[ Upstream commit 1315848f1f8a0100cb6f8a7187bc320c5d98947f ]

The kfree() function was called in one case by
the get_filename() function during error handling
even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Thus return directly after a call of the function “kzalloc” failed
at the beginning.

<title>efi/libstub: fix efi_random_alloc() to allocate memory at alloc_min or higher address</title>

[ Upstream commit 3cb4a4827596abc82e55b80364f509d0fefc3051 ]

Following warning is sometimes observed while booting my servers:
  [    3.594838] DMA: preallocated 4096 KiB GFP_KERNEL pool for atomic allocations
  [    3.602918] swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1
  ...
  [    3.851862] DMA: preallocated 1024 KiB GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA pool for atomic allocation

If 'nokaslr' boot option is set, the warning always happens.

On x86, ZONE_DMA is small zone at the first 16MB of physical address
space. When this problem happens, most of that space seems to be used by
decompressed kernel. Thereby, there is not enough space at DMA_ZONE to
meet the request of DMA pool allocation.

The commit 2f77465b05b1 ("x86/efistub: Avoid placing the kernel below
LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR") tried to fix this problem by introducing lower
bound of allocation.

But the fix is not complete.

efi_random_alloc() allocates pages by following steps.
1. Count total available slots ('total_slots')
2. Select a slot ('target_slot') to allocate randomly
3. Calculate a starting address ('target') to be included target_slot
4. Allocate pages, which starting address is 'target'

In step 1, 'alloc_min' is used to offset the starting address of memory
chunk. But in step 3 'alloc_min' is not considered at all.  As the
result, 'target' can be miscalculated and become lower than 'alloc_min'.

When KASLR is disabled, 'target_slot' is always 0 and the problem
happens everytime if the EFI memory map of the system meets the
condition.

Fix this problem by calculating 'target' considering 'alloc_min'.

<title>x86/efistub: Don't clear BSS twice in mixed mode</title>

[ Upstream commit df7ecce842b846a04d087ba85fdb79a90e26a1b0 ]

Clearing BSS should only be done once, at the very beginning.
efi_pe_entry() is the entrypoint from the firmware, which may not clear
BSS and so it is done explicitly. However, efi_pe_entry() is also used
as an entrypoint by the mixed mode startup code, in which case BSS will
already have been cleared, and doing it again at this point will corrupt
global variables holding the firmware's GDT/IDT and segment selectors.

So make the memset() conditional on whether the EFI stub is running in
native mode.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b3810c5a2cc4a6665f7a65bed5393c75ce3f3aa2 ]

The EFI stub on x86 no longer invokes the decompressor as a subsequent
boot stage, but calls into the decompression code directly while running
in the context of the EFI boot services.

This means that when using the native EFI entrypoint (as opposed to the
EFI handover protocol, which clears BSS explicitly), the firmware PE
image loader is being relied upon to ensure that BSS is zeroed before
the EFI stub is entered from the firmware.

As Radek's report proves, this is a bad idea. Not all loaders do this
correctly, which means some global variables that should be statically
initialized to 0x0 may have junk in them.

So clear BSS explicitly when entering via efi_pe_entry(). Note that
zeroing BSS from C code is not generally safe, but in this case, the
following assignment and dereference of a global pointer variable
ensures that the memset() cannot be deferred or reordered.

[ Upstream commit f1d71576d2c9ec8fdb822173fa7f3de79475e9bd ]

When the generic SCMI code tears down a channel, it calls the chan_free
callback function, defined by each transport. Since multiple protocols
might share the same transport_info member, chan_free() might want to
clean up the same member multiple times within the given SCMI transport
implementation. In this case, it is SMC transport. This will lead to a NULL
pointer dereference at the second time:

Simply check for the struct pointer being NULL before trying to access
its members, to avoid this situation.

This was found when a transport doesn't really work (for instance no SMC
service), the probe routines then tries to clean up, and triggers a crash.

commit a7a6a01f88e87dec4bf2365571dd2dc7403d52d0 upstream.

The recently introduced EFI memory attributes protocol should be used
if it exists to ensure that the memory allocation created for the kernel
permits execution. This is needed for compatibility with tightened
requirements related to Windows logo certification for x86 PCs.

Currently, we simply strip the execute protect (XP) attribute from the
entire range, but this might be rejected under some firmware security
policies, and so in a subsequent patch, this will be changed to only
strip XP from the executable region that runs early, and make it
read-only (RO) as well.

In order to catch any issues early, ensure that the memory attribute
protocol works as intended, and give up if it produces spurious errors.

Note that the DXE services based fallback was always based on best
effort, so don't propagate any errors returned by that API.

[ Commit 01638431c465741e071ab34acf3bef3c2570f878 upstream ]

When KASLR is enabled, the KASLR_FLAG bit in boot_params-&gt;hdr.loadflags
should be set to 1 to propagate KASLR status from compressed kernel to
kernel, just as the choose_random_location() function does.

Currently, when the kernel is booted via the EFI stub, the KASLR_FLAG
bit in boot_params-&gt;hdr.loadflags is not set, even though it should be.
This causes some functions, such as kernel_randomize_memory(), not to
execute as expected. Fix it.

Now that the x86 EFI stub calls into some APIs exposed by the

that the global boot_params variable is set correctly before doing so.
