- Increase the headroom in the EFI memory map allocation created by the
EFI stub. This is needed because event callbacks called during
ExitBootServices() may cause fragmentation, and reallocation is not
allowed after that.
- Drop obsolete UGA graphics code and switch to a more ergonomic API to
traverse handle buffers. Simplify some error paths using a __free()
helper while at it.
- Fix some W=1 warnings when CONFIG_EFI=n
- Rely on the dentry cache to keep track of the contents of the efivarfs
filesystem, rather than using a separate linked list.
- Improve and extend efivarfs test cases.
- Synchronize efivarfs with underlying variable store on resume from
hibernation - this is needed because the firmware itself or another OS
running on the same machine may have modified it.
- Fix x86 EFI stub build with GCC 15.
- Fix kexec/x86 false positive warning in EFI memory attributes table
sanity check.
