Commit bf67fad1 ("efi: Use more granular check for availability for variable services") introduced a check into the efivarfs, efi-pstore and other drivers that aborts loading of the module if not all three variable runtime services (GetVariable, SetVariable and GetNextVariable) are supported. However, this results in efivarfs being unavailable entirely if only SetVariable support is missing, which is only needed if you want to make any modifications. Also, efi-pstore and the sysfs EFI variable interface could be backed by another implementation of the 'efivars' abstraction, in which case it is completely irrelevant which services are supported by the EFI firmware. So make the generic 'efivars' abstraction dependent on the availibility of the GetVariable and GetNextVariable EFI runtime services, and add a helper 'efivar_supports_writes()' to find out whether the currently active efivars abstraction supports writes (and wire it up to the availability of SetVariable for the generic one). Then, use the efivar_supports_writes() helper to decide whether to permit efivarfs to be mounted read-write, and whether to enable efi-pstore or the sysfs EFI variable interface altogether.

In most cases, such as CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT and CONFIG_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE, boot-time modifications to firmware tables are tied to specific Kconfig options. Currently this is not the case for modifying the ACPI SSDT via the efivar_ssdt kernel command line option and associated EFI variable. This patch adds CONFIG_EFI_CUSTOM_SSDT_OVERLAYS, which defaults disabled, in order to allow enabling or disabling that feature during the build.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. Lastly, make use of the sizeof_field() helper instead of an open-coded version. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited _manually_.

Commit: 3a6b6c6f ("efi: Make EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE initialization common across all architectures") moved the call to efi_memattr_init() from ARM specific to the generic EFI init code, in order to be able to apply the restricted permissions described in that table on x86 as well. We never enabled this feature fully on i386, and so mapping and reserving this table is pointless.

Recent changes to the way we deal with EFI runtime services that are marked as unsupported by the firmware resulted in a regression for non-EFI boot. The problem is that all EFI runtime services are marked as available by default, and any non-NULL checks on the EFI service function pointers (which will be non-NULL even for runtime services that are unsupported on an EFI boot) were replaced with checks against the mask stored in efi.runtime_supported_mask. When doing a non-EFI boot, this check against the mask will return a false positive, given the fact that all runtime services are marked as enabled by default. Since we dropped the non-NULL check of the runtime service function pointer in favor of the mask check, we will now unconditionally dereference the function pointer, even if it is NULL, and go boom. So let's ensure that the mask reflects reality on a non-EFI boot, which is that all EFI runtime services are unsupported.

Memory regions that are reserved using efi_mem_reserve_persistent() are recorded in a special EFI config table which survives kexec, allowing the incoming kernel to honour them as well. However, such reservations are not visible in /proc/iomem, and so the kexec tools that load the incoming kernel and its initrd into memory may overwrite these reserved regions before the incoming kernel has a chance to reserve them from further use. Address this problem by adding these reservations to /proc/iomem as they are created. Note that reservations that are inherited from a previous kernel are memblock_reserve()'d early on, so they are already visible in /proc/iomem.

UEFI 2.8 defines an EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute bit to augment the interpretation of the EFI Memory Types as "reserved for a specific purpose". The proposed Linux behavior for specific purpose memory is that it is reserved for direct-access (device-dax) by default and not available for any kernel usage, not even as an OOM fallback. Later, through udev scripts or another init mechanism, these device-dax claimed ranges can be reconfigured and hot-added to the available System-RAM with a unique node identifier. This device-dax management scheme implements "soft" in the "soft reserved" designation by allowing some or all of the reservation to be recovered as typical memory. This policy can be disabled at compile-time with CONFIG_EFI_SOFT_RESERVE=n, or runtime with efi=nosoftreserve. As for this patch, define the common helpers to determine if the EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute should be honored. The determination needs to be made early to prevent the kernel from being loaded into soft-reserved memory, or otherwise allowing early allocations to land there. Follow-on changes are needed per architecture to leverage these helpers in their respective mem-init paths.

UEFI 2.8 defines an EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute bit to augment the interpretation of the EFI Memory Types as "reserved for a specific purpose". The intent of this bit is to allow the OS to identify precious or scarce memory resources and optionally manage it separately from EfiConventionalMemory. As defined older OSes that do not know about this attribute are permitted to ignore it and the memory will be handled according to the OS default policy for the given memory type. In other words, this "specific purpose" hint is deliberately weaker than EfiReservedMemoryType in that the system continues to operate if the OS takes no action on the attribute. The risk of taking no action is potentially unwanted / unmovable kernel allocations from the designated resource that prevent the full realization of the "specific purpose". For example, consider a system with a high-bandwidth memory pool. Older kernels are permitted to boot and consume that memory as conventional "System-RAM" newer kernels may arrange for that memory to be set aside (soft reserved) by the system administrator for a dedicated high-bandwidth memory aware application to consume. Specifically, this mechanism allows for the elimination of scenarios where platform firmware tries to game OS policy by lying about ACPI SLIT values, i.e. claiming that a precious memory resource has a high distance to trigger the OS to avoid it by default. This reservation hint allows platform-firmware to instead tell the truth about performance characteristics by indicate to OS memory management to put immovable allocations elsewhere. Implement simple detection of the bit for EFI memory table dumps and save the kernel policy for a follow-on change.

Commit 428826f5 ("fdt: add support for rng-seed") introduced add_bootloader_randomness(), permitting randomness provided by the bootloader or firmware to be credited as entropy. However, the fact that the UEFI support code was already wired into the RNG subsystem via a call to add_device_randomness() was overlooked, and so it was not converted at the same time. Note that this UEFI (v2.4 or newer) feature is currently only implemented for EFI stub booting on ARM, and further note that CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER must be enabled, and this should be done only if there indeed is sufficient trust in the bootloader _and_ its source of randomness.

ACPICA commit d1716a829d19be23277d9157c575a03b9abb7457 For unloading an ACPI table, it is necessary to provide the index of the table. The method intended for dynamically loading or hotplug addition of tables, acpi_load_table(), should provide this information via an optional pointer to the loaded table index. This patch fixes the table unload function of acpi_configfs.

The kernel command line option efivar_ssdt= allows the name to be specified of an EFI variable containing an ACPI SSDT table that should be loaded into memory by the OS, and treated as if it was provided by the firmware. Currently, that code will always iterate over the EFI variables and compare each name with the provided name, even if the command line option wasn't set to begin with. So bail early when no variable name was provided. This works around a boot regression on the 2012 Mac Pro, as reported by Scott.

efivar_ssdt_load allows the kernel to import arbitrary ACPI code from an EFI variable, which gives arbitrary code execution in ring 0. Prevent that when the kernel is locked down.

System firmware advertises the address of the 'Runtime Configuration Interface table version 2 (RCI2)' via an EFI Configuration Table entry. This code retrieves the RCI2 table from the address and exports it to sysfs as a binary attribute 'rci2' under /sys/firmware/efi/tables directory. The approach adopted is similar to the attribute 'DMI' under /sys/firmware/dmi/tables. RCI2 table contains BIOS HII in XML format and is used to populate BIOS setup page in Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator tool. The BIOS setup page contains BIOS tokens which can be configured.

The SGI UV UEFI machines are tightly coupled to the x86 architecture so there is no need to keep any awareness of its existence in the generic EFI layer, especially since we already have the infrastructure to handle arch-specific configuration tables, and were even already using it to some extent.
