git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi into core/efi Pull v4.4 EFI updates from Matt Fleming: - Make the EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) driver explicitly non-modular by ripping out the module_* code since Kconfig doesn't allow it to be built as a module anyway. (Paul Gortmaker) - Make the x86 efi=debug kernel parameter, which enables EFI debug code and output, generic and usable by arm64. (Leif Lindholm) - Add support to the x86 EFI boot stub for 64-bit Graphics Output Protocol frame buffer addresses. (Matt Fleming) - Detect when the UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE feature is enabled in the firmware and set an efi.flags bit so the kernel knows when it can apply more strict runtime mapping attributes - Ard Biesheuvel - Auto-load the efi-pstore module on EFI systems, just like we currently do for the efivars module. (Ben Hutchings) - Add "efi_fake_mem" kernel parameter which allows the system's EFI memory map to be updated with additional attributes for specific memory ranges. This is useful for testing the kernel code that handles the EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE memmap bit even if your firmware doesn't include support. (Taku Izumi) Note: there is a semantic conflict between the following two commits: 8a53554e12e9 ("x86/efi: Fix multiple GOP device support") ae2ee627dc87 ("efifb: Add support for 64-bit frame buffer addresses") I fixed up the interaction in the merge commit, changing the type of current_fb_base from u32 to u64.

2015-10-14x86/efi: Fix multiple GOP device supportKővágó, Zoltán1-2/+6
When multiple GOP devices exists, but none of them implements ConOut, the code should just choose the first GOP (according to the comments). But currently 'fb_base' will refer to the last GOP, while other parameters to the first GOP, which will likely result in a garbled display. I can reliably reproduce this bug using my ASRock Z87M Extreme4 motherboard with CSM and integrated GPU disabled, and two PCIe video cards (NVidia GT640 and GTX980), booting from efi-stub (booting from grub works fine). On the primary display the ASRock logo remains and on the secondary screen it is garbled up completely.

2015-10-12efifb: Add support for 64-bit frame buffer addressesMatt Fleming1-4/+20
The EFI Graphics Output Protocol uses 64-bit frame buffer addresses but these get truncated to 32-bit by the EFI boot stub when storing the address in the 'lfb_base' field of 'struct screen_info'. Add a 'ext_lfb_base' field for the upper 32-bits of the frame buffer address and set VIDEO_TYPE_CAPABILITY_64BIT_BASE when the field is useable. It turns out that the reason no one has required this support so far is that there's actually code in tianocore to "downgrade" PCI resources that have option ROMs and 64-bit BARS from 64-bit to 32-bit to cope with legacy option ROMs that can't handle 64-bit addresses. The upshot is that basically all GOP devices in the wild use a 32-bit frame buffer address. Still, it is possible to build firmware that uses a full 64-bit GOP frame buffer address. Chad did, which led to him reporting this issue. Add support in anticipation of GOP devices using 64-bit addresses more widely, and so that efifb works out of the box when that happens.

2015-09-10kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core codeDave Young1-1/+1
There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to kexec_load syscall. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

2015-08-08Revert "x86/efi: Request desired alignment via the PE/COFF headers"Matt Fleming1-1/+1
This reverts commit: aeffc4928ea2 ("x86/efi: Request desired alignment via the PE/COFF headers") Linn reports that Signtool complains that kernels built with CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y are violating the PE/COFF specification because the 'SizeOfImage' field is not a multiple of 'SectionAlignment'. This violation was introduced as an optimisation to skip having the kernel relocate itself during boot and instead have the firmware place it at a correctly aligned address. No one else has complained and I'm not aware of any firmware implementations that refuse to boot with commit aeffc4928ea2, but it's a real bug, so revert the offending commit.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams: "The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules: NFIT: Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface table). After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region" devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device (disk) interface to the memory. PMEM: Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core. In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media. See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem(). BLK: This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in time. Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX. BTT: This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss). The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

Linus reported the following new warning on x86 allmodconfig with GCC 5.1: > ./arch/x86/include/asm/spinlock.h: In function ‘arch_spin_lock’: > ./arch/x86/include/asm/spinlock.h:119:3: warning: implicit declaration > of function ‘__ticket_lock_spinning’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] > __ticket_lock_spinning(lock, inc.tail); > ^ This warning triggers because of these hacks in misc.h: /* * we have to be careful, because no indirections are allowed here, and * paravirt_ops is a kind of one. As it will only run in baremetal anyway, * we just keep it from happening */ #undef CONFIG_PARAVIRT #undef CONFIG_KASAN But these hacks were not updated when CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS was added, and eventually (with the introduction of queued paravirt spinlocks in recent kernels) this created an invalid Kconfig combination and broke the build. So add a CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS #undef line as well. Also remove the _ASM_X86_DESC_H quirk: that undocumented quirk was originally added ages ago, in: 099e1377269a ("x86: use ELF format in compressed images.") and I went back to that kernel (and fixed up the main Makefile which didn't build anymore) and checked what failure it avoided: it avoided an include file dependencies related build failure related to our old x86-platforms code. That old code is long gone, the header dependencies got cleaned up, and the build does not fail anymore with the totality of asm/desc.h included - so remove the quirk.

2015-04-17x86/efi: Store upper bits of command line buffer address in ext_cmd_line_ptrRoy Franz1-0/+2
Until now, the EFI stub was only setting the 32 bit cmd_line_ptr in the setup_header structure, so on 64 bit platforms this could be truncated. This patch adds setting the upper bits of the buffer address in ext_cmd_line_ptr. This case was likely never hit, as the allocation for this buffer is done at the lowest available address. Only x86_64 kernels have this problem, as the 1-1 mapping mandated by EFI ensures that all memory is 32 bit addressable on 32 bit platforms. The EFI stub does not support mixed mode, so the 32 bit kernel on 64 bit firmware case does not need to be handled.

