EFI File Path Media Device Path is defined as NULL terminated string;
but chainloader built file paths without final NULL. This caused error
with Secure Boot and Linux Foundation PreLoader on Acer with InsydeH20 BIOS.
Apparently firmware failed verification with EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER which is
considered fatal error by PreLoader.

Searching for a device tree that EFI passes to us via configuration tables
is nothing architecture specific. Move it into generic code.

Modern pvops linux kernels support a p2m list not covered by the
kernel mapping. This capability is flagged by an elf-note specifying
the virtual address the kernel is expecting the p2m list to be mapped
to.
In case the elf-note is set by the kernel don't place the p2m list
into the kernel mapping, but map it to the given address. This will
allow to support domains with larger memory, as the kernel mapping is
limited to 2GB and a domain with huge memory in the TB range will have
a p2m list larger than this.

Modify the page table construction to allow multiple virtual regions
to be mapped. This is done as preparation for removing the p2m list
from the initial kernel mapping in order to support huge pv domains.
This allows a cleaner approach for mapping the relocator page by
using this capability.
The interface to the assembler level of the relocator has to be changed
in order to be able to process multiple page table areas.

Various features and parameters of a pv-kernel are specified via

Instead of using num,bers in the code when interpreting the elf notes
make use of the header supplied by Xen for that purpose.

Currently multiboot2 protocol loads image exactly at address specified in
ELF or multiboot2 header. This solution works quite well on legacy BIOS
platforms. It is possible because memory regions are placed at predictable
addresses (though I was not able to find any spec which says that it is
strong requirement, so, it looks that it is just a goodwill of hardware
designers). However, EFI platforms are more volatile. Even if required
memory regions live at specific addresses then they are sometimes simply
not free (e.g. used by boot/runtime services on Dell PowerEdge R820 and
OVMF). This means that you are not able to just set up final image
destination on build time. You have to provide method to relocate image
contents to real load address which is usually different than load address
specified in ELF and multiboot2 headers.
This patch provides all needed machinery to do self relocation in image code.
First of all GRUB2 reads min_addr (min. load addr), max_addr (max. load addr),
align (required image alignment), preference (it says which memory regions are
preferred by image, e.g. none, low, high) from multiboot_header_tag_relocatable
header tag contained in binary (at this stage load addresses from multiboot2
and/or ELF headers are ignored). Later loader tries to fulfill request (not only
that one) and if it succeeds then it informs image about real load address via
multiboot_tag_load_base_addr tag. At this stage GRUB2 role is finished. Starting
from now executable must cope with relocations itself using whole static and
dynamic knowledge provided by boot loader.
This patch does not provide functionality which could do relocations using
ELF relocation data. However, I was asked by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk and Vladimir
'phcoder' Serbinenko to investigate that thing. It looks that relevant machinery
could be added to existing code (including this patch) without huge effort.
Additionally, ELF relocation could live in parallel with self relocation provided
by this patch. However, during research I realized that first of all we should
establish the details how ELF relocatable image should look like and how it should
be build. At least to build proper test/example files.
So, this patch just provides support for self relocatable images. If ELF file
with relocs is loaded then GRUB2 complains loudly and ignores it. Support for
such files will be added later.
This patch was tested with Xen image which uses that functionality. However, this Xen
feature is still under development and new patchset will be released in about 2-3 weeks.

If image requested EFI boot services then skip multiboot2 memory maps.
Main reason for not providing maps is because they will likely be
invalid. We do a few allocations after filling them, e.g. for relocator
needs. Usually we do not care as we would have finished boot services.
If we keep boot services then it is easier/safer to not provide maps.
However, if image needs memory maps and they are not provided by bootloader
then it should get itself just before ExitBootServices() call.

Rework TPM measurements to use fewer PCRs. After discussion with upstream,
it's preferable to avoid using so many PCRs. Instead, measure into PCRs 8
and 9 but use a prefix in the event log to indicate which subsystem carried
out the measurements.
We want a single buffer that contains the entire kernel image in order to
perform a TPM measurement. Allocate one and copy the entire kernel int it
before pulling out the individual blocks later on.

The Secure Boot code currently reads the kernel from disk, validates the
signature and then reads it from disk again. A sufficiently exciting storage
device could modify the kernel between these two events and trigger the
execution of an untrusted kernel. Avoid re-reading it in order to ensure
this isn't a problem, and in the process speed up boot by not reading the
kernel twice.
