      firmware: Add new platform fallback mechanism and firmware_request_platform() · e4c2c0ff
      由 Hans de Goede 提交于 
      In some cases the platform's main firmware (e.g. the UEFI fw) may contain
an embedded copy of device firmware which needs to be (re)loaded into the
peripheral. Normally such firmware would be part of linux-firmware, but in
some cases this is not feasible, for 2 reasons:

1) The firmware is customized for a specific use-case of the chipset / use
with a specific hardware model, so we cannot have a single firmware file
for the chipset. E.g. touchscreen controller firmwares are compiled
specifically for the hardware model they are used with, as they are
calibrated for a specific model digitizer.

2) Despite repeated attempts we have failed to get permission to
redistribute the firmware. This is especially a problem with customized
firmwares, these get created by the chip vendor for a specific ODM and the
copyright may partially belong with the ODM, so the chip vendor cannot
give a blanket permission to distribute these.

This commit adds a new platform fallback mechanism to the firmware loader
which will try to lookup a device fw copy embedded in the platform's main
firmware if direct filesystem lookup fails.

Drivers which need such embedded fw copies can enable this fallback
mechanism by using the new firmware_request_platform() function.

Note that for now this is only supported on EFI platforms and even on
these platforms firmware_fallback_platform() only works if
CONFIG_EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE is enabled (this gets selected by drivers
which need this), in all other cases firmware_fallback_platform() simply
always returns -ENOENT.

      firmware_loader: load files from the mount namespace of init · 901cff7c
      由 Topi Miettinen 提交于 
      I have an experimental setup where almost every possible system
service (even early startup ones) runs in separate namespace, using a
dedicated, minimal file system. In process of minimizing the contents
of the file systems with regards to modules and firmware files, I
noticed that in my system, the firmware files are loaded from three
different mount namespaces, those of systemd-udevd, init and
systemd-networkd. The logic of the source namespace is not very clear,
it seems to depend on the driver, but the namespace of the current
process is used.

So, this patch tries to make things a bit clearer and changes the
loading of firmware files only from the mount namespace of init. This
may also improve security, though I think that using firmware files as
attack vector could be too impractical anyway.

Later, it might make sense to make the mount namespace configurable,
for example with a new file in /proc/sys/kernel/firmware_config/. That
would allow a dedicated file system only for firmware files and those
need not be present anywhere else. This configurability would make
more sense if made also for kernel modules and /sbin/modprobe. Modules
are already loaded from init namespace (usermodehelper uses kthreadd
namespace) except when directly loaded by systemd-udevd.

Instead of using the mount namespace of the current process to load
firmware files, use the mount namespace of init process.

      firmware: Add support for loading compressed files · 82fd7a81
      由 Takashi Iwai 提交于 
      This patch adds the support for loading compressed firmware files.
The primary motivation is to reduce the storage size; e.g. currently
the files in /lib/firmware on my machine counts up to 419MB, while
they can be reduced to 130MB by file compression.

The patch introduces a new kconfig option CONFIG_FW_LOADER_COMPRESS.
Even with this option set, the firmware loader still tries to load the
original firmware file as-is at first, but then falls back to the file
with ".xz" extension when it's not found, and the decompressed file
content is returned to the caller of request_firmware().  So, no
change is needed for the rest.

Currently only XZ format is supported.  A caveat is that the kernel XZ
helper code supports only CRC32 (or none) integrity check type, so
you'll have to compress the files via xz -C crc32 option.

Since we can't determine the expanded size immediately from an XZ
file, the patch re-uses the paged buffer that was used for the
user-mode fallback; it puts the decompressed content page, which are
vmapped at the end.  The paged buffer code is conditionally built with
a new Kconfig that is selected automatically.

      firmware: Factor out the paged buffer handling code · 5342e709
      由 Takashi Iwai 提交于 
      This is merely a preparation for the upcoming compressed firmware
support and no functional changes.  It moves the code to handle the
paged buffer allocation and mapping out of fallback.c into the main
code, so that they can be used commonly.

      firmware: Fix security issue with request_firmware_into_buf() · 422b3db2
      由 Rishabh Bhatnagar 提交于 
      When calling request_firmware_into_buf() with the FW_OPT_NOCACHE flag
it is expected that firmware is loaded into buffer from memory.
But inside alloc_lookup_fw_priv every new firmware that is loaded is
added to the firmware cache (fwc) list head. So if any driver requests
a firmware that is already loaded the code iterates over the above
mentioned list and it can end up giving a pointer to other device driver's
firmware buffer.
Also the existing copy may either be modified by drivers, remote processors
or even freed. This causes a potential security issue with batched requests
when using request_firmware_into_buf.

Fix alloc_lookup_fw_priv to not add to the fwc head list if FW_OPT_NOCACHE
is set, and also don't do the lookup in the list.

Fixes: 0e742e92 ("firmware: provide infrastructure to make fw caching optional")

      firmware: enable to split firmware_class into separate target files · ad4365f1
      由 Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于 
      The firmware loader code has grown quite a bit over the years.
The practice of stuffing everything we need into one file makes
the code hard to follow.

In order to split the firmware loader code into different components
we must pick a module name and a first object target file. We must
keep the firmware_class name to remain compatible with scripts which
have been relying on the sysfs loader path for years, so the old module
name stays. We can however rename the C file without affecting the
module name.

The firmware_class used to represent the idea that the code was a simple
sysfs firmware loader, provided by the struct class firmware_class.
The sysfs firmware loader used to be the default, today its only the
fallback mechanism.

This only renames the target code then to make emphasis of what the code
does these days. With this change new features can also use a new object
files.

      driver core: add SPDX identifiers to all driver core files · 989d42e8
      由 Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于 
      It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself.  The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.
