When allocating memory for the copy of the FDT that the stub
modifies and passes to the kernel, it uses the current size as
an estimate of how much memory to allocate, and increases it page
by page if it turns out to be too small. However, when loading
the FDT from a UEFI configuration table, the estimated size is
left at its default value of zero, and the allocation loop runs
starting from zero all the way up to the allocation size that
finally fits the updated FDT.
Instead, retrieve the size of the FDT from the FDT header when
loading it from the UEFI config table.

Pull EFI fix from Matt Fleming:
- Fix integer overflow issue in the DMI SMBIOS 3.0 code when
calculating the number of DMI table entries. (Jean Delvare)
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

dmi_num is a u16, dmi_len is a u32, so this construct:
dmi_num = dmi_len / 4;
would result in an integer overflow for a DMI table larger than
256 kB. I've never see such a large table so far, but SMBIOS 3.0
makes it possible so maybe we'll see such tables in the future.
So instead of faking a structure count when the entry point does
not provide it, adjust the loop condition in dmi_table() to properly
deal with the case where dmi_num is not set.
This bug was introduced with the initial SMBIOS 3.0 support in commit
fc43026278b2 ("dmi: add support for SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point").

There is no reason to pass static vars to function that can use
only them.
The dmi_table() can use only dmi_len and dmi_num static vars, so use
them directly. In this case we can freely change their type in one
place and slightly decrease redundancy.

New SMBIOS3 spec adds additional field for versioning - docrev.
The docrev identifies the revision of a specification implemented in
the table structures, so display SMBIOSv3 versions in format,
like "3.22.1".
In case of only 32 bit entry point for versions > 3 display
dmi version like "3.22.x" as we don't know the docrev.
In other cases display version like it was.

According to SMBIOSv3 specification the length of DMI table can be
up to 32bits wide. So use appropriate type to avoid overflow.
It's obvious that dmi_num theoretically can be more than u16 also,
so it's can be changed to u32 or at least it's better to use int
instead of u16, but on that moment I cannot imagine dmi structure
count more than 65535 and it can require changing type of vars that
work with it. So I didn't correct it.

While adding support loading kernel and initrd above 4G to grub2 in legacy
mode, I was referring to efi_high_alloc().
That will allocate buffer for kernel and then initrd, and initrd will
use kernel buffer start as limit.
During testing found two buffers will be overlapped when initrd size is
very big like 400M.
It turns out efi_high_alloc() boundary checking is not right.
end - size will be the new start, and should not compare new
start with max, we need to make sure end is smaller than max.
[ Basically, with the current efi_high_alloc() code it's possible to
allocate memory above 'max', because efi_high_alloc() doesn't check
that the tail of the allocation is below 'max'.
If you have an EFI memory map with a single entry that looks like so,
[0xc0000000-0xc0004000]
And want to allocate 0x3000 bytes below 0xc0003000 the current code
will allocate [0xc0001000-0xc0004000], not [0xc0000000-0xc0003000]
like you would expect. - Matt ]

The dmi-sysfs should create "End of Table" entry, that is type 127. But
after adding initial SMBIOS v3 support fc43026278b2 ("dmi: add support
for SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point") the 127-0 entry is not handled any
more, as result it's not created in dmi sysfs for instance. This is
important because the size of whole DMI table must correspond to sum of
all DMI entry sizes.
So move the end-of-table check after it's handled by dmi_table.

This reverts commit d1a8d66b9177105e898e73716f97eb61842c457a.
Ard reported a boot failure when running UEFI under Qemu and Xen and
experimenting with various Tianocore build options,
"As it turns out, when allocating room for the UEFI memory map using
UEFI's AllocatePool (), it may result in two new memory map entries
being created, for instance, when using Tianocore's preallocated region
feature. For example, the following region
0x00005ead5000-0x00005ebfffff [Conventional Memory| | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]
may be split like this
0x00005ead5000-0x00005eae2fff [Conventional Memory| | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]
0x00005eae3000-0x00005eae4fff [Loader Data | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]
0x00005eae5000-0x00005ebfffff [Conventional Memory| | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]
if the preallocated Loader Data region was chosen to be right in the
middle of the original free space.
After patch d1a8d66b9177 ("efi/libstub: Call get_memory_map() to
obtain map and desc sizes"), this is not being dealt with correctly
anymore, as the existing logic to allocate room for a single additional
entry has become insufficient."
Mark requested to reinstate the old loop we had before commit
d1a8d66b9177, which grows the memory map buffer until it's big enough to
hold the EFI memory map.

