EFI/CPER: don't go past the ARM processor CPER record buffer

2026-03-04T12:20:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit eae21beecb95a3b69ee5c38a659f774e171d730e ] There's a logic inside GHES/CPER to detect if the section_length is too small, but it doesn't detect if it is too big. Currently, if the firmware receives an ARM processor CPER record stating that a section length is big, kernel will blindly trust section_length, producing a very long dump. For instance, a 67 bytes record with ERR_INFO_NUM set 46198 and section length set to 854918320 would dump a lot of data going a way past the firmware memory-mapped area. Fix it by adding a logic to prevent it to go past the buffer if ERR_INFO_NUM is too big, making it report instead: [Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 1 [Hardware Error]: event severity: recoverable [Hardware Error]: Error 0, type: recoverable [Hardware Error]: section_type: ARM processor error [Hardware Error]: MIDR: 0xff304b2f8476870a [Hardware Error]: section length: 854918320, CPER size: 67 [Hardware Error]: section length is too big [Hardware Error]: firmware-generated error record is incorrect [Hardware Error]: ERR_INFO_NUM is 46198 Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Reviewed-by: Jonathan Cameron Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel Reviewed-by: Hanjun Guo [ rjw: Subject and changelog tweaks ] Link: https://patch.msgid.link/41cd9f6b3ace3cdff7a5e864890849e4b1c58b63.1767871950.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

efi/cper: align ARM CPER type with UEFI 2.9A/2.10 specs

2026-01-11T14:21:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 96b010536ee020e716d28d9b359a4bcd18800aeb ] Up to UEFI spec 2.9, the type byte of CPER struct for ARM processor was defined simply as: Type at byte offset 4: - Cache error - TLB Error - Bus Error - Micro-architectural Error All other values are reserved Yet, there was no information about how this would be encoded. Spec 2.9A errata corrected it by defining: - Bit 1 - Cache Error - Bit 2 - TLB Error - Bit 3 - Bus Error - Bit 4 - Micro-architectural Error All other values are reserved That actually aligns with the values already defined on older versions at N.2.4.1. Generic Processor Error Section. Spec 2.10 also preserve the same encoding as 2.9A. Adjust CPER and GHES handling code for both generic and ARM processors to properly handle UEFI 2.9A and 2.10 encoding.

efi/cper: Add a new helper function to print bitmasks

2026-01-11T14:21:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit a976d790f49499ccaa0f991788ad8ebf92e7fd5c ] Add a helper function to print a string with names associated to each bit field. A typical example is: const char * const bits[] = { "bit 3 name", "bit 4 name", "bit 5 name", }; char str[120]; unsigned int bitmask = BIT(3) | BIT(5); #define MASK GENMASK(5,3) cper_bits_to_str(str, sizeof(str), FIELD_GET(MASK, bitmask), bits, ARRAY_SIZE(bits)); The above code fills string "str" with "bit 3 name|bit 5 name".
