x86/efi: Use all 64 bit of efi_memmap in setup_e820()

2015-07-30T17:07:10+00:00

The efi_info structure stores low 32 bits of memory map in efi_memmap and high 32 bits in efi_memmap_hi. While constructing pointer in the setup_e820(), need to take into account all 64 bit of the pointer. It is because on 64bit machine the function efi_get_memory_map() may return full 64bit pointer and before the patch that pointer was truncated. The issue is triggered on Parallles virtual machine and fixed with this patch. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Skorodumov Cc: Denis V. Lunev Cc: Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming

e820, efi: add ACPI 6.0 persistent memory types

2015-05-28T01:46:05+00:00

ACPI 6.0 formalizes e820-type-7 and efi-type-14 as persistent memory. Mark it "reserved" and allow it to be claimed by a persistent memory device driver. This definition is in addition to the Linux kernel's existing type-12 definition that was recently added in support of shipping platforms with NVDIMM support that predate ACPI 6.0 (which now classifies type-12 as OEM reserved). Note, /proc/iomem can be consulted for differentiating legacy "Persistent Memory (legacy)" E820_PRAM vs standard "Persistent Memory" E820_PMEM.

x86/efi: Store upper bits of command line buffer address in ext_cmd_line_ptr

2015-04-17T14:46:32+00:00

Until now, the EFI stub was only setting the 32 bit cmd_line_ptr in the setup_header structure, so on 64 bit platforms this could be truncated. This patch adds setting the upper bits of the buffer address in ext_cmd_line_ptr. This case was likely never hit, as the allocation for this buffer is done at the lowest available address. Only x86_64 kernels have this problem, as the 1-1 mapping mandated by EFI ensures that all memory is 32 bit addressable on 32 bit platforms. The EFI stub does not support mixed mode, so the 32 bit kernel on 64 bit firmware case does not need to be handled. Signed-off-by: Roy Franz Cc: Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming

x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for memset/memmove/memcpy functions

2015-02-14T05:21:41+00:00

Recently instrumentation of builtin functions calls was removed from GCC 5.0. To check the memory accessed by such functions, userspace asan always uses interceptors for them. So now we should do this as well. This patch declares memset/memmove/memcpy as weak symbols. In mm/kasan/kasan.c we have our own implementation of those functions which checks memory before accessing it. Default memset/memmove/memcpy now now always have aliases with '__' prefix. For files that built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c) original mem* replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants, cause we don't want to check memory accesses there.

efi/x86: Move x86 back to libstub

2014-11-11T22:23:11+00:00

This reverts commit 84be880560fb, which itself reverted my original attempt to move x86 from #include'ing .c files from across the tree to using the EFI stub built as a static library. The issue that affected the original approach was that splitting the implementation into several .o files resulted in the variable 'efi_early' becoming a global with external linkage, which under -fPIC implies that references to it must go through the GOT. However, dealing with this additional GOT entry turned out to be troublesome on some EFI implementations. (GCC's visibility=hidden attribute is supposed to lift this requirement, but it turned out not to work on the 32-bit build.) Instead, use a pure getter function to get a reference to efi_early. This approach results in no additional GOT entries being generated, so there is no need for any changes in the early GOT handling.

x86/efi: Adding efi_printks on memory allocationa and pci.reads

2014-10-03T17:41:03+00:00

All other calls to allocate memory seem to make some noise already, with the exception of two calls (for gop, uga) in the setup_graphics path. The purpose is to be noisy on worrysome errors immediately. commit fb86b2440de0 ("x86/efi: Add better error logging to EFI boot stub") introduces printing false alarms for lots of hardware. Rather than playing Whack a Mole with non-fatal exit conditions, try the other way round. This is per Matt Fleming's suggestion: > Where I think we could improve things > is by adding efi_printk() message in certain error paths. Clearly, not > all error paths need such messages, e.g. the EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER path > you highlighted above, but it makes sense for memory allocation and PCI > read failures.

efi: Add efi= parameter parsing to the EFI boot stub

2014-10-03T17:40:57+00:00

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 4bf7111f5016 ("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.

x86/efi: Truncate 64-bit values when calling 32-bit OutputString()

2014-09-24T20:56:46+00:00

If we're executing the 32-bit efi_char16_printk() code path (i.e. running on top of 32-bit firmware) we know that efi_early->text_output will be a 32-bit value, even though ->text_output has type u64. Unfortunately, we currently pass ->text_output directly to efi_early->call() so for CONFIG_X86_32 the compiler will push a 64-bit value onto the stack, causing the other parameters to be misaligned. The way we handle this in the rest of the EFI boot stub is to pass pointers as arguments to efi_early->call(), which automatically do the right thing (pointers are 32-bit on CONFIG_X86_32, and we simply ignore the upper 32-bits of the argument register if running in 64-bit mode with 32-bit firmware). This fixes a corruption bug when printing strings from the 32-bit EFI boot stub. Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84241 Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming
