Pull EFI fixes from Ard Biesheuvel:
 "The only notable change here is the patch that changes the way we deal
  with spurious errors from the EFI memory attribute protocol. This will
  be backported to v6.6, and is intended to ensure that we will not
  paint ourselves into a corner when we tighten this further in order to
  comply with MS requirements on signed EFI code.

  Note that this protocol does not currently exist in x86 production
  systems in the field, only in Microsoft's fork of OVMF, but it will be
  mandatory for Windows logo certification for x86 PCs in the future.

   - Tighten ELF relocation checks on the RISC-V EFI stub

   - Give up if the new EFI memory attributes protocol fails spuriously
     on x86

   - Take care not to place the kernel in the lowest 16 MB of DRAM on
     x86

   - Omit special purpose EFI memory from memblock

   - Some fixes for the CXL CPER reporting code

   - Make the PE/COFF layout of mixed-mode capable images comply with a
     strict interpretation of the spec"

Jonathan reports that CXL CPER events dump an extra generic error
message.

	{1}[Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 1
	{1}[Hardware Error]: event severity: recoverable
	{1}[Hardware Error]:  Error 0, type: recoverable
	{1}[Hardware Error]:   section type: unknown, fbcd0a77-c260-417f-85a9-088b1621eba6
	{1}[Hardware Error]:   section length: 0x90
	{1}[Hardware Error]:   00000000: 00000090 00000007 00000000 0d938086 ................
	{1}[Hardware Error]:   00000010: 00100000 00000000 00040000 00000000 ................
	...

CXL events were rerouted though the CXL subsystem for additional
processing.  However, when that work was done it was missed that
cper_estatus_print_section() continued with a generic error message
which is confusing.

Teach CPER print code to ignore printing details of some section types.
Assign the CXL event GUIDs to this set to prevent confusing unknown
prints.

<title>x86/efistub: Avoid placing the kernel below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR</title>

<content type='text'>
The EFI stub's kernel placement logic randomizes the physical placement
of the kernel by taking all available memory into account, and picking a
region at random, based on a random seed.

When KASLR is disabled, this seed is set to 0x0, and this results in the
lowest available region of memory to be selected for loading the kernel,
even if this is below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR. Some of this memory is
typically reserved for the GFP_DMA region, to accommodate masters that
can only access the first 16 MiB of system memory.

Even if such devices are rare these days, we may still end up with a
warning in the kernel log, as reported by Tom:

 swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0

Fix this by tweaking the random allocation logic to accept a low bound
on the placement, and set it to LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR.

Fixes: a1b87d54f4e4 ("x86/efistub: Avoid legacy decompressor when doing EFI boot")

Pull drm fixes from Dave Airlie:
 "Lots going on for rc2, ivpu has a bunch of stabilisation and debugging
  work, then amdgpu and xe are the main fixes. i915, exynos have a few,
  then some misc panel and bridge fixes.

  Worth mentioning are three regressions. One of the nouveau fixes in
  6.7 for a serious deadlock had side effects, so I guess we will bring
  back the deadlock until I can figure out what should be done properly.
  There was a scheduler regression vs amdgpu which was reported in a few
  places and is now fixed. There was an i915 vs simpledrm problem
  resulting in black screens, that is reverted also.

  I'll be working on a proper nouveau fix, it kinda looks like one of
  those cases where someone tried to use an atomic where they should
  have probably used a lock, but I'll see.

The recently introduced EFI memory attributes protocol should be used
if it exists to ensure that the memory allocation created for the kernel
permits execution. This is needed for compatibility with tightened
requirements related to Windows logo certification for x86 PCs.

Currently, we simply strip the execute protect (XP) attribute from the
entire range, but this might be rejected under some firmware security
policies, and so in a subsequent patch, this will be changed to only
strip XP from the executable region that runs early, and make it
read-only (RO) as well.

In order to catch any issues early, ensure that the memory attribute
protocol works as intended, and give up if it produces spurious errors.

Note that the DXE services based fallback was always based on best
effort, so don't propagate any errors returned by that API.

Fixes: a1b87d54f4e4 ("x86/efistub: Avoid legacy decompressor when doing EFI boot")

Arm FF-A fixes for v6.8

Quite a few fixes addressing issues around missing RW lock initialisation
in ffa_setup_partitions(), missing check for xa_load() return value,
use of xa_insert instead of xa_store to flag case of duplicate insertion.
It also simplifies ffa_partitions_cleanup() with xa_for_each() and xa_erase()
instead of xa_extract() and kfree(). Finally it includes fixes around
handling of partitions setup failures during initialisation.

* tag 'ffa-fixes-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sudeep.holla/linux:
  firmware: arm_ffa: Handle partitions setup failures
  firmware: arm_ffa: Use xa_insert() and check for result

<title>Revert "drivers/firmware: Move sysfb_init() from device_initcall to subsys_initcall_sync"</title>

This reverts commit 60aebc9559492cea6a9625f514a8041717e3a2e4.

Commit 60aebc9559492cea ("drivers/firmware: Move sysfb_init() from
device_initcall to subsys_initcall_sync") messes up initialization order
of the graphics drivers and leads to blank displays on some systems. So
revert the commit.

To make the display drivers fully independent from initialization
order requires to track framebuffer memory by device and independently
from the loaded drivers. The kernel currently lacks the infrastructure
to do so.
