2013-09-11firmware/dmi_scan: drop OOM messagesJean Delvare1-17/+6
As reported by Joe Perches: OOM messages generally aren't useful. dmi_alloc is either a trivial front-end to kzalloc, and kzalloc already does a dump_stack() when OOM, or for x86, dmi_alloc uses extend_brk which BUGs when unsuccessful. So we can remove all 6 such log messages in the dmi_scan driver, to shrink the binary size (by 528 bytes on x86_64.)

2013-09-11firmware/dmi_scan: drop obsolete commentJean Delvare1-5/+0
This comment predates the introduction of early_ioremap. Since then the missing calls to dmi_iounmap have been added by Ingo and Yinghai in commits 0d64484f7ea1 ("x86: fix DMI ioremap leak") and 3212bff370c2 ("x86: left over fix for leak of early_ioremp in dmi_scan") . That was over 5 years ago so it is about time to drop this now misleading comment.

2013-07-03dmi: add support for exact DMI matches in addition to substring matchingJani Nikula1-3/+9
dmi_match() considers a substring match to be a successful match. This is not always sufficient to distinguish between DMI data for different systems. Add support for exact string matching using strcmp() in addition to the substring matching using strstr(). The specific use case in the i915 driver is to allow us to use an exact match for D510MO, without also incorrectly matching D510MOV: { .ident = "Intel D510MO", .matches = { DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "Intel"), DMI_EXACT_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "D510MO"), }, } Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Cc: <annndddrr@gmail.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Cornel Panceac <cpanceac@gmail.com> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-05-13efivar: fix oops in efivar_update_sysfs_entries() caused by memory reuseSeiji Aguchi1-5/+3
The loop in efivar_update_sysfs_entries() reuses the same allocation for entries each time it calls efivar_create_sysfs_entry(entry). This is wrong because efivar_create_sysfs_entry() expects to keep the memory it was passed, so the caller may not free it (and may not pass the same memory in multiple times). This leads to the oops below. Fix by getting a new allocation each time we go around the loop. ---[ end trace ba4907d5c519d111 ]--- BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff8142f81f>] efivar_entry_find+0x14f/0x2d0 PGD 0 Oops: 0000 [#2] SMP Modules linked in: oops(OF+) ebtable_nat ebtables xt_CHECKSUM [...] CPU: 0 PID: 301 Comm: kworker/0:2 Tainted: GF D O 3.9.0+ #1 Hardware name: LENOVO 4291EV7/4291EV7, BIOS 8DET52WW (1.22 ) 09/15/2011 Workqueue: events efivar_update_sysfs_entries task: ffff8801955920c0 ti: ffff88019413e000 task.ti: ffff88019413e000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8142f81f>] [<ffffffff8142f81f>] efivar_entry_find+0x14f/0x2d0 RSP: 0018:ffff88019413fa48 EFLAGS: 00010006 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff880195d87c00 RCX: ffffffff81ab6f60 RDX: ffff88019413fb88 RSI: 0000000000000400 RDI: ffff880196254000 RBP: ffff88019413fbd8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffff8800dad99037 R10: ffff880195d87c00 R11: 0000000000000430 R12: ffffffff81ab6f60 R13: fffffffffffff7d8 R14: ffff880196254000 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88019e200000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000001a0b000 CR4: 00000000000407f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Stack: ffff88019413fb78 ffff88019413fb88 ffffffff81e85d60 03000000972b5c00 ffff88019413fa29 ffffffff81e85d60 ffff88019413fbfb 0000000197087280 00000000000000fe 0000000000000001 ffffffff81e85dd9 ffff880197087280 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81254371>] ? idr_get_empty_slot+0x131/0x240 [<ffffffff8125b6d2>] ? put_dec+0x72/0x90 [<ffffffff81158e40>] ? cache_alloc_refill+0x170/0x2f0 [<ffffffff81430420>] efivar_update_sysfs_entry+0x150/0x220 [<ffffffff8103dd29>] ? efi_call2+0x9/0x70 [<ffffffff8103d787>] ? virt_efi_get_next_variable+0x47/0x1b0 [<ffffffff8115a8df>] ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x1af/0x1c0 [<ffffffff81430033>] efivar_init+0x2c3/0x380 [<ffffffff814302d0>] ? efivar_delete+0xd0/0xd0 [<ffffffff8143111f>] efivar_update_sysfs_entries+0x6f/0x90 [<ffffffff810605f3>] process_one_work+0x183/0x490 [<ffffffff81061780>] worker_thread+0x120/0x3a0 [<ffffffff81061660>] ? manage_workers+0x160/0x160 [<ffffffff8106752e>] kthread+0xce/0xe0 [<ffffffff81067460>] ? kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x70/0x70 [<ffffffff81543c5c>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [<ffffffff81067460>] ? kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x70/0x70 Code: 8d 55 b0 48 8d 45 a0 49 81 ed 28 08 00 00 48 89 95 78 fe [...] RIP [<ffffffff8142f81f>] efivar_entry_find+0x14f/0x2d0 RSP <ffff88019413fa48> CR2: 0000000000000000 ---[ end trace ba4907d5c519d112 ]--- Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Cc: Tomoki Sekiyama <tomoki.sekiyama@hds.com> Signed-off-by: Seiji Aguchi <seiji.aguchi@hds.com> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

Move the calls to memcpy_fromio() up into the loop in dmi_scan_machine(), and move the signature checks back down into dmi_decode().

