This patch does two things. It passes EFI run time mappings to second kernel in bootparams efi_info. Second kernel parse this info and create new mappings in second kernel. That means mappings in first and second kernel will be same. This paves the way to enable EFI in kexec kernel. This patch also prepares and passes EFI setup data through bootparams. This contains bunch of information about various tables and their addresses. These information gathering and passing has been written along the lines of what current kexec-tools is doing to make kexec work with UEFI.

Introduce EFI_PARAVIRT flag. If it is set then kernel runs on EFI platform but it has not direct control on EFI stuff like EFI runtime, tables, structures, etc. If not this means that Linux Kernel has direct access to EFI infrastructure and everything runs as usual. This functionality is used in Xen dom0 because hypervisor has full control on EFI stuff and all calls from dom0 to EFI must be requested via special hypercall which in turn executes relevant EFI code in behalf of dom0.

Not only can EfiResetSystem() be used to reboot, it can also be used to power down machines. By and large, this functionality doesn't work very well across the range of EFI machines in the wild, so it should definitely only be used as a last resort. In an ideal world, this wouldn't be needed at all. Unfortunately, we're starting to see machines where EFI is the *only* reliable way to power down, and nothing else, not PCI, not ACPI, works. efi_poweroff_required() should be implemented on a per-architecture basis, since exactly when we should be using EFI runtime services is a platform-specific decision. There's no analogue for reboot because each architecture handles reboot very differently - the x86 code in particular is pretty complex. Patches to enable this for specific classes of hardware will be submitted separately. Tested-by: NMark Salter <msalter@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NMatt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

In order to move from the #include "../../../xxxxx.c" anti-pattern used by both the x86 and arm64 versions of the stub to a static library linked into either the kernel proper (arm64) or a separate boot executable (x86), there is some prepatory work required. This patch does the following: - move forward declarations of functions shared between the arch specific and the generic parts of the stub to include/linux/efi.h - move forward declarations of functions shared between various .c files of the generic stub code to a new local header file called "efistub.h" - add #includes to all .c files which were formerly relying on the #includor to include the correct header files - remove all static modifiers from functions which will need to be externally visible once we move to a static library Signed-off-by: NArd Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NMatt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

ARM and ARM64 architectures use the device tree to pass UEFI parameters from stub to kernel. These parameters are things known to the stub but not discoverable by the kernel after the stub calls ExitBootSerives(). There is a helper function in: drivers/firmware/efi/fdt.c which the stub uses to add the UEFI parameters to the device tree. This patch adds a complimentary helper function which UEFI runtime support may use to retrieve the parameters from the device tree.

There's no good reason to keep efi_enabled() under CONFIG_X86 anymore, since nothing about the implementation is specific to x86. Set EFI feature flags in the ia64 boot path instead of claiming to support all features. The old behaviour was actually buggy since efi.memmap never points to a valid memory map, so we shouldn't be claiming to support EFI_MEMMAP. Fortunately, this bug was never triggered because EFI_MEMMAP isn't used outside of arch/x86 currently, but that may not always be the case.

As we grow support for more EFI architectures they're going to want the ability to query which EFI features are available on the running system. Instead of storing this information in an architecture-specific place, stick it in the global 'struct efi', which is already the central location for EFI state. While we're at it, let's change the return value of efi_enabled() to be bool and replace all references to 'facility' with 'feature', which is the usual word used to describe the attributes of the running system.

