bogus since 32-bit EFI loaders will never place the
kernel above the 4G mark. So this restriction is entirely unnecessary.

But things are worse than that - since we want to encourage people to
always compile with CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y so that their kernels work out of
the box for both 32-bit and 64-bit firmware, commit 7d453eee36ae
effectively disables XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G completely.

Remove the overzealous and superfluous restriction and restore the
XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G functionality.

arch/x86/crypto/sha1_avx2_x86_64_asm.S introduced _end as a local
symbol, which broke the build under certain circumstances.  Although
the wisdom of _end as a local symbol can definitely be questioned, the
build should not break for that reason.

Thus, filter the output of nm to only get global symbols of
appropriate type.

NOTE! We may have to relax the "forbid the use of 16-bit segments in
64-bit mode" part, since there may be people who still run and depend on
16-bit Windows binaries under Wine.

But I'm taking this in the current unconditional form for now to see who
(if anybody) screams bloody murder.  Maybe nobody cares.  And maybe
we'll have to update it with some kind of runtime enablement (like our
vm.mmap_min_addr tunable that people who run dosemu/qemu/wine already
need to tweak).

We're currently passing the file handle for the root file system to
efi_file_read() and efi_file_close(), instead of the file handle for the
file we wish to read/close.

While this has worked up until now, it seems that it has only been by
pure luck. Olivier explains,

 "The issue is the UEFI Fat driver might return the same function for
  'fh-&gt;read()' and 'h-&gt;read()'. While in our case it does not work with
  a different implementation of EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. In our
  case, we return a different pointer when reading a directory and
  reading a file."

Fixing this actually clears up the two functions because we can drop one
of the arguments, and instead only pass a file 'handle' argument.

code32_start should point at the start of the protected mode code, and
*not* at the beginning of the bzImage. This is much easier to do in
assembly so document that callers of make_boot_params() need to fill out
code32_start.

The fallout from this bug is that we would end up relocating the image
but copying the image at some offset, resulting in what appeared to be
memory corruption.

commit 54b52d872680 ("x86/efi: Build our own EFI services pointer
table") introduced a regression because the 64-bit file_size()
implementation passed a pointer to a 32-bit data object, instead of a
pointer to a 64-bit object.

Because the firmware treats the object as 64-bits regardless it was
reading random values from the stack for the upper 32-bits.

This resulted in people being unable to boot their machines, after
seeing the following error messages,

    Failed to get file info size
    Failed to alloc highmem for files

    of memory - Borislav Petkov

  - Move the EFI facilities bits out of 'x86_efi_facility' and into
    efi.flags which is the standard architecture independent place to
    keep EFI state, by Matt Fleming.

  - Add 'EFI mixed mode' support: this allows 64-bit kernels to be
    booted from 32-bit firmware.  This needs a bootloader that supports
    the 'EFI handover protocol'.  By Matt Fleming"
