Merge branch 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle were: - Cleanup of the GOP [graphics output] handling code in the EFI stub - Complete refactoring of the mixed mode handling in the x86 EFI stub - Overhaul of the x86 EFI boot/runtime code - Increase robustness for mixed mode code - Add the ability to disable DMA at the root port level in the EFI stub - Get rid of RWX mappings in the EFI memory map and page tables, where possible - Move the support code for the old EFI memory mapping style into its only user, the SGI UV1+ support code. - plus misc fixes, updates, smaller cleanups. ... and due to interactions with the RWX changes, another round of PAT cleanups make a guest appearance via the EFI tree - with no side effects intended" * 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (75 commits) efi/x86: Disable instrumentation in the EFI runtime handling code efi/libstub/x86: Fix EFI server boot failure efi/x86: Disallow efi=old_map in mixed mode x86/boot/compressed: Relax sed symbol type regex for LLVM ld.lld efi/x86: avoid KASAN false positives when accessing the 1: 1 mapping efi: Fix handling of multiple efi_fake_mem= entries efi: Fix efi_memmap_alloc() leaks efi: Add tracking for dynamically allocated memmaps efi: Add a flags parameter to efi_memory_map efi: Fix comment for efi_mem_type() wrt absent physical addresses efi/arm: Defer probe of PCIe backed efifb on DT systems efi/x86: Limit EFI old memory map to SGI UV machines efi/x86: Avoid RWX mappings for all of DRAM efi/x86: Don't map the entire kernel text RW for mixed mode x86/mm: Fix NX bit clearing issue in kernel_map_pages_in_pgd efi/libstub/x86: Fix unused-variable warning efi/libstub/x86: Use mandatory 16-byte stack alignment in mixed mode efi/libstub/x86: Use const attribute for efi_is_64bit() efi: Allow disabling PCI busmastering on bridges during boot efi/x86: Allow translating 64-bit arguments for mixed mode calls ...
