efivars.c has grown far too large and needs to be divided up. Create a new directory and move the persistence storage code to efi-pstore.c now that it uses the new efivar API. This helps us to greatly reduce the size of efivars.c and paves the way for moving other code out of efivars.c. Note that because CONFIG_EFI_VARS can be built as a module efi-pstore must also include support for building as a module.

There isn't really a formal interface for dealing with EFI variables or struct efivar_entry. Historically, this has led to various bits of code directly accessing the generic EFI variable ops, which inherently ties it to specific EFI variable operations instead of indirectly using whatever ops were registered with register_efivars(). This lead to the efivarfs code only working with the generic EFI variable ops and not CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI. Encapsulate everything that needs to access '__efivars' inside an efivar_entry_* API and use the new API in the pstore, sysfs and efivarfs code. Much of the efivars code had to be rewritten to use this new API. For instance, it is now up to the users of the API to build the initial list of EFI variables in their efivar_init() callback function. The variable list needs to be passed to efivar_init() which allows us to keep work arounds for things like implementation bugs in GetNextVariable() in a central location. Allowing users of the API to use a callback function to build the list greatly benefits the efivarfs code which needs to allocate inodes and dentries for every variable. It previously did this in a racy way because the code ran without holding the variable spinlock. Both the sysfs and efivarfs code maintain their own lists which means the two interfaces can be running simultaneously without interference, though it should be noted that because no synchronisation is performed it is very easy to create inconsistencies. efibootmgr doesn't currently use efivarfs and users are likely to also require the old sysfs interface, so it makes sense to allow both to be built.

Some machines have an EFI variable interface that does not conform to the UEFI specification, e.g. CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI. Add the necessary code so that it's only possible to use one implementation of EFI variable operations at runtime. This allows us to keep a single (file-scope) global pointer 'struct efivars', which simplifies access. This will hopefully dissuade developers from accessing the generic operations struct directly in the future, as was done in the efivarfs and pstore code, thereby allowing future code to work with both the generic efivar ops and the google SMI ops. This may seem like a step backwards in terms of modularity, but we don't need to track more than one 'struct efivars' at one time. There is no synchronisation done between multiple EFI variable operations, and according to Mike no one is using both the generic EFI var ops and CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI simultaneously, though a single kernel build _does_ need to able to support both. It also helps to clearly highlight which functions form the core of the efivars interface - those that require access to __efivars.

It's not wise to assume VariableNameSize represents the length of VariableName, as not all firmware updates VariableNameSize in the same way (some don't update it at all if EFI_SUCCESS is returned). There are even implementations out there that update VariableNameSize with values that are both larger than the string returned in VariableName and smaller than the buffer passed to GetNextVariableName(), which resulted in the following bug report from Michael Schroeder, > On HP z220 system (firmware version 1.54), some EFI variables are > incorrectly named : > > ls -d /sys/firmware/efi/vars/*8be4d* | grep -v -- -8be returns > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/dbxDefault-pport8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/KEKDefault-pport8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/SecureBoot-pport8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/SetupMode-Information8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c The issue here is that because we blindly use VariableNameSize without verifying its value, we can potentially read garbage values from the buffer containing VariableName if VariableNameSize is larger than the length of VariableName. Since VariableName is a string, we can calculate its size by searching for the terminating NULL character.

We know that with some firmware implementations writing too much data to UEFI variables can lead to bricking machines. Recent changes attempt to address this issue, but for some it may still be prudent to avoid writing large amounts of data until the solution has been proven on a wide variety of hardware. Crash dumps or other data from pstore can potentially be a large data source. Add a pstore_module parameter to efivars to allow disabling its use as a backend for pstore. Also add a config option, CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE, to allow setting the default value of this paramter to true (i.e. disabled by default).

Stricter validation was introduced with commit da27a243 ("efivarfs: guid part of filenames are case-insensitive") and commit 47f531e8 ("efivarfs: Validate filenames much more aggressively"), which is necessary for the guid portion of efivarfs filenames, but we don't need to be so strict with the first part, the variable name. The UEFI specification doesn't impose any constraints on variable names other than they be a NULL-terminated string. The above commits caused a regression that resulted in users seeing the following message, $ sudo mount -v /sys/firmware/efi/efivars mount: Cannot allocate memory whenever pstore EFI variables were present in the variable store, since their variable names failed to pass the following check, /* GUID should be right after the first '-' */ if (s - 1 != strchr(str, '-')) as a typical pstore filename is of the form, dump-type0-10-1-<guid>. The fix is trivial since the guid portion of the filename is GUID_LEN bytes, we can use (len - GUID_LEN) to ensure the '-' character is where we expect it to be.

