2013-09-30x86 efi: bugfix interrupt disabling sequenceBart Kuivenhoven
The problem in efi_main was that the idt was cleared before the interrupts were disabled. The UEFI spec states that interrupts aren't used so this shouldn't be too much of a problem. Peripherals however don't necessarily know about this and thus might cause interrupts to happen anyway. Even if ExitBootServices() has been called. This means there is a risk of an interrupt being triggered while the IDT register is nullified and the interrupt bit hasn't been cleared, allowing for a triple fault. This patch disables the interrupt flag, while leaving the existing IDT in place. The CPU won't care about the IDT at all as long as the interrupt bit is off, so it's safe to leave it in place as nothing will ever happen to it.

2013-09-30x86: EFI stub support for large memory mapsLinn Crosetto
This patch fixes a problem with EFI memory maps larger than 128 entries when booting using the EFI stub, which results in overflowing e820_map in boot_params and an eventual halt when checking the map size in sanitize_e820_map(). If the number of map entries is greater than what can fit in e820_map, add the extra entries to the setup_data list using type SETUP_E820_EXT. These extra entries are then picked up when the setup_data list is parsed in parse_e820_ext(). Signed-off-by: Linn Crosetto <linn@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
2013-09-26x86, build: move build output statistics away from stderrKees Cook
When building on x86, the final image building step always emits stats to stderr, even though this information is neither a warning nor an error: BUILD arch/x86/boot/bzImage Setup is 16188 bytes (padded to 16384 bytes). System is 6368 kB CRC cbe50c61 Validating automated builds would be cleaner if stderr did not have to filter out these lines. Instead, change how tools/build is called, and make the zoffset header unconditional, and write to a specified file instead of to stdout, which can then be used for statistics, leaving stderr open for legitimate warnings and errors, like the output from die().

2013-09-25efi: Generalize handle_ramdisks() and rename to handle_cmdline_files().Roy Franz
The handle_cmdline_files now takes the option to handle as a string, and returns the loaded data through parameters, rather than taking an x86 specific setup_header structure.

2013-09-25efi: Add system table pointer argument to shared functions.Roy Franz
Add system table pointer argument to shared EFI stub related functions so they no longer use a global system table pointer as they did when part of eboot.c. For the ARM EFI stub this allows us to avoid global variables completely and thereby not have to deal with GOT fixups. Not having the EFI stub fixup its GOT, which is shared with the decompressor, simplifies the relocating of the zImage to a bootable address.

2013-06-11x86, efi: retry ExitBootServices() on failureZach Bobroff
ExitBootServices is absolutely supposed to return a failure if any ExitBootServices event handler changes the memory map. Basically the get_map loop should run again if ExitBootServices returns an error the first time. I would say it would be fair that if ExitBootServices gives an error the second time then Linux would be fine in returning control back to BIOS. The second change is the following line: again: size += sizeof(*mem_map) * 2; Originally you were incrementing it by the size of one memory map entry. The issue here is all related to the low_alloc routine you are using. In this routine you are making allocations to get the memory map itself. Doing this allocation or allocations can affect the memory map by more than one record.

2013-06-10Modify UEFI anti-bricking codeMatthew Garrett
This patch reworks the UEFI anti-bricking code, including an effective reversion of cc5a080c and 31ff2f20. It turns out that calling QueryVariableInfo() from boot services results in some firmware implementations jumping to physical addresses even after entering virtual mode, so until we have 1:1 mappings for UEFI runtime space this isn't going to work so well. Reverting these gets us back to the situation where we'd refuse to create variables on some systems because they classify deleted variables as "used" until the firmware triggers a garbage collection run, which they won't do until they reach a lower threshold. This results in it being impossible to install a bootloader, which is unhelpful. Feedback from Samsung indicates that the firmware doesn't need more than 5KB of storage space for its own purposes, so that seems like a reasonable threshold. However, there's still no guarantee that a platform will attempt garbage collection merely because it drops below this threshold. It seems that this is often only triggered if an attempt to write generates a genuine EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error. We can force that by attempting to create a variable larger than the remaining space. This should fail, but if it somehow succeeds we can then immediately delete it. I've tested this on the UEFI machines I have available, but I don't have a Samsung and so can't verify that it avoids the bricking problem.