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.

Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan) is a dynamic memory error detector. It
provides fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and
out-of-bounds bugs.
KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access,
therefore GCC > v4.9.2 required. v4.9.2 almost works, but has issues with
putting symbol aliases into the wrong section, which breaks kasan
instrumentation of globals.
This patch only adds infrastructure for kernel address sanitizer. It's
not available for use yet. The idea and some code was borrowed from [1].
Basic idea:
The main idea of KASAN is to use shadow memory to record whether each byte
of memory is safe to access or not, and use compiler's instrumentation to
check the shadow memory on each memory access.
Address sanitizer uses 1/8 of the memory addressable in kernel for shadow
memory and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to translate a
memory address to its corresponding shadow address.
Here is function to translate address to corresponding shadow address:
unsigned long kasan_mem_to_shadow(unsigned long addr)
{
return (addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
}
where KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3.
So for every 8 bytes there is one corresponding byte of shadow memory.
The following encoding used for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes
of the corresponding memory region are valid for access; k (1 <= k <= 7)
means that the first k bytes are valid for access, and other (8 - k) bytes
are not; Any negative value indicates that the entire 8-bytes are
inaccessible. Different negative values used to distinguish between
different kinds of inaccessible memory (redzones, freed memory) (see
mm/kasan/kasan.h).
To be able to detect accesses to bad memory we need a special compiler.
Such compiler inserts a specific function calls (__asan_load*(addr),
__asan_store*(addr)) before each memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16.
These functions check whether memory region is valid to access or not by
checking corresponding shadow memory. If access is not valid an error
printed.
Historical background of the address sanitizer from Dmitry Vyukov:
"We've developed the set of tools, AddressSanitizer (Asan),
ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer, for user space. We actively use
them for testing inside of Google (continuous testing, fuzzing,
running prod services). To date the tools have found more than 10'000
scary bugs in Chromium, Google internal codebase and various
open-source projects (Firefox, OpenSSL, gcc, clang, ffmpeg, MySQL and
lots of others): [2] [3] [4].
The tools are part of both gcc and clang compilers.
We have not yet done massive testing under the Kernel AddressSanitizer
(it's kind of chicken and egg problem, you need it to be upstream to
start applying it extensively). To date it has found about 50 bugs.
Bugs that we've found in upstream kernel are listed in [5].
We've also found ~20 bugs in out internal version of the kernel. Also
people from Samsung and Oracle have found some.
[...]
As others noted, the main feature of AddressSanitizer is its
performance due to inline compiler instrumentation and simple linear
shadow memory. User-space Asan has ~2x slowdown on computational
programs and ~2x memory consumption increase. Taking into account that
kernel usually consumes only small fraction of CPU and memory when
running real user-space programs, I would expect that kernel Asan will
have ~10-30% slowdown and similar memory consumption increase (when we
finish all tuning).
I agree that Asan can well replace kmemcheck. We have plans to start
working on Kernel MemorySanitizer that finds uses of unitialized
memory. Asan+Msan will provide feature-parity with kmemcheck. As
others noted, Asan will unlikely replace debug slab and pagealloc that
can be enabled at runtime. Asan uses compiler instrumentation, so even
if it is disabled, it still incurs visible overheads.
Asan technology is easily portable to other architectures. Compiler
instrumentation is fully portable. Runtime has some arch-dependent
parts like shadow mapping and atomic operation interception. They are
relatively easy to port."
Comparison with other debugging features:
========================================
KMEMCHECK:
- KASan can do almost everything that kmemcheck can. KASan uses
compile-time instrumentation, which makes it significantly faster than
kmemcheck. The only advantage of kmemcheck over KASan is detection of
uninitialized memory reads.
Some brief performance testing showed that kasan could be
x500-x600 times faster than kmemcheck:
$ netperf -l 30
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 0 AF_INET
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
no debug: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 41624.72
kasan inline: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 12870.54
kasan outline: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 10586.39
kmemcheck: 87380 16384 16384 30.03 20.23
- Also kmemcheck couldn't work on several CPUs. It always sets
number of CPUs to 1. KASan doesn't have such limitation.
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:
- KASan is slower than DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but KASan works on sub-page
granularity level, so it able to find more bugs.
SLUB_DEBUG (poisoning, redzones):
- SLUB_DEBUG has lower overhead than KASan.
- SLUB_DEBUG in most cases are not able to detect bad reads,
KASan able to detect both reads and writes.
- In some cases (e.g. redzone overwritten) SLUB_DEBUG detect
bugs only on allocation/freeing of object. KASan catch
bugs right before it will happen, so we always know exact
place of first bad read/write.

