It seems that for whatever reason, gcc-10 ends up not inlining a couple
of functions that used to be inlined before.  Even if they only have one
single callsite - it looks like gcc may have decided that the code was
unlikely, and not worth inlining.

The code generation difference is harmless, but caused a few new section
mismatch errors, since the (now no longer inlined) function wasn't in
the __init section, but called other init functions:

   Section mismatch in reference from the function kexec_free_initrd() to the function .init.text:free_initrd_mem()
   Section mismatch in reference from the function tpm2_calc_event_log_size() to the function .init.text:early_memremap()
   Section mismatch in reference from the function tpm2_calc_event_log_size() to the function .init.text:early_memunmap()

So add the appropriate __init annotation to make modpost not complain.
In both cases there were trivially just a single callsite from another
__init function.

  The firmware changes did cause a regression in linux-next, so the

It is nice to allow compile-testing the firmware drivers, but this
fails when the dependency is a loadable module:

aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/firmware/imx/scu-pd.o: in function `imx_sc_pd_power':
scu-pd.c:(.text+0xd8): undefined reference to `imx_scu_call_rpc'

aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/firmware/imx/scu-pd.o: in function `imx_sc_pd_probe':

Change the dependencies to ensure that any driver we depend on is
either reachable or we are compile-testing and it is disabled,
effectively reverting most of the previous changes that turned
out to be incorrect.

Arnd reports that commit

  9302c1bb8e47 ("efi/libstub: Rewrite file I/O routine")

reworks the file I/O routines in a way that triggers the following
warning:

  drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/file.c:240:1: warning: the frame size
            of 1200 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

We can work around this issue dropping an instance of efi_char16_t[256]
from the stack frame, and reusing the 'filename' field of the file info
struct that we use to obtain file information from EFI (which contains
the file name even though we already know it since we used it to open
the file in the first place)

Commit

  d5cdf4cfeac9 ("efi/x86: Don't relocate the kernel unless necessary")

tries to avoid relocating the kernel in the EFI stub as far as possible.

However, when systemd-boot is used to boot a unified kernel image [1],
the image is constructed by embedding the bzImage as a .linux section in
a PE executable that contains a small stub loader from systemd that will
call the EFI stub handover entry, together with additional sections and
potentially an initrd. When this image is constructed, by for example
dracut, the initrd is placed after the bzImage without ensuring that at
least init_size bytes are available for the bzImage. If the kernel is
not relocated by the EFI stub, this could result in the compressed
kernel's startup code in head_{32,64}.S overwriting the initrd.

To prevent this, unconditionally relocate the kernel if the EFI stub was
entered via the handover entry point.

Commit

  3ee372ccce4d ("x86/boot/compressed/64: Remove .bss/.pgtable from bzImage")

removed the .bss section from the bzImage.

However, while a PE loader is required to zero-initialize the .bss
section before calling the PE entry point, the EFI handover protocol
does not currently document any requirement that .bss be initialized by
the bootloader prior to calling the handover entry.

When systemd-boot is used to boot a unified kernel image [1], the image
is constructed by embedding the bzImage as a .linux section in a PE
executable that contains a small stub loader from systemd together with
additional sections and potentially an initrd. As the .bss section
within the bzImage is no longer explicitly present as part of the file,
it is not initialized before calling the EFI handover entry.
Furthermore, as the size of the embedded .linux section is only the size
of the bzImage file itself, the .bss section's memory may not even have
been allocated.

In particular, this can result in efi_disable_pci_dma being true even
when it was not specified via the command line or configuration option,
which in turn causes crashes while booting on some systems.

To avoid issues, place all EFI stub global variables into the .data
section instead of .bss. As of this writing, only boolean flags for a
few command line arguments and the sys_table pointer were in .bss and
will now move into the .data section.

The pointer hdr is being assigned a value that is never read and
it is being updated later with a new value. The assignment is
redundant and can be removed.

Since snprintf() returns the would-be-output size instead of the
actual output size, the succeeding calls may go beyond the given
buffer limit.  Fix it by replacing with scnprintf().
