efi: Allow disabling PCI busmastering on bridges during boot
Add an option to disable the busmaster bit in the control register on
all PCI bridges before calling ExitBootServices() and passing control
to the runtime kernel. System firmware may configure the IOMMU to prevent
malicious PCI devices from being able to attack the OS via DMA. However,
since firmware can't guarantee that the OS is IOMMU-aware, it will tear
down IOMMU configuration when ExitBootServices() is called. This leaves
a window between where a hostile device could still cause damage before
Linux configures the IOMMU again.
If CONFIG_EFI_DISABLE_PCI_DMA is enabled or "efi=disable_early_pci_dma"
is passed on the command line, the EFI stub will clear the busmaster bit
on all PCI bridges before ExitBootServices() is called. This will
prevent any malicious PCI devices from being able to perform DMA until
the kernel reenables busmastering after configuring the IOMMU.
This option may cause failures with some poorly behaved hardware and
should not be enabled without testing. The kernel commandline options
"efi=disable_early_pci_dma" or "efi=no_disable_early_pci_dma" may be
used to override the default. Note that PCI devices downstream from PCI
bridges are disconnected from their drivers first, using the UEFI
driver model API, so that DMA can be disabled safely at the bridge
level.
[ardb: disconnect PCI I/O handles first, as suggested by Arvind]