Currently, when mounting pstore file system, a read callback of efi_pstore driver runs mutiple times as below. - In the first read callback, scan efivar_sysfs_list from head and pass a kmsg buffer of a entry to an upper pstore layer. - In the second read callback, rescan efivar_sysfs_list from the entry and pass another kmsg buffer to it. - Repeat the scan and pass until the end of efivar_sysfs_list. In this process, an entry is read across the multiple read function calls. To avoid race between the read and erasion, the whole process above is protected by a spinlock, holding in open() and releasing in close(). At the same time, kmemdup() is called to pass the buffer to pstore filesystem during it. And then, it causes a following lockdep warning. To make the dynamic memory allocation runnable without taking spinlock, holding off a deletion of sysfs entry if it happens while scanning it via efi_pstore, and deleting it after the scan is completed. To implement it, this patch introduces two flags, scanning and deleting, to efivar_entry. On the code basis, it seems that all the scanning and deleting logic is not needed because __efivars->lock are not dropped when reading from the EFI variable store. But, the scanning and deleting logic is still needed because an efi-pstore and a pstore filesystem works as follows. In case an entry(A) is found, the pointer is saved to psi->data. And efi_pstore_read() passes the entry(A) to a pstore filesystem by releasing __efivars->lock. And then, the pstore filesystem calls efi_pstore_read() again and the same entry(A), which is saved to psi->data, is used for resuming to scan a sysfs-list. So, to protect the entry(A), the logic is needed.

We map the EFI regions needed for runtime services non-contiguously, with preserved alignment on virtual addresses starting from -4G down for a total max space of 64G. This way, we provide for stable runtime services addresses across kernels so that a kexec'd kernel can still use them. Thus, they're mapped in a separate pagetable so that we don't pollute the kernel namespace. Add an efi= kernel command line parameter for passing miscellaneous options and chicken bits from the command line. While at it, add a chicken bit called "efi=old_map" which can be used as a fallback to the old runtime services mapping method in case there's some b0rkage with a particular EFI implementation (haha, it is hard to hold up the sarcasm here...).

All the virtualized platforms (KVM, lguest and Xen) have persistent wallclocks that have more than one second of precision. read_persistent_wallclock() and update_persistent_wallclock() allow for nanosecond precision but their implementation on x86 with x86_platform.get/set_wallclock() only allows for one second precision. This means guests may see a wallclock time that is off by up to 1 second. Make set_wallclock() and get_wallclock() take a struct timespec parameter (which allows for nanosecond precision) so KVM and Xen guests may start with a more accurate wallclock time and a Xen dom0 can maintain a more accurate wallclock for guests.

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.

[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.

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.

This reverts commit bd52276f ("x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock (again)"), and the two supporting commits: da5a108d: "x86/kernel: remove tboot 1:1 page table creation code" 185034e7: "x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable mapping for virtual EFI calls") as they all depend semantically on commit 53b87cf0 ("x86, mm: Include the entire kernel memory map in trampoline_pgd") that got reverted earlier due to the problems it caused. This was pointed out by Yinghai Lu, and verified by me on my Macbook Air that uses EFI. Pointed-out-by: NYinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

EFI provides support for providing PCI ROMs via means other than the ROM BAR. This support vanishes after we've exited boot services, so add support for stashing copies of the ROMs in setup_data if they're not otherwise available.

[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.

We don't want someone who can write EFI variables to be able to allocate arbitrarily large amounts of memory, so cap it to something sensible like the amount of free space for EFI variables.

Other than ix86, x86-64 on EFI so far didn't set the {g,s}et_wallclock accessors to the EFI routines, thus incorrectly using raw RTC accesses instead. Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions (which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode() ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling efi-get-time in physical mode). Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable() requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()). Also make the two EFI functions in question here static - they're not being referenced elsewhere. History: This commit was originally merged as bacef661 ("x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock") but it resulted in some ASUS machines no longer booting due to a firmware bug, and so was reverted in f026cfa8. A pre-emptive fix for the buggy ASUS firmware was merged in 03a1c254975e ("x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable mapping for virtual EFI calls") so now this patch can be reapplied.

The existing EFI variables code only supports variables of up to 1024 bytes. This limitation existed in version 0.99 of the EFI specification, but was removed before any full releases. Since variables can now be larger than a single page, sysfs isn't the best interface for this. So, instead, let's add a filesystem. Variables can be read, written and created, with the first 4 bytes of each variable representing its UEFI attributes. The create() method doesn't actually commit to flash since zero-length variables can't exist per-spec. Updates from Jeremy Kerr <jeremy.kerr@canonical.com>.
