[PATCH 5.4 066/222] x86/efistub: Disable paging at mixed mode entry

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

commit 4911ee401b7ceff8f38e0ac597cbf503d71e690c upstream.

The EFI mixed mode entry code goes through the ordinary startup_32()
routine before jumping into the kernel's EFI boot code in 64-bit
mode. The 32-bit startup code must be entered with paging disabled,
but this is not documented as a requirement for the EFI handover
protocol, and so we should disable paging explicitly when entering
the kernel from 32-bit EFI firmware.

[PATCH 5.4 072/222] efi/earlycon: Fix write-combine mapping on x86

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Arvind Sankar <nivedita@alum.mit.edu>

commit d92b54570d24d017d2630e314b525ed792f5aa6c upstream.

On x86, until PAT is initialized, WC translates into UC-. Since we
calculate and store pgprot_writecombine(PAGE_KERNEL) when earlycon is
initialized, this means we actually use UC- mappings instead of WC
mappings, which makes scrolling very slow.

Instead store a boolean flag to indicate whether we want to use
writeback or write-combine mappings, and recalculate the actual pgprot_t
we need on every mapping. Once PAT is initialized, we will start using
write-combine mappings, which speeds up the scrolling considerably.
