Subject: [PATCH] efi/x86: Align GUIDs to their size in the mixed mode runtime
wrapper

Hans reports that his mixed mode systems running v5.6-rc1 kernels hit the WARN_ON() in virt_to_phys_or_null_size(), caused by the fact that efi_guid_t objects on the vmap'ed stack happen to be misaligned with respect to their sizes. As a quick (i.e., backportable) fix, copy GUID pointer arguments to the local stack into a buffer that is naturally aligned to its size, so that it is guaranteed to cover only one physical page.

Note that on x86, we cannot rely on the stack pointer being aligned the way the compiler expects, so we need to allocate an 8-byte aligned buffer of sufficient size, and copy the GUID into that buffer at an offset that is aligned to 16 bytes.

Fixes f6697df36bdf0bf7 ("x86/efi: Prevent mixed mode boot corruption with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y")
