Currently each allocation creates a new mapping. Readding the mapping
as free memory (EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY) potentially allows to hand out
an existing mapping, thus limiting the number of mapping descriptors in
the memory map.
Mitigates a problem with current (4.8rc7) linux kernels when doing an
efi_get_memory map, resulting in an infinite loop. Space for the memory
map is reserved with allocate_pool (implicitly creating a new mapping) and
filled. If there is insufficient slack space (8 entries) in the map, the
space is freed and a new round is started, with space for one more entry.
As each round increases requirement and allocation by exactly one, there
is never enough slack space. (At least 32 entries are allocated, so as
long as there are less than 24 entries, there is enough slack).
Earlier kernels reserved no slack, and did less allocations, so this
problem was not visible.

We need a functional free_pool implementation, as otherwise each
allocate_pool causes growth of the memory descriptor table.
Different to free_pages, free_pool does not provide the size for the
to be freed allocation, thus we have to track the size ourselves.
As the only EFI requirement for pool allocation is an alignment of
8 bytes, we can keep allocating a range using the page allocator,
reserve the first 8 bytes for our bookkeeping and hand out the
remainder to the caller. This saves us from having to use any
independent data structures for tracking.
To simplify the conversion between pool allocations and the corresponding
page allocation, we create an auxiliary struct efi_pool_allocation.
Given the allocation size free_pool size can handoff freeing the page
range, which was indirectly allocated by a call to allocate_pool,
to free_pages.

As foundation for those changes, split the function into an externally

efi_allocate_pool() in efi_memory.c that handles the actual allocation.

A type mismatch in the efi_allocate_pool boot service flow causes
hazardous memory scribbling on 32-bit systems.
This is efi_allocate_pool's prototype:
static efi_status_t EFIAPI efi_allocate_pool(int pool_type,
unsigned long size,
void **buffer);
Internally, it invokes efi_allocate_pages as follows:
efi_allocate_pages(0, pool_type, (size + 0xfff) >> 12,
(void*)buffer);
This is efi_allocate_pages' prototype:
efi_status_t efi_allocate_pages(int type, int memory_type,
unsigned long pages,
uint64_t *memory);
The problem: efi_allocate_pages does this internally:
*memory = addr;
This fix in efi_allocate_pool uses a transitional uintptr_t cast to
ensure the correct outcome, irrespective of the system's native word
size.
This was observed when bootefi'ing the EFI instance of FreeBSD's first
stage bootstrap (boot1.efi) on a 32-bit ARM platform (Qemu VExpress +

The current efi_get_memory_map() function overwrites the map_size
property before reading its value. That way the sanity check whether our
memory map fits into the given array always succeeds, potentially
overwriting arbitrary payload memory.
This patch moves the property update write after its sanity check, so
that the check actually verifies the correct value.
So far this has not triggered any known bugs, but we're better off safe
than sorry.
If the buffer is to small, the returned memory_map_size indicates the

The EFI loader needs to maintain views of memory - general system memory
windows as well as used locations inside those and potential runtime service
MMIO windows.
To manage all of these, add a few helpers that maintain an internal
representation of the map the similar to how the EFI API later on reports
it to the application.
For allocations, the scheme is very simple. We basically allow allocations
to replace chunks of previously done maps, so that a new LOADER_DATA
allocation for example can remove a piece of the RAM map. When no specific
address is given, we just take the highest possible address in the lowest
RAM map that fits the allocation size.
