[v3,00/21] efi/x86: Avoid bare metal decompressor during EFI boot

  Update the x86 boot path to avoid the bare metal decompressor when
booting via the EFI stub. The bare metal decompressor inherits the
loader's 1:1 mapping of DRAM when entering in 64-bit mode, and assumes
that all of it is mapped read/write/execute, which will no longer be the
case on systems built to comply with recently tightened logo
requirements (*).

Changes since v2 [4]:
- update prose style to comply with -tip guidelines
- rebased onto Kirill's unaccepted memory series [3]
- add Kirill's ack to 4/5-level paging changes
- perform SEV init and SNP feature check after ExitBootServices(), to
  avoid corrupting the firmware's own SEV state
- split out preparatory refactor of handover entry code and BSS clearing
  (patches #1 to #4)

Changes since v1 [2]:
- streamline existing 4/5 level switching code and call it directly from
  the EFI stub - this is covered by the first 9 patches, which can be
  applied in isolation, if desired;
- deal with SEV/SNP init explicitly;
- clear BSS when booting via the 'handover protocol'
- switch to kernel CS before calling SEV init code in kernel proper.

---- v1 cover letter follows ----

This series is conceptually a combination of Evgeny's series [0] and
mine [1], both of which attempt to make the early decompressor code more
amenable to executing in the EFI environment with stricter handling of
memory permissions.

My series [1] implemented zboot for x86, by getting rid of the entire
x86 decompressor, and replacing it with existing EFI code that does the
same but in a generic way. The downside of this is that only EFI boot is
supported, making it unviable for distros, which need to support BIOS
boot and hybrid EFI boot modes that omit the EFI stub.

Evgeny's series [0] adapted the entire decompressor code flow to allow
it to execute in the EFI context as well as the bare metal context, and
this involves changes to the 1:1 mapping code and the page fault
handlers etc, none of which are really needed when doing EFI boot in the
first place.

So this series attempts to occupy the middle ground here: it makes
minimal changes to the existing decompressor so some of it can be called
from the EFI stub. Then, it reimplements the EFI boot flow to decompress
the kernel and boot it directly, without relying on the trampoline
allocation code, page table code or page fault handling code. This
allows us to get rid of quite a bit of unsavory EFI stub code, and
replace it with two clear invocations of the EFI firmware APIs to clear
NX restrictions from allocations that have been populated with
executable code.

The only code that is being reused is the decompression library itself,
along with the minimal ELF parsing that is required to copy the ELF
segments in place, and the relocation processing that fixes up absolute
symbol references to refer to the correct virtual addresses.

Note that some of Evgeny's changes to clean up the PE/COFF header
generation will still be needed, but I've omitted those here for
brevity.

(*) IMHO the following developments are likely to occur:
- the Windows boot chain (along with 3rd party drivers) is cleaned up so
  that it never relies on memory being writable and executable at the
  same time when running under the EFI boot services;
- the EFI reference implementation gets updated to map all memory NX by
  default, and to require read-only permissions for executable mappings;
- BIOS vendors incorporate these changes into their codebases, and
  deploy it more widely than just the 'secure' SKUs;
- OEMs only care about the Windows sticker [5], so they only boot test
  Windows, which works fine in this more restricted context;
- Linux boot no longer works reliably on new hardware built for Windows
  unless we clean up our boot chain as well.
