Hi Linus,
Please pull the EFI updates below. Details are in the tag.
Note that, even though the commit dates may suggest otherwise, most of these
changes have been in linux-next for at least a week or so before the merge
window opened, with the exception of the GCC 15 and kexec/x86 fixes (which are
tagged for stable). There were some last minute tweaks to James's efivarfs
patches that necessitated a partial rebase (implementing a suggestion by Al
Viro to combine struct inode and struct efivar_entry into a single object)
The following changes since commit 78d4f34e2115b517bcbfe7ec0d018bbbb6f9b0b8:
Linux 6.13-rc3 (2024-12-15 15:58:23 -0800)

x86/efi: skip memattr table on kexec boot (2025-01-23 09:58:43 +0100)
----------------------------------------------------------------
EFI updates for v6.14
- Increase the headroom in the EFI memory map allocation created by the
EFI stub. This is needed because event callbacks called during
ExitBootServices() may cause fragmentation, and reallocation is not
allowed after that.
- Drop obsolete UGA graphics code and switch to a more ergonomic API to
traverse handle buffers. Simplify some error paths using a __free()
helper while at it.
- Fix some W=1 warnings when CONFIG_EFI=n
- Rely on the dentry cache to keep track of the contents of the efivarfs
filesystem, rather than using a separate linked list.
- Improve and extend efivarfs test cases.
- Synchronize efivarfs with underlying variable store on resume from
hibernation - this is needed because the firmware itself or another OS
running on the same machine may have modified it.
- Fix x86 EFI stub build with GCC 15.
- Fix kexec/x86 false positive warning in EFI memory attributes table
sanity check.
----------------------------------------------------------------
