This change makes later calculations about where the kernel is located easier to reason about. To better understand this change, we must first clarify what 'VO' and 'ZO' are. These values were introduced in commits by hpa: 77d1a499 ("x86, boot: make symbols from the main vmlinux available") 37ba7ab5 ("x86, boot: make kernel_alignment adjustable; new bzImage fields") Specifically: All names prefixed with 'VO_': - relate to the uncompressed kernel image - the size of the VO image is: VO__end-VO__text ("VO_INIT_SIZE" define) All names prefixed with 'ZO_': - relate to the bootable compressed kernel image (boot/compressed/vmlinux), which is composed of the following memory areas: - head text - compressed kernel (VO image and relocs table) - decompressor code - the size of the ZO image is: ZO__end - ZO_startup_32 ("ZO_INIT_SIZE" define, though see below) The 'INIT_SIZE' value is used to find the larger of the two image sizes: #define ZO_INIT_SIZE (ZO__end - ZO_startup_32 + ZO_z_extract_offset) #define VO_INIT_SIZE (VO__end - VO__text) #if ZO_INIT_SIZE > VO_INIT_SIZE # define INIT_SIZE ZO_INIT_SIZE #else # define INIT_SIZE VO_INIT_SIZE #endif The current code uses extract_offset to decide where to position the copied ZO (i.e. ZO starts at extract_offset). (This is why ZO_INIT_SIZE currently includes the extract_offset.) Why does z_extract_offset exist? It's needed because we are trying to minimize the amount of RAM used for the whole act of creating an uncompressed, executable, properly relocation-linked kernel image in system memory. We do this so that kernels can be booted on even very small systems. To achieve the goal of minimal memory consumption we have implemented an in-place decompression strategy: instead of cleanly separating the VO and ZO images and also allocating some memory for the decompression code's runtime needs, we instead create this elaborate layout of memory buffers where the output (decompressed) stream, as it progresses, overlaps with and destroys the input (compressed) stream. This can only be done safely if the ZO image is placed to the end of the VO range, plus a certain amount of safety distance to make sure that when the last bytes of the VO range are decompressed, the compressed stream pointer is safely beyond the end of the VO range. z_extract_offset is calculated in arch/x86/boot/compressed/mkpiggy.c during the build process, at a point when we know the exact compressed and uncompressed size of the kernel images and can calculate this safe minimum offset value. (Note that the mkpiggy.c calculation is not perfect, because we don't know the decompressor used at that stage, so the z_extract_offset calculation is necessarily imprecise and is mostly based on gzip internals - we'll improve that in the next patch.) When INIT_SIZE is bigger than VO_INIT_SIZE (uncommon but possible), the copied ZO occupies the memory from extract_offset to the end of decompression buffer. It overlaps with the soon-to-be-uncompressed kernel like this: |-----compressed kernel image------| V V 0 extract_offset +INIT_SIZE |-----------|---------------|-------------------------|--------| | | | | VO__text startup_32 of ZO VO__end ZO__end ^ ^ |-------uncompressed kernel image---------| When INIT_SIZE is equal to VO_INIT_SIZE (likely) there's still space left from end of ZO to the end of decompressing buffer, like below. |-compressed kernel image-| V V 0 extract_offset +INIT_SIZE |-----------|---------------|-------------------------|--------| | | | | VO__text startup_32 of ZO ZO__end VO__end ^ ^ |------------uncompressed kernel image-------------| To simplify calculations and avoid special cases, it is cleaner to always place the compressed kernel image in memory so that ZO__end is at the end of the decompression buffer, instead of placing t at the start of extract_offset as is currently done. This patch adds BP_init_size (which is the INIT_SIZE as passed in from the boot_params) into asm-offsets.c to make it visible to the assembly code. Then when moving the ZO, it calculates the starting position of the copied ZO (via BP_init_size and the ZO run size) so that the VO__end will be at the end of the decompression buffer. To make the position calculation safe, the end of ZO is page aligned (and a comment is added to the existing VO alignment for good measure).

