1dd00b1be8 nvme: Provide more useful debugging messages
When scanning fails it is useful to be able to decode what went wrong. Add
some debugging for this.

8f015d3781 x86: Improve the trampoline in 64-bit mode
At present this leaves the stack at the pre-relocation value. This is not
ideal since we want to have U-Boot running entirely from the top of
memory.

In addition, the new global_data pointer is not actually used, since
the global_data pointer itself is relocated, then the pre-relocation value
is changed, so the effective value (after relocation) does not update.

Adjust the implementation to follow the 32-bit code more closely, with a
trampoline function which is passed the new stack and global_data pointer.
This ensures that the correct values come through even when relocating.

- add tests to verify controllers are reconnected when uninstalling a
  protocol fails
- add tests to make sure EFI_NOT_FOUND is returned if a non existent

748cb553ff efi_loader: fix the return codes of UninstallProtocol
Up to now we did not check the return value of DisconnectController.
A previous patch is fixing that taking into account what happened during
the controller disconnect.  But that check takes place before our code
is trying to figure out if the interface exists to begin with.  In case a
driver is not allowed to unbind -- e.g returning EFI_DEVICE_ERROR, we
will end up returning that error instead of EFI_NOT_FOUND.

Add an extra check on the top of the function to make sure the protocol
interface exists before trying to disconnect any drivers

Instead of doing that,  check the return value early and exit if
disconnecting the drivers failed.  Also reconnect all the drivers of
a handle if protocols are still found on the handle after disconnecting
controllers and closing the remaining protocols.

While at it fix a memory leak and properly free the opened protocol

64948e247e powerpc: Fix flush_cache() speed regression
Flushing kernel image after decompression was taking 113 milliseconds
with U-boot 2022.10. With U-boot 2023.01 and 2023.04, flushing
the same amount of memory takes approx 1.5 seconds. With
U-boot 2023.07-rc6, it takes 6.5 seconds.

powerpc flush_cache() function used to call WATCHDOG_RESET() after
flushing every cacheline. At that time WATCHDOG_RESET() was light
so the operation was almost seamless.

But commit 29caf9305b ("cyclic: Use schedule() instead of
WATCHDOG_RESET()") replaced WATCHDOG_RESET() by schedule() and that
started to hurt with U-boot 2022.10.

And in U-boot 2023.07-rc6 that's even worse after
commit 26e8ebcd7c ("watchdog: mpc8xxx: Make it generic").

In the meantime commit 729c1fe656 ("powerpc: introduce
CONFIG_CACHE_FLUSH_WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD") gives us the opportinity to
only call schedule() every given chunk of data instead of every
cacheline. As explained in that commit there is no point in pinging
the watchdog after every cacheline flush, so lets define a sensible
default chunk size of 4k which matches to size of a page on most
powerpc platforms.

With that new default threshold, the culprit flushing performed after
kernel image decompression now takes 85 milliseconds on a powerpc 8xx.

Fixes: 29caf9305b ("cyclic: Use schedule() instead of WATCHDOG_RESET()")
