efivars: check for EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES

2013-07-11T10:00:31+00:00

The efivars code requires EFI runtime services to function, so check that they are enabled. This fixes a crash when booting with the "noefi" kernel parameter, and also when mixing kernel and firmware "bitness", e.g. 32-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.

Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc

2013-07-04T17:29:23+00:00

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "This is the powerpc changes for the 3.11 merge window. In addition to the usual bug fixes and small updates, the main highlights are: - Support for transparent huge pages by Aneesh Kumar for 64-bit server processors. This allows the use of 16M pages as transparent huge pages on kernels compiled with a 64K base page size. - Base VFIO support for KVM on power by Alexey Kardashevskiy - Wiring up of our nvram to the pstore infrastructure, including putting compressed oopses in there by Aruna Balakrishnaiah - Move, rework and improve our "EEH" (basically PCI error handling and recovery) infrastructure. It is no longer specific to pseries but is now usable by the new "powernv" platform as well (no hypervisor) by Gavin Shan. - I fixed some bugs in our math-emu instruction decoding and made it usable to emulate some optional FP instructions on processors with hard FP that lack them (such as fsqrt on Freescale embedded processors). - Support for Power8 "Event Based Branch" facility by Michael Ellerman. This facility allows what is basically "userspace interrupts" for performance monitor events. - A bunch of Transactional Memory vs. Signals bug fixes and HW breakpoint/watchpoint fixes by Michael Neuling. And more ... I appologize in advance if I've failed to highlight something that somebody deemed worth it." * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (156 commits) pstore: Add hsize argument in write_buf call of pstore_ftrace_call powerpc/fsl: add MPIC timer wakeup support powerpc/mpic: create mpic subsystem object powerpc/mpic: add global timer support powerpc/mpic: add irq_set_wake support powerpc/85xx: enable coreint for all the 64bit boards powerpc/8xx: Erroneous double irq_eoi() on CPM IRQ in MPC8xx powerpc/fsl: Enable CONFIG_E1000E in mpc85xx_smp_defconfig powerpc/mpic: Add get_version API both for internal and external use powerpc: Handle both new style and old style reserve maps powerpc/hw_brk: Fix off by one error when validating DAWR region end powerpc/pseries: Support compression of oops text via pstore powerpc/pseries: Re-organise the oops compression code pstore: Pass header size in the pstore write callback powerpc/powernv: Fix iommu initialization again powerpc/pseries: Inform the hypervisor we are using EBB regs powerpc/perf: Add power8 EBB support powerpc/perf: Core EBB support for 64-bit book3s powerpc/perf: Drop MMCRA from thread_struct powerpc/perf: Don't enable if we have zero events ...

efivars: If pstore_register fails, free unneeded pstore buffer

2013-06-28T22:23:24+00:00

This is patch 3/3 of a patch set that cleans up pstore_register failure paths. If efivars fails to register with pstore, there is no point to keeping the 4 KB buffer around. It's only used by the pstore read/write routines. Signed-off-by: Lenny Szubowicz Reported-by: Naotaka Hamaguchi Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

efivar: fix oops in efivar_update_sysfs_entries() caused by memory reuse

2013-05-13T19:20:02+00:00

The loop in efivar_update_sysfs_entries() reuses the same allocation for entries each time it calls efivar_create_sysfs_entry(entry). This is wrong because efivar_create_sysfs_entry() expects to keep the memory it was passed, so the caller may not free it (and may not pass the same memory in multiple times). This leads to the oops below. Fix by getting a new allocation each time we go around the loop. ---[ end trace ba4907d5c519d111 ]--- BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [] efivar_entry_find+0x14f/0x2d0 PGD 0 Oops: 0000 [#2] SMP Modules linked in: oops(OF+) ebtable_nat ebtables xt_CHECKSUM [...] CPU: 0 PID: 301 Comm: kworker/0:2 Tainted: GF D O 3.9.0+ #1 Hardware name: LENOVO 4291EV7/4291EV7, BIOS 8DET52WW (1.22 ) 09/15/2011 Workqueue: events efivar_update_sysfs_entries task: ffff8801955920c0 ti: ffff88019413e000 task.ti: ffff88019413e000 RIP: 0010:[] [] efivar_entry_find+0x14f/0x2d0 RSP: 0018:ffff88019413fa48 EFLAGS: 00010006 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff880195d87c00 RCX: ffffffff81ab6f60 RDX: ffff88019413fb88 RSI: 0000000000000400 RDI: ffff880196254000 RBP: ffff88019413fbd8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffff8800dad99037 R10: ffff880195d87c00 R11: 0000000000000430 R12: ffffffff81ab6f60 R13: fffffffffffff7d8 R14: ffff880196254000 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88019e200000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000001a0b000 CR4: 00000000000407f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Stack: ffff88019413fb78 ffff88019413fb88 ffffffff81e85d60 03000000972b5c00 ffff88019413fa29 ffffffff81e85d60 ffff88019413fbfb 0000000197087280 00000000000000fe 0000000000000001 ffffffff81e85dd9 ffff880197087280 Call Trace: [] ? idr_get_empty_slot+0x131/0x240 [] ? put_dec+0x72/0x90 [] ? cache_alloc_refill+0x170/0x2f0 [] efivar_update_sysfs_entry+0x150/0x220 [] ? efi_call2+0x9/0x70 [] ? virt_efi_get_next_variable+0x47/0x1b0 [] ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x1af/0x1c0 [] efivar_init+0x2c3/0x380 [] ? efivar_delete+0xd0/0xd0 [] efivar_update_sysfs_entries+0x6f/0x90 [] process_one_work+0x183/0x490 [] worker_thread+0x120/0x3a0 [] ? manage_workers+0x160/0x160 [] kthread+0xce/0xe0 [] ? kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x70/0x70 [] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [] ? kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x70/0x70 Code: 8d 55 b0 48 8d 45 a0 49 81 ed 28 08 00 00 48 89 95 78 fe [...] RIP [] efivar_entry_find+0x14f/0x2d0 RSP CR2: 0000000000000000 ---[ end trace ba4907d5c519d112 ]--- Cc: James Bottomley Cc: Tomoki Sekiyama Signed-off-by: Seiji Aguchi Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming

efi: locking fix in efivar_entry_set_safe()

2013-04-30T15:03:18+00:00

The intent is that if we aren't allowed to block because we're in an NMI or an emergency then we only take the lock if it is uncontended. Part of the problem is the test is reversed so we return -EBUSY if we acquire the lock. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming

efi, pstore: Read data from variable store before memcpy()

2013-04-30T15:03:10+00:00

Seiji reported getting empty dmesg-* files, because the data was never actually read in efi_pstore_read_func(), and so the memcpy() was copying garbage data. This patch necessitated adding __efivar_entry_get() which is callable between efivar_entry_iter_{begin,end}(). We can also delete __efivar_entry_size() because efi_pstore_read_func() was the only caller.