x86 and ia64 can acquire extra hardware identification information from DMI and print it along with task dumps; however, the usage isn't consistent. * x86 show_regs() collects vendor, product and board strings and print them out with PID, comm and utsname. Some of the information is printed again later in the same dump. * warn_slowpath_common() explicitly accesses the DMI board and prints it out with "Hardware name:" label. This applies to both x86 and ia64 but is irrelevant on all other archs. * ia64 doesn't show DMI information on other non-WARN dumps. This patch introduces arch-specific hardware description used by dump_stack(). It can be set by calling dump_stack_set_arch_desc() during boot and, if exists, printed out in a separate line with "Hardware name:" label. dmi_set_dump_stack_arch_desc() is added which sets arch-specific description from DMI data. It uses dmi_ids_string[] which is set from dmi_present() used for DMI debug message. It is superset of the information x86 show_regs() is using. The function is called from x86 and ia64 boot code right after dmi_scan_machine(). This makes the explicit DMI handling in warn_slowpath_common() unnecessary. Removed. show_regs() isn't yet converted to use generic debug information printing and this patch doesn't remove the duplicate DMI handling in x86 show_regs(). The next patch will unify show_regs() handling and remove the duplication. An example WARN dump follows.

2013-04-29firmware, memmap: fix firmware_map_entry leakYasuaki Ishimatsu1-6/+3
When hot removing memory, a firmware_map_entry which has memory range of the memory is released by release_firmware_map_entry(). If the entry is allocated by bootmem, release_firmware_map_entry() adds the entry to map_entires_bootmem list when firmware_map_find_entry() finds the entry from map_entries list. But firmware_map_find_entry never find the entry sicne map_entires list does not have the entry. So the entry just leaks. Here are steps of leaking firmware_map_entry: firmware_map_remove() -> firmware_map_find_entry() Find released entry from map_entries list -> firmware_map_remove_entry() Delete the entry from map_entries list -> remove_sysfs_fw_map_entry() ... -> release_firmware_map_entry() -> firmware_map_find_entry() Find the entry from map_entries list but the entry has been deleted from map_entries list. So the entry is not added to map_entries_bootmem. Thus the entry leaks release_firmware_map_entry() should not call firmware_map_find_entry() since releaed entry has been deleted from map_entries list.

2013-04-17efivars: efivar_entry APIMatt Fleming2-723/+1107
There isn't really a formal interface for dealing with EFI variables or struct efivar_entry. Historically, this has led to various bits of code directly accessing the generic EFI variable ops, which inherently ties it to specific EFI variable operations instead of indirectly using whatever ops were registered with register_efivars(). This lead to the efivarfs code only working with the generic EFI variable ops and not CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI. Encapsulate everything that needs to access '__efivars' inside an efivar_entry_* API and use the new API in the pstore, sysfs and efivarfs code. Much of the efivars code had to be rewritten to use this new API. For instance, it is now up to the users of the API to build the initial list of EFI variables in their efivar_init() callback function. The variable list needs to be passed to efivar_init() which allows us to keep work arounds for things like implementation bugs in GetNextVariable() in a central location. Allowing users of the API to use a callback function to build the list greatly benefits the efivarfs code which needs to allocate inodes and dentries for every variable. It previously did this in a racy way because the code ran without holding the variable spinlock. Both the sysfs and efivarfs code maintain their own lists which means the two interfaces can be running simultaneously without interference, though it should be noted that because no synchronisation is performed it is very easy to create inconsistencies. efibootmgr doesn't currently use efivarfs and users are likely to also require the old sysfs interface, so it makes sense to allow both to be built.

2013-04-17efivars: Keep a private global pointer to efivarsMatt Fleming1-34/+46
Some machines have an EFI variable interface that does not conform to the UEFI specification, e.g. CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI. Add the necessary code so that it's only possible to use one implementation of EFI variable operations at runtime. This allows us to keep a single (file-scope) global pointer 'struct efivars', which simplifies access. This will hopefully dissuade developers from accessing the generic operations struct directly in the future, as was done in the efivarfs and pstore code, thereby allowing future code to work with both the generic efivar ops and the google SMI ops. This may seem like a step backwards in terms of modularity, but we don't need to track more than one 'struct efivars' at one time. There is no synchronisation done between multiple EFI variable operations, and according to Mike no one is using both the generic EFI var ops and CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI simultaneously, though a single kernel build _does_ need to able to support both. It also helps to clearly highlight which functions form the core of the efivars interface - those that require access to __efivars.

There are even implementations out there that update VariableNameSize with values that are both larger than the string returned in VariableName and smaller than the buffer passed to GetNextVariableName(), which resulted in the following bug report from Michael Schroeder, > On HP z220 system (firmware version 1.54), some EFI variables are > incorrectly named : > > ls -d /sys/firmware/efi/vars/*8be4d* | grep -v -- -8be returns > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/dbxDefault-pport8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/KEKDefault-pport8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/SecureBoot-pport8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/SetupMode-Information8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c The issue here is that because we blindly use VariableNameSize without verifying its value, we can potentially read garbage values from the buffer containing VariableName if VariableNameSize is larger than the length of VariableName. Since VariableName is a string, we can calculate its size by searching for the terminating NULL character.

2013-03-21efivars: Add module parameter to disable use as a pstore backendSeth Forshee2-1/+16
We know that with some firmware implementations writing too much data to UEFI variables can lead to bricking machines. Recent changes attempt to address this issue, but for some it may still be prudent to avoid writing large amounts of data until the solution has been proven on a wide variety of hardware. Crash dumps or other data from pstore can potentially be a large data source. Add a pstore_module parameter to efivars to allow disabling its use as a backend for pstore. Also add a config option, CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE, to allow setting the default value of this paramter to true (i.e. disabled by default).

2013-03-21efivars: Allow disabling use as a pstore backendSeth Forshee2-44/+29
Add a new option, CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE, which can be set to N to avoid using efivars as a backend to pstore, as some users may want to compile out the code completely. Set the default to Y to maintain backwards compatability, since this feature has always been enabled until now.
