Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Cleanup of the GOP [graphics output] handling code in the EFI stub

   - Complete refactoring of the mixed mode handling in the x86 EFI stub

   - Overhaul of the x86 EFI boot/runtime code

   - Increase robustness for mixed mode code

   - Add the ability to disable DMA at the root port level in the EFI
     stub

   - Get rid of RWX mappings in the EFI memory map and page tables,
     where possible

   - Move the support code for the old EFI memory mapping style into its
     only user, the SGI UV1+ support code.

   - plus misc fixes, updates, smaller cleanups.

  ... and due to interactions with the RWX changes, another round of PAT
  cleanups make a guest appearance via the EFI tree - with no side
  effects intended"

<title>mm/vmalloc: Add empty &lt;asm/vmalloc.h&gt; headers and use them from &lt;linux/vmalloc.h&gt;</title>

In the x86 MM code we'd like to untangle various types of historic
header dependency spaghetti, but for this we'd need to pass to
the generic vmalloc code various vmalloc related defines that
customarily come via the &lt;asm/page.h&gt; low level arch header.

<title>alpha: use pgtable-nopud instead of 4level-fixup</title>

Patch series "mm: remove __ARCH_HAS_4LEVEL_HACK", v13.

These patches convert several architectures to use page table folding
and remove __ARCH_HAS_4LEVEL_HACK along with
include/asm-generic/4level-fixup.h.

For the nommu configurations the folding is already implemented by the
generic code so the only change was to use the appropriate header file.

As for the rest, the changes are mostly about mechanical replacement of
pgd accessors with pud/pmd ones and the addition of higher levels to
page table traversals.

With Vineet's patches from "elide extraneous generated code for folded
p4d/pud/pmd" series [1] there is a small shrink of the kernel size of
about -0.01% for the defconfig builds.

This patch (of 13):

It is not likely alpha will have 5-level page tables.

Replace usage of include/asm-generic/4level-fixup.h and implied
__ARCH_HAS_4LEVEL_HACK with include/asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h and
adjust page table manipulation macros and functions accordingly.

<content type='text'>
Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.

Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

alpha allocates PTE pages with __get_free_page() and uses
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO for the allocations.

Switch it to the generic version that does exactly the same thing for the
kernel page tables and adds __GFP_ACCOUNT for the user PTEs.

The alpha pte_free() and pte_free_kernel() versions are identical to the
generic ones and can be simply dropped.
