asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

<title>[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out</title>

<content type='text'>
no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\&lt;no_llseek\&gt;/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

Since the debugfs_create_dir() never returns a null pointer, checking
the return value for a null pointer is redundant, and using IS_ERR is
safe enough.

<content type='text'>
The TPM event log table is a Linux specific construct, where the data
produced by the GetEventLog() boot service is cached in memory, and
passed on to the OS using an EFI configuration table.

The use of EFI_LOADER_DATA here results in the region being left
unreserved in the E820 memory map constructed by the EFI stub, and this
is the memory description that is passed on to the incoming kernel by
kexec, which is therefore unaware that the region should be reserved.

Even though the utility of the TPM2 event log after a kexec is
questionable, any corruption might send the parsing code off into the
weeds and crash the kernel. So let's use EFI_ACPI_RECLAIM_MEMORY
instead, which is always treated as reserved by the E820 conversion
logic.

Make accept_memory() and range_contains_unaccepted_memory() take 'start'
and 'size' arguments instead of 'start' and 'end'.

Remove accept_page(), replacing it with direct calls to accept_memory(). 
The accept_page() name is going to be used for a different function.

Currently, cper_print_pcie() only logs Uncorrectable Error Status, Mask
and Severity registers along with the TLP header.

If a correctable error is received immediately preceding or following an
Uncorrectable Fatal Error, its information is lost since Correctable
Error Status and Mask registers are not logged.

As such, to avoid skipping any possible error information, Correctable
Error Status and Mask registers should also be logged.

Additionally, ensure that AER information is also available through
cper_print_pcie() for Correctable and Uncorrectable Non-Fatal Errors.

Add support for the stackleak feature. Whenever the kernel returns to user
space the kernel stack is filled with a poison value.

At the same time, disables the plugin in EFI stub code because EFI stub
is out of scope for the protection.

Tested on qemu and milkv duo:
