x86/efi-bgrt: Switch all pr_err() to pr_notice() for invalid BGRT

2016-05-04T06:36:44+00:00

The promise of pretty boot splashes from firmware via BGRT was at best only that; a promise. The kernel diligently checks to make sure the BGRT data firmware gives it is valid, and dutifully warns the user when it isn't. However, it does so via the pr_err log level which seems unnecessary. The user cannot do anything about this and there really isn't an error on the part of Linux to correct. This lowers the log level by using pr_notice instead. Users will no longer have their boot process uglified by the kernel reminding us that firmware can and often is broken when the 'quiet' kernel parameter is specified. Ironic, considering BGRT is supposed to make boot pretty to begin with.

Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar: "This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature (ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation. It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf. The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces. These bugs are hard to detect at the source code level. Such bugs result in incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior. The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool' user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/. The tool's (very simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already upstream). Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style. Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes the instruction stream and interprets it. (Right now objtool supports the x86-64 architecture.) From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt: "The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named objtool which runs at compile time. It has a "check" subcommand which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack metadata. It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable. Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files. For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction. It also follows code paths involving special sections, like .altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements, for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables." When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs warnings in compiler warning format: warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer ... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them. All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free. Most of them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code. There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well: - To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so that they can be used for optimized live patching. - To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of CFI stack frames at build time. CFI debuginfo is notoriously unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side. The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well, so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching or CFI debuginfo angle" * 'core-objtool-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (52 commits) objtool: Only print one warning per function objtool: Add several performance improvements tools: Copy hashtable.h into tools directory objtool: Fix false positive warnings for functions with multiple switch statements objtool: Rename some variables and functions objtool: Remove superflous INIT_LIST_HEAD objtool: Add helper macros for traversing instructions objtool: Fix false positive warnings related to sibling calls objtool: Compile with debugging symbols objtool: Detect infinite recursion objtool: Prevent infinite recursion in noreturn detection objtool: Detect and warn if libelf is missing and don't break the build tools: Support relative directory path for 'O=' objtool: Support CROSS_COMPILE x86/asm/decoder: Use explicitly signed chars objtool: Enable stack metadata validation on 64-bit x86 objtool: Add CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option objtool: Add tool to perform compile-time stack metadata validation x86/kprobes: Mark kretprobe_trampoline() stack frame as non-standard sched: Always inline context_switch() ...

x86/efi: Fix boot crash by always mapping boot service regions into new EFI page tables

2016-03-12T15:57:45+00:00

Some machines have EFI regions in page zero (physical address 0x00000000) and historically that region has been added to the e820 map via trim_bios_range(), and ultimately mapped into the kernel page tables. It was not mapped via efi_map_regions() as one would expect. Alexis reports that with the new separate EFI page tables some boot services regions, such as page zero, are not mapped. This triggers an oops during the SetVirtualAddressMap() runtime call. For the EFI boot services quirk on x86 we need to memblock_reserve() boot services regions until after SetVirtualAddressMap(). Doing that while respecting the ownership of regions that may have already been reserved by the kernel was the motivation behind this commit: 7d68dc3f1003 ("x86, efi: Do not reserve boot services regions within reserved areas") That patch was merged at a time when the EFI runtime virtual mappings were inserted into the kernel page tables as described above, and the trick of setting ->numpages (and hence the region size) to zero to track regions that should not be freed in efi_free_boot_services() meant that we never mapped those regions in efi_map_regions(). Instead we were relying solely on the existing kernel mappings. Now that we have separate page tables we need to make sure the EFI boot services regions are mapped correctly, even if someone else has already called memblock_reserve(). Instead of stashing a tag in ->numpages, set the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME bit of ->attribute. Since it generally makes no sense to mark a boot services region as required at runtime, it's pretty much guaranteed the firmware will not have already set this bit. For the record, the specific circumstances under which Alexis triggered this bug was that an EFI runtime driver on his machine was responding to the EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE event during SetVirtualAddressMap(). The event handler for this driver looks like this, sub rsp,0x28 lea rdx,[rip+0x2445] # 0xaa948720 mov ecx,0x4 call func_aa9447c0 ; call to ConvertPointer(4, & 0xaa948720) mov r11,QWORD PTR [rip+0x2434] # 0xaa948720 xor eax,eax mov BYTE PTR [r11+0x1],0x1 add rsp,0x28 ret Which is pretty typical code for an EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE handler. The "mov r11, QWORD PTR [rip+0x2424]" was the faulting instruction because ConvertPointer() was being called to convert the address 0x0000000000000000, which when converted is left unchanged and remains 0x0000000000000000. The output of the oops trace gave the impression of a standard NULL pointer dereference bug, but because we're accessing physical addresses during ConvertPointer(), it wasn't. EFI boot services code is stored at that address on Alexis' machine.

objtool: Mark non-standard object files and directories

2016-02-29T07:35:02+00:00

Code which runs outside the kernel's normal mode of operation often does unusual things which can cause a static analysis tool like objtool to emit false positive warnings: - boot image - vdso image - relocation - realmode - efi - head - purgatory - modpost Set OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD for their related files and directories, which will tell objtool to skip checking them. It's ok to skip them because they don't affect runtime stack traces. Also skip the following code which does the right thing with respect to frame pointers, but is too "special" to be validated by a tool: - entry - mcount Also skip the test_nx module because it modifies its exception handling table at runtime, which objtool can't understand. Fortunately it's just a test module so it doesn't matter much. Currently objtool is the only user of OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, but it might eventually be useful for other tools.
