Code which runs outside the kernel's normal mode of operation often does
unusual things which can cause a static analysis tool like objtool to
emit false positive warnings:
- boot image
- vdso image
- relocation
- realmode
- efi
- head
- purgatory
- modpost
Set OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD for their related files and directories,
which will tell objtool to skip checking them. It's ok to skip them
because they don't affect runtime stack traces.
Also skip the following code which does the right thing with respect to
frame pointers, but is too "special" to be validated by a tool:
- entry
- mcount
Also skip the test_nx module because it modifies its exception handling
table at runtime, which objtool can't understand. Fortunately it's
just a test module so it doesn't matter much.
Currently objtool is the only user of OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, but it
might eventually be useful for other tools.

efi_call() is a callable non-leaf function which doesn't honor
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, which can result in bad stack traces.
Create a stack frame for it when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled.

The correct symbol to use when figuring out the size of the kernel
text is '_etext', not '_end' which is the symbol for the entire kernel

Now that we have EFI memory region bits that indicate which regions do
not need execute permission or read/write permission in the page tables,
let's use them.
We also check for EFI_NX_PE_DATA and only enforce the restrictive
mappings if it's present (to allow us to ignore buggy firmware that sets
bits it didn't mean to and to preserve backwards compatibility).
Instead of assuming that firmware would set appropriate attributes in
memory descriptor like EFI_MEMORY_RO for code and EFI_MEMORY_XP for
data, we can expect some firmware out there which might only set *type*
in memory descriptor to be EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_CODE or
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA leaving away attribute. This will lead to
improper mappings of EFI runtime regions. In order to avoid it, we check
attribute and type of memory descriptor to update mappings and moreover
Windows works this way.

As part of the preparation for the EFI_MEMORY_RO flag added in the UEFI
2.5 specification, we need the ability to map pages in kernel page
tables without _PAGE_RW being set.
Modify kernel_map_pages_in_pgd() to require its callers to pass _PAGE_RW
if the pages need to be mapped read/write. Otherwise, we'll map the
pages as read-only.

Adjust efi_print_memmap to print the real end address of each
range, not 1 byte beyond. This matches other prints like those
for SRAT and nosave memory.
While investigating grub persistent memory corruption issues, it
was helpful to make this table match the ending address
convention used by:
* the kernel's e820 table prints
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000001680000000-0x0000001c7fffffff] reserved
* the kernel's nosave memory prints
PM: Registered nosave memory: [mem 0x880000000-0xc7fffffff]
* the kernel's ACPI System Resource Affinity Table prints
SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x480000000-0x87fffffff]
* grub's lsmmap and lsefimmap commands
reserved 0000001680000000-0000001c7fffffff 00600000 24GiB UC WC WT WB NV
* the UEFI shell's memmap command
Reserved 000000007FC00000-000000007FFFFFFF 0000000000000400 0000000000000001
For example, if you grep all the various logs for c7fffffff, you
won't find the kernel's line if it uses c80000000.
Also, change the closing ) to ] to match the opening [.

efi: mem61: [Persistent Memory | | | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000880000000-0x0000000c80000000) (16384MB)

Unintuitively, the BGRT graphic is apparently meant to be usable
if the valid bit in not set. The valid bit only conveys
uncertainty about the validity in relation to the screen state.
Windows 10 actually uses the BGRT image for its boot screen even
if not 'valid', for example when the user triggered the boot
menu. Because it is unclear if all firmwares will provide a
usable graphic in this case, we now look at the BMP magic number
as an additional check.

The function efi_query_variable_store() may be invoked by
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking(), which itself takes care to only
call a non-blocking version of the SetVariable() runtime
wrapper. However, efi_query_variable_store() may call the
SetVariable() wrapper directly, as well as the wrapper for
QueryVariableInfo(), both of which could deadlock in the same
way we are trying to prevent by calling
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking() in the first place.
So instead, modify efi_query_variable_store() to use the
non-blocking variants of QueryVariableInfo() (and give up rather
than free up space if the available space is below
EFI_MIN_RESERVE) if invoked with the 'nonblocking' argument set
to true.

The switch to using a new dedicated page table for EFI runtime
calls in commit commit 67a9108ed431 ("x86/efi: Build our own
page table structures") failed to take into account changes
required for the kexec code paths, which are unfortunately
duplicated in the EFI code.
Call the allocation and setup functions in
kexec_enter_virtual_mode() just like we do for
__efi_enter_virtual_mode() to avoid hitting NULL-pointer
dereferences when making EFI runtime calls.
At the very least, the call to efi_setup_page_tables() should
have existed for kexec before the following commit:
67a9108ed431 ("x86/efi: Build our own page table structures")
Things just magically worked because we were actually using
the kernel's page tables that contained the required mappings.

