Merge branch 'core-efi-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull EFI changes from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle were: - further EFI code generalization to make it more workable for ARM64 - various extensions, such as 64-bit framebuffer address support, UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE support - code modularization simplifications and cleanups - new debugging parameters - various fixes and smaller additions" * 'core-efi-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) efi: Fix warning of int-to-pointer-cast on x86 32-bit builds efi: Use correct type for struct efi_memory_map::phys_map x86/efi: Fix kernel panic when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled efi: Add "efi_fake_mem" boot option x86/efi: Rename print_efi_memmap() to efi_print_memmap() efi: Auto-load the efi-pstore module efi: Introduce EFI_NX_PE_DATA bit and set it from properties table efi: Add support for UEFIv2.5 Properties table efi: Add EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE support to efi_md_typeattr_format() efifb: Add support for 64-bit frame buffer addresses efi/arm64: Clean up efi_get_fdt_params() interface arm64: Use core efi=debug instead of uefi_debug command line parameter efi/x86: Move efi=debug option parsing to core drivers/firmware: Make efi/esrt.c driver explicitly non-modular efi: Use the generic efi.memmap instead of 'memmap' acpi/apei: Use appropriate pgprot_t to map GHES memory arm64, acpi/apei: Implement arch_apei_get_mem_attributes() arm64/mm: Add PROT_DEVICE_nGnRnE and PROT_NORMAL_WT acpi, x86: Implement arch_apei_get_mem_attributes() efi, x86: Rearrange efi_mem_attributes() ...
