The following commit:

  d64934019f6c ("x86/efi: Use efi_exit_boot_services()")

introduced a regression on systems with large memory maps causing them
to hang on boot. The first "goto get_map" that was removed from
exit_boot() ensured there was enough room for the memory map when
efi_call_early(exit_boot_services) was called. This happens when
(nr_desc &gt; ARRAY_SIZE(params-&gt;e820_table).

Chain of events:

  exit_boot()
    efi_exit_boot_services()
      efi_get_memory_map                  &lt;- at this point the mm can't grow over 8 desc
      priv_func()
        exit_boot_func()
          allocate_e820ext()              &lt;- new mm grows over 8 desc from e820 alloc
      efi_call_early(exit_boot_services)  &lt;- mm key doesn't match so retry
      efi_call_early(get_memory_map)      &lt;- not enough room for new mm
      system hangs

This patch allocates the e820 buffer before calling efi_exit_boot_services()
and fixes the regression.

<title>x86/boot: Mostly revert commit ae7e1238e68f2a ("Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header")</title>

<content type='text'>
Peter Anvin pointed out that commit:

  ae7e1238e68f2a ("x86/boot: Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header")

should be reverted as setup_header should only contain items set by the
legacy BIOS.

So revert said commit. Instead of fully reverting the dependent commit
of:

  e7b66d16fe4172 ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address for boot params if available")

just remove the setup_header reference in order to replace it by
a boot_params in a followup patch.

"sizeof(x)" is the canonical coding style used in arch/x86 most of the time.
Fix the few places that didn't follow the convention.

(Also do some whitespace cleanups in a few places while at it.)

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes are:

   - Add support for enlisting the help of the EFI firmware to create
     memory reservations that persist across kexec.

   - Add page fault handling to the runtime services support code on x86
     so we can more gracefully recover from buggy EFI firmware.

   - Fix command line handling on x86 for the boot path that omits the
     stub's PE/COFF entry point.

  efi/x86: drop task_lock() from efi_switch_mm()
  efi/x86: Handle page faults occurring while running EFI runtime services

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes are:

   - Add support for enlisting the help of the EFI firmware to create
     memory reservations that persist across kexec.

   - Add page fault handling to the runtime services support code on x86
     so we can more gracefully recover from buggy EFI firmware.

   - Fix command line handling on x86 for the boot path that omits the
     stub's PE/COFF entry point.

   - Other assorted fixes and updates"

* 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:

When compiling the kernel with Clang, this warning appears even though
it is disabled for the whole kernel because this folder has its own set
of KBUILD_CFLAGS. It was disabled before the beginning of git history.

<title>x86/boot: Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header</title>

<id>ae7e1238e68f2a472a125673ab506d49158c1889</id>
<content type='text'>
Xen PVH guests receive the address of the RSDP table from Xen. In order
to support booting a Xen PVH guest via Grub2 using the standard x86
boot entry we need a way for Grub2 to pass the RSDP address to the
kernel.

For this purpose expand the struct setup_header to hold the physical
address of the RSDP address. Being zero means it isn't specified and
has to be located the legacy way (searching through low memory or
EBDA).

While documenting the new setup_header layout and protocol version
2.14 add the missing documentation of protocol version 2.13.

There are Grub2 versions in several distros with a downstream patch
violating the boot protocol by writing past the end of setup_header.
This requires another update of the boot protocol to enable the kernel
to distinguish between a specified RSDP address and one filled with
garbage by such a broken Grub2.

From protocol 2.14 on Grub2 will write the version it is supporting
(but never a higher value than found to be supported by the kernel)
ored with 0x8000 to the version field of setup_header. This enables
the kernel to know up to which field Grub2 has written information
to. All fields after that are supposed to be clobbered.
