efi: vars: Move efivar caching layer into efivarfs

2022-06-24T18:40:19Z

Move the fiddly bits of the efivar layer into its only remaining user, efivarfs, and confine its use to that particular module. All other uses of the EFI variable store have no need for this additional layer of complexity, given that they either only read variables, or read and write variables into a separate GUIDed namespace, and cannot be used to manipulate EFI variables that are covered by the EFI spec and/or affect the boot flow.

efivarfs: Move to fs/efivarfs

2013-04-17T12:25:09Z

Now that efivarfs uses the efivar API, move it out of efivars.c and into fs/efivarfs where it belongs. This move will eventually allow us to enable the efivarfs code without having to also enable CONFIG_EFI_VARS built, and vice versa. Furthermore, things like, mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will now work if efivarfs is built as a module without requiring the use of MODULE_ALIAS(), which would have been necessary when the efivarfs code was part of efivars.c.
