Subject: [GIT PULL] efi/urgent for v5.15-rc6

Hi Linus,

please pull (forwarded) EFI urgent fixes for 5.15.

This is going to be the one before last EFI pull request going through
the tip tree and Ard will send stuff directly to you in the future.

 [ There's one more branch which we'll send to you during the upcoming
   merge window which should be the last one. ]

The reasoning being, EFI work doesn't really have a lot to do (only)
with x86 anymore.

Anyway, JFYI.

Please pull,
thx.

  efi: Change down_interruptible() in virt_efi_reset_system() to down_trylock() (2021-10-05 13:07:01 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
EFI fixes for v5.15

Low priority fixes but fixes nonetheless:
- update stub diagnostic print that is no longer accurate
- avoid statically allocated buffer for CPER error record decoding
- avoid sleeping on the efi_runtime semaphore when calling the
  ResetSystem EFI runtime service
