[PATCH v3 0/4] x86: Always try to fill acpi_rsdp_addr in boot params

[Kairui Song]

This patch sync the behavior of user space kexec and kexec_file_load,
they will both fill the boot_params.acpi_rsdp_addr with a valid RSDP
value, to make sure second kernel can always get the RSDP consistently.

This will make it effortless to boot newer version of kernel (5.0+)
without specifying acpi_rsdp= cmdline on EFI system even with EFI
service disabled. Should not change any behavior with older kernels.

Update from V2:
  - Drop unneeded 'packed' attribute for boot parameters structure
  - Don't trust kernel cmdline as a reliable acpi rsdp source

Update from V1:
  - Split into multiple patches for a cleaner structure, content is not
    changed.

[PATCH v3 1/4] x86: Update boot parameters defination

[Kairui Song]

Since kernel commit e6e094e053af75 ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address
from boot params if available"), kernel accept a acpi_rsdp_addr param in
boot_params. Sync the x86_linux_param_header to support this param.

[PATCH v3 2/4] x86: Introduce helpers for getting RSDP address

[Kairui Song]

On x86 RSDP is fundamental for booting the machine. When second kernel
is incapable of parsing the RSDP address (eg. kexec next kernel on an EFI
system with EFI service disabled), kexec should prepare the RSDP address
for second kernel.

Introduce helpers for getting RSDP from multiple sources, including boot
params and EFI firmware.

For legacy BIOS interface, there is no better way to find the RSDP address
rather than scanning the memory region and search for it, and this will
always be done by the kernel as a fallback, so this is no need to try to
get the RSDP address for that case.

[PATCH v3 3/4] x86: Always try to fill acpi_rsdp_addr in boot params

[Kairui Song]

Since kernel commit e6e094e053af75 ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address
from boot params if available"), kernel accept an acpi_rsdp_addr param in
boot_params. So fill in this parameter unconditionally, ensure second
kernel always get the right RSDP address consistently, and boot well on
EFI system even with EFI service disabled. User no longer need to change
the kernel cmdline to workaround the missing RSDP issue.

For older version of kernels (Before 5.0), there won't be any change of
behavior.
