      efi: be more paranoid about available space when creating variables · 68d92986
      Matthew Garrett 提交于
      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.

      efi_pstore: Introducing workqueue updating sysfs · a93bc0c6
      Seiji Aguchi 提交于
      [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.

      efivars: Disable external interrupt while holding efivars->lock · 81fa4e58
      Seiji Aguchi 提交于
      [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.

      efivarfs: guid part of filenames are case-insensitive · da27a243
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      It makes no sense to treat the following filenames as unique,
      
      	VarName-abcdefab-abcd-abcd-abcd-abcdefabcdef
      	VarName-ABCDEFAB-ABCD-ABCD-ABCD-ABCDEFABCDEF
      	VarName-ABcDEfAB-ABcD-ABcD-ABcD-ABcDEfABcDEf
      	VarName-aBcDEfAB-aBcD-aBcD-aBcD-aBcDEfaBcDEf
      	... etc ...
      
      since the guid will be converted into a binary representation, which
      has no case.
      
      Roll our own dentry operations so that we can treat the variable name
      part of filenames ("VarName" in the above example) as case-sensitive,
      but the guid portion as case-insensitive. That way, efivarfs will
      refuse to create the above files if any one already exists.

      efivarfs: Validate filenames much more aggressively · 47f531e8
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      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.

      efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities · 83e68189
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      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.

      efivarfs: Never return ENOENT from firmware · 1fa7e695
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      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.

      efi_pstore: Avoid deadlock in non-blocking paths · e59310ad
      Seiji Aguchi 提交于
      [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.

      efi_pstore: Add a format check for an existing variable name at reading time · 0f7de85a
      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 read 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 read callback
      to make it readable.

      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.
