      rtc: Disable EFI rtc for x86 · 7efe6659
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      commit da167ad7 ("rtc: ia64: allow other architectures to use EFI
      RTC") inadvertently introduced a regression for x86 because we've been
      careful not to enable the EFI rtc driver due to the generally buggy
      implementations of the time-related EFI runtime services.
      
      In fact, since the above commit was merged we've seen reports of crashes
      on 32-bit tablets,
      
        https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84241#c21
      
      Disable it explicitly for x86 so that we don't give users false hope
      that this driver will work - it won't, and your machine is likely to
      crash.

      efi: rtc-efi: Export platform:rtc-efi as module alias · 3f71f6da
      Ard Biesheuvel 提交于
      When the rtc-efi driver is built as a module, we already register the
      EFI rtc as a platform device if UEFI Runtime Services are enabled.
      To wire it up to udev, and let the module be loaded automatically, we
      need to export the 'platform:rtc-efi' alias from the module.

      efi: Delete the in_nmi() conditional runtime locking · 60b4dc77
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      commit 5dc3826d9f08 ("efi: Implement mandatory locking for UEFI Runtime
      Services") implemented some conditional locking when accessing variable
      runtime services that Ingo described as "pretty disgusting".
      
      The intention with the !efi_in_nmi() checks was to avoid live-locks when
      trying to write pstore crash data into an EFI variable. Such lockless
      accesses are allowed according to the UEFI specification when we're in a
      "non-recoverable" state, but whether or not things are implemented
      correctly in actual firmware implementations remains an unanswered
      question, and so it would seem sensible to avoid doing any kind of
      unsynchronized variable accesses.
      
      Furthermore, the efi_in_nmi() tests are inadequate because they don't
      account for the case where we call EFI variable services from panic or
      oops callbacks and aren't executing in NMI context. In other words,
      live-locking is still possible.
      
      Let's just remove the conditional locking altogether. Now we've got the
      ->set_variable_nonblocking() EFI variable operation we can abort if the
      runtime lock is already held. Aborting is by far the safest option.

      efi: Provide a non-blocking SetVariable() operation · 6d80dba1
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      There are some circumstances that call for trying to write an EFI
      variable in a non-blocking way. One such scenario is when writing pstore
      data in efi_pstore_write() via the pstore_dump() kdump callback.
      
      Now that we have an EFI runtime spinlock we need a way of aborting if
      there is contention instead of spinning, since when writing pstore data
      from the kdump callback, the runtime lock may already be held by the CPU
      that's running the callback if we crashed in the middle of an EFI
      variable operation.
      
      The situation is sufficiently special that a new EFI variable operation
      is warranted.
      
      Introduce ->set_variable_nonblocking() for this use case. It is an
      optional EFI backend operation, and need only be implemented by those
      backends that usually acquire locks to serialize access to EFI
      variables, as is the case for virt_efi_set_variable() where we now grab
      the EFI runtime spinlock.

      efi: Resolve some shadow warnings · b2fce819
      Mark Rustad 提交于
      It is a really bad idea to declare variables or parameters that
      have the same name as common types. It is valid C, but it gets
      surprising if a macro expansion attempts to declare an inner
      local with that type. Change the local names to eliminate the
      hazard.
      
      Change s16 => str16, s8 => str8.
      
      This resolves warnings seen when using W=2 during make, for instance:

      efi: Introduce efi_md_typeattr_format() · 98d2a6ca
      Laszlo Ersek 提交于
      At the moment, there are three architectures debug-printing the EFI memory
      map at initialization: x86, ia64, and arm64. They all use different format
      strings, plus the EFI memory type and the EFI memory attributes are
      similarly hard to decode for a human reader.
      
      Introduce a helper __init function that formats the memory type and the
      memory attributes in a unified way, to a user-provided character buffer.
      
      The array "memory_type_name" is copied from the arm64 code, temporarily
      duplicating it. The (otherwise optional) braces around each string literal
      in the initializer list are dropped in order to match the kernel coding
      style more closely. The element size is tightened from 32 to 20 bytes
      (maximum actual string length + 1) so that we can derive the field width
      from the element size.

      noefi kernel param means actually disabling efi runtime, Per suggestion
      from Leif Lindholm efi=noruntime should be better. But since noefi is

      same purpose.

      efi: Add efi= parameter parsing to the EFI boot stub · 5a17dae4
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      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.

      efi: Implement mandatory locking for UEFI Runtime Services · 161485e8
      Ard Biesheuvel 提交于
      According to section 7.1 of the UEFI spec, Runtime Services are not fully
      reentrant, and there are particular combinations of calls that need to be
      serialized. Use a spinlock to serialize all Runtime Services with respect
      to all others, even if this is more than strictly needed.
      
      We've managed to get away without requiring a runtime services lock
      until now because most of the interactions with EFI involve EFI
      variables, and those operations are already serialised with
      __efivars->lock.
      
      Some of the assumptions underlying the decision whether locks are
      needed or not (e.g., SetVariable() against ResetSystem()) may not
      apply universally to all [new] architectures that implement UEFI.
      Rather than try to reason our way out of this, let's just implement at
      least what the spec requires in terms of locking.
