[GIT PULL] UEFI support for 32-bit ARM

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Hello all,

NOTE: this pull request is based on a stable, shared branch published
by the arm64 maintainers. This means that pulling the
arm32-efi-for-v4.5 tag will pull the following patches along with the
patches listed below:

f7d924894265 arm64/efi: refactor EFI init and runtime code for reuse
by 32-bit ARM
e5bc22a42e4d arm64/efi: split off EFI init and runtime code for reuse
by 32-bit ARM
4dffbfc48d65 arm64/efi: mark UEFI reserved regions as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP
68709f45385a arm64: only consider memblocks with NOMAP cleared for
linear mapping
bf3d3cc580f9 mm/memblock: add MEMBLOCK_NOMAP attribute to memblock memory table

@Will: please advise when you intend to send these to -next. Thanks.

  ARM: add UEFI stub support (2015-12-14 10:38:21 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
This implements UEFI kernel support for 32-bit ARM, based on the existing
arm64 support and existing generic early ioremap support. It is based on
commit f7d924894265 ("arm64/efi: refactor EFI init and runtime code for
reuse by 32-bit ARM"), which was pulled from the arm64 repo [1] as branch
'aarch64/efi'

I'll merge that branch into for-next/core today or tomorrow, so it will
appear in -next shortly after that.

Russell,

Could you please indicate whether or not, and when you intend to pull
these changes?

All prerequisites are in, including the arm64 changes that Will has
queued for 4.5

Thanks,
Ard.

Thanks for the reminder.  It didn't show up as a pull request for me
because it was addressed to rmk+pull not linux+pull as I had requested
pull requests to be.

linux+pull marks the message with a red background so it stands out
my the mailbox.

This pull request done in this way makes it _really_ difficult to
validate that I've pulled what was intended to be pulled.

The point of the diffstat is to be able to compare the resulting
diffstat from pulling the changes with the one in the message.  In
this case, because you've omitted some patches at the beginning of
the series, it doesn't match:

 29 files changed, 986 insertions(+), 368 deletions(-)

So I can't validate it.

Please send a replacement pull request which covers all the patches
you want me to merge into my tree, thanks.

  ARM: add UEFI stub support (2015-12-14 10:38:21 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
This implements UEFI kernel support for 32-bit ARM, based on the existing
arm64 support and existing generic early ioremap support. It is based on
commit f7d924894265 ("arm64/efi: refactor EFI init and runtime code for
reuse by 32-bit ARM"), which was pulled from the arm64 repo [1] as branch
'aarch64/efi'

I suppose the fact that none of this has turned up in -next implies
that it will not make v4.5?
Perfectly fine by me, as long as it is in the pipeline and hasn't
fallen between the cracks. Or if there are any remaining concerns,
please let me know.

Thanks,
Ard.

I pulled it into my devel-testing branch on 22nd, which is the
pre-cursor to it appearing in devel-stable (devel-stable is for
stuff which has passed my testing.)  I never got around to
merging it into devel-stable prior to the Christmas break.

I suspect even if I did publish it, we'd find that -next wouldn't
have picked it up - just before I took a break, I merged the PL011
changes which would conflict with those which GregKH incorrectly
picked up, and I know that linux-next hasn't reported any conflicts.
Ergo, linux-next has taken a break over the christmas period as well.

If Linus decides to do -rc8 tomorrow, I'll merge it into devel-stable
and it'll appear in -next.

Even if I merge it into my for-next branch _now_, it won't appear in
-next prior to Monday, and so if Sunday sees the release of v4.4, it
won't have been in -next prior to the merge window, and will be dodgy
to send to Linus (Linus sometimes compares what he merges against
linux-next.)

So... I'll decide on Monday what to do.