The 32-bit x86 assembler in binutils 2.26 will generate R_386_GOT32X relocation to get the symbol address in PIC. When the compressed x86 kernel isn't built as PIC, the linker optimizes R_386_GOT32X relocations to their fixed symbol addresses. However, when the compressed x86 kernel is loaded at a different address, it leads to the following load failure: Failed to allocate space for phdrs during the decompression stage. If the compressed x86 kernel is relocatable at run-time, it should be compiled with -fPIE, instead of -fPIC, if possible and should be built as Position Independent Executable (PIE) so that linker won't optimize R_386_GOT32X relocation to its fixed symbol address. Older linkers generate R_386_32 relocations against locally defined symbols, _bss, _ebss, _got and _egot, in PIE. It isn't wrong, just less optimal than R_386_RELATIVE. But the x86 kernel fails to properly handle R_386_32 relocations when relocating the kernel. To generate R_386_RELATIVE relocations, we mark _bss, _ebss, _got and _egot as hidden in both 32-bit and 64-bit x86 kernels. To build a 64-bit compressed x86 kernel as PIE, we need to disable the relocation overflow check to avoid relocation overflow errors. We do this with a new linker command-line option, -z noreloc-overflow, which got added recently: commit 4c10bbaa0912742322f10d9d5bb630ba4e15dfa7 Author: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com> Date: Tue Mar 15 11:07:06 2016 -0700 Add -z noreloc-overflow option to x86-64 ld Add -z noreloc-overflow command-line option to the x86-64 ELF linker to disable relocation overflow check. This can be used to avoid relocation overflow check if there will be no dynamic relocation overflow at run-time. The 64-bit compressed x86 kernel is built as PIE only if the linker supports -z noreloc-overflow. So far 64-bit relocatable compressed x86 kernel boots fine even when it is built as a normal executable. Signed-off-by: NH.J.

When choosing a random address, the current implementation does not take into account the reversed space for .bss and .brk sections. Thus the relocated kernel may overlap other components in memory. Here is an example of the overlap from a x86_64 kernel in qemu (the ranges of physical addresses are presented): Physical Address 0x0fe00000 --+--------------------+ <-- randomized base / | relocated kernel | vmlinux.bin | (from vmlinux.bin) | 0x1336d000 (an ELF file) +--------------------+-- \ | | \ 0x1376d870 --+--------------------+ | | relocs table | | 0x13c1c2a8 +--------------------+ .bss and .brk | | | 0x13ce6000 +--------------------+ | | | / 0x13f77000 | initrd |-- | | 0x13fef374 +--------------------+ The initrd image will then be overwritten by the memset during early initialization: [ 1.655204] Unpacking initramfs...

Maarten reported that his Macbook pro 8.2 stopped booting after commit f23cf8bd ("efi/x86: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>"), the main feature of which is changing the visibility of symbol 'efi_early' from local to global. By making 'efi_early' global we end up requiring an entry in the Global Offset Table. Unfortunately, while we do include code to fixup GOT entries in the early boot code, it's only called after we've executed the EFI boot stub. What this amounts to is that references to 'efi_early' in the EFI boot stub don't point to the correct place. Since we've got multiple boot entry points we need to be prepared to fixup the GOT in multiple places, while ensuring that we never do it more than once, otherwise the GOT entries will still point to the wrong place.

code32_start should point at the start of the protected mode code, and *not* at the beginning of the bzImage. This is much easier to do in assembly so document that callers of make_boot_params() need to fill out code32_start.

The EFI handover code only works if the "bitness" of the firmware and the kernel match, i.e. 64-bit firmware and 64-bit kernel - it is not possible to mix the two. This goes against the tradition that a 32-bit kernel can be loaded on a 64-bit BIOS platform without having to do anything special in the boot loader. Linux distributions, for one thing, regularly run only 32-bit kernels on their live media. Despite having only one 'handover_offset' field in the kernel header, EFI boot loaders use two separate entry points to enter the kernel based on the architecture the boot loader was compiled for, (1) 32-bit loader: handover_offset (2) 64-bit loader: handover_offset + 512 Since we already have two entry points, we can leverage them to infer the bitness of the firmware we're running on, without requiring any boot loader modifications, by making (1) and (2) valid entry points for both CONFIG_X86_32 and CONFIG_X86_64 kernels. To be clear, a 32-bit boot loader will always use (1) and a 64-bit boot loader will always use (2). It's just that, if a single kernel image supports (1) and (2) that image can be used with both 32-bit and 64-bit boot loaders, and hence both 32-bit and 64-bit EFI. (1) and (2) must be 512 bytes apart at all times, but that is already part of the boot ABI and we could never change that delta without breaking existing boot loaders anyhow.

This allows decompress_kernel to return a new location for the kernel to be relocated to. Additionally, enforces CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as the minimum relocation position when building with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. With CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE set, the choose_kernel_location routine will select a new location to decompress the kernel, though here it is presently a no-op.

Moves the relocation handling into C, after decompression. This requires that the decompressed size is passed to the decompression routine as well so that relocations can be found.