This fixes two minor issues in the implementation of get_memory_map():
- Currently, it assumes that sizeof(efi_memory_desc_t) == desc_size,
which is usually true, but not mandated by the spec. (This was added
intentionally to allow future additions to the definition of
efi_memory_desc_t). The way the loop is implemented currently, the
added slack space may be insufficient if desc_size is larger, which in
some corner cases could result in the loop never terminating.
- It allocates 32 efi_memory_desc_t entries first (again, using the size
of the struct instead of desc_size), and frees and reallocates if it
turns out to be insufficient. Few implementations of UEFI have such small
memory maps, which results in a unnecessary allocate/free pair on each
invocation.
Fix this by calling the get_memory_map() boot service first with a '0'
input value for map size to retrieve the map size and desc size from the
firmware and only then perform the allocation, using desc_size rather
than sizeof(efi_memory_desc_t).

This ensures all stub component are freed when the kernel proper is
done booting, by prefixing the names of all ELF sections that have
the SHF_ALLOC attribute with ".init". This approach ensures that even
implicitly emitted allocated data (like initializer values and string
literals) are covered.
At the same time, remove some __init annotations in the stub that have
now become redundant, and add the __init annotation to handle_kernel_image
which will now trigger a section mismatch warning without it.

In order to support kexec, the kernel needs to be able to deal with the
state of the UEFI firmware after SetVirtualAddressMap() has been called.
To avoid having separate code paths for non-kexec and kexec, let's move
the call to SetVirtualAddressMap() to the stub: this will guarantee us
that it will only be called once (since the stub is not executed during
kexec), and ensures that the UEFI state is identical between kexec and
normal boot.
This implies that the layout of the virtual mapping needs to be created
by the stub as well. All regions are rounded up to a naturally aligned
multiple of 64 KB (for compatibility with 64k pages kernels) and recorded
in the UEFI memory map. The kernel proper reads those values and installs
the mappings in a dedicated set of page tables that are swapped in during
UEFI Runtime Services calls.

In some cases (e.g. Intel Bay Trail machines), the kernel will happily
run in 64-bit even if the underlying UEFI firmware platform is
32-bit. That's great, but it's difficult for userland utilities like
grub-install to do the right thing in such a situation.
The kernel already knows about the size of the firmware via
efi_enabled(EFI_64BIT). Add an extra sysfs interface
/sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size to expose that information to
userland for low-level utilities to use.

On systems with 64 KB pages, it is preferable for UEFI memory map

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.

In the absence of a DTB configuration table, the EFI stub will happily
continue attempting to boot a kernel, despite the fact that this kernel
may not function without a description of the hardware. In this case, as
with a typo'd "dtb=" option (e.g. "dbt=") or many other possible
failures, the only output seen by the user will be the rather terse
output from the EFI stub:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
To aid those attempting to debug such failures, this patch adds a notice
when no DTB is found, making the output more helpful:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Generating empty DTB
Additionally, a positive acknowledgement is added when a user-specified
DTB is in use:

The DMTF SMBIOS reference spec v3.0.0 defines a new 64-bit entry point,
which enables support for SMBIOS structure tables residing at a physical
offset over 4 GB. This is especially important for upcoming arm64
platforms whose system RAM resides entirely above the 4 GB boundary.
For the UEFI case, this code attempts to detect the new SMBIOS 3.0
header magic at the offset passed in the SMBIOS3_TABLE_GUID UEFI
configuration table. If this configuration table is not provided, or
if we fail to parse the header, we fall back to using the legacy
SMBIOS_TABLE_GUID configuration table. This is in line with the spec,
that allows both configuration tables to be provided, but mandates that
they must point to the same structure table, unless the version pointed
to by the 64-bit entry point is a superset of the 32-bit one.
For the non-UEFI case, the detection logic is modified to look for the
SMBIOS 3.0 header magic before it looks for the legacy header magic.
Note that this patch is based on version 3.0.0d [draft] of the
specification, which is expected not to deviate from the final version
in ways that would affect the correctness of this implementation.

