Pull EFI fix from Ard Biesheuvel:
 "A single revert for some code that I added during this cycle. The code
  is not wrong, but it should be a bit more careful about how to handle
  the shadow call stack pointer, so it is better to revert it for now

This reverts commit 23715a26c8d81291, which introduced some code in
assembler that manipulates both the ordinary and the shadow call stack
pointer in a way that could potentially be taken advantage of. So let's
revert it, and do a better job the next time around.

The 0-day bot reports that arm64 builds with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG +
CONFIG_FTRACE are broken when CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is not
enabled:

 ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_ftrace_stub_graph
 &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by entry-ftrace.S:299 (arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S:299)
 &gt;&gt;&gt;               arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.o:(.text+0x48) in archive vmlinux.a

This is caused by ftrace_stub_graph using SYM_TYPE_FUNC_START when
the address of the function is not taken in any C translation unit.

Fix the build by only defining ftrace_stub_graph when it's actually
needed, i.e. with CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER.

Pull EFI fixes from Ard Biesheuvel:

 - Force the use of SetVirtualAddressMap() on Ampera Altra arm64
   machines, which crash in SetTime() if no virtual remapping is used

   This is the first time we've added an SMBIOS based quirk on arm64,
   but fortunately, we can just call a EFI protocol to grab the type #1
   SMBIOS record when running in the stub, so we don't need all the
   machinery we have in the kernel proper to parse SMBIOS data.

 - Drop a spurious warning on misaligned runtime regions when using 16k
   or 64k pages on arm64

Currently, when mapping the EFI runtime regions in the EFI page tables,
we complain about misaligned regions in a rather noisy way, using
WARN().

Not only does this produce a lot of irrelevant clutter in the log, it is
factually incorrect, as misaligned runtime regions are actually allowed
by the EFI spec as long as they don't require conflicting memory types
within the same 64k page.

So let's drop the warning, and tweak the code so that we
- take both the start and end of the region into account when checking
  for misalignment
- only revert to RWX mappings for non-code regions if misaligned code
  regions are also known to exist.

Commit 237405ebef58 ("arm64: cpufeature: Force HWCAP to be based on the
sysreg visible to user-space") forced the hwcaps to use sanitised
user-space view of the id registers. However, the ID register structures
used to select few compat cpufeatures (vfp, crc32, ...) are masked and
hence such hwcaps do not appear in /proc/cpuinfo anymore for PER_LINUX32
personality.

Add the ID register structures explicitly and set the relevant entry as
visible. As these ID registers are now of type visible so make them
available in 64-bit userspace by making necessary changes in register
emulation logic and documentation.

While at it, update the comment for structure ftr_generic_32bits[] which
lists the ID register that use it.

<content type='text'>
Unlike x86, which has machinery to deal with page faults that occur
during the execution of EFI runtime services, arm64 has nothing like
that, and a synchronous exception raised by firmware code brings down
the whole system.

With more EFI based systems appearing that were not built to run Linux
(such as the Windows-on-ARM laptops based on Qualcomm SOCs), as well as
the introduction of PRM (platform specific firmware routines that are
callable just like EFI runtime services), we are more likely to run into
issues of this sort, and it is much more likely that we can identify and
work around such issues if they don't bring down the system entirely.

Since we already use a EFI runtime services call wrapper in assembler,
we can quite easily add some code that captures the execution state at
the point where the call is made, allowing us to revert to this state
and proceed execution if the call triggered a synchronous exception.

Given that the kernel and the firmware don't share any data structures
that could end up in an indeterminate state, we can happily continue
running, as long as we mark the EFI runtime services as unavailable from
that point on.

With more EFI based systems appearing that were not built to run Linux
(such as the Windows-on-ARM laptops based on Qualcomm SOCs), as well as
the introduction of PRM (platform specific firmware routines that are
callable just like EFI runtime services), we are more likely to run into
issues of this sort, and it is much more likely that we can identify and
work around such issues if they don't bring down the system entirely.

Since we already use a EFI runtime services call wrapper in assembler,
we can quite easily add some code that captures the execution state at
the point where the call is made, allowing us to revert to this state
and proceed execution if the call triggered a synchronous exception.

Given that the kernel and the firmware don't share any data structures
that could end up in an indeterminate state, we can happily continue
running, as long as we mark the EFI runtime services as unavailable from
that point on.
