<id>f8b8404337de4e2466e2e1139ea68b1f8295974f</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch reworks the UEFI anti-bricking code, including an effective
reversion of cc5a080c and 31ff2f20. It turns out that calling
QueryVariableInfo() from boot services results in some firmware
implementations jumping to physical addresses even after entering virtual
mode, so until we have 1:1 mappings for UEFI runtime space this isn't
going to work so well.

Reverting these gets us back to the situation where we'd refuse to create
variables on some systems because they classify deleted variables as "used"
until the firmware triggers a garbage collection run, which they won't do
until they reach a lower threshold. This results in it being impossible to
install a bootloader, which is unhelpful.

Feedback from Samsung indicates that the firmware doesn't need more than
5KB of storage space for its own purposes, so that seems like a reasonable
threshold. However, there's still no guarantee that a platform will attempt
garbage collection merely because it drops below this threshold. It seems
that this is often only triggered if an attempt to write generates a
genuine EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error. We can force that by attempting to
create a variable larger than the remaining space. This should fail, but if
it somehow succeeds we can then immediately delete it.

I've tested this on the UEFI machines I have available, but I don't have
a Samsung and so can't verify that it avoids the bricking problem.

     with 'record' and 'trace', by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

We do not enable counter overflow interrupts. Sampling mode and

Matt Fleming (1):
      x86, efivars: firmware bug workarounds should be in platform
      code

Matthew Garrett (3):
      Move utf16 functions to kernel core and rename
      efi: Pass boot services variable info to runtime code
      efi: Distinguish between "remaining space" and actually used
      space

Richard Weinberger (2):
      x86,efi: Check max_size only if it is non-zero.
      x86,efi: Implement efi_no_storage_paranoia parameter

Sergey Vlasov (2):
      x86/Kconfig: Make EFI select UCS2_STRING
      efi: Export efi_query_variable_store() for efivars.ko

Display residency in the new C-states, C8, C9, C10.

C8, C9, C10 are present on some:
"Fourth Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processors",
which are based on Intel(R) microarchitecture code name Haswell.

<title>efi: Pass boot services variable info to runtime code</title>

EFI variables can be flagged as being accessible only within boot services.
This makes it awkward for us to figure out how much space they use at
runtime. In theory we could figure this out by simply comparing the results
from QueryVariableInfo() to the space used by all of our variables, but
that fails if the platform doesn't garbage collect on every boot. Thankfully,
calling QueryVariableInfo() while still inside boot services gives a more
reliable answer. This patch passes that information from the EFI boot stub
up to the efi platform code.
