If the sentinel triggers, we do not want the boot loader authors to
just poke it and make the error go away, we want them to actually fix
the problem.
This should help avoid making the incorrect change in non-compliant
bootloaders.

When boot_params->sentinel is set, all we really know is that some
undefined set of fields in struct boot_params contain garbage. In the
particular case of efi_info, however, there is a private magic for
that substructure, so it is generally safe to leave it even if the
bootloader is broken.
kexec (for which we did the initial analysis) did not initialize this
field, but of course all the EFI bootloaders do, and most EFI
bootloaders are broken in this respect (and should be fixed.)

Henrik reported that his MacAir 3.1 would not boot with
| commit 8d57470d8f
| Date: Fri Nov 16 19:38:58 2012 -0800
|
| x86, mm: setup page table in top-down
It turns out that we do not calculate the real_end properly:
We try to get 2M size with 4K alignment, and later will round down
to 2M, so we will get less then 2M for first mapping, in extreme
case could be only 4K only. In Henrik's system it has (1M-32K) as
last usable rage is [mem 0x7f9db000-0x7fef8fff].
The problem is exposed when EFI booting have several holes and it
will force mapping to use PTE instead as we only map usable areas.
To fix it, just make it be 2M aligned, so we can be guaranteed to be
able to use large pages to map it.

The commit 27be457000
('x86 idle: remove 32-bit-only "no-hlt" parameter, hlt_works_ok
flag') removed the hlt_works_ok flag from struct cpuinfo_x86, but
boot_cpu_data and new_cpu_data initializers were not changed
causing setting f00f_bug flag, instead of fdiv_bug.
If CONFIG_X86_F00F_BUG is not set the f00f_bug flag is never
cleared.
To avoid such problems in future C99-style initialization is now
used.

Raid56 merge (merge commit e942f88) had mistakenly removed a call to
__cancel_balance(), which resulted in balance not cleaning up after itself
after a successful finish. (Cleanup includes switching the state, removing
the balance item and releasing mut_ex_op testnset lock.) Bring it back.

We had a recent fix to fix the release of pagecache pages when
cifs_writev_requeue writes fail. Unfortunately, it releases the page
before trying to unlock it. At that point, the page might be gone by the
time the unlock comes in.
Unlock the page first before checking the value of "rc", and only then
end writeback and release the pages. The page lock isn't required for
any of those operations so this should be safe.

Before jumping to (position independent) C-code from the decompressor's
assembler world we set-up the C environment. This setup currently does not
set r9, which for arm-none-uclinux-uclibceabi toolchains is by default
expected to be the PIC offset base register (IE should point to the
beginning of the GOT).
Currently, therefore, in order to build working kernels that use the
decompressor it is necessary to use an arm-linux-gnueabi toolchain, or
similar. uClinux toolchains cause a prefetch abort to occur at the beginning
of the decompress_kernel function.
This patch allows uClinux toolchains to build bootable zImages by forcing
the -mno-single-pic-base option, which ensures that the location of the GOT
is re-derived each time it is required, and r9 becomes free for use as a
general purpose register.
This has a small (4% in instruction terms) advantage over the alternative of
setting r9 to point to the GOT before calling into the C-world.

Stricter validation was introduced with commit da27a24383
("efivarfs: guid part of filenames are case-insensitive") and commit
47f531e8ba ("efivarfs: Validate filenames much more aggressively"),
which is necessary for the guid portion of efivarfs filenames, but we
don't need to be so strict with the first part, the variable name. The
UEFI specification doesn't impose any constraints on variable names
other than they be a NULL-terminated string.
The above commits caused a regression that resulted in users seeing
the following message,
$ sudo mount -v /sys/firmware/efi/efivars mount: Cannot allocate memory
whenever pstore EFI variables were present in the variable store,
since their variable names failed to pass the following check,
/* GUID should be right after the first '-' */
if (s - 1 != strchr(str, '-'))
as a typical pstore filename is of the form, dump-type0-10-1-<guid>.
The fix is trivial since the guid portion of the filename is GUID_LEN
bytes, we can use (len - GUID_LEN) to ensure the '-' character is
where we expect it to be.
(The bogus ENOMEM error value will be fixed in a separate patch.)

UEFI variables are typically stored in flash. For various reasons, avaiable
space is typically not reclaimed immediately upon the deletion of a
variable - instead, the system will garbage collect during initialisation
after a reboot.
Some systems appear to handle this garbage collection extremely poorly,
failing if more than 50% of the system flash is in use. This can result in
the machine refusing to boot. The safest thing to do for the moment is to
forbid writes if they'd end up using more than half of the storage space.
We can make this more finegrained later if we come up with a method for
identifying the broken machines.
