efi/arm: Revert "Defer persistent reservations until after paging_init()"

2019-02-23T08:08:06+00:00

Commit 582a32e708823e5957fd73ccd78dc4a9e49d21ea upstream. This reverts commit eff896288872d687d9662000ec9ae11b6d61766f, which deferred the processing of persistent memory reservations to a point where the memory may have already been allocated and overwritten, defeating the purpose.

efi/arm: Defer persistent reservations until after paging_init()

2018-11-15T09:04:46+00:00

The new memory EFI reservation feature we introduced to allow memory reservations to persist across kexec may trigger an unbounded number of calls to memblock_reserve(). The memblock subsystem can deal with this fine, but not before memblock resizing is enabled, which we can only do after paging_init(), when the memory we reallocate the array into is actually mapped. So break out the memreserve table processing into a separate routine and call it after paging_init() on arm64. On ARM, because of limited reviewing bandwidth of the maintainer, we cannot currently fix this, so instead, disable the EFI persistent memreserve entirely on ARM so we can fix it later.

efi/x86: Handle page faults occurring while running EFI runtime services

2018-09-26T10:14:55+00:00

Memory accesses performed by UEFI runtime services should be limited to: - reading/executing from EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_CODE memory regions - reading/writing from/to EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA memory regions - reading/writing by-ref arguments - reading/writing from/to the stack. Accesses outside these regions may cause the kernel to hang because the memory region requested by the firmware isn't mapped in efi_pgd, which causes a page fault in ring 0 and the kernel fails to handle it, leading to die(). To save kernel from hanging, add an EFI specific page fault handler which recovers from such faults by 1. If the efi runtime service is efi_reset_system(), reboot the machine through BIOS. 2. If the efi runtime service is _not_ efi_reset_system(), then freeze efi_rts_wq and schedule a new process. The EFI page fault handler offers us two advantages: 1. Avoid potential hangs caused by buggy firmware. 2. Shout loud that the firmware is buggy and hence is not a kernel bug.

efi: Make efi_rts_work accessible to efi page fault handler

2018-09-26T10:14:50+00:00

After the kernel has booted, if any accesses by firmware causes a page fault, the efi page fault handler would freeze efi_rts_wq and schedules a new process. To do this, the efi page fault handler needs efi_rts_work. Hence, make it accessible. There will be no race conditions in accessing this structure, because all the calls to efi runtime services are already serialized.

efi: add API to reserve memory persistently across kexec reboot

efi: honour memory reservations passed via a linux specific config table

2018-09-26T10:03:49+00:00

In order to allow the OS to reserve memory persistently across a kexec, introduce a Linux-specific UEFI configuration table that points to the head of a linked list in memory, allowing each kernel to add list items describing memory regions that the next kernel should treat as reserved. This is useful, e.g., for GICv3 based ARM systems that cannot disable DMA access to the LPI tables, forcing them to reuse the same memory region again after a kexec reboot.

efi: Deduplicate efi_open_volume()

2018-07-22T12:13:43+00:00

There's one ARM, one x86_32 and one x86_64 version of efi_open_volume() which can be folded into a single shared version by masking their differences with the efi_call_proto() macro introduced by commit: 3552fdf29f01 ("efi: Allow bitness-agnostic protocol calls"). To be able to dereference the device_handle attribute from the efi_loaded_image_t table in an arch- and bitness-agnostic manner, introduce the efi_table_attr() macro (which already exists for x86) to arm and arm64. No functional change intended.

The following commit: 7b0a911478c74 ("efi/x86: Move the EFI BGRT init code to early init code") ... removed the implementation and all the references to efi_late_init() but the function is still declared at include/linux/efi.h.

efi: Use a work queue to invoke EFI Runtime Services

2018-07-15T22:43:12+00:00

Presently, when a user process requests the kernel to execute any UEFI runtime service, the kernel temporarily switches to a separate set of page tables that describe the virtual mapping of the UEFI runtime services regions in memory. Since UEFI runtime services are typically invoked with interrupts enabled, any code that may be called during this time, will have an incorrect view of the process's address space. Although it is unusual for code running in interrupt context to make assumptions about the process context it runs in, there are cases (such as the perf subsystem taking samples) where this causes problems. So let's set up a work queue for calling UEFI runtime services, so that the actual calls are made when the work queue items are dispatched by a work queue worker running in a separate kernel thread. Such threads are not expected to have userland mappings in the first place, and so the additional mappings created for the UEFI runtime services can never clash with any. The ResetSystem() runtime service is not covered by the work queue handling, since it is not expected to return, and may be called at a time when the kernel is torn down to the point where we cannot expect work queues to still be operational. The non-blocking variants of SetVariable() and QueryVariableInfo() are also excluded: these are intended to be used from atomic context, which obviously rules out waiting for a completion to be signalled by another thread. Note that these variants are currently only used for UEFI runtime services calls that occur very early in the boot, and for ones that occur in critical conditions, e.g., to flush kernel logs to UEFI variables via efi-pstore.