UEFI variables are typically stored in flash. For various reasons, avaiable space is typically not reclaimed immediately upon the deletion of a variable - instead, the system will garbage collect during initialisation after a reboot. Some systems appear to handle this garbage collection extremely poorly, failing if more than 50% of the system flash is in use. This can result in the machine refusing to boot. The safest thing to do for the moment is to forbid writes if they'd end up using more than half of the storage space. We can make this more finegrained later if we come up with a method for identifying the broken machines.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-" and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules to match. A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel. Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially making things safer with no real cost. Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe, well understood work-arounds to known problematic software. This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module autofs4. This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module. After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module() without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep. Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT, which most filesystems do not set today.

When (hot)adding memory into system, /sys/firmware/memmap/X/{end, start, type} sysfs files are created. But there is no code to remove these files. This patch implements the function to remove them. We cannot free firmware_map_entry which is allocated by bootmem because there is no way to do so when the system is up. But we can at least remember the address of that memory and reuse the storage when the memory is added next time. This patch also introduces a new list map_entries_bootmem to link the map entries allocated by bootmem when they are removed, and a lock to protect it. And these entries will be reused when the memory is hot-added again. The idea is suggestted by Andrew Morton. NOTE: It is unsafe to return an entry pointer and release the map_entries_lock. So we should not hold the map_entries_lock separately in firmware_map_find_entry() and firmware_map_remove_entry(). Hold the map_entries_lock across find and remove /sys/firmware/memmap/X operation. And also, users of these two functions need to be careful to hold the lock when using these two functions.

[Problem] efi_pstore creates sysfs entries, which enable users to access to NVRAM, in a write callback. If a kernel panic happens in an interrupt context, it may fail because it could sleep due to dynamic memory allocations during creating sysfs entries. [Patch Description] This patch removes sysfs operations from a write callback by introducing a workqueue updating sysfs entries which is scheduled after the write callback is called. Also, the workqueue is kicked in a just oops case. A system will go down in other cases such as panic, clean shutdown and emergency restart. And we don't need to create sysfs entries because there is no chance for users to access to them. efi_pstore will be robust against a kernel panic in an interrupt context with this patch.

[Problem] There is a scenario which efi_pstore fails to log messages in a panic case. - CPUA holds an efi_var->lock in either efivarfs parts or efi_pstore with interrupt enabled. - CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop(). - CPUA stops with holding the lock. - CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC) but it returns without logging messages. [Patch Description] This patch disables an external interruption while holding efivars->lock as follows. In efi_pstore_write() and get_var_data(), spin_lock/spin_unlock is replaced by spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore because they may be called in an interrupt context. In other functions, they are replaced by spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq. because they are all called from a process context. By applying this patch, we can avoid the problem above with a following senario. - CPUA holds an efi_var->lock with interrupt disabled. - CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop(). - CPUA receives the IPI after releasing the lock because it is disabling interrupt while holding the lock. - CPUB waits for one sec until CPUA releases the lock. - CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC) And it can hold the lock successfully.

The only thing that efivarfs does to enforce a valid filename is ensure that the name isn't too short. We need to strongly sanitise any filenames, not least because variable creation is delayed until efivarfs_file_write(), which means we can't rely on the firmware to inform us of an invalid name, because if the file is never written to we'll never know it's invalid. Perform a couple of steps before agreeing to create a new file, * hex_to_bin() returns a value indicating whether or not it was able to convert its arguments to a binary representation - we should check it. * Ensure that the GUID portion of the filename is the correct length and format. * The variable name portion of the filename needs to be at least one character in size.

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware. The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become bricked. Also, the following report, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression, if (!efi_enabled) hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time. Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons - what they really want access to is the list of available EFI facilities. For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things). This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

