This reverts commit f23cf8bd5c1f ("efi/x86: efistub: Move shared
dependencies to &lt;asm/efi.h&gt;") as well as the x86 parts of commit
f4f75ad5741f ("efi: efistub: Convert into static library").

The road leading to these two reverts is long and winding.

The above two commits were merged during the v3.17 merge window and
turned the common EFI boot stub code into a static library. This
necessitated making some symbols global in the x86 boot stub which
introduced new entries into the early boot GOT.

The problem was that we weren't fixing up the newly created GOT entries
before invoking the EFI boot stub, which sometimes resulted in hangs or
resets. This failure was reported by Maarten on his Macbook pro.

The proposed fix was commit 9cb0e394234d ("x86/efi: Fixup GOT in all
boot code paths"). However, that caused issues for Linus when booting
his Sony Vaio Pro 11. It was subsequently reverted in commit
f3670394c29f.

So that leaves us back with Maarten's Macbook pro not booting.

At this stage in the release cycle the least risky option is to revert
the x86 EFI boot stub to the pre-merge window code structure where we
explicitly #include efi-stub-helper.c instead of linking with the static
library. The arm64 code remains unaffected.

We can take another swing at the x86 parts for v3.18.

I did some debugging by enabling both serial and efi earlyprintk, below is

Quote reply from Lv.zheng about the early ioremap slot usage in this case:

"""
In early_efi_scroll_up(), 2 mapping entries will be used for the src/dst screen buffer.
In drivers/acpi/acpica/tbutils.c, we've improved the early table loading code in acpi_tb_parse_root_table().
We now need 2 mapping entries:
1. One mapping entry is used for RSDT table mapping. Each RSDT entry contains an address for another ACPI table.
2. For each entry in RSDP, we need another mapping entry to map the table to perform necessary check/override before installing it.

When acpi_tb_parse_root_table() prints something through EFI earlyprintk console, we'll have 4 mapping entries used.
The current 4 slots setting of early_ioremap() seems to be too small for such a use case.
"""

Thus increase the slot to 8 in this patch to fix this issue.
boot-time mappings become 512 page with this patch.

<title>Make ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER a real config variable</title>

It used to be an ad-hoc hack defined by the x86 version of
&lt;asm/bitops.h&gt; that enabled a couple of library routines to know whether
an integer multiply is faster than repeated shifts and additions.

This just makes it use the real Kconfig system instead, and makes x86
(which was the only architecture that did this) select the option.

NOTE! Even for x86, this really is kind of wrong.  If we cared, we would
probably not enable this for builds optimized for netburst (P4), where
shifts-and-adds are generally faster than multiplies.  This patch does
*not* change that kind of logic, though, it is purely a syntactic change
with no code changes.

This was triggered by the fact that we have other places that really
want to know "do I want to expand multiples by constants by hand or
not", particularly the hash generation code.

with no code changes.

This was triggered by the fact that we have other places that really
want to know "do I want to expand multiples by constants by hand or
not", particularly the hash generation code.

Pull Xen bug fixes from David Vrabel:
 - fix for PVHVM suspend/resume and migration
 - don't pointlessly retry certain ballooning ops
 - fix gntalloc when grefs have run out.
 - fix PV boot if KSALR is enable or very large modules are used.

When RANDOMIZE_BASE (KASLR) is enabled; or the sum of all loaded
modules exceeds 512 MiB, then loading modules fails with a warning
(and hence a vmalloc allocation failure) because the PTEs for the
newly-allocated vmalloc address space are not zero.

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 494 at linux/mm/vmalloc.c:128
           vmap_page_range_noflush+0x2a1/0x360()

This is caused by xen_setup_kernel_pagetables() copying
level2_kernel_pgt into level2_fixmap_pgt, overwriting many non-present
entries.

Without KASLR, the normal kernel image size only covers the first half
of level2_kernel_pgt and module space starts after that.

L4[511]-&gt;level3_kernel_pgt[510]-&gt;level2_kernel_pgt[  0..255]-&gt;kernel
                                                  [256..511]-&gt;module
                          [511]-&gt;level2_fixmap_pgt[  0..505]-&gt;module

This allows 512 MiB of of module vmalloc space to be used before
having to use the corrupted level2_fixmap_pgt entries.

With KASLR enabled, the kernel image uses the full PUD range of 1G and
module space starts in the level2_fixmap_pgt. So basically:

L4[511]-&gt;level3_kernel_pgt[510]-&gt;level2_kernel_pgt[0..511]-&gt;kernel
                          [511]-&gt;level2_fixmap_pgt[0..505]-&gt;module

And now no module vmalloc space can be used without using the corrupt
level2_fixmap_pgt entries.

Fix this by properly converting the level2_fixmap_pgt entries to MFNs,
and setting level1_fixmap_pgt as read-only.

A number of comments were also using the the wrong L3 offset for
level2_kernel_pgt.  These have been corrected.
