The following commit:

  a893ea15d764 ("tpm: move tpm_chip definition to include/linux/tpm.h")

introduced a build error when both IMA and EFI are enabled:

    In file included from ../security/integrity/ima/ima_fs.c:30:
    ../security/integrity/ima/ima.h:176:7: error: redeclaration of enumerator "NONE"

What happens is that both headers (ima.h and efi.h) defines the same
'NONE' constant, and it broke when they started getting included from
the same file:

Rework to prefix the EFI enum with 'EFI_*'.

<content type='text'>
Currently, irqflags are saved before calling runtime services and
checked for mismatch on return.

Provide a pair of overridable macros to save and restore (if needed) the
state that need to be preserved on return from a runtime service.
This allows to check for flags that are not necesarly related to
irqflags.

The following commit:

  9dbbedaa6171 ("efi: Make efi_rts_work accessible to efi page fault handler")

converted 'efi_rts_work' from an auto variable to a global variable.
However, when submitting the work, INIT_WORK_ONSTACK() was still used,
causing the following complaint from debugobjects:

  ODEBUG: object 00000000ed27b500 is NOT on stack 00000000c7d38760, but annotated.

Change the macro to just INIT_WORK() to eliminate the warning.

<content type='text'>
Memory accesses performed by UEFI runtime services should be limited to:
- reading/executing from EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_CODE memory regions
- reading/writing from/to EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA memory regions
- reading/writing by-ref arguments
- reading/writing from/to the stack.

Accesses outside these regions may cause the kernel to hang because the
memory region requested by the firmware isn't mapped in efi_pgd, which
causes a page fault in ring 0 and the kernel fails to handle it, leading
to die(). To save kernel from hanging, add an EFI specific page fault
handler which recovers from such faults by
1. If the efi runtime service is efi_reset_system(), reboot the machine
   through BIOS.
2. If the efi runtime service is _not_ efi_reset_system(), then freeze
   efi_rts_wq and schedule a new process.

The EFI page fault handler offers us two advantages:
1. Avoid potential hangs caused by buggy firmware.
2. Shout loud that the firmware is buggy and hence is not a kernel bug.

<content type='text'>
After the kernel has booted, if any accesses by firmware causes a page
fault, the efi page fault handler would freeze efi_rts_wq and schedules
a new process. To do this, the efi page fault handler needs
efi_rts_work. Hence, make it accessible.

There will be no race conditions in accessing this structure, because
all the calls to efi runtime services are already serialized.

<title>efi: Use a work queue to invoke EFI Runtime Services</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3eb420e70d879ce0e6bf752accf5cdedb0a59de8</id>
<content type='text'>
Presently, when a user process requests the kernel to execute any
UEFI runtime service, the kernel temporarily switches to a separate
set of page tables that describe the virtual mapping of the UEFI
runtime services regions in memory. Since UEFI runtime services are
typically invoked with interrupts enabled, any code that may be called
during this time, will have an incorrect view of the process's address
space. Although it is unusual for code running in interrupt context to
make assumptions about the process context it runs in, there are cases
(such as the perf subsystem taking samples) where this causes problems.

So let's set up a work queue for calling UEFI runtime services, so that
the actual calls are made when the work queue items are dispatched by a
work queue worker running in a separate kernel thread. Such threads are
not expected to have userland mappings in the first place, and so the
additional mappings created for the UEFI runtime services can never
clash with any.

The ResetSystem() runtime service is not covered by the work queue
handling, since it is not expected to return, and may be called at a
time when the kernel is torn down to the point where we cannot expect
work queues to still be operational.

The non-blocking variants of SetVariable() and QueryVariableInfo()
are also excluded: these are intended to be used from atomic context,
which obviously rules out waiting for a completion to be signalled by
another thread. Note that these variants are currently only used for
UEFI runtime services calls that occur very early in the boot, and
for ones that occur in critical conditions, e.g., to flush kernel logs
to UEFI variables via efi-pstore.

<title>efi: Replace runtime services spinlock with semaphore</title>

<content type='text'>
The purpose of the efi_runtime_lock is to prevent concurrent calls into
the firmware. There is no need to use spinlocks here, as long as we ensure
that runtime service invocations from an atomic context (i.e., EFI pstore)
cannot block.

So use a semaphore instead, and use down_trylock() in the nonblocking case.
We don't use a mutex here because the mutex_trylock() function must not
be called from interrupt context, whereas the down_trylock() can.