2015-03-23x86/boot: Standardize strcmp()Arjun Sreedharan1-1/+1
strcmp() is always expected to return 0 when arguments are equal, negative when its first argument @str1 is less than its second argument @str2 and a positive value otherwise. Previously strcmp("a", "b") returned 1. Now it gives -1, as it is supposed to. Until now this bug never triggered, because all uses for strcmp() in the boot code tested for nonzero: triton:~/tip> git grep strcmp arch/x86/boot/ arch/x86/boot/boot.h:int strcmp(const char *str1, const char *str2); arch/x86/boot/edd.c: if (!strcmp(eddarg, "skipmbr") || !strcmp(eddarg, "skip")) { arch/x86/boot/edd.c: else if (!strcmp(eddarg, "off")) arch/x86/boot/edd.c: else if (!strcmp(eddarg, "on")) should in the future strcmp() be used in a comparative way in the boot code, it might have led to (not so subtle) bugs.

2015-03-16Revert "x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation"Borislav Petkov3-39/+4
This reverts commit: f47233c2d34f ("x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation") The main reason for the revert is that the new boot flag does not work at all currently, and in order to make this work, we need non-trivial changes to the x86 boot code which we didn't manage to get done in time for merging. And even if we did, they would've been too risky so instead of rushing things and break booting 4.1 on boxes left and right, we will be very strict and conservative and will take our time with this to fix and test it properly.

2015-02-19x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculationJiri Kosina3-4/+39
Commit: e2b32e678513 ("x86, kaslr: randomize module base load address") makes the base address for module to be unconditionally randomized in case when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is defined and "nokaslr" option isn't present on the commandline. This is not consistent with how choose_kernel_location() decides whether it will randomize kernel load base. Namely, CONFIG_HIBERNATION disables kASLR (unless "kaslr" option is explicitly specified on kernel commandline), which makes the state space larger than what module loader is looking at. IOW CONFIG_HIBERNATION && CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is a valid config option, kASLR wouldn't be applied by default in that case, but module loader is not aware of that. Instead of fixing the logic in module.c, this patch takes more generic aproach. It introduces a new bootparam setup data_type SETUP_KASLR and uses that to pass the information whether kaslr has been applied during kernel decompression, and sets a global 'kaslr_enabled' variable accordingly, so that any kernel code (module loading, livepatching, ...) can make decisions based on its value. x86 module loader is converted to make use of this flag.

2015-02-14x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for memset/memmove/memcpy functionsAndrey Ryabinin2-2/+2
Recently instrumentation of builtin functions calls was removed from GCC 5.0. To check the memory accessed by such functions, userspace asan always uses interceptors for them. So now we should do this as well. This patch declares memset/memmove/memcpy as weak symbols. In mm/kasan/kasan.c we have our own implementation of those functions which checks memory before accessing it. Default memset/memmove/memcpy now now always have aliases with '__' prefix. For files that built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c) original mem* replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants, cause we don't want to check memory accesses there.

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer. 16TB of virtual addressed used for shadow memory. It's located in range [ffffec0000000000 - fffffc0000000000] between vmemmap and %esp fixup stacks. At early stage we map whole shadow region with zero page. Latter, after pages mapped to direct mapping address range we unmap zero pages from corresponding shadow (see kasan_map_shadow()) and allocate and map a real shadow memory reusing vmemmap_populate() function. Also replace __pa with __pa_nodebug before shadow initialized. __pa with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y make external function call (__phys_addr) __phys_addr is instrumented, so __asan_load could be called before shadow area initialized.

2015-02-13x86/efi: Avoid triple faults during EFI mixed mode callsMatt Fleming3-25/+197
Andy pointed out that if an NMI or MCE is received while we're in the middle of an EFI mixed mode call a triple fault will occur. This can happen, for example, when issuing an EFI mixed mode call while running perf. The reason for the triple fault is that we execute the mixed mode call in 32-bit mode with paging disabled but with 64-bit kernel IDT handlers installed throughout the call. At Andy's suggestion, stop playing the games we currently do at runtime, such as disabling paging and installing a 32-bit GDT for __KERNEL_CS. We can simply switch to the __KERNEL32_CS descriptor before invoking firmware services, and run in compatibility mode. This way, if an NMI/MCE does occur the kernel IDT handler will execute correctly, since it'll jump to __KERNEL_CS automatically. However, this change is only possible post-ExitBootServices(). Before then the firmware "owns" the machine and expects for its 32-bit IDT handlers to be left intact to service interrupts, etc. So, we now need to distinguish between early boot and runtime invocations of EFI services. During early boot, we need to restore the GDT that the firmware expects to be present. We can only jump to the __KERNEL32_CS code segment for mixed mode calls after ExitBootServices() has been invoked. A liberal sprinkling of comments in the thunking code should make the differences in early and late environments more apparent.

2014-11-12efi/x86: Move x86 back to libstubArd Biesheuvel3-21/+6
This reverts commit 84be880560fb, which itself reverted my original attempt to move x86 from #include'ing .c files from across the tree to using the EFI stub built as a static library. The issue that affected the original approach was that splitting the implementation into several .o files resulted in the variable 'efi_early' becoming a global with external linkage, which under -fPIC implies that references to it must go through the GOT. However, dealing with this additional GOT entry turned out to be troublesome on some EFI implementations. (GCC's visibility=hidden attribute is supposed to lift this requirement, but it turned out not to work on the 32-bit build.) Instead, use a pure getter function to get a reference to efi_early. This approach results in no additional GOT entries being generated, so there is no need for any changes in the early GOT handling.