This adds support to the UEFI side for detecting the presence of
a SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point. This allows the actual SMBIOS
structure table to reside at a physical offset over 4 GB, which
cannot be supported by the legacy SMBIOS 32-bit entry point.
Since the firmware can legally provide both entry points, store
the SMBIOS 3.0 entry point in a separate variable, and let the
DMI decoding layer decide which one will be used.

By the following commits, we prevented from allocating firmware_map_entry
of same memory range:
f0093ede: drivers/firmware/memmap.c: don't allocate firmware_map_entry
of same memory range
49c8b24d: drivers/firmware/memmap.c: pass the correct argument to
firmware_map_find_entry_bootmem()
But it's not enough. When PNP0C80 device is added by acpi_scan_init(),
memmap sysfses of same firmware_map_entry are created twice as follows:
# cat /sys/firmware/memmap/*/start
0x40000000000
0x60000000000
0x4a837000
0x4a83a000
0x4a8b5000
...
0x40000000000
0x60000000000
...
The flows of the issues are as follows:
1. e820_reserve_resources() allocates firmware_map_entrys of all
memory ranges defined in e820. And, these firmware_map_entrys
are linked with map_entries list.
map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N
2. When PNP0C80 device is limited by mem= boot option, acpi_scan_init()
added the memory device. In this case, firmware_map_add_hotplug()
allocates firmware_map_entry and creates memmap sysfs.
map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N -> entry N+1
|
memmap 1
3. firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of firmware_map_entrys
linked with map_entries.
map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N -> entry N+1
| | |
memmap 2 memmap N+1 memmap 1
memmap N+2
So while hot removing the PNP0C80 device, kernel panic occurs as follows:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000001003e000b

commit 5dc3826d9f08 ("efi: Implement mandatory locking for UEFI Runtime
Services") implemented some conditional locking when accessing variable
runtime services that Ingo described as "pretty disgusting".
The intention with the !efi_in_nmi() checks was to avoid live-locks when
trying to write pstore crash data into an EFI variable. Such lockless
accesses are allowed according to the UEFI specification when we're in a
"non-recoverable" state, but whether or not things are implemented
correctly in actual firmware implementations remains an unanswered
question, and so it would seem sensible to avoid doing any kind of
unsynchronized variable accesses.
Furthermore, the efi_in_nmi() tests are inadequate because they don't
account for the case where we call EFI variable services from panic or
oops callbacks and aren't executing in NMI context. In other words,
live-locking is still possible.
Let's just remove the conditional locking altogether. Now we've got the
->set_variable_nonblocking() EFI variable operation we can abort if the
runtime lock is already held. Aborting is by far the safest option.

There are some circumstances that call for trying to write an EFI
variable in a non-blocking way. One such scenario is when writing pstore
data in efi_pstore_write() via the pstore_dump() kdump callback.
Now that we have an EFI runtime spinlock we need a way of aborting if
there is contention instead of spinning, since when writing pstore data
from the kdump callback, the runtime lock may already be held by the CPU
that's running the callback if we crashed in the middle of an EFI
variable operation.
The situation is sufficiently special that a new EFI variable operation
is warranted.
Introduce ->set_variable_nonblocking() for this use case. It is an
optional EFI backend operation, and need only be implemented by those
backends that usually acquire locks to serialize access to EFI
variables, as is the case for virt_efi_set_variable() where we now grab
the EFI runtime spinlock.

