[PATCH v3] arm64/efi: don't pad between EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME regions

[Ard Biesheuvel]

The new Properties Table feature introduced in UEFIv2.5 may split
memory regions that cover PE/COFF memory images into separate code
and data regions. Since these regions only differ in the type (runtime
code vs runtime data) and the permission bits, but not in the memory
type attributes (UC/WC/WT/WB), the spec does not require them to be
aligned to 64 KB.

Since the relative offset of PE/COFF .text and .data segments cannot
be changed on the fly, this means that we can no longer pad out those
regions to be mappable using 64 KB pages.
Unfortunately, there is no annotation in the UEFI memory map that
identifies data regions that were split off from a code region, so we
must apply this logic to all adjacent runtime regions whose attributes
only differ in the permission bits.

So instead of rounding each memory region to 64 KB alignment at both
ends, only round down regions that are not directly preceded by another
runtime region with the same type attributes. Since the UEFI spec does
not mandate that the memory map be sorted, this means we also need to
sort it first.

Note that this change will result in all EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME regions whose
start addresses are not aligned to the OS page size to be mapped with
executable permissions (i.e., on kernels compiled with 64 KB pages).
However, since these mappings are only active during the time that UEFI
Runtime Services are being invoked, the window for abuse is rather small.

Changes since v2:
- break down complex if() condition into helper functions to test for adjacency
  and compatible memory types
- update commit log to emphasize that this patch may result in data regions to
  be mapped with exec permissions on 64k pages kernels.
- no functional changes

Changes since v1:
- Ensure that we don't inadvertently set the XN bit on the preceding region at
  mapping time if we the OS is running with >4 KB pages.
