      efi/x86: Move x86 back to libstub · 243b6754
      Ard Biesheuvel 提交于
      This reverts commit 84be8805, which itself reverted my original
      attempt to move x86 from #include'ing .c files from across the tree
      to using the EFI stub built as a static library.
      
      The issue that affected the original approach was that splitting
      the implementation into several .o files resulted in the variable
      'efi_early' becoming a global with external linkage, which under
      -fPIC implies that references to it must go through the GOT. However,
      dealing with this additional GOT entry turned out to be troublesome
      on some EFI implementations. (GCC's visibility=hidden attribute is
      supposed to lift this requirement, but it turned out not to work on
      the 32-bit build.)
      
      Instead, use a pure getter function to get a reference to efi_early.
      This approach results in no additional GOT entries being generated,
      so there is no need for any changes in the early GOT handling.

      Revert "efi/x86: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>" · 84be8805
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      This reverts commit f23cf8bd ("efi/x86: efistub: Move shared
      dependencies to <asm/efi.h>") as well as the x86 parts of commit
      f4f75ad5 ("efi: efistub: Convert into static library").
      
      The road leading to these two reverts is long and winding.
      
      The above two commits were merged during the v3.17 merge window and
      turned the common EFI boot stub code into a static library. This
      necessitated making some symbols global in the x86 boot stub which
      introduced new entries into the early boot GOT.
      
      The problem was that we weren't fixing up the newly created GOT entries
      before invoking the EFI boot stub, which sometimes resulted in hangs or
      resets. This failure was reported by Maarten on his Macbook pro.
      
      The proposed fix was commit 9cb0e394 ("x86/efi: Fixup GOT in all
      boot code paths"). However, that caused issues for Linus when booting
      his Sony Vaio Pro 11. It was subsequently reverted in commit
      f3670394.
      
      So that leaves us back with Maarten's Macbook pro not booting.
      
      At this stage in the release cycle the least risky option is to revert
      the x86 EFI boot stub to the pre-merge window code structure where we
      explicitly #include efi-stub-helper.c instead of linking with the static
      library. The arm64 code remains unaffected.
      
      We can take another swing at the x86 parts for v3.18.

      x86, efi: EFI boot stub support · 291f3632
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      There is currently a large divide between kernel development and the
      development of EFI boot loaders. The idea behind this patch is to give
      the kernel developers full control over the EFI boot process. As
      H. Peter Anvin put it,
      
      "The 'kernel carries its own stub' approach been very successful in
      dealing with BIOS, and would make a lot of sense to me for EFI as
      well."
      
      This patch introduces an EFI boot stub that allows an x86 bzImage to
      be loaded and executed by EFI firmware. The bzImage appears to the
      firmware as an EFI application. Luckily there are enough free bits
      within the bzImage header so that it can masquerade as an EFI
      application, thereby coercing the EFI firmware into loading it and
      jumping to its entry point. The beauty of this masquerading approach
      is that both BIOS and EFI boot loaders can still load and run the same
      bzImage, thereby allowing a single kernel image to work in any boot
      environment.
      
      The EFI boot stub supports multiple initrds, but they must exist on
      the same partition as the bzImage. Command-line arguments for the
      kernel can be appended after the bzImage name when run from the EFI
      shell, e.g.
      
      Shell> bzImage console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sdb initrd=initrd.img
      
      v7:
       - Fix checkpatch warnings.
      
      v6:
      
       - Try to allocate initrd memory just below hdr->inird_addr_max.
      
      v5:
      
       - load_options_size is UTF-16, which needs dividing by 2 to convert
         to the corresponding ASCII size.
      
      v4:
      
       - Don't read more than image->load_options_size
      
      v3:
      
       - Fix following warnings when compiling CONFIG_EFI_STUB=n
      
         arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c: In function ‘main’:
         arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:24: warning: unused variable ‘pe_header’
         arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:15: warning: unused variable ‘file_sz’
      
       - As reported by Matthew Garrett, some Apple machines have GOPs that
         don't have hardware attached. We need to weed these out by
         searching for ones that handle the PCIIO protocol.
      
       - Don't allocate memory if no initrds are on cmdline
       - Don't trust image->load_options_size
      
      Maarten Lankhorst noted:
       - Don't strip first argument when booted from efibootmgr
       - Don't allocate too much memory for cmdline
       - Don't update cmdline_size, the kernel considers it read-only
       - Don't accept '\n' for initrd names
      
      v2:
      
       - File alignment was too large, was 8192 should be 512. Reported by
         Maarten Lankhorst on LKML.
       - Added UGA support for graphics
       - Use VIDEO_TYPE_EFI instead of hard-coded number.
       - Move linelength assignment until after we've assigned depth
       - Dynamically fill out AddressOfEntryPoint in tools/build.c
       - Don't use magic number for GDT/TSS stuff. Requested by Andi Kleen
       - The bzImage may need to be relocated as it may have been loaded at
         a high address address by the firmware. This was required to get my
         macbook booting because the firmware loaded it at 0x7cxxxxxx, which
         triggers this error in decompress_kernel(),
      
      	if (heap > ((-__PAGE_OFFSET-(128<<20)-1) & 0x7fffffff))
      		error("Destination address too large");