It is a really bad idea to declare variables or parameters that
have the same name as common types. It is valid C, but it gets
surprising if a macro expansion attempts to declare an inner
local with that type. Change the local names to eliminate the
hazard.
Change s16 => str16, s8 => str8.
This resolves warnings seen when using W=2 during make, for instance:

At the moment, there are three architectures debug-printing the EFI memory
map at initialization: x86, ia64, and arm64. They all use different format
strings, plus the EFI memory type and the EFI memory attributes are
similarly hard to decode for a human reader.
Introduce a helper __init function that formats the memory type and the
memory attributes in a unified way, to a user-provided character buffer.
The array "memory_type_name" is copied from the arm64 code, temporarily
duplicating it. The (otherwise optional) braces around each string literal
in the initializer list are dropped in order to match the kernel coding
style more closely. The element size is tightened from 32 to 20 bytes
(maximum actual string length + 1) so that we can derive the field width
from the element size.

We need a way to customize the behaviour of the EFI boot stub, in
particular, we need a way to disable the "chunking" workaround, used
when reading files from the EFI System Partition.
One of my machines doesn't cope well when reading files in 1MB chunks to
a buffer above the 4GB mark - it appears that the "chunking" bug
workaround triggers another firmware bug. This was only discovered with
commit 4bf7111f5016 ("x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G"), and
that commit is perfectly valid. The symptom I observed was a corrupt
initrd rather than any kind of crash.
efi= is now used to specify EFI parameters in two very different
execution environments, the EFI boot stub and during kernel boot.
There is also a slight performance optimization by enabling efi=nochunk,
but that's offset by the fact that you're more likely to run into
firmware issues, at least on x86. This is the rationale behind leaving
the workaround enabled by default.
Also provide some documentation for EFI_READ_CHUNK_SIZE and why we're
using the current value of 1MB.

According to section 7.1 of the UEFI spec, Runtime Services are not fully
reentrant, and there are particular combinations of calls that need to be
serialized. Use a spinlock to serialize all Runtime Services with respect
to all others, even if this is more than strictly needed.
We've managed to get away without requiring a runtime services lock
until now because most of the interactions with EFI involve EFI
variables, and those operations are already serialised with
__efivars->lock.
Some of the assumptions underlying the decision whether locks are
needed or not (e.g., SetVariable() against ResetSystem()) may not
apply universally to all [new] architectures that implement UEFI.
Rather than try to reason our way out of this, let's just implement at
least what the spec requires in terms of locking.

This reverts commit f23cf8bd5c1f ("efi/x86: efistub: Move shared
dependencies to <asm/efi.h>") as well as the x86 parts of commit
f4f75ad5741f ("efi: efistub: Convert into static library").
The road leading to these two reverts is long and winding.
The above two commits were merged during the v3.17 merge window and
turned the common EFI boot stub code into a static library. This
necessitated making some symbols global in the x86 boot stub which
introduced new entries into the early boot GOT.
The problem was that we weren't fixing up the newly created GOT entries
before invoking the EFI boot stub, which sometimes resulted in hangs or
resets. This failure was reported by Maarten on his Macbook pro.
The proposed fix was commit 9cb0e394234d ("x86/efi: Fixup GOT in all
boot code paths"). However, that caused issues for Linus when booting
his Sony Vaio Pro 11. It was subsequently reverted in commit
f3670394c29f.
So that leaves us back with Maarten's Macbook pro not booting.
At this stage in the release cycle the least risky option is to revert
the x86 EFI boot stub to the pre-merge window code structure where we
explicitly #include efi-stub-helper.c instead of linking with the static
library. The arm64 code remains unaffected.
We can take another swing at the x86 parts for v3.18.

Commit 86c8b27a01cf:
"arm64: ignore DT memreserve entries when booting in UEFI mode
prevents early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() from being called for
arm64 kernels booting via UEFI. This was done because the kernel
will use the UEFI memory map to determine reserved memory regions.
That approach has problems in that early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem()
also reserves the FDT itself and any node-specific reserved memory.
By chance of some kernel configs, the FDT may be overwritten before
it can be unflattened and the kernel will fail to boot. More subtle
problems will result if the FDT has node specific reserved memory
which is not really reserved.
This patch has the UEFI stub remove the memory reserve map entries
from the FDT as it does with the memory nodes. This allows
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() to be called unconditionally
so that the other needed reservations are made.
