Pull x86 fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A single regression fix for x86:

  Moving the invocation of arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier in the boot
  process caused a boot regression on IBT enabled system.

  The root cause is not the move of arch_cpu_finalize_init() itself. The
  system fails to boot because the subsequent efi_enter_virtual_mode()
  code has a non-IBT safe EFI call inside. This was not noticed before
  because IBT was enabled after the EFI initialization.

  Switching the EFI call to use the IBT safe wrapper cures the problem"

Niklāvs reported a boot regression on an Alderlake machine and bisected it
to commit 9df9d2f0471b ("init: Invoke arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier").

By moving the invocation of arch_cpu_finalize_init() further down he
identified that efi_enter_virtual_mode() is the function which causes the
boot hang.

The main difference of the earlier invocation is that the boot CPU is
already fully initialized and mitigations and alternatives are applied.

But the only really interesting change turned out to be IBT, which is now
enabled before efi_enter_virtual_mode(). "ibt=off" on the kernel command
line cured the problem.

Inspection of the involved calls in efi_enter_virtual_mode() unearthed that
efi_set_virtual_address_map() is the only place in the kernel which invokes
an EFI call without the IBT safe wrapper. This went obviously unnoticed so
far as IBT was enabled later.

Use arch_efi_call_virt() instead of efi_call() to cure that.

efi_config_parse_tables() reserves memory that holds unaccepted memory
configuration table so it won't be reused by page allocator.

Core-mm requires few helpers to support unaccepted memory:

 - accept_memory() checks the range of addresses against the bitmap and
   accept memory if needed.

 - range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks if anything within the
   range requires acceptance.

Architectural code has to provide efi_get_unaccepted_table() that
returns pointer to the unaccepted memory configuration table.

arch_accept_memory() handles arch-specific part of memory acceptance.

When writing EFI variables, one might get errors with no other message
on why it fails. Being able to see how much is used by EFI variables
helps analyzing such issues.

Since this is not a conventional filesystem, block size is intentionally
set to 1 instead of PAGE_SIZE.

x86 quirks of reserved size are taken into account; so that available
and free size can be different, further helping debugging space issues.

With this patch, one can see the remaining space in EFI variable storage
via efivarfs, like this:

   $ df -h /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/
   Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
   efivarfs        176K  106K   66K  62% /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Mark arch_cpu_idle_dead() __noreturn, make all architectures &amp;
   drivers that did this inconsistently follow this new, common
   convention, and fix all the fallout that objtool can now detect
   statically

 - Fix/improve the ORC unwinder becoming unreliable due to
   UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY ambiguity, split it into UNWIND_HINT_END_OF_STACK
   and UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED to resolve it

 - Fix noinstr violations in the KCSAN code and the lkdtm/stackleak code

 - Generate ORC data for __pfx code

 - Add more __noreturn annotations to various kernel startup/shutdown
   and panic functions

 - Misc improvements &amp; fixes

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Mark arch_cpu_idle_dead() __noreturn, make all architectures &amp;
   drivers that did this inconsistently follow this new, common
   convention, and fix all the fallout that objtool can now detect
   statically

 - Fix/improve the ORC unwinder becoming unreliable due to
   UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY ambiguity, split it into UNWIND_HINT_END_OF_STACK
   and UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED to resolve it

 - Fix noinstr violations in the KCSAN code and the lkdtm/stackleak code

 - Generate ORC data for __pfx code

 - Add more __noreturn annotations to various kernel startup/shutdown
   and panic functions

 - Misc improvements &amp; fixes

Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning
up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more
closely match the structure of the source directories it describes.

All in-kernel references to the old paths have been updated.
