x86/efistub: Give up if memory attribute protocol returns an error
[ Upstream commit a7a6a01f88e87dec4bf2365571dd2dc7403d52d0 ]
The recently introduced EFI memory attributes protocol should be used
if it exists to ensure that the memory allocation created for the kernel
permits execution. This is needed for compatibility with tightened
requirements related to Windows logo certification for x86 PCs.
Currently, we simply strip the execute protect (XP) attribute from the
entire range, but this might be rejected under some firmware security
policies, and so in a subsequent patch, this will be changed to only
strip XP from the executable region that runs early, and make it
read-only (RO) as well.
In order to catch any issues early, ensure that the memory attribute
protocol works as intended, and give up if it produces spurious errors.
Note that the DXE services based fallback was always based on best
effort, so don't propagate any errors returned by that API.

x86/boot: efistub: Assign global boot_params variable
Now that the x86 EFI stub calls into some APIs exposed by the
decompressor (e.g., kaslr_get_random_long()), it is necessary to ensure
that the global boot_params variable is set correctly before doing so.
Note that the decompressor and the kernel proper carry conflicting
declarations for the global variable 'boot_params' so refer to it via an
alias to work around this.

x86/efistub: Perform 4/5 level paging switch from the stub
In preparation for updating the EFI stub boot flow to avoid the bare
metal decompressor code altogether, implement the support code for
switching between 4 and 5 levels of paging before jumping to the kernel
proper.
Reuse the newly refactored trampoline that the bare metal decompressor
uses, but relies on EFI APIs to allocate 32-bit addressable memory and
remap it with the appropriate permissions. Given that the bare metal
decompressor will no longer call into the trampoline if the number of
paging levels is already set correctly, it is no longer needed to remove
NX restrictions from the memory range where this trampoline may end up.
