EFI capsule loading is a feature that was introduced into EFI long after
its initial introduction on Itanium, and it is highly unlikely that IA64
systems are receiving firmware updates in the first place, let alone
using EFI capsules.

So let's disable capsule support altogether on IA64. This fixes a build
error on IA64 due to a recent change that added an unconditional
include of asm/efi.h, which IA64 does not provide.

While at it, tweak the make rules a bit so that the EFI capsule
component that is always builtin (even if the EFI capsule loader itself
is built as a module) is omitted for all architectures if the module is
not enabled in the build.

<title>efi: generalize efi_get_secureboot</title>

<content type='text'>
Generalize the efi_get_secureboot() function so not only efistub but also
other subsystems can use it.

Note that the MokSbState handling is not factored out: the variable is
boot time only, and so it cannot be parameterized as easily. Also, the
IMA code will switch to this version in a future patch, and it does not
incorporate the MokSbState exception in the first place.

Note that the new efi_get_secureboot_mode() helper treats any failures
to read SetupMode as setup mode being disabled.

The worker thread that gets kicked off to sync the state of the
EFI variable list is only used by the EFI pstore implementation,
and is defined in its source file. So let's move its scheduling
there as well. Since our efivar_init() scan will bail on duplicate
entries, there is no need to disable the workqueue like we did
before, so we can run it unconditionally.

The EFI pstore implementation relies on the 'efivars' abstraction,
which encapsulates the EFI variable store in a way that can be
overridden by other backing stores, like the Google SMI one.

On top of that, the EFI pstore implementation also relies on the
efivars.ko module, which is a separate layer built on top of the
'efivars' abstraction that exposes the [deprecated] sysfs entries
for each variable that exists in the backing store.

Since the efivars.ko module is deprecated, and all users appear to
have moved to the efivarfs file system instead, let's prepare for
its removal, by removing EFI pstore's dependency on it.

<title>efi: Support for MOK variable config table</title>

<id>58c909022a5a56cd1d9e89c8c5461fd1f6a27bb5</id>
<content type='text'>
Because of system-specific EFI firmware limitations, EFI volatile
variables may not be capable of holding the required contents of
the Machine Owner Key (MOK) certificate store when the certificate
list grows above some size. Therefore, an EFI boot loader may pass
the MOK certs via a EFI configuration table created specifically for
this purpose to avoid this firmware limitation.

An EFI configuration table is a much more primitive mechanism
compared to EFI variables and is well suited for one-way passage
of static information from a pre-OS environment to the kernel.

This patch adds initial kernel support to recognize, parse,
and validate the EFI MOK configuration table, where named
entries contain the same data that would otherwise be provided
in similarly named EFI variables.

Additionally, this patch creates a sysfs binary file for each
EFI MOK configuration table entry found. These files are read-only
to root and are provided for use by user space utilities such as
mokutil.

A subsequent patch will load MOK certs into the trusted platform
key ring using this infrastructure.

  bf67fad19e493b ("efi: Use more granular check for availability for variable services")

introduced a check into the efivarfs, efi-pstore and other drivers that
aborts loading of the module if not all three variable runtime services
(GetVariable, SetVariable and GetNextVariable) are supported. However, this
results in efivarfs being unavailable entirely if only SetVariable support
is missing, which is only needed if you want to make any modifications.
Also, efi-pstore and the sysfs EFI variable interface could be backed by
another implementation of the 'efivars' abstraction, in which case it is
completely irrelevant which services are supported by the EFI firmware.

So make the generic 'efivars' abstraction dependent on the availibility of
the GetVariable and GetNextVariable EFI runtime services, and add a helper
'efivar_supports_writes()' to find out whether the currently active efivars
abstraction supports writes (and wire it up to the availability of
SetVariable for the generic one).

Then, use the efivar_supports_writes() helper to decide whether to permit
efivarfs to be mounted read-write, and whether to enable efi-pstore or the
sysfs EFI variable interface altogether.
