EFI's SetVirtualAddressMap() runtime service is a horrid hack that we'd
like to avoid using, if possible. For 64-bit architectures such as
arm64, the user and kernel mappings are entirely disjoint, and given
that we use the user region for mapping the UEFI runtime regions when
running under the OS, we don't rely on SetVirtualAddressMap() in the
conventional way, i.e., to permit kernel mappings of the OS to coexist
with kernel region mappings of the firmware regions. This means that, in
principle, we should be able to avoid SetVirtualAddressMap() altogether,
and simply use the 1:1 mapping that UEFI uses at boot time. (Note that
omitting SetVirtualAddressMap() is explicitly permitted by the UEFI
spec).
However, there is a corner case on arm64, which, if configured for
3-level paging (or 2-level paging when using 64k pages), may not be able
to cover the entire range of firmware mappings (which might contain both
memory and MMIO peripheral mappings).
So let's avoid SetVirtualAddressMap() on arm64, but only if the VA space
is guaranteed to be of sufficient size.

The EFI TCG spec, in §10.2.6 "Measuring UEFI Variables and UEFI GPT
Data", only reasons about the load options passed to a loaded image in
the context of boot options booted directly from the BDS, which are
measured into PCR #5 along with the rest of the Boot#### EFI variable.
However, the UEFI spec mentions the following in the documentation of
the LoadImage() boot service and the EFI_LOADED_IMAGE protocol:
The caller may fill in the image’s "load options" data, or add
additional protocol support to the handle before passing control to
the newly loaded image by calling EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.StartImage().
The typical boot sequence for Linux EFI systems is to load GRUB via a
boot option from the BDS, which [hopefully] calls LoadImage to load the
kernel image, passing the kernel command line via the mechanism
described above. This means that we cannot rely on the firmware
implementing TCG measured boot to ensure that the kernel command line
gets measured before the image is started, so the EFI stub will have to
take care of this itself.
Given that PCR #5 has an official use in the TCG measured boot spec,
let's avoid it in this case. Instead, add a measurement in PCR #9 (which
we already use for our initrd) and extend it with the LoadOptions
measurements

Currently, from the efi-stub, we are only measuring the loaded initrd,
using the TCG2 measured boot protocols. A following patch is
introducing measurements of additional components, such as the kernel
command line. On top of that, we will shortly have to support other
types of measured boot that don't expose the TCG2 protocols.
So let's prepare for that, by rejigging the efi_measure_initrd() routine
into something that we should be able to reuse for measuring other
assets, and which can be extended later to support other measured boot
protocols.

efi/libstub/arm64: Retain 2MB kernel Image alignment if !KASLR
Since commit 82046702e2 ("efi/libstub/arm64: Replace 'preferred' offset
with alignment check"), loading a relocatable arm64 kernel at a physical
address which is not 2MB aligned and subsequently booting with EFI will
leave the Image in-place, relying on the kernel to relocate itself early
during boot. In conjunction with commit dd4bc60765 ("arm64: warn on
incorrect placement of the kernel by the bootloader"), which enables
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE by default, this effectively means that entering an
arm64 kernel loaded at an alignment smaller than 2MB with EFI (e.g. using
QEMU) will result in silent relocation at runtime.
Unfortunately, this has a subtle but confusing affect for developers
trying to inspect the PC value during a crash and comparing it to the
symbol addresses in vmlinux using tools such as 'nm' or 'addr2line';
all text addresses will be displaced by a sub-2MB offset, resulting in
the wrong symbol being identified in many cases. Passing "nokaslr" on
the command line or disabling "CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE" does not help,
since the EFI stub only copies the kernel Image to a 2MB boundary if it
is not relocatable.
Adjust the EFI stub for arm64 so that the minimum Image alignment is 2MB
unless KASLR is in use.

One of the advantages of using what basically amounts to a callback
interface into the bootloader for loading the initrd is that it provides
a natural place for the bootloader or firmware to measure the initrd
contents while they are being passed to the kernel.
Unfortunately, this is not a guarantee that the initrd will in fact be
loaded and its /init invoked by the kernel, since the command line may
contain the 'noinitrd' option, in which case the initrd is ignored, but
this will not be reflected in the PCR that covers the initrd measurement.
This could be addressed by measuring the command line as well, and
including that PCR in the attestation policy, but this locks down the
command line completely, which may be too restrictive.
So let's take the noinitrd argument into account in the stub, too. This
forces any PCR that covers the initrd to assume a different value when
noinitrd is passed, allowing an attestation policy to disregard the
command line if there is no need to take its measurement into account
for other reasons.
As Peter points out, this would still require the agent that takes the
measurements to measure a separator event into the PCR in question at
ExitBootServices() time, to prevent replay attacks using the known
measurement from the TPM log.

There are currently two ways to specify the initrd to be passed to the
Linux kernel when booting via the EFI stub:
- it can be passed as a initrd= command line option when doing a pure PE
boot (as opposed to the EFI handover protocol that exists for x86)
- otherwise, the bootloader or firmware can load the initrd into memory,
and pass the address and size via the bootparams struct (x86) or
device tree (ARM)
In the first case, we are limited to loading from the same file system
that the kernel was loaded from, and it is also problematic in a trusted
boot context, given that we cannot easily protect the command line from
tampering without either adding complicated white/blacklisting of boot
arguments or locking down the command line altogether.
In the second case, we force the bootloader to duplicate knowledge about
the boot protocol which is already encoded in the stub, and which may be
subject to change over time, e.g., bootparams struct definitions, memory
allocation/alignment requirements for the placement of the initrd etc etc.
In the ARM case, it also requires the bootloader to modify the hardware
description provided by the firmware, as it is passed in the same file.
On systems where the initrd is measured after loading, it creates a time
window where the initrd contents might be manipulated in memory before
handing over to the kernel.
Address these concerns by adding support for loading the initrd into
memory by invoking the EFI LoadFile2 protocol installed on a vendor
GUIDed device path that specifically designates a Linux initrd.
This addresses the above concerns, by putting the EFI stub in charge of
placement in memory and of passing the base and size to the kernel proper
(via whatever means it desires) while still leaving it up to the firmware
or bootloader to obtain the file contents, potentially from other file
systems than the one the kernel itself was loaded from. On platforms that
implement measured boot, it permits the firmware to take the measurement
right before the kernel actually consumes the contents.

We currently parse the command non-destructively, to avoid having to
allocate memory for a copy before passing it to the standard parsing
routines that are used by the core kernel, and which modify the input
to delineate the parsed tokens with NUL characters.
Instead, we call strstr() and strncmp() to go over the input multiple
times, and match prefixes rather than tokens, which implies that we
would match, e.g., 'nokaslrfoo' in the stub and disable KASLR, while
the kernel would disregard the option and run with KASLR enabled.
In order to avoid having to reason about whether and how this behavior
may be abused, let's clean up the parsing routines, and rebuild them
on top of the existing helpers.

Split off the file I/O support code into a separate source file so
it ends up in a separate object file in the static library, allowing
the linker to omit it if the routines are not used.

We now support cmdline data that is located in memory that is not
32-bit addressable, so relax the allocation limit on systems where
this feature is enabled.
