[ Upstream commit 4e46c2a956215482418d7b315749fb1b6c6bc224 ]

The UEFI spec revision 2.7 errata A section 8.4 has the following to
say about the virtual memory runtime services:

  "This section contains function definitions for the virtual memory
  support that may be optionally used by an operating system at runtime.
  If an operating system chooses to make EFI runtime service calls in a
  virtual addressing mode instead of the flat physical mode, then the
  operating system must use the services in this section to switch the
  EFI runtime services from flat physical addressing to virtual
  addressing."

So it is pretty clear that calling SetVirtualAddressMap() is entirely
optional, and so there is no point in doing so unless it achieves
anything useful for us.

This is not the case for 64-bit ARM. The identity mapping used by the
firmware is arbitrarily converted into another permutation of userland
addresses (i.e., bits [63:48] cleared), and the runtime code could easily
deal with the original layout in exactly the same way as it deals with
the converted layout. However, due to constraints related to page size
differences if the OS is not running with 4k pages, and related to
systems that may expose the individual sections of PE/COFF runtime
modules as different memory regions, creating the virtual layout is a
bit fiddly, and requires us to sort the memory map and reason about
adjacent regions with identical memory types etc etc.

So the obvious fix is to stop calling SetVirtualAddressMap() altogether
on arm64 systems. However, to avoid surprises, which are notoriously
hard to diagnose when it comes to OS&lt;-&gt;firmware interactions, let's
start by making it an opt-out feature, and implement support for the
'efi=novamap' kernel command line parameter on ARM and arm64 systems.

( Note that 32-bit ARM generally does require SetVirtualAddressMap() to be
  used, given that the physical memory map and the kernel virtual address
  map are not guaranteed to be non-overlapping like on arm64. However,
  having support for efi=novamap,noruntime on 32-bit ARM, combined with
  the recently proposed support for earlycon=efifb, is likely to be useful
  to diagnose boot issues on such systems if they have no accessible serial
  port. )

<title>efi/memattr: Don't bail on zero VA if it equals the region's PA</title>

[ Upstream commit 5de0fef0230f3c8d75cff450a71740a7bf2db866 ]

The EFI memory attributes code cross-references the EFI memory map with
the more granular EFI memory attributes table to ensure that they are in
sync before applying the strict permissions to the regions it describes.

Since we always install virtual mappings for the EFI runtime regions to
which these strict permissions apply, we currently perform a sanity check
on the EFI memory descriptor, and ensure that the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME bit
is set, and that the virtual address has been assigned.

However, in cases where a runtime region exists at physical address 0x0,
and the virtual mapping equals the physical mapping, e.g., when running
in mixed mode on x86, we encounter a memory descriptor with the runtime
attribute and virtual address 0x0, and incorrectly draw the conclusion
that a runtime region exists for which no virtual mapping was installed,
and give up altogether. The consequence of this is that firmware mappings
retain their read-write-execute permissions, making the system more
vulnerable to attacks.

So let's only bail if the virtual address of 0x0 has been assigned to a
physical region that does not reside at address 0x0.

[ Upstream commit 45b14a4ffcc1e0b5caa246638f942cbe7eaea7ad ]

When checking a generic status block, we iterate over all the generic
data blocks. The loop condition only checks that the start of the
generic data block is valid (within estatus-&gt;data_length) but not the
whole block. Because the size of data blocks (excluding error data) may
vary depending on the revision and the revision is contained within the
data block, ensure that enough of the current data block is valid before
dereferencing any members otherwise an out-of-bounds access may occur if
estatus-&gt;data_length is invalid.

This relies on the fact that struct acpi_hest_generic_data_v300 is a
superset of the earlier version.  Also rework the other checks to avoid
potential underflow.

commit df997abeebadaa4824271009e2d2b526a70a11cb upstream.

Add missing break statement in order to prevent the code from falling
through to case ISCSI_BOOT_TGT_NAME, which is unnecessary.

This bug was found thanks to the ongoing efforts to enable
-Wimplicit-fallthrough.

commit 46edb8d1322c1763dd04e179992f8e9996085047 upstream.

The device/driver model clearly mandates that bus driver that discover
and allocate the device must set the release callback. This callback
will be used to free the device after all references have gone away.

scmi bus driver is missing the obvious callback which will result in
the following warning if the device is unregistered:

Device 'scmi_dev.1' does not have a release() function, it is broken and
must be fixed. See Documentation/kobject.txt.

everything required for device release already in scmi_device_destroy,
so we just need to move freeing of the device to scmi_device_release.

[ Upstream commit ab2180a15ce54739fed381efb4cb12e78dfb1561 ]

Since commit:

   ce2e6db554fa ("brcmfmac: Add support for getting nvram contents from EFI variables")

we have a device driver accessing the efivars API. Several functions in
the efivars API assume __efivars is set, i.e., that they will be accessed
only after efivars_register() has been called. However, the following NULL
pointer access was reported calling efivar_entry_size() from the brcmfmac
device driver:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008
  pgd = 60bfa5f1

Disassembly showed that the local static variable __efivars is NULL,
which is not entirely unexpected given that it is a non-EFI platform.

So add a NULL pointer check to efivar_entry_size(), and to related
functions while at it. In efivars_register() a couple of sanity checks
are added as well.

[ Upstream commit 3db5e0ba8b8f4aee631d7ee04b7a11c56cfdc213 ]

When building the kernel with Clang, some disabled warnings appear
because this Makefile overrides KBUILD_CFLAGS for x86{,_64}. Add them to
this list so that the build is clean again.

-Wpointer-sign was disabled for the whole kernel before the beginning of Git history.

-Waddress-of-packed-member was disabled for the whole kernel and for
the early boot code in these commits:

  bfb38988c51e ("kbuild: clang: Disable 'address-of-packed-member' warning")
  20c6c1890455 ("x86/boot: Disable the address-of-packed-member compiler warning").

-Wgnu was disabled for the whole kernel and for the early boot code in
these commits:

  61163efae020 ("kbuild: LLVMLinux: Add Kbuild support for building kernel with Clang")
  6c3b56b19730 ("x86/boot: Disable Clang warnings about GNU extensions").

[ Upstream commit 33412b8673135b18ea42beb7f5117ed0091798b6 ]

Commit:

  3ea86495aef2 ("efi/arm: preserve early mapping of UEFI memory map longer for BGRT")

deferred the unmap of the early mapping of the UEFI memory map to
accommodate the ACPI BGRT code, which looks up the memory type that
backs the BGRT table to validate it against the requirements of the UEFI spec.

Unfortunately, this causes problems on ARM, which does not permit
early mappings to persist after paging_init() is called, resulting
in a WARN() splat. Since we don't support the BGRT table on ARM anway,
let's revert ARM to the old behaviour, which is to take down the
early mapping at the end of efi_init().

commit 41f1c48420709470c51ee0e54b6fb28b956bb4e0 upstream.

When building with CONFIG_EFI and CONFIG_EFI_STUB on ARM, the libstub
Makefile would use -mno-single-pic-base without checking it was
supported by the compiler. As the ARM (32-bit) clang backend does not
support this flag, the build would fail.

This changes the Makefile to check the compiler's support for
-mno-single-pic-base before using it, similar to c1c386681bd7 ("ARM:
8767/1: add support for building ARM kernel with clang").