Commit a5d90c923bcf ("x86/efi: Quirk out SGI UV") added a quirk
to efi_apply_memmap_quirks to force SGI UV systems to fall back
to the old EFI memmap mechanism. We have a BIOS fix for this
issue on all systems except for UV1. This commit fixes up the
EFI quirk/MMR mapping code so that we only apply the special
case to UV1 hardware.

early_memremap() has an upper limit on the size of mapping it can
handle which is ~200KB. Clearly the BGRT image on Môshe's machine is
much larger than that.
There's actually no reason to restrict ourselves to using the early_*
version of memremap() - the ACPI BGRT driver is invoked late enough in
boot that we can use the standard version, with the benefit that the
late version allows mappings of arbitrary size.

Starting with this commit 35eb8b81edd4 ("x86/efi: Build our own page
table structures") efi regions have a separate page directory called
"efi_pgd". In order to access any efi region we have to first shift %cr3
to this page table. In the bgrt code we are trying to copy bgrt_header
and image, but these regions fall under "EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA"
and to access these regions we have to shift %cr3 to efi_pgd and not
doing so will cause page fault as shown below.

As said above one way to fix this bug is to shift %cr3 to efi_pgd but we
are not doing that way because it leaks inner details of how we switch
to EFI page tables into a new call site and it also adds duplicate code.
Instead, we remove the call to efi_lookup_mapped_addr() and always
perform early_mem*() instead of early_io*() because we want to remap RAM
regions and not I/O regions. We also delete efi_lookup_mapped_addr()
because we are no longer using it.

The pr_*() calls in the x86 EFI code may or may not include a
subsystem tag, which makes it difficult to grep the kernel log for all
relevant EFI messages and leads users to miss important information.
Recently, a bug reporter provided all the EFI print messages from the
kernel log when trying to diagnose an issue but missed the following
statement because it wasn't prefixed with anything indicating it was
related to EFI,
pr_err("Error ident-mapping new memmap (0x%lx)!\n", pa_memmap);

With commit e1a58320a38d ("x86/mm: Warn on W^X mappings") all
users booting on 64-bit UEFI machines see the following warning,
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1 at arch/x86/mm/dump_pagetables.c:225 note_page+0x5dc/0x780()
x86/mm: Found insecure W+X mapping at address ffff88000005f000/0xffff88000005f000
...
x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, 165660 W+X pages found.
...
This is caused by mapping EFI regions with RWX permissions.
There isn't much we can do to restrict the permissions for these
regions due to the way the firmware toolchains mix code and
data, but we can at least isolate these mappings so that they do
not appear in the regular kernel page tables.
In commit d2f7cbe7b26a ("x86/efi: Runtime services virtual
mapping") we started using 'trampoline_pgd' to map the EFI
regions because there was an existing identity mapping there
which we use during the SetVirtualAddressMap() call and for
broken firmware that accesses those addresses.
But 'trampoline_pgd' shares some PGD entries with
'swapper_pg_dir' and does not provide the isolation we require.
Notably the virtual address for __START_KERNEL_map and
MODULES_START are mapped by the same PGD entry so we need to be
more careful when copying changes over in
efi_sync_low_kernel_mappings().
This patch doesn't go the full mile, we still want to share some
PGD entries with 'swapper_pg_dir'. Having completely separate
page tables brings its own issues such as synchronising new
mappings after memory hotplug and module loading. Sharing also
keeps memory usage down.

This change is a prerequisite for pending patches that switch to
a dedicated EFI page table, instead of using 'trampoline_pgd'
which shares PGD entries with 'swapper_pg_dir'. The pending
patches make it impossible to dereference the runtime service
function pointer without first switching %cr3.
It's true that we now have duplicated switching code in
efi_call_virt() and efi_call_phys_{prolog,epilog}() but we are
sacrificing code duplication for a little more clarity and the
ease of writing the page table switching code in C instead of
asm.

We are relying on the pre-existing mappings in 'trampoline_pgd'
when accessing function arguments in the EFI mixed mode thunking
code.
Instead let's map memory explicitly so that things will continue
to work when we move to a separate page table in the future.