We have historically hard-coded entry points in head.S just so it's easy to build the executable/bzImage headers with references to them. Unfortunately, this leads to boot loaders abusing these "known" addresses even when they are *explicitly* told that they "should look at the ELF header to find this address, as it may change in the future". And even when the address in question *has* actually been changed in the past, without fanfare or thought to compatibility. Thus we have bootloaders doing stunningly broken things like jumping to offset 0x200 in the kernel startup code in 64-bit mode, *hoping* that startup_64 is still there (it has moved at least once before). And hoping that it's actually a 64-bit kernel despite the fact that we don't give them any indication of that fact. This patch should hopefully remove the temptation to abuse internal addresses in future, where sternly worded comments have not sufficed. Instead of having hard-coded addresses and saying "please don't abuse these", we actually pull the addresses out of the ELF payload into zoffset.h, and make build.c shove them back into the right places in the bzImage header. Rather than including zoffset.h into build.c and thus having to rebuild the tool for every kernel build, we parse it instead. The parsing code is small and simple. This patch doesn't actually move any of the interesting entry points, so any offending bootloader will still continue to "work" after this patch is applied. For some version of "work" which includes jumping into the compressed payload and crashing, if the bzImage it's given is a 32-bit kernel. No change there then.

As things currently stand, traditional EFI boot loaders and the EFI boot stub are carrying essentially the same initialisation code required to setup an EFI machine for booting a kernel. There's really no need to have this code in two places and the hope is that, with this new protocol, initialisation and booting of the kernel can be left solely to the kernel's EFI boot stub. The responsibilities of the boot loader then become, o Loading the kernel image from boot media File system code still needs to be carried by boot loaders for the scenario where the kernel and initrd files reside on a file system that the EFI firmware doesn't natively understand, such as ext4, etc. o Providing a user interface Boot loaders still need to display any menus/interfaces, for example to allow the user to select from a list of kernels. Bump the boot protocol number because we added the 'handover_offset' field to indicate the location of the handover protocol entry point. Cc: H.

The method used to work out whether we were booted by EFI firmware or via a boot loader is broken. Because efi_main() is always executed when booting from a boot loader we will dereference invalid pointers either on the stack (CONFIG_X86_32) or contained in %rdx (CONFIG_X86_64) when searching for an EFI System Table signature. Instead of dereferencing these invalid system table pointers, add a new entry point that is only used when booting from EFI firmware, when we know the pointer arguments will be valid. With this change legacy boot loaders will no longer execute efi_main(), but will instead skip EFI stub initialisation completely.

There is currently a large divide between kernel development and the development of EFI boot loaders. The idea behind this patch is to give the kernel developers full control over the EFI boot process. As H. Peter Anvin put it, "The 'kernel carries its own stub' approach been very successful in dealing with BIOS, and would make a lot of sense to me for EFI as well." This patch introduces an EFI boot stub that allows an x86 bzImage to be loaded and executed by EFI firmware. The bzImage appears to the firmware as an EFI application. Luckily there are enough free bits within the bzImage header so that it can masquerade as an EFI application, thereby coercing the EFI firmware into loading it and jumping to its entry point. The beauty of this masquerading approach is that both BIOS and EFI boot loaders can still load and run the same bzImage, thereby allowing a single kernel image to work in any boot environment. The EFI boot stub supports multiple initrds, but they must exist on the same partition as the bzImage. Command-line arguments for the kernel can be appended after the bzImage name when run from the EFI shell, e.g. Shell> bzImage console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sdb initrd=initrd.img v7: - Fix checkpatch warnings. v6: - Try to allocate initrd memory just below hdr->inird_addr_max. v5: - load_options_size is UTF-16, which needs dividing by 2 to convert to the corresponding ASCII size. v4: - Don't read more than image->load_options_size v3: - Fix following warnings when compiling CONFIG_EFI_STUB=n arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c: In function ‘main’: arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:24: warning: unused variable ‘pe_header’ arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:15: warning: unused variable ‘file_sz’ - As reported by Matthew Garrett, some Apple machines have GOPs that don't have hardware attached. We need to weed these out by searching for ones that handle the PCIIO protocol. - Don't allocate memory if no initrds are on cmdline - Don't trust image->load_options_size Maarten Lankhorst noted: - Don't strip first argument when booted from efibootmgr - Don't allocate too much memory for cmdline - Don't update cmdline_size, the kernel considers it read-only - Don't accept '\n' for initrd names v2: - File alignment was too large, was 8192 should be 512. Reported by Maarten Lankhorst on LKML. - Added UGA support for graphics - Use VIDEO_TYPE_EFI instead of hard-coded number. - Move linelength assignment until after we've assigned depth - Dynamically fill out AddressOfEntryPoint in tools/build.c - Don't use magic number for GDT/TSS stuff. Requested by Andi Kleen - The bzImage may need to be relocated as it may have been loaded at a high address address by the firmware. This was required to get my macbook booting because the firmware loaded it at 0x7cxxxxxx, which triggers this error in decompress_kernel(), if (heap > ((-__PAGE_OFFSET-(128<<20)-1) & 0x7fffffff)) error("Destination address too large"); Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Cc: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> Tested-by: NHenrik Rydberg <rydberg@euromail.se> Signed-off-by: NMatt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1321383097.2657.9.camel@mfleming-mobl1.ger.corp.intel.comSigned-off-by: NH.

