Merge the state of the locking kcsan branch before the read/write_once()
and the atomics modifications got merged.

Squash the fallout of the rebase on top of the read/write once and atomic
fallback work into the merge. The history of the original branch is
preserved in tag locking-kcsan-2020-06-02.

saved_max_pfn was originally introduced in commit

  92aa63a5a1bf ("[PATCH] kdump: Retrieve saved max pfn")

It used to make sure that the user does not try to read the physical memory
beyond saved_max_pfn. But since commit

  921d58c0e699 ("vmcore: remove saved_max_pfn check")

it's no longer used for the check. This variable doesn't have any users
anymore so just remove it.

<title>x86/kexec: Do not reserve EFI setup_data in the kexec e820 table</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8efbc518b884e1db2dd6a6fce62d0112ab871dcf</id>
<content type='text'>
The e820 table for the kexec kernel unconditionally marks setup_data as
reserved because the second kernel can reuse setup_data passed by the
1st kernel's boot loader, for example SETUP_PCI marked regions like PCI
BIOS, etc.

SETUP_EFI types, however, are used by kexec itself to enable EFI in the
2nd kernel. Thus, it is pointless to add this type of setup_data to the
kexec e820 table as reserved.

IOW, what happens is this:

  -  1st physical boot: no SETUP_EFI.

  - kexec loads a new kernel and prepares a SETUP_EFI setup_data blob, then
  reboots the machine.

  - 2nd kernel sees SETUP_EFI, reserves it both in the e820 and in the
  kexec e820 table.

  - If another kexec load is executed, it prepares a new SETUP_EFI blob and
  then reboots the machine into the new kernel.

  5. The 3rd kexec-ed kernel has two SETUP_EFI ranges reserved. And so on...

Thus skip SETUP_EFI while reserving setup_data in the e820_table_kexec
table because it is not needed.

<title>x86/boot: Introduce setup_indirect</title>

<content type='text'>
The setup_data is a bit awkward to use for extremely large data objects,
both because the setup_data header has to be adjacent to the data object
and because it has a 32-bit length field. However, it is important that
intermediate stages of the boot process have a way to identify which
chunks of memory are occupied by kernel data. Thus introduce an uniform
way to specify such indirect data as setup_indirect struct and
SETUP_INDIRECT type.

And finally bump setup_header version in arch/x86/boot/header.S.

<title>x86/efi: EFI soft reservation to E820 enumeration</title>

<id>urn:sha1:262b45ae3ab4bf8e2caf1fcfd0d8307897519630</id>
<content type='text'>
UEFI 2.8 defines an EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute bit to augment the
interpretation of the EFI Memory Types as "reserved for a specific
purpose".

The proposed Linux behavior for specific purpose memory is that it is
reserved for direct-access (device-dax) by default and not available for
any kernel usage, not even as an OOM fallback.  Later, through udev
scripts or another init mechanism, these device-dax claimed ranges can
be reconfigured and hot-added to the available System-RAM with a unique
node identifier. This device-dax management scheme implements "soft" in
the "soft reserved" designation by allowing some or all of the
reservation to be recovered as typical memory. This policy can be
disabled at compile-time with CONFIG_EFI_SOFT_RESERVE=n, or runtime with
efi=nosoftreserve.

This patch introduces 2 new concepts at once given the entanglement
between early boot enumeration relative to memory that can optionally be
reserved from the kernel page allocator by default. The new concepts
are:

- E820_TYPE_SOFT_RESERVED: Upon detecting the EFI_MEMORY_SP
  attribute on EFI_CONVENTIONAL memory, update the E820 map with this
  new type. Only perform this classification if the
  CONFIG_EFI_SOFT_RESERVE=y policy is enabled, otherwise treat it as
  typical ram.

- IORES_DESC_SOFT_RESERVED: Add a new I/O resource descriptor for
  a device driver to search iomem resources for application specific
  memory. Teach the iomem code to identify such ranges as "Soft Reserved".

Note that the comment for do_add_efi_memmap() needed refreshing since it
seemed to imply that the efi map might overflow the e820 table, but that
is not an issue as of commit 7b6e4ba3cb1f "x86/boot/e820: Clean up the
E820_X_MAX definition" that removed the 128 entry limit for
e820__range_add().

A follow-on change integrates parsing of the ACPI HMAT to identify the
node and sub-range boundaries of EFI_MEMORY_SP designated memory. For
now, just identify and reserve memory of this type.

<title>x86/e820, ioport: Add a new I/O resource descriptor IORES_DESC_RESERVED</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ae9e13d621d6795ec1ad6bf10bd2549c6c3feca4</id>
<content type='text'>
When executing the kexec_file_load() syscall, the first kernel needs to
pass the e820 reserved ranges to the second kernel because some devices
(PCI, for example) need them present in the kdump kernel for proper
initialization.

But the kernel can not exactly match the e820 reserved ranges when
walking through the iomem resources using the default IORES_DESC_NONE
descriptor, because there are several types of e820 ranges which are
marked IORES_DESC_NONE, see e820_type_to_iores_desc().

Therefore, add a new I/O resource descriptor called IORES_DESC_RESERVED
to mark exactly those ranges. It will be used to match the reserved
resource ranges when walking through iomem resources.

pfn_valid check is not sufficient because it only checks if a page has a struct
page or not, if "mem=" was passed to the kernel some valid pages won't have a
struct page. This means that if guests were assigned valid memory that lies
after the mem= boundary it will be passed uncached to the guest no matter what
the guest caching attributes are for this memory.

Introduce a new function e820__mapped_raw_any which is equivalent to
e820__mapped_any but uses the original e820 unmodified and use it to
identify real *RAM*.
