A race condition may occur if the user calls close() on another thread
during a write() operation on the device node of the efi capsule.

This is a race condition that occurs between the efi_capsule_write() and
efi_capsule_flush() functions of efi_capsule_fops, which ultimately
results in UAF.

So, the page freeing process is modified to be done in
efi_capsule_release() instead of efi_capsule_flush().

<content type='text'>
The EFI stub is a wrapper around the core kernel that makes it look like
a EFI compatible PE/COFF application to the EFI firmware. EFI
applications run on top of the EFI runtime, which is heavily based on
so-called protocols, which are struct types consisting [mostly] of
function pointer members that are instantiated and recorded in a
protocol database.

These structs look like the ideal randomization candidates to the
randstruct plugin (as they only carry function pointers), but of course,
these protocols are contracts between the firmware that exposes them,
and the EFI applications (including our stubbed kernel) that invoke
them. This means that struct randomization for EFI protocols is not a
great idea, and given that the stub shares very little data with the
core kernel that is represented as a randomizable struct, we're better
off just disabling it completely here.

 - Enabling the FPU is now a static_key

 - Improvements to the Svpbmt support

 - CPU topology bindings for a handful of systems

 - Support for systems with 64-bit hart IDs

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "As the diffstat shows, we've had lots of developments in a wide range
  at this time; the majority of changes are about ASoC, including
  subsystem-wide cleanups, continued SOF / Intel updates and a bunch of
  new drivers (as usual), while there have been some significant (but
  almost invisible) improvements in ALSA core side, too.

  Below are some highlights:

  Core:

   - Faster lookups of control elements with Xarray; normal user won't
     notice, but on the devices with tons of control elements, it can be
     visibly faster

   - Support for input validation for controls; this will harden for
     badly written drivers in general with a slight overhead

   - Deferred async signal handling for working around the potential
     deadlocks

   - Cleanup / refactoring raw MIDI locking code

  ASoC:

   - Restructing of the set_fmt() callbacks for making things clearer in
     situations like CODEC to CODEC links

   - Clean up and modernizing the DAI naming scheme setups

   - Merge of more of the Intel AVS driver stack, including some board
     integrations

   - New version 4 mechanism for communication with SOF DSPs

   - Suppoort for dynamically selecting the PLL to use at runtime on
     i.MX platforms

   - Improvements for CODEC to CODEC support in the generic cards

   - Support for AMD Jadeite and various machines, AMD RPL, Intel
     MetorLake DSPs, Mediatek MT8186 DSPs and MT6366, nVidia Tegra
     MDDRC, OPE and PEQ, NXP TFA9890, Qualcomm SDM845, WCD9335 and
     WAS883x, and Texas Instruments TAS2780

  HD- and USB-audio:

   - Continued improvement for CS35L41 (sub)codec support

Pull efivars sysfs interface removal from Ard Biesheuvel:
 "Remove the obsolete 'efivars' sysfs based interface to the EFI
  variable store, now that all users have moved to the efivarfs pseudo
  file system, which was created ~10 years ago to address some
  fundamental shortcomings in the sysfs based driver.

  Move the 'business logic' related to which EFI variables are important
  and may affect the boot flow from the efivars support layer into the
  efivarfs pseudo file system, so it is no longer exposed to other parts
  of the kernel"
