earlyprintk=efi,keep does not work any more with a warning
in mm/early_ioremap.c: WARN_ON(system_state != SYSTEM_BOOTING):
Boot just hangs because of the earlyprintk within the earlyprintk
implementation code itself.This is caused by a new introduced middle state in:
69a78ff226fe ("init: Introduce SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state")
early_ioremap() is fine in both SYSTEM_BOOTING and SYSTEM_SCHEDULING
states, original condition should be updated accordingly.Signed-off-by: Dave Young

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

Boot data (such as EFI related data) is not encrypted when the system is
booted because UEFI/BIOS does not run with SME active. In order to access
this data properly it needs to be mapped decrypted.Update early_memremap() to provide an arch specific routine to modify the
pagetable protection attributes before they are applied to the new
mapping. This is used to remove the encryption mask for boot related data.Update memremap() to provide an arch specific routine to determine if RAM
remapping is allowed. RAM remapping will cause an encrypted mapping to be
generated. By preventing RAM remapping, ioremap_cache() will be used
instead, which will provide a decrypted mapping of the boot related data.Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky

Add early_memremap() support to be able to specify encrypted and
decrypted mappings with and without write-protection. The use of
write-protection is necessary when encrypting data "in place". The
write-protect attribute is considered cacheable for loads, but not
stores. This implies that the hardware will never give the core a
dirty line with this memtype.Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky

Commit 6b0f68e32ea8 ("mm: add utility for early copy from unmapped ram")
introduces a function copy_from_early_mem() into mm/early_ioremap.c
which itself calls early_memremap()/early_memunmap(). However, since
early_memunmap() has not been declared yet at this point in the .c file,
nor by any explicitly included header files, we are depending on a
transitive include of asm/early_ioremap.h to declare it, which is
fragile.So instead, include this header explicitly.

When booting an arm64 kernel w/initrd using UEFI/grub, use of mem= will
likely cut off part or all of the initrd. This leaves it outside the
kernel linear map which leads to failure when unpacking. The x86 code
has a similar need to relocate an initrd outside of mapped memory in
some cases.The current x86 code uses early_memremap() to copy the original initrd
from unmapped to mapped RAM. This patchset creates a generic
copy_from_early_mem() utility based on that x86 code and has arm64 and
x86 share it in their respective initrd relocation code.This patch (of 3):
In some early boot circumstances, it may be necessary to copy from RAM
outside the kernel linear mapping to mapped RAM. The need to relocate
an initrd is one example in the x86 code. This patch creates a helper
function based on current x86 code.Signed-off-by: Mark Salter

tables supplied by the hypervisor read only. This is needed to be
able to relocate some data structures conflicting with the physical
memory map especially on systems with huge RAM (above 512GB).Provide the function early_memremap_ro() to provide this read only

This patch creates a generic implementation of early_ioremap() support
based on the existing x86 implementation. early_ioremp() is useful for
early boot code which needs to temporarily map I/O or memory regions
before normal mapping functions such as ioremap() are available.Some architectures have optional MMU. In the no-MMU case, the remap
functions simply return the passed in physical address and the unmap
functions do nothing.Signed-off-by: Mark Salter
