commit 38fa3206bf441911258e5001ac8b6738693f8d82 upstream.

While reboot the system by sysrq, the following bug will be occur.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/semaphore.c:90
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 128, non_block: 0, pid: 10052, name: rc.shutdown
CPU: 3 PID: 10052 Comm: rc.shutdown Tainted: G        W O      5.10.0 #1

The reason for this problem is that irq has been disabled in
machine_restart() and then it calls down_interruptible() in
virt_efi_reset_system(), which would occur sleep in irq context,
it is dangerous! Commit 99409b935c9a("locking/semaphore: Add
might_sleep() to down_*() family") add might_sleep() in
down_interruptible(), so the bug info is here. down_trylock()
can solve this problem, cause there is no might_sleep.

commit b3a72ca80351917cc23f9e24c35f3c3979d3c121 upstream.

Joe reports that using a statically allocated buffer for converting CPER
error records into human readable text is probably a bad idea. Even
though we are not aware of any actual issues, a stack buffer is clearly
a better choice here anyway, so let's move the buffer into the stack
frames of the two functions that refer to it.

[ Upstream commit 942859d969de7f6f7f2659a79237a758b42782da ]

snprintf() should be given the full buffer size, not one less. And it
guarantees nul-termination, so doing it manually afterwards is
pointless.

It's even potentially harmful (though probably not in practice because
CPER_REC_LEN is 256), due to the "return how much would have been
written had the buffer been big enough" semantics. I.e., if the bank
and/or device strings are long enough that the "DIMM location ..."
output gets truncated, writing to msg[n] is a buffer overflow.

UEFI spec 2.9, p.108, table 4-1 lists the scenario that both attributes
are cleared with the description "No memory access protection is
possible for Entry". So we can have valid entries where both attributes
are cleared, so remove the check.

commit 435d1a471598752446a72ad1201b3c980526d869 upstream.

In most cases, such as CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT and
CONFIG_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE, boot-time modifications to firmware tables
are tied to specific Kconfig options.  Currently this is not the case
for modifying the ACPI SSDT via the efivar_ssdt kernel command line
option and associated EFI variable.

This patch adds CONFIG_EFI_CUSTOM_SSDT_OVERLAYS, which defaults
disabled, in order to allow enabling or disabling that feature during
the build.

[ Upstream commit 4ddf4739be6e375116c375f0a68bf3893ffcee21 ]

kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Previous
commit "b8eb718348b8" fixed a similar problem.

the need to call kobject_put() on the kobject if an error is returned.
Add this missing call to the error path.

Commit:

  3a6b6c6fb23667fa ("efi: Make EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE initialization common across all architectures")

moved the call to efi_memattr_init() from ARM specific to the generic
EFI init code, in order to be able to apply the restricted permissions
described in that table on x86 as well.

We never enabled this feature fully on i386, and so mapping and
reserving this table is pointless. However, due to the early call to
memblock_reserve(), the memory bookkeeping gets confused to the point
where it produces the splat below when we try to map the memory later
on:

<id>urn:sha1:5c3d354b51be3546dacbe55bde67eccdd108d007</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 286d3250c9d6437340203fb64938bea344729a0e upstream.

There is a race and a buffer overflow corrupting a kernel memory while
reading an EFI variable with a size more than 1024 bytes via the older
sysfs method. This happens because accessing struct efi_variable in
efivar_{attr,size,data}_read() and friends is not protected from
a concurrent access leading to a kernel memory corruption and, at best,
to a crash. The race scenario is the following:

CPU0:                                CPU1:
efivar_attr_read()
  var-&gt;DataSize = 1024;
  efivar_entry_get(... &amp;var-&gt;DataSize)
    down_interruptible(&amp;efivars_lock)
                                     efivar_attr_read() // same EFI var
                                       var-&gt;DataSize = 1024;
                                       efivar_entry_get(... &amp;var-&gt;DataSize)
                                         down_interruptible(&amp;efivars_lock)
    virt_efi_get_variable()
    // returns EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL but
    // var-&gt;DataSize is set to a real
    // var size more than 1024 bytes
    up(&amp;efivars_lock)
                                         virt_efi_get_variable()
                                         // called with var-&gt;DataSize set
                                         // to a real var size, returns
                                         // successfully and overwrites
                                         // a 1024-bytes kernel buffer
                                         up(&amp;efivars_lock)

This can be reproduced by concurrent reading of an EFI variable which size
is more than 1024 bytes:

  ts# for cpu in $(seq 0 $(nproc --ignore=1)); do ( taskset -c $cpu \
  cat /sys/firmware/efi/vars/KEKDefault*/size &amp; ) ; done

Fix this by using a local variable for a var's data buffer size so it
does not get overwritten.
