[PATCH 0/2] efi: simplify property table handling on ARM

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Instead of sorting the memory map and comparing the placement and
type of adjacent entries in the EFI memory map, which was implemented
to prevent breakage when the pointless and deprecated UEFI property
table feature is provided by the firmware, boot with a 1:1 mapping
for runtime services in this case, which works around the issue as
well.

Also, move the code that handles this feature into arch/x86, which
is the only architecture which is known to have shipped systems with
this feature enabled.

[PATCH 1/2] efi/arm64: use 1:1 mapping of RT services if property table exists

[Ard Biesheuvel]

The UEFI spec defines (and deprecates) a misguided and shortlived
memory protection feature that is based on splitting memory regions
covering PE/COFF executables into separate code and data regions,
without annotating them as belonging to the same executable image.
When the OS assigns the virtual addresses of these regions, it may
move them around arbitrarily, without taking into account that the
PE/COFF code sections may contain relative references into the data
sections, which means the relative placement of these segments has
to be preserved or the executable image will be corrupt.

The original workaround on arm64 was to ensure that adjacent regions
of the same type were mapped adjacently in the virtual mapping, but
this requires sorting of the memory map, which we would prefer to
avoid.

Considering that we have recently added the option to simply reuse
the firmware's 1:1 mapping at runtime, let's do the same for systems
where this memory protection feature is implemented, and drop the
sorting and associated checks when creating the virtual mapping.

[PATCH 2/2] efi: move handling of properties table to x86 specific code

[Ard Biesheuvel]

The EFI properties table defines only a single property called
EFI_PROPERTIES_RUNTIME_MEMORY_PROTECTION_NON_EXECUTABLE_PE_DATA which
was deprecated almost immediately after it was defined, given that
splitting EFI runtime code regions into code and data segments is not
generally possible because the OS may apply a virtual mapping that
corrupts relative references between those segments. Instead, a new
memory attributes table has been defined that supersedes this feature.

Some x86 implementations of this property are known to exist in the field,
and the x86 EFI support code actually takes this property into account if
no memory attributes table is provided, but on other architectures, the
property is ignored entirely. So let's move the code that supports this
feature into the arch/x86 tree.

[PATCH 2/2] efi: move handling of properties table to x86 specific code

[Ard Biesheuvel]

The EFI properties table defines only a single property called
EFI_PROPERTIES_RUNTIME_MEMORY_PROTECTION_NON_EXECUTABLE_PE_DATA which
was deprecated almost immediately after it was defined, given that
splitting EFI runtime code regions into code and data segments is not
generally possible because the OS may apply a virtual mapping that
corrupts relative references between those segments. Instead, a new
memory attributes table has been defined that supersedes this feature.

Some x86 implementations of this property are known to exist in the field,
and the x86 EFI support code actually takes this property into account if
no memory attributes table is provided, but on other architectures, the
property is ignored entirely. So let's move the code that supports this
feature into the arch/x86 tree.
