We need a way to customize the behaviour of the EFI boot stub, in particular, we need a way to disable the "chunking" workaround, used when reading files from the EFI System Partition. One of my machines doesn't cope well when reading files in 1MB chunks to a buffer above the 4GB mark - it appears that the "chunking" bug workaround triggers another firmware bug. This was only discovered with commit 4bf7111f ("x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G"), and that commit is perfectly valid. The symptom I observed was a corrupt initrd rather than any kind of crash. efi= is now used to specify EFI parameters in two very different execution environments, the EFI boot stub and during kernel boot. There is also a slight performance optimization by enabling efi=nochunk, but that's offset by the fact that you're more likely to run into firmware issues, at least on x86. This is the rationale behind leaving the workaround enabled by default. Also provide some documentation for EFI_READ_CHUNK_SIZE and why we're using the current value of 1MB.

This patch changes both x86 and arm64 efistub implementations from #including shared .c files under drivers/firmware/efi to building shared code as a static library. The x86 code uses a stub built into the boot executable which uncompresses the kernel at boot time. In this case, the library is linked into the decompressor. In the arm64 case, the stub is part of the kernel proper so the library is linked into the kernel proper as well.

In order to move from the #include "../../../xxxxx.c" anti-pattern used by both the x86 and arm64 versions of the stub to a static library linked into either the kernel proper (arm64) or a separate boot executable (x86), there is some prepatory work required. This patch does the following: - move forward declarations of functions shared between the arch specific and the generic parts of the stub to include/linux/efi.h - move forward declarations of functions shared between various .c files of the generic stub code to a new local header file called "efistub.h" - add #includes to all .c files which were formerly relying on the #includor to include the correct header files - remove all static modifiers from functions which will need to be externally visible once we move to a static library Signed-off-by: NArd Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NMatt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

An #ifdef CONFIG_ARM clause in efi-stub-helper.c got included with some of the generic stub rework by Roy Franz. Drop it here to make subsequent patches less confusing. Also, In handle_cmdline_files(), fh is not initialized, and while the overall logic around this handling appears safe, gcc does not always pick this up.

We're currently passing the file handle for the root file system to efi_file_read() and efi_file_close(), instead of the file handle for the file we wish to read/close. While this has worked up until now, it seems that it has only been by pure luck. Olivier explains, "The issue is the UEFI Fat driver might return the same function for 'fh->read()' and 'h->read()'. While in our case it does not work with a different implementation of EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. In our case, we return a different pointer when reading a directory and reading a file." Fixing this actually clears up the two functions because we can drop one of the arguments, and instead only pass a file 'handle' argument.

The ARM EFI boot stub doesn't need to care about the efi_early infrastructure that x86 requires in order to do mixed mode thunking. So wrap everything up in an efi_call_early() macro. This allows x86 to do the necessary indirection jumps to call whatever firmware interface is necessary (native or mixed mode), but also allows the ARM folks to mask the fact that they don't support relocation in the boot stub and need to pass 'sys_table_arg' to every function.

It's not possible to dereference the EFI System table directly when booting a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit EFI firmware because the size of pointers don't match. In preparation for supporting the above use case, build a list of function pointers on boot so that callers don't have to worry about converting pointer sizes through multiple levels of indirection.

Remove a redundant memset() call from efi_relocate_kernel() that was clearing memory that would be used by BSS in non-compressed images loaded with this function.

EFI calls can made directly on ARM, so the function pointers are directly invoked. This allows types to be checked at compile time, so here we ensure that the parameters match the function signature. The wrappers used by x86 prevent any type checking. Correct the type of chunksize to be based on native width as specified by the EFI_FILE_PROTOCOL read() function.

Add system table pointer argument to shared EFI stub related functions so they no longer use a global system table pointer as they did when part of eboot.c. For the ARM EFI stub this allows us to avoid global variables completely and thereby not have to deal with GOT fixups. Not having the EFI stub fixup its GOT, which is shared with the decompressor, simplifies the relocating of the zImage to a bootable address.
