      efi_pstore: Add a format check for an existing variable name at erasing time · f94ec0c0
      Seiji Aguchi 提交于
      [Issue]
      
      a format of variable name has been updated to type, id, count and ctime
      to support holding multiple logs.
      
      Format of current variable name
        dump-type0-1-2-12345678
      
        type:0
        id:1
        count:2
        ctime:12345678
      
      On the other hand, if an old variable name before being updated
      remains, users can't erase it via /dev/pstore.
      
      Format of old variable name
        dump-type0-1-12345678
      
        type:0
        id:1
        ctime:12345678
      
      [Solution]
      
      This patch add a format check for the old variable name in a erase callback to make it erasable.

      efi_pstore: Add a sequence counter to a variable name · 755d4fe4
      Seiji Aguchi 提交于
      [Issue]
      
      Currently, a variable name, which identifies each entry, consists of type, id and ctime.
      But if multiple events happens in a short time, a second/third event may fail to log because
      efi_pstore can't distinguish each event with current variable name.
      
      [Solution]
      
      A reasonable way to identify all events precisely is introducing a sequence counter to
      the variable name.
      
      The sequence counter has already supported in a pstore layer with "oopscount".
      So, this patch adds it to a variable name.
      Also, it is passed to read/erase callbacks of platform drivers in accordance with
      the modification of the variable name.
      
        <before applying this patch>
       a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-12345678
       a variable name of second event: dump-type0-1-12345678
      
        type:0
        id:1
        ctime:12345678
      
       If multiple events happen in a short time, efi_pstore can't distinguish them because
       variable names are same among them.
      
        <after applying this patch>
      
       it can be distinguishable by adding a sequence counter as follows.
      
       a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-1-12345678
       a variable name of Second event: dump-type0-1-2-12345678
      
        type:0
        id:1
        sequence counter: 1(first event), 2(second event)
        ctime:12345678
      
      In case of a write callback executed in pstore_console_write(), "0" is added to
      an argument of the write callback because it just logs all kernel messages and
      doesn't need to care about multiple events.

      efi_pstore: Add ctime to argument of erase callback · a9efd39c
      Seiji Aguchi 提交于
      [Issue]
      
      Currently, a variable name, which is used to identify each log entry, consists of type,
      id and ctime. But an erase callback does not use ctime.
      
      If efi_pstore supported just one log, type and id were enough.
      However, in case of supporting multiple logs, it doesn't work because
      it can't distinguish each entry without ctime at erasing time.
      
       <Example>
      
       As you can see below, efi_pstore can't differentiate first event from second one without ctime.
      
       a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-12345678
       a variable name of second event: dump-type0-1-23456789
      
        type:0
        id:1
        ctime:12345678, 23456789
      
      [Solution]
      
      This patch adds ctime to an argument of an erase callback.
      
      It works across reboots because ctime of pstore means the date that the record was originally stored.
      To do this, efi_pstore saves the ctime to variable name at writing time and passes it to pstore
      at reading time.

      efi_pstore: Remove a logic erasing entries from a write callback to hold multiple logs · 96480d9c
      Seiji Aguchi 提交于
      [Issue]
      
      Currently, efi_pstore driver simply overwrites existing panic messages in NVRAM.
      So, in the following scenario, we will lose 1st panic messages.
      
      1. kernel panics.
      2. efi_pstore is kicked and writes panic messages to NVRAM.
      3. system reboots.
      4. kernel panics again before a user checks the 1st panic messages in NVRAM.
      
      [Solution]
      
      A reasonable solution to fix the issue is just holding multiple logs without erasing
      existing entries.
      This patch removes a logic erasing existing entries in a write callback
      because the logic is not needed in the write callback to support holding multiple logs.

      To support holding multiple logs, the write callback doesn't need to erase any entries and
      it will be removed in a subsequent patch.

      efi_pstore: Check remaining space with QueryVariableInfo() before writing data · d80a361d
      Seiji Aguchi 提交于
      [Issue]
      
      As discussed in a thread below, Running out of space in EFI isn't a well-tested scenario.
      And we wouldn't expect all firmware to handle it gracefully.
      http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=134305325801789&w=2
      
      On the other hand, current efi_pstore doesn't check a remaining space of storage at writing time.
      Therefore, efi_pstore may not work if it tries to write a large amount of data.
      
      [Patch Description]
      
      To avoid handling the situation above, this patch checks if there is a space enough to log with
      QueryVariableInfo() before writing data.

      efi: Validate UEFI boot variables · fec6c20b
      Matthew Garrett 提交于
      A common flaw in UEFI systems is a refusal to POST triggered by a malformed
      boot variable. Once in this state, machines may only be restored by
      reflashing their firmware with an external hardware device. While this is
      obviously a firmware bug, the serious nature of the outcome suggests that
      operating systems should filter their variable writes in order to prevent
      a malicious user from rendering the machine unusable.

      ibft: Fix finding IBFT ACPI table on UEFI · 935a9fee
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      Found one system with UEFI/iBFT, kernel does not detect the iBFT during
      iscsi_ibft module loading.
      
      Root cause: on x86 (UEFI), we are calling of find_ibft_region() much earlier
      - specifically in setup_arch() before ACPI is enabled.
      
      Try to split acpi checking code out and call that later
      
      At that time ACPI iBFT already get permanent mapped with ioremap.
      So isa_virt_to_bus() will get wrong phys from right virt address.
      We could just skip that phys address printing.
      
      For legacy one, print the found address early.
      
      -v2: update comments and description according to Konrad.
      -v3: fix problem about module use case that is found by Konrad.
      -v4: use acpi_get_table() instead of acpi_table_parse() to handle module use case that is found by Konrad again..