The x86 pageattr code is confused about the data that is stored
in cpa->pfn, sometimes it's treated as a page frame number,
sometimes it's treated as an unshifted physical address, and in
one place it's treated as a pte.
The result of this is that the mapping functions do not map the
intended physical address.
This isn't a problem in practice because most of the addresses
we're mapping in the EFI code paths are already mapped in
'trampoline_pgd' and so the pageattr mapping functions don't
actually do anything in this case. But when we move to using a
separate page table for the EFI runtime this will be an issue.

We have been getting away with using a void* for the physical
address of the UEFI memory map, since, even on 32-bit platforms
with 64-bit physical addresses, no truncation takes place if the
memory map has been allocated by the firmware (which only uses
1:1 virtually addressable memory), which is usually the case.
However, commit:
0f96a99dab36 ("efi: Add "efi_fake_mem" boot option")
adds code that clones and modifies the UEFI memory map, and the
clone may live above 4 GB on 32-bit platforms.
This means our use of void* for struct efi_memory_map::phys_map has
graduated from 'incorrect but working' to 'incorrect and
broken', and we need to fix it.
So redefine struct efi_memory_map::phys_map as phys_addr_t, and
get rid of a bunch of casts that are now unneeded.

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")

instead of top-down
Beginning with UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE was introduced
that signals that the firmware PE/COFF loader supports splitting
code and data sections of PE/COFF images into separate EFI
memory map entries. This allows the kernel to map those regions
with strict memory protections, e.g. EFI_MEMORY_RO for code,
EFI_MEMORY_XP for data, etc.
Unfortunately, an unwritten requirement of this new feature is
that the regions need to be mapped with the same offsets
relative to each other as observed in the EFI memory map. If
this is not done crashes like this may occur,
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffefe6086dd
IP: [<fffffffefe6086dd>] 0xfffffffefe6086dd
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff8104c90e>] efi_call+0x7e/0x100

[<ffffffff81f37495>] x86_64_start_reservations+0x2a/0x2c
[<ffffffff81f37582>] x86_64_start_kernel+0xeb/0xef
Here 0xfffffffefe6086dd refers to an address the firmware
expects to be mapped but which the OS never claimed was mapped.
The issue is that included in these regions are relative
addresses to other regions which were emitted by the firmware
toolchain before the "splitting" of sections occurred at
runtime.
Needless to say, we don't satisfy this unwritten requirement on
x86_64 and instead map the EFI memory map entries in reverse
order. The above crash is almost certainly triggerable with any
kernel newer than v3.13 because that's when we rewrote the EFI
runtime region mapping code, in commit d2f7cbe7b26a ("x86/efi:
Runtime services virtual mapping"). For kernel versions before
v3.13 things may work by pure luck depending on the
fragmentation of the kernel virtual address space at the time we
map the EFI regions.
Instead of mapping the EFI memory map entries in reverse order,
where entry N has a higher virtual address than entry N+1, map
them in the same order as they appear in the EFI memory map to
preserve this relative offset between regions.
This patch has been kept as small as possible with the intention
that it should be applied aggressively to stable and
distribution kernels. It is very much a bugfix rather than
support for a new feature, since when EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE is
enabled we must map things as outlined above to even boot - we
have no way of asking the firmware not to split the code/data
regions.
In fact, this patch doesn't even make use of the more strict
memory protections available in UEFI v2.5. That will come later.

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.

x86 and ia64 implement efi_mem_attributes() differently. This
function needs to be available for other architectures
(such as arm64) as well, such as for the purpose of ACPI/APEI.
ia64 EFI does not set up a 'memmap' variable and does not set
the EFI_MEMMAP flag, so it needs to have its unique implementation
of efi_mem_attributes().
Move efi_mem_attributes() implementation from x86 to the core
EFI code, and declare it with __weak.
It is recommended that other architectures should not override
the default implementation.

It's totally legitimate, per the ACPI spec, for the firmware to
set the BGRT 'status' field to zero to indicate that the BGRT
image isn't being displayed, and we shouldn't be printing an
error message in that case because it's just noise for users. So
swap pr_err() for pr_debug().
However, Josh points that out it still makes sense to test the
validity of the upper 7 bits of the 'status' field, since
they're marked as "reserved" in the spec and must be zero. If
firmware violates this it really *is* an error.

zero-length string.
Thus, verify that the pointer to the parameter string is not NULL. This is
consistent with other parameter-parsing functions which check for NULL pointers.

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.

UEFI GetMemoryMap() uses a new attribute bit to mark mirrored memory
address ranges. See UEFI 2.5 spec pages 157-158:
http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI%202_5.pdf
On EFI enabled systems scan the memory map and tell memblock about any
mirrored ranges.

