EFI: allow retry of ExitBootServices() call The specification is kind of vague under what conditions ExitBootServices() may legitimately fail, requiring the OS loader to retry: "If MapKey value is incorrect, ExitBootServices() returns EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER and GetMemoryMap() with ExitBootServices() must be called again. Firmware implementation may choose to do a partial shutdown of the boot services during the first call to ExitBootServices(). EFI OS loader should not make calls to any boot service function other then GetMemoryMap() after the first call to ExitBootServices()." While our code guarantees the map key to be valid, there are systems where a firmware internal notification sent while processing ExitBootServices() reportedly results in changes to the memory map. In that case, make a best effort second try: Avoid any boot service calls other than the two named above, with the possible exception of error paths. Those aren't a problem, since if we end up needing to retry, we're hosed when something goes wrong as much as if we didn't make the retry attempt. For x86, a minimal adjustment to efi_arch_process_memory_map() is needed for it to cope with potentially being called a second time. For arm64, while efi_process_memory_map_bootinfo() is easy to verify that it can safely be called more than once without violating spec constraints, it's not so obvious for fdt_add_uefi_nodes(), hence a step by step approach: - deletion of memory nodes and memory reserve map entries: the 2nd pass shouldn't find any as the 1st one deleted them all, - a "chosen" node should be found as it got added in the 1st pass, - the various "linux,uefi-*" nodes all got added during the 1st pass and hence only their contents may get updated.