We need to check the runtime sys_table for the EFI version the firmware specifies instead of just checking for a NULL QueryVariableInfo. Older implementations of EFI don't have QueryVariableInfo but the runtime is a smaller structure, so the pointer to it may be pointing off into garbage.

2013-04-15efi: Pass boot services variable info to runtime codeMatthew Garrett
EFI variables can be flagged as being accessible only within boot services. This makes it awkward for us to figure out how much space they use at runtime. In theory we could figure this out by simply comparing the results from QueryVariableInfo() to the space used by all of our variables, but that fails if the platform doesn't garbage collect on every boot. Thankfully, calling QueryVariableInfo() while still inside boot services gives a more reliable answer. This patch passes that information from the EFI boot stub up to the efi platform code.

The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" -- a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand. This has several advantages: 1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way early in the kernel startup). 2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked from above the 4 GB limit. This allows kdump to work on very large systems. 3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.

2013-01-31x86, efi: Allow slash in file path of initrdLee, Chun-Yi
When initrd file didn't put at the same place with stub kernel, we need give the file path of initrd, but need use backslash to separate directory and file. It's not friendly to unix/linux user, and not so intuitive for bootloader forward paramters to efi stub kernel by chainloading. This patch add support to handle_ramdisks for allow slash in file path of initrd, it convert slash to backlash when parsing path. In additional, this patch also separates print code of efi_char16_t from efi_printk, and print out the path/filename of initrd when failed to open initrd file. It's good for debug and discover typo.

2013-01-30x86, boot: Support loading bzImage, boot_params and ramdisk above 4GYinghai Lu
xloadflags bit 1 indicates that we can load the kernel and all data structures above 4G; it is set if kernel is relocatable and 64bit. bootloader will check if xloadflags bit 1 is set to decide if it could load ramdisk and kernel high above 4G. bootloader will fill value to ext_ramdisk_image/size for high 32bits when it load ramdisk above 4G. kernel use get_ramdisk_image/size to use ext_ramdisk_image/size to get right positon for ramdisk.

2013-01-29x86, boot: Move lldt/ltr out of 64bit code sectionYinghai Lu
commit 08da5a2ca x86_64: Early segment setup for VT sets up LDT and TR into a valid state in order to speed up boot decompression under VT. Those code are put in code64, and it is using GDT that is only loaded from code32 path. That breaks booting with 64bit bootloader that does not go through code32 path and jump to startup_64 directly, and it has different GDT. Move those lines into code32 after their GDT is loaded.

2013-01-29x86, boot: Move verify_cpu.S and no_longmode downYinghai Lu
We need to move some code to 32bit section in following patch: x86, boot: Move lldt/ltr out of 64bit code section but that will push startup_64 down from 0x200. According to hpa, we can not change startup_64 position and that is an ABI. We could move function verify_cpu and no_longmode down, because verify_cpu is used via function call and no_longmode will not return, then we don't need to add extra code for jumping back.

2013-01-29x86, boot: Pass cmd_line_ptr with unsigned long insteadYinghai Lu
boot/compressed/misc.c is used for bzImage in 64bit and 32bit, and cmd_line_ptr could point to buffer that is above 4g, cmd_line_ptr should be 64bit otherwise high 32bit will be capped out. So need to change data type to unsigned long, that will be 64bit get correct address of command line buffer. And it is still ok with 32bit bzImage, because unsigned long on 32bit kernel is still 32bit.

cmdline.c::__cmdline_find_option... are shared between 16-bit setup code and 32/64 bit decompressor code. for 32/64 only path via kexec, we should not check if ptr is less 1M. as those cmdline could be put above 1M, or even 4G. Move out accessible checking out of __cmdline_find_option() So decompressor in misc.c can parse cmdline correctly.

2013-01-29x86, efi: remove attribute check from setup_efi_pciMaarten Lankhorst
It looks like the original commit that copied the rom contents from efi always copied the rom, and the fixup in setup_efi_pci from commit 886d751a2ea99a160 ("x86, efi: correct precedence of operators in setup_efi_pci") broke that. This resulted in macbook pro's no longer finding the rom images, and thus not being able to use the radeon card any more. The solution is to just remove the check for now, and always copy the rom if available.
