      x86/xen/efi: Initialize UEFI secure boot state during dom0 boot · a7012bdb
      Daniel Kiper authored
      
      
      Initialize UEFI secure boot state during dom0 boot. Otherwise the kernel
      may not even know that it runs on secure boot enabled platform.
      
      Note that part of drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/secureboot.c is duplicated
      by this patch, only in this case, it runs in the context of the kernel
      proper rather than UEFI boot context. The reason for the duplication is
      that maintaining the original code to run correctly on ARM/arm64 as well
      as on all the quirky x86 firmware we support is enough of a burden as it
      is, and adding the x86/Xen execution context to that mix just so we can
      reuse a single routine just isn't worth it.

      efi: Avoid potential crashes, fix the 'struct efi_pci_io_protocol_32' definition for mixed mode · 0b3225ab
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      
      
      Mixed mode allows a kernel built for x86_64 to interact with 32-bit
      EFI firmware, but requires us to define all struct definitions carefully
      when it comes to pointer sizes.
      
      'struct efi_pci_io_protocol_32' currently uses a 'void *' for the
      'romimage' field, which will be interpreted as a 64-bit field
      on such kernels, potentially resulting in bogus memory references
      and subsequent crashes.