This has the consequence of changing the section name use for head code from ".text.head" to ".head.text". Linus suggested that we merge the ".text.head" section with ".text" (presumably while preserving the fact that the head code starts at 0). When I tried this it caused the kernel to not boot.

Make the kernel_alignment field adjustable; this allows us to set it to a large value (intended to be 16 MB to avoid ZONE_DMA contention, memory holes and other weirdness) while a smart bootloader can still force a loading at a lesser alignment if absolutely necessary. Also export pref_address (preferred loading address, corresponding to the link-time address) and init_size, the total amount of linear memory the kernel will require during initialization.

Determine the compressed code offset (from the kernel runtime address) at compile time. This allows some minor optimizations in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_*.S, but more importantly it makes this value available to the build process, which will enable a future patch to export the necessary linear memory footprint into the bzImage header.

In the pre-decompression code, use the appropriate largest possible rep movs and rep stos to move code and clear bss, respectively. For reverse copy, do note that the initial values are supposed to be the address of the first (highest) copy datum, not one byte beyond the end of the buffer. rep strings are not necessarily the fastest way to perform these operations on all current processors, but are likely to be in the future, and perhaps more importantly, we want to encourage the architecturally right thing to do here. This also fixes a couple of trivial inefficiencies on 64 bits. [ Impact: trivial performance enhancement, increase code similarity ] Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Set up the decompression stack as soon as we know where it needs to go. That way we have a full-service stack as soon as possible, rather than relying on the BP_scratch field. Note that the stack does need to be empty during bss zeroing (or else the stack needs to be moved out of the bss segment, which is also an option.)

Both on 32 and 64 bits, we copy all the way up to the end of bss, except that on 64 bits there is a hack to avoid copying on top of the page tables. There is no point in copying bss at all, especially since we are just about to zero it all anyway. To clean up and unify the handling, we now do: - copy from startup_32 to _bss. - zero from _bss to _ebss. - the _ebss symbol is aligned to an 8-byte boundary. - the page tables are moved to a separate section. Use _bss as the copy endpoint since _edata may be misaligned. [ Impact: cleanup, trivial performance improvement ] Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Look at the: diff -u arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds output and realize that they're basially exactly the same except for trivial naming differences, and the fact that the 64-bit version has a "pgtable" thing. So unify them. There's some trivial cleanup there (make the output format a Kconfig thing rather than doing #ifdef's for it, and unify both 32-bit and 64-bit BSS end to "_ebss", where 32-bit used to use the traditional "_end"), but other than that it's really very mindless and straigt conversion. For example, I think we should aim to remove "startup_32" vs "startup_64", and just call it "startup", and get rid of one more difference. I didn't do that. Also, notice the comment in the unified vmlinux.lds.S talks about "head_64" and "startup_32" which is an odd and incorrect mix, but that was actually what the old 64-bit only lds file had, so the confusion isn't new, and now that mixing is arguably more accurate thanks to the vmlinux.lds.S file being shared between the two cases ;) [ Impact: cleanup, unification ] Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: NSam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Comments in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_32.S erroneously refer to the real mode pointer as the second and the heap area as the third argument to decompress_kernel(). In fact, these have been the first and second argument, respectively, since v2.6.20. This patch corrects the comments. It introduces no code changes.

The kernel decompressor wrapper uses memory located beyond the end of the image. This might lead to hard to debug problems, but even if it can be proven to be safe, it is at the very least unclean. I don't see any advantages either, unless you count it not being zeroed out as an advantage. This patch moves the boot-heap area to the bss segment.

The kernel only ever supports 1 version of the boot protocol so there is no need to check the boot protocol revision to see if a feature is supported. Both x86 and x86_64 support the same boot protocol so we need to implement the KEEP_SEGMENTS on x86_64 as well. It isn't just paravirt bootloaders that could use this functionality.

This patch uses the updated boot protocol to do paravirtualized boot. If the boot version is >= 2.07, then it will do two things: 1. Check the bootparams loadflags to see if we should reload the segment registers and clear interrupts. This is appropriate for normal native boot and some paravirtualized environments, but inapproprate for others. 2. Check the hardware architecture, and dispatch to the appropriate kernel entrypoint. If the bootloader doesn't set this, then we simply do the normal boot sequence.