ACPI 6.0 formalizes e820-type-7 and efi-type-14 as persistent memory.
Mark it "reserved" and allow it to be claimed by a persistent memory
device driver.
This definition is in addition to the Linux kernel's existing type-12
definition that was recently added in support of shipping platforms with
NVDIMM support that predate ACPI 6.0 (which now classifies type-12 as
OEM reserved).
Note, /proc/iomem can be consulted for differentiating legacy
"Persistent Memory (legacy)" E820_PRAM vs standard "Persistent Memory"
E820_PMEM.

Add sysfs files for the EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) under
/sys/firmware/efi/esrt and for each EFI System Resource Entry under
entries/ as a subdir.
The EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) provides a read-only catalog of
system components for which the system accepts firmware upgrades via
UEFI's "Capsule Update" feature. This module allows userland utilities
to evaluate what firmware updates can be applied to this system, and
potentially arrange for those updates to occur.
The ESRT is described as part of the UEFI specification, in version 2.5
which should be available from http://uefi.org/specifications in early
2015. If you're a member of the UEFI Forum, information about its
addition to the standard is available as UEFI Mantis 1090.
For some hardware platforms, additional restrictions may be found at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/jj128256.aspx ,
and additional documentation may be found at

Currently x86-64 efi_call_phys_prolog() saves into a global variable (save_pgd),
and efi_call_phys_epilog() restores the kernel pagetables from that global
variable.
Change this to a cleaner save/restore pattern where the saving function returns
the saved object and the restore function restores that.
Apply the same concept to the 32-bit code as well.
Plus this approach, as an added bonus, allows us to express the
!efi_enabled(EFI_OLD_MEMMAP) situation in a clean fashion as well,
via a 'NULL' return value.

Tapasweni Pathak reported that we do a kmalloc() in efi_call_phys_prolog()
on x86-64 while having interrupts disabled, which is a big no-no, as
kmalloc() can sleep.
Solve this by removing the irq disabling from the prolog/epilog calls
around EFI calls: it's unnecessary, as in this stage we are single
threaded in the boot thread, and we don't ever execute this from
interrupt contexts.

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.

In commit 3891a04aafd6 ("x86-64, espfix: Don't leak bits 31:16 of %esp
returning..") the "ESPFix Area" was added to the page table dump special
sections. That area, though, has a limited amount of entries printed.
The EFI runtime services are, unfortunately, located in-between the
espfix area and the high kernel memory mapping. Due to the enforced
limitation for the espfix area, the EFI mappings won't be printed in the
page table dump.
To make the ESP runtime service mappings visible again, provide them a
dedicated entry.

The 32 bit and 64 bit implementations differ in their __init annotations
for some functions referenced from the common EFI code. Namely, the 32
bit variant is missing some of the __init annotations the 64 bit variant
has.
To solve the colliding annotations, mark the corresponding functions in
efi_32.c as initialization code, too -- as it is such.
Actually, quite a few more functions are only used during initialization
and therefore can be marked __init. They are therefore annotated, too.
Also add the __init annotation to the prototypes in the efi.h header so
users of those functions will see it's meant as initialization code
only.
This patch also fixes the "prelog" typo. ("prologue" / "epilogue" might
be more appropriate but this is C code after all, not an opera! :D)

Both the type enum and the attribute bitmap are decoded, with the
additional benefit that the memory ranges line up as well.

If enter virtual mode failed due to some reason other than the efi call
the EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES bit in efi.flags should be cleared thus users
of efi runtime services can check the bit and handle the case instead of
assume efi runtime is ok.
Per Matt, if efi call SetVirtualAddressMap fails we will be not sure
it's safe to make any assumptions about the state of the system. So
kernel panics instead of clears EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES bit.

noefi kernel param means actually disabling efi runtime, Per suggestion
from Leif Lindholm efi=noruntime should be better. But since noefi is
already used in X86 thus just adding another param efi=noruntime for
same purpose.

There should be a generic function to parse params like a=b,c
Adding parse_option_str in lib/cmdline.c which will return true
if there's specified option set in the params.
Also updated efi=old_map parsing code to use the new function

noefi param can be used for arches other than X86 later, thus move it
out of x86 platform code.

Gracefully handle failures to allocate memory for the image, which might
be arbitrarily large.
efi_bgrt_init can fail in various ways as well, usually because the
BIOS-provided BGRT structure does not match expectations. Add
appropriate error messages rather than failing silently.

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.
