[ Upstream commit 0303c9729afc4094ef53e552b7b8cff7436028d6 ]

Niklāvs reported a boot regression on an Alderlake machine and bisected it
to commit 9df9d2f0471b ("init: Invoke arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier").

By moving the invocation of arch_cpu_finalize_init() further down he
identified that efi_enter_virtual_mode() is the function which causes the
boot hang.

The main difference of the earlier invocation is that the boot CPU is
already fully initialized and mitigations and alternatives are applied.

But the only really interesting change turned out to be IBT, which is now
enabled before efi_enter_virtual_mode(). "ibt=off" on the kernel command
line cured the problem.

Inspection of the involved calls in efi_enter_virtual_mode() unearthed that
efi_set_virtual_address_map() is the only place in the kernel which invokes
an EFI call without the IBT safe wrapper. This went obviously unnoticed so
far as IBT was enabled later.

Use arch_efi_call_virt() instead of efi_call() to cure that.

Fixes: fe379fa4d199 ("x86/ibt: Disable IBT around firmware")
Fixes: 9df9d2f0471b ("init: Invoke arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier")

Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning
up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more
closely match the structure of the source directories it describes.

All in-kernel references to the old paths have been updated.

<title>x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in two</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=fb799447ae2974a07907906dff5bd4b9e47b7123'/>
<id>urn:sha1:fb799447ae2974a07907906dff5bd4b9e47b7123</id>
<content type='text'>
Mark reported that the ORC unwinder incorrectly marks an unwind as
reliable when the unwind terminates prematurely in the dark corners of
return_to_handler() due to lack of information about the next frame.

The problem is UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY is used in two different situations:

  1) The end of the kernel stack unwind before hitting user entry, boot
     code, or fork entry

  2) A blind spot in ORC coverage where the unwinder has to bail due to
     lack of information about the next frame

The ORC unwinder has no way to tell the difference between the two.
When it encounters an undefined stack state with 'end=1', it blindly
marks the stack reliable, which can break the livepatch consistency
model.

Fix it by splitting UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY into UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED and
UNWIND_HINT_END_OF_STACK.

UEFI v2.10 extends the EFI memory attributes table with a flag that
indicates whether or not all RuntimeServicesCode regions were
constructed with ENDBR landing pads, permitting the OS to map these
regions with IBT restrictions enabled.

So let's take this into account on x86 as well.

<content type='text'>
We currently pass a minimum major version to the generic EFI helper that
checks the system table magic and version, and refuse to boot if the
value is lower.

The motivation for this check is unknown, and even the code that uses
major version 2 as the minimum (ARM, arm64 and RISC-V) should make it
past this check without problems, and boot to a point where we have
access to a console or some other means to inform the user that the
firmware's major revision number made us unhappy. (Revision 2.0 of the
UEFI specification was released in January 2006, whereas ARM, arm64 and
RISC-V support where added in 2009, 2013 and 2017, respectively, so
checking for major version 2 or higher is completely arbitrary)

So just drop the check.

Pull PCI updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Enumeration:

   - Squash portdrv_{core,pci}.c into portdrv.c to ease maintenance and
     make more things static.

   - Make portdrv bind to Switch Ports that have AER. Previously, if
     these Ports lacked MSI/MSI-X, portdrv failed to bind, which meant
     the Ports couldn't be suspended to low-power states. AER on these
     Ports doesn't use interrupts, and the AER driver doesn't need to
     claim them.

   - Assign PCI domain IDs using ida_alloc(), which makes host bridge
     add/remove work better.

  Resource management:

   - To work better with recent BIOSes that use EfiMemoryMappedIO for
     PCI host bridge apertures, remove those regions from the E820 map
     (E820 entries normally prevent us from allocating BARs). In v5.19,
     we added some quirks to disable E820 checking, but that's not very
     maintainable. EfiMemoryMappedIO means the OS needs to map the
     region for use by EFI runtime services; it shouldn't prevent OS
     from using it.

  PCIe native device hotplug:

   - Build pciehp by default if USB4 is enabled, since Thunderbolt/USB4
     PCIe tunneling depends on native PCIe hotplug.

   - Enable Command Completed Interrupt only if supported to avoid user
     confusion from lspci output that says this is enabled but not
     supported.

   - Prevent pciehp from binding to Switch Upstream Ports; this happened
     because of interaction with acpiphp and caused devices below the
     Upstream Port to disappear.

  Power management:

   - Convert AGP drivers to generic power management. We hope to remove
     legacy power management from the PCI core eventually.

  Virtualization:

   - Fix pci_device_is_present(), which previously always returned
     "false" for VFs, causing virtio hangs when unbinding the driver.

  Miscellaneous:

   - Convert drivers to gpiod API to prepare for dropping some legacy
     code.

   - Fix DOE fencepost error for the maximum data object length.

  Baikal-T1 PCIe controller driver:

   - Add driver and DT bindings.

  Broadcom STB PCIe controller driver:

   - Enable Multi-MSI.

   - Delay 100ms after PERST# deassert to allow power and clocks to
     stabilize.

   - Configure Read Completion Boundary to 64 bytes.

  Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:

   - Initialize PHY before deasserting core reset to fix a regression in
     v6.0 on boards where the PHY provides the reference.

   - Fix imx6sx and imx8mq clock names in DT schema.

  Intel VMD host bridge driver:

   - Fix Secondary Bus Reset on VMD bridges, which allows reset of NVMe
     SSDs in VT-d pass-through scenarios.

   - Disable MSI remapping, which gets re-enabled by firmware during
     suspend/resume.

  MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:

   - Add MT7986 and MT8195 support.

  Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:

   - Add SC8280XP/SA8540P basic interconnect support.

  Rockchip DesignWare PCIe controller driver:

   - Base DT schema on common Synopsys schema.

  Synopsys DesignWare PCIe core:

   - Collect DT items shared between Root Port and Endpoint (PERST GPIO,
     PHY info, clocks, resets, link speed, number of lanes, number of
     iATU windows, interrupt info, etc) to snps,dw-pcie-common.yaml.

   - Add dma-ranges support for Root Ports and Endpoints.

   - Consolidate DT resource retrieval for "dbi", "dbi2", "atu", etc. to
     reduce code duplication.

   - Add generic names for clocks and resets to encourage more
     consistent naming across drivers using DesignWare IP.

   - Stop advertising PTM Responder role for Endpoints, which aren't
     allowed to be responders.

  TI J721E PCIe driver:

   - Add j721s2 host mode ID to DT schema.

   - Add interrupt properties to DT schema.

  Toshiba Visconti PCIe controller driver:

   - Fix interrupts array max constraints in DT schema"
