All efivars operations are protected by a spinlock which prevents
interruptions and preemption. This is too restricted, we just need a
lock preventing concurrency.
The idea is to use a semaphore of count 1 and to have two ways of
locking, depending on the context:
- In interrupt context, we call down_trylock(), if it fails we return
an error
- In normal context, we call down_interruptible()
We don't use a mutex here because the mutex_trylock() function must not
be called from interrupt context, whereas the down_trylock() can.

This patch replaces the spinlock in the efivars struct with a single lock
for the whole vars.c file. The goal of this lock is to protect concurrent
calls to efi variable services, registering and unregistering. This allows
us to register new efivars operations without having in-progress call.

The parameters atomic and duplicates of efivar_init always have opposite
values. Drop the parameter atomic, replace the uses of !atomic with
duplicates, and update the call sites accordingly.
The code using duplicates is slightly reorganized with an 'else', to avoid
duplicating the lock code.

The variable_matches() function can currently read "var_name[len]", for
example when:
- var_name[0] == 'a',
- len == 1
- match_name points to the NUL-terminated string "ab".
This function is supposed to accept "var_name" inputs that are not
NUL-terminated (hence the "len" parameter"). Document the function, and
access "var_name[*match]" only if "*match" is smaller than "len".

Laszlo explains why this is a good idea,
'This is because the pstore filesystem can be backed by UEFI variables,
and (for example) a crash might dump the last kilobytes of the dmesg
into a number of pstore entries, each entry backed by a separate UEFI
variable in the above GUID namespace, and with a variable name
according to the above pattern.
Please see "drivers/firmware/efi/efi-pstore.c".
While this patch series will not prevent the user from deleting those
UEFI variables via the pstore filesystem (i.e., deleting a pstore fs
entry will continue to delete the backing UEFI variable), I think it
would be nice to preserve the possibility for the sysadmin to delete
Linux-created UEFI variables that carry portions of the crash log,
*without* having to mount the pstore filesystem.'
There's also no chance of causing machines to become bricked by
deleting these variables, which is the whole purpose of excluding
things from the whitelist.
Use the LINUX_EFI_CRASH_GUID guid and a wildcard '*' for the match so
that we don't have to update the string in the future if new variable
name formats are created for crash dump variables.

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.
These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.
We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

The function efi_query_variable_store() may be invoked by
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking(), which itself takes care to only
call a non-blocking version of the SetVariable() runtime
wrapper. However, efi_query_variable_store() may call the
SetVariable() wrapper directly, as well as the wrapper for
QueryVariableInfo(), both of which could deadlock in the same
way we are trying to prevent by calling
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking() in the first place.
So instead, modify efi_query_variable_store() to use the
non-blocking variants of QueryVariableInfo() (and give up rather
than free up space if the available space is below
EFI_MIN_RESERVE) if invoked with the 'nonblocking' argument set
to true.

There are some circumstances that call for trying to write an EFI
variable in a non-blocking way. One such scenario is when writing pstore
data in efi_pstore_write() via the pstore_dump() kdump callback.
Now that we have an EFI runtime spinlock we need a way of aborting if
there is contention instead of spinning, since when writing pstore data
from the kdump callback, the runtime lock may already be held by the CPU
that's running the callback if we crashed in the middle of an EFI
variable operation.
The situation is sufficiently special that a new EFI variable operation
is warranted.
Introduce ->set_variable_nonblocking() for this use case. It is an
optional EFI backend operation, and need only be implemented by those
backends that usually acquire locks to serialize access to EFI
variables, as is the case for virt_efi_set_variable() where we now grab
the EFI runtime spinlock.

It is a really bad idea to declare variables or parameters that
have the same name as common types. It is valid C, but it gets
surprising if a macro expansion attempts to declare an inner
local with that type. Change the local names to eliminate the
hazard.
Change s16 => str16, s8 => str8.
This resolves warnings seen when using W=2 during make, for instance:
drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c: In function ‘dup_variable_bug’:

Currently, when mounting pstore file system, a read callback of
efi_pstore driver runs mutiple times as below.
- In the first read callback, scan efivar_sysfs_list from head and pass
a kmsg buffer of a entry to an upper pstore layer.
- In the second read callback, rescan efivar_sysfs_list from the entry
and pass another kmsg buffer to it.
- Repeat the scan and pass until the end of efivar_sysfs_list.
In this process, an entry is read across the multiple read function
calls. To avoid race between the read and erasion, the whole process
above is protected by a spinlock, holding in open() and releasing in
close().
At the same time, kmemdup() is called to pass the buffer to pstore
filesystem during it. And then, it causes a following lockdep warning.
To make the dynamic memory allocation runnable without taking spinlock,
holding off a deletion of sysfs entry if it happens while scanning it
via efi_pstore, and deleting it after the scan is completed.
To implement it, this patch introduces two flags, scanning and deleting,
to efivar_entry.
On the code basis, it seems that all the scanning and deleting logic is
not needed because __efivars->lock are not dropped when reading from the
EFI variable store.
But, the scanning and deleting logic is still needed because an
efi-pstore and a pstore filesystem works as follows.
In case an entry(A) is found, the pointer is saved to psi->data. And
efi_pstore_read() passes the entry(A) to a pstore filesystem by
releasing __efivars->lock.
And then, the pstore filesystem calls efi_pstore_read() again and the
same entry(A), which is saved to psi->data, is used for resuming to scan
a sysfs-list.
So, to protect the entry(A), the logic is needed.
