efi/x86: Handle by-ref arguments covering multiple pages in mixed mode
commit 8319e9d5ad98ffccd19f35664382c73cea216193 upstream. The mixed mode runtime wrappers are fragile when it comes to how the memory referred to by its pointer arguments are laid out in memory, due to the fact that it translates these addresses to physical addresses that the runtime services can dereference when running in 1:1 mode. Since vmalloc'ed pages (including the vmap'ed stack) are not contiguous in the physical address space, this scheme only works if the referenced memory objects do not cross page boundaries. Currently, the mixed mode runtime service wrappers require that all by-ref arguments that live in the vmalloc space have a size that is a power of 2, and are aligned to that same value. While this is a sensible way to construct an object that is guaranteed not to cross a page boundary, it is overly strict when it comes to checking whether a given object violates this requirement, as we can simply take the physical address of the first and the last byte, and verify that they point into the same physical page. When this check fails, we emit a WARN(), but then simply proceed with the call, which could cause data corruption if the next physical page belongs to a mapping that is entirely unrelated. Given that with vmap'ed stacks, this condition is much more likely to trigger, let's relax the condition a bit, but fail the runtime service call if it does trigger.