Unlike the unlink path that is called from the VFS layer, we need to call d_delete() ourselves when a variable is deleted in efivarfs_file_write(). Failure to do so means we can access a stale struct efivar_entry when reading/writing the file, which can result in the following oops, [ 59.978216] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 60.038660] CPU 9 [ 60.040501] Pid: 1001, comm: cat Not tainted 3.7.0-2.fc19.x86_64 #1 IBM System x3550 M3 -[7944I21]-/69Y4438 [ 60.050840] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff810d5d1e>] [<ffffffff810d5d1e>] __lock_acquire+0x5e/0x1bb0 [ 60.059198] RSP: 0018:ffff880270595ce8 EFLAGS: 00010046 [ 60.064500] RAX: 0000000000000046 RBX: 0000000000000002 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 60.071617] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b83 [ 60.078735] RBP: ffff880270595dd8 R08: 0000000000000002 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 60.085852] R10: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b83 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000000 [ 60.092971] R13: ffff88027170cd20 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 [ 60.100091] FS: 00007fc0c8ff3740(0000) GS:ffff880277000000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 60.108164] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 60.113899] CR2: 0000000001520000 CR3: 000000026d594000 CR4: 00000000000007e0 [ 60.121016] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 60.128135] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 60.135254] Process cat (pid: 1001, threadinfo ffff880270594000, task ffff88027170cd20) [ 60.143239] Stack: [ 60.145251] ffff880270595cf8 ffffffff81021da3 ffff880270595d08 ffffffff81021e19 [ 60.152714] ffff880270595d38 ffffffff810acdb5 ffff880200000168 0000000000000086 [ 60.160175] ffff88027170d5e8 ffffffff810d25ed ffff880270595d58 ffffffff810ace7f [ 60.167638] Call Trace: [ 60.170088] [<ffffffff81021da3>] ? native_sched_clock+0x13/0x80 [ 60.176085] [<ffffffff81021e19>] ? sched_clock+0x9/0x10 [ 60.181389] [<ffffffff810acdb5>] ? sched_clock_cpu+0xc5/0x120 [ 60.187211] [<ffffffff810d25ed>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xd/0x10 [ 60.193121] [<ffffffff810ace7f>] ? local_clock+0x6f/0x80 [ 60.198513] [<ffffffff810d2f6f>] ? lock_release_holdtime.part.26+0xf/0x180 [ 60.205465] [<ffffffff810d7b57>] ? lock_release_non_nested+0x2e7/0x320 [ 60.212073] [<ffffffff815638bb>] ? efivarfs_file_write+0x5b/0x280 [ 60.218242] [<ffffffff810d7f41>] lock_acquire+0xa1/0x1f0 [ 60.223633] [<ffffffff81563971>] ? efivarfs_file_write+0x111/0x280 [ 60.229892] [<ffffffff8118b47c>] ? might_fault+0x5c/0xb0 [ 60.235287] [<ffffffff816f1bf6>] _raw_spin_lock+0x46/0x80 [ 60.240762] [<ffffffff81563971>] ? efivarfs_file_write+0x111/0x280 [ 60.247018] [<ffffffff81563971>] efivarfs_file_write+0x111/0x280 [ 60.253103] [<ffffffff811d307f>] vfs_write+0xaf/0x190 [ 60.258233] [<ffffffff811d33d5>] sys_write+0x55/0xa0 [ 60.263278] [<ffffffff816fbd19>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 60.269271] Code: 41 0f 45 d8 4c 89 75 f0 4c 89 7d f8 85 c0 0f 84 09 01 00 00 8b 05 a3 f9 ff 00 49 89 fa 41 89 f6 41 89 d3 85 c0 0f 84 12 01 00 00 <49> 8b 02 ba 01 00 00 00 48 3d a0 07 14 82 0f 44 da 41 83 fe 01 [ 60.289431] RIP [<ffffffff810d5d1e>] __lock_acquire+0x5e/0x1bb0 [ 60.295444] RSP <ffff880270595ce8> [ 60.298928] ---[ end trace 1bbfd41a2cf6a0d8 ]--- Cc: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com> Acked-by: NJeremy Kerr <jeremy.kerr@canonical.com> Cc: Lee, Chun-Yi <jlee@suse.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Reported-by: NLingzhu Xiang <lxiang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NMatt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

Files are created in efivarfs_create() before a corresponding variable is created in the firmware. This leads to users being able to read/write to the file without the variable existing in the firmware. Reading a non-existent variable currently returns -ENOENT, which is confusing because the file obviously *does* exist. Convert EFI_NOT_FOUND into -EIO which is the closest thing to "error while interacting with firmware", and should hopefully indicate to the caller that the variable is in some uninitialised state.

[Issue] There is a scenario which efi_pstore may hang up: - cpuA grabs efivars->lock - cpuB panics and calls smp_send_stop - smp_send_stop sends IRQ to cpuA - after 1 second, cpuB gives up on cpuA and sends an NMI instead - cpuA is now in an NMI handler while still holding efivars->lock - cpuB is deadlocked This case may happen if a firmware has a bug and cpuA is stuck talking with it. [Solution] This patch changes a spin_lock to a spin_trylock in non-blocking paths. and if the spin_lock has already taken by another cpu, it returns without accessing to a firmware to avoid the deadlock.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

The right dmi version is in SMBIOS if it's zero in DMI region This issue was originally found from an oracle bug. One customer noticed system UUID doesn't match between dmidecode & uek2. - HP ProLiant BL460c G6 : # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid 00000000-0000-4C48-3031-4D5030333531 # dmidecode | grep -i uuid UUID: 00000000-0000-484C-3031-4D5030333531 From SMBIOS 2.6 on, spec use little-endian encoding for UUID other than network byte order. So we need to get dmi version to distinguish. If version is 0.0, the real version is taken from the SMBIOS version. This is part of original kernel comment in code.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.
