v2 cover Fix ACPI BGRT support for images located in EFI boot services memory

The ACPI BGRT lets the OS access the BIOS logo image and its position on the screen at boot time, allowing it to maintain that image on the screen until ready to display something else, making boot more seamless. This series fixes support for accessing the boot logo image via the BGRT when the BIOS stores it in EFI boot services memory, as recommended by the ACPI 5.0 spec. Linux needs to copy the image out of boot services memory before reclaiming boot services memory.

The first patch cleans up the existing x86-specific efi_enter_virtual_mode function to have a stub version on non-x86 platforms, to eliminate an ifdef in
init/main.c. The second patch refactors EFI initialization to defer freeing
boot services memory until much later in the boot process, and in particular until after we have ACPI available. The third patch adds a helper function to look up existing EFI boot services mappings, to avoid re-mapping them. The fourth patch moves BGRT initialization to before the reclamation of boot services memory, copies the logo at that point, and reworks the existing BGRT driver to use that existing copy.

v2: Made the new internal function efi_unmap_memmap static. Incorporated
feedback from H. Peter Anvin and Matt Fleming: added stubs for x86-specific EFI functions called from init/main.c to eliminate the corresponding ifdefs in start_kernel; deferred efi_free_boot_services even later, to just before free_initmem.

PATCH v2 2/4 efi: Defer freeing boot services memory until freeing __init memory

In reply to Josh Triplett

Some new ACPI 5.0 tables reference resources stored in boot services memory, so keep that memory around until we have ACPI and can extract data from it.

PATCH v2 3/4 efi: Add a function to look up existing IO memory mappings

In reply to Josh Triplett

The EFI initialization creates virtual mappings for EFI boot services memory, so if a driver wants to access EFI boot services memory, it cannot call ioremap itself; doing so will trip the WARN about mapping RAM twice. Thus, a driver accessing EFI boot services memory must do so via the existing mapping already created during EFI intiialization. Since the EFI code already maintains a memory map for that memory, add a function efi_lookup_mapped_addr to look up mappings in that memory map.

PATCH v2 4/4 efi: Fix the ACPI BGRT driver for images located in EFI boot services memory

In reply to Josh Triplett

The ACPI BGRT driver accesses the BIOS logo image when it initializes. However, ACPI 5.0 (which introduces the BGRT) recommends putting the logo image in EFI boot services memory, so that the OS can reclaim that memory. Production systems follow this recommendation, breaking the ACPI BGRT driver.

Move the bulk of the BGRT code to run during a new EFI late initialization phase, which occurs after switching EFI to virtual mode, and after initializing ACPI, but before freeing boot services memory. Copy the BIOS logo image to kernel memory at that point, and make it accessible to the BGRT driver. Rework the existing ACPI BGRT driver to act as a simple wrapper exposing that image (and the properties from the BGRT) via sysfs.

Argh, looks like I missed something important in testing: a WARN from check_early_ioremap_leak. Looks like moving the reclamation of the EFI memory map that late makes check_early_ioremap_leak figure that it won't get reclaimed at all.

As far as I can tell, ioremap won't work that early; EFI really does need to use early_ioremap. Since at the moment we don't seem to have any other drivers that need to access boot services memory, any objection to moving efi_free_boot_services back to just after ACPI?
