Ard Biesheuvel 1bd0abb0c9 arm64/efi: set EFI_ALLOC_ALIGN to 64 KB
Set EFI_ALLOC_ALIGN to 64 KB so that all allocations done by the stub
are naturally compatible with a 64 KB granule kernel.

Ard Biesheuvel a13b00778e efi/arm64: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>
This moves definitions depended upon both by code under arch/arm64/boot
and under drivers/firmware/efi to <asm/efi.h>. This is in preparation of
turning the stub code under drivers/firmware/efi into a static library.

Ard Biesheuvel e15dd4949a efi/arm64: Preserve FP/SIMD registers on UEFI runtime services calls
According to the UEFI spec section 2.3.6.4, the use of FP/SIMD
instructions is allowed, and should adhere to the AAPCS64 calling
convention, which states that 'only the bottom 64 bits of each value
stored in registers v8-v15 need to be preserved' (section 5.1.2).

This applies equally to UEFI Runtime Services called by the kernel, so
make sure the FP/SIMD register file is preserved in this case. We do this
by enabling the wrappers for UEFI Runtime Services (CONFIG_EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS)
and inserting calls to kernel_neon_begin()and kernel_neon_end() into
these wrappers.

Mark Salter f84d02755f arm64: add EFI runtime services
This patch adds EFI runtime support for arm64. This runtime support allows
the kernel to access various EFI runtime services provided by EFI firmware.
Things like reboot, real time clock, EFI boot variables, and others.

This functionality is supported for little endian kernels only. The UEFI
firmware standard specifies that the firmware be little endian. A future
patch is expected to add support for big endian kernels running with
little endian firmware.
