GRUB currently relies on the magic number in the image header of ARM and
arm64 EFI kernel images to decide whether or not the image in question
is a bootable kernel.
However, the purpose of the magic number is to identify the image as one
that implements the bare metal boot protocol, and so GRUB, which only
does EFI boot, is limited unnecessarily to booting images that could
potentially be booted in a non-EFI manner as well.
This is problematic for the new zboot decompressor image format, as it
can only boot in EFI mode, and must therefore not use the bare metal
boot magic number in its header.
For this reason, the strict magic number was dropped from GRUB, to
permit essentially any kind of EFI executable to be booted via the
'linux' command, blurring the line between the linux loader and the
chainloader.
So let's use the same field in the DOS header that RISC-V and arm64
already use for their 'bare metal' magic numbers to store a 'generic
Linux kernel' magic number, which can be used to identify bootable
kernel images in PE format which don't necessarily implement a bare
metal boot protocol in the same binary. Note that, in the context of
EFI, the MS-DOS header is only described in terms of the fields that it
shares with the hybrid PE/COFF image format, (i.e., the MS-DOS EXE magic
number at offset #0 and the PE header offset at byte offset #0x3c).
Since we aim for compatibility with EFI only, and not with MS-DOS or
MS-Windows, we can use the remaining space in the MS-DOS header however
we want.
Let's set the generic magic number for x86 images as well: existing
bootloaders already have their own methods to identify x86 Linux images
that can be booted in a non-EFI manner, and having the magic number in
place there will ease any future transitions in loader implementations
to merge the x86 and non-x86 EFI boot paths.
Note that 32-bit ARM already uses the same location in the header for a
different purpose, but the ARM support is already widely implemented and
the EFI zboot decompressor is not available on ARM anyway, so we just
disregard it here.

Inspired by commit 9fb7410f955("arm64/BUG: Use BRK instruction for
generic BUG traps"), do similar for LoongArch to use generic BUG()
handler.
This patch uses the BREAK software breakpoint instruction to generate
a trap instead, similarly to most other arches, with the generic BUG
code generating the dmesg boilerplate.
This allows bug metadata to be moved to a separate table and reduces
the amount of inline code at BUG() and WARN() sites. This also avoids
clobbering any registers before they can be dumped.
To mitigate the size of the bug table further, this patch makes use of
the existing infrastructure for encoding addresses within the bug table
as 32-bit relative pointers instead of absolute pointers.
(Note: this limits the max kernel size to 2GB.)

If explicit relocation hints are used by the toolchain, -Wa,-mla-*
options will be useless for the C code. So only use them for the
!CONFIG_AS_HAS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS case.
Replace "la" with "la.pcrel" in head.S to keep the semantic consistent
with new and old toolchains for the low level startup code.
For per-CPU variables, the "address" of the symbol is actually an offset
from $r21. The value is near the loading address of main kernel image,
but far from the loading address of modules. So we use model("extreme")
attibute to tell the compiler that a PC-relative addressing with 32-bit
offset is not sufficient for local per-CPU variables.
The behavior with different assemblers and compilers are summarized in
the following table:
AS has CC has
explicit relocs explicit relocs * Behavior
==============================================================
No No Use la.* macros.
No change from Linux 6.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------
No Yes Disable explicit relocs.
No change from Linux 6.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yes No Not supported.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yes Yes Enable explicit relocs.
No -Wa,-mla* options used.
==============================================================
*: We assume CC must have model attribute if it has explicit relocs.
Both features are added in GCC 13 development cycle, so any GCC
release >= 13 should be OK. Using early GCC 13 development snapshots
may produce modules with unsupported relocations.

LoongArch does not use FDT or DT natively [yet], and the only reason it
currently uses it is so that it can reuse the existing EFI stub code.
Overloading the DT with data passed between the EFI stub and the core
kernel has been a source of problems: there is the overlap between
information provided by EFI which DT can also provide (initrd base/size,
command line, memory descriptions), requiring us to reason about which
is which and what to prioritize. It has also resulted in ABI leaks,
i.e., internal ABI being promoted to external ABI inadvertently because
the bootloader can set the EFI stub's DT properties as well (e.g.,
"kaslr-seed"). This has become especially problematic with boot
environments that want to pretend that EFI boot is being done (to access
ACPI and SMBIOS tables, for instance) but have no ability to execute the
EFI stub, and so the environment that the EFI stub creates is emulated
[poorly, in some cases].
Another downside of treating DT like this is that the DT binary that the
kernel receives is different from the one created by the firmware, which
is undesirable in the context of secure and measured boot.
Given that LoongArch support in Linux is brand new, we can avoid these
pitfalls, and treat the DT strictly as a hardware description, and use a
separate handover method between the EFI stub and the kernel. Now that
initrd loading and passing the EFI memory map have been refactored into
pure EFI routines that use EFI configuration tables, the only thing we
need to pass directly is the kernel command line (even if we could pass
this via a config table as well, it is used extremely early, so passing
it directly is preferred in this case.)

This patch adds efistub booting support, which is the standard UEFI boot
protocol for LoongArch to use.
We use generic efistub, which means we can pass boot information (i.e.,
system table, memory map, kernel command line, initrd) via a light FDT
and drop a lot of non-standard code.
We use a flat mapping to map the efi runtime in the kernel's address
space. In efi, VA = PA; in kernel, VA = PA + PAGE_OFFSET. As a result,
flat mapping is not identity mapping, SetVirtualAddressMap() is still
needed for the efi runtime.

The kernel entry points of both boot CPU (i.e., kernel_entry) and non-
boot CPUs (i.e., smpboot_entry) may be physical address from BootLoader
(in DA mode or identity-mapping PG mode). So we should jump to the link
address before PG enabled (because DA is disabled at the same time) and
just after DMW configured.
Specifically: With some older firmwares, non-boot CPUs started with PG
enabled, but this need firmware cooperation in the form of a temporary
page table, which is deemed unnecessary. OTOH, latest firmware versions
configure the non-boot CPUs to start in DA mode, so kernel-side changes
are needed.

Add basic boot, setup and reset routines for LoongArch. Now, LoongArch
machines use UEFI-based firmware. The firmware passes configuration
information to the kernel via ACPI and DMI/SMBIOS.
Currently an existing interface between the kernel and the bootloader
is implemented. Kernel gets 2 values from the bootloader, passed in
registers a0 and a1; a0 is an "EFI boot flag" distinguishing UEFI and
non-UEFI firmware, while a1 is a pointer to an FDT with systable,
memmap, cmdline and initrd information.
The standard UEFI boot protocol (EFISTUB) will be added later.
