<title>efi/libstub: Move efi_random_alloc() into separate source file</title>

efi_random_alloc() is only used on arm64, but as it shares a source
file with efi_random_get_seed(), the latter will pull in the former
on other architectures as well.

Let's take advantage of the fact that libstub is a static library,
and so the linker will only incorporate objects that are needed to
satisfy dependencies in other objects. This means we can move the
random alloc code to a separate source file that gets built
unconditionally, but only used when needed.

<title>efi/libstub: Rename efi_call_early/_runtime macros to be more intuitive</title>

<id>urn:sha1:966291f6344d7eb6fc3204381a426bafa20a3d18</id>
<content type='text'>
The macros efi_call_early and efi_call_runtime are used to call EFI
boot services and runtime services, respectively. However, the naming
is confusing, given that the early vs runtime distinction may suggest
that these are used for calling the same set of services either early
or late (== at runtime), while in reality, the sets of services they
can be used with are completely disjoint, and efi_call_runtime is also
only usable in 'early' code.

So do a global sweep to replace all occurrences with efi_bs_call or
efi_rt_call, respectively, where BS and RT match the idiom used by
the UEFI spec to refer to boot time or runtime services.

While at it, use 'func' as the macro parameter name for the function
pointers, which is less likely to collide and cause weird build errors.

After refactoring the mixed mode support code, efi_call_proto()
no longer uses its protocol argument in any of its implementation,
so let's remove it altogether.

We have a helper efi_system_table() that gives us the address of the
EFI system table in memory, so there is no longer point in passing
it around from each function to the next.

Annotate all the firmware routines (boot services, runtime services and
protocol methods) called in the boot context as __efiapi, and make
it expand to __attribute__((ms_abi)) on 64-bit x86. This allows us
to use the compiler to generate the calls into firmware that use the
MS calling convention instead of the SysV one.

<title>efi/libstub: Drop explicit 32/64-bit protocol definitions</title>

Now that we have incorporated the mixed mode protocol definitions
into the native ones using unions, we no longer need the separate
32/64 bit struct definitions, with the exception of the EFI system
table definition and the boot services, runtime services and
configuration table definitions. So drop the unused ones.

<title>efi/libstub: Extend native protocol definitions with mixed_mode aliases</title>

<content type='text'>
In preparation of moving to a native vs. mixed mode split rather than a
32 vs. 64 bit split when it comes to invoking EFI firmware services,
update all the native protocol definitions and redefine them as unions
containing an anonymous struct for the native view and a struct called
'mixed_mode' describing the 32-bit view of the protocol when called from
64-bit code.

While at it, flesh out some PCI I/O member definitions that we will be
needing shortly.

<title>efi/libstub/random: Initialize pointer variables to zero for mixed mode</title>

Commit:

  0d95981438c3 ("x86: efi/random: Invoke EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL to seed the UEFI RNG table")

causes the drivers/efi/libstub/random.c code to get used on x86 for the first time.

But this code was not written with EFI mixed mode in mind (running a 64
bit kernel on 32 bit EFI firmware), this causes the kernel to crash during
early boot when running in mixed mode.

The problem is that in mixed mode pointers are 64 bit, but when running on
a 32 bit firmware, EFI calls which return a pointer value by reference only
fill the lower 32 bits of the passed pointer, leaving the upper 32 bits
uninitialized which leads to crashes.

This commit fixes this by initializing pointers which are passed by
reference to EFI calls to NULL before passing them, so that the upper 32
bits are initialized to 0.
