"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.
These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.
We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

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.

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:
0f96a99dab ("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.

This patch introduces new boot option named "efi_fake_mem".
By specifying this parameter, you can add arbitrary attribute
to specific memory range.
This is useful for debugging of Address Range Mirroring feature.
For example, if "efi_fake_mem=2G@4G:0x10000,2G@0x10a0000000:0x10000"
is specified, the original (firmware provided) EFI memmap will be
updated so that the specified memory regions have
EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE attribute (0x10000):
<original>
efi: mem36: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000100000000-0x00000020a0000000) (129536MB)

EFI_MEMORY_RO, which is now the preferred attribute to convey
that the nature of the contents of such a region allows it to be
mapped read-only (i.e., it contains .text and .rodata only).
The specification of the existing EFI_MEMORY_WP attribute has been

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.

So, I'm told this problem exists in the world:

I'm not really sure how it's okay that we have things in asm-generic on
some platforms but not others - is having it the same everywhere not the
whole point of asm-generic?
That said, ia64 doesn't have early_ioremap.h . So instead, since it's
difficult to imagine new IA64 machines with UEFI 2.5, just don't build
this code there.
To me this looks like a workaround - doing something like:
generic-y += early_ioremap.h
in arch/ia64/include/asm/Kbuild would appear to be more correct, but
ia64 has its own early_memremap() decl in arch/ia64/include/asm/io.h ,
and it's a macro. So adding the above /and/ requiring that asm/io.h be
included /after/ asm/early_ioremap.h in all cases would fix it, but
that's pretty ugly as well. Since I'm not going to spend the rest of my
life rectifying ia64 headers vs "generic" headers that aren't generic,
it's much simpler to just not build there.
Note that I've only actually tried to build this patch on x86_64, but
esrt.o still gets built there, and that would seem to demonstrate that
the conditional building is working correctly at all the places the code
built before. I no longer have any ia64 machines handy to test that the
exclusion actually works there.

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.

This adds support to the UEFI side for detecting the presence of

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.

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.

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 4bf7111f50 ("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.

kernel will be same. This paves the way to enable EFI in kexec kernel.
This patch also prepares and passes EFI setup data through bootparams.
This contains bunch of information about various tables and their

These information gathering and passing has been written along the lines
of what current kexec-tools is doing to make kexec work with UEFI.

Not only can EfiResetSystem() be used to reboot, it can also be used to
power down machines.
By and large, this functionality doesn't work very well across the range
of EFI machines in the wild, so it should definitely only be used as a
last resort. In an ideal world, this wouldn't be needed at all.
Unfortunately, we're starting to see machines where EFI is the *only*
reliable way to power down, and nothing else, not PCI, not ACPI, works.
efi_poweroff_required() should be implemented on a per-architecture
basis, since exactly when we should be using EFI runtime services is a
platform-specific decision. There's no analogue for reboot because each
architecture handles reboot very differently - the x86 code in
particular is pretty complex.
Patches to enable this for specific classes of hardware will be

- move forward declarations of functions shared between various .c files
of the generic stub code to a new local header file called "efistub.h"

There's no good reason to keep efi_enabled() under CONFIG_X86 anymore,
since nothing about the implementation is specific to x86.
Set EFI feature flags in the ia64 boot path instead of claiming to
support all features. The old behaviour was actually buggy since
efi.memmap never points to a valid memory map, so we shouldn't be
claiming to support EFI_MEMMAP.
Fortunately, this bug was never triggered because EFI_MEMMAP isn't used
outside of arch/x86 currently, but that may not always be the case.

As we grow support for more EFI architectures they're going to want the
ability to query which EFI features are available on the running system.
Instead of storing this information in an architecture-specific place,
stick it in the global 'struct efi', which is already the central
location for EFI state.
While we're at it, let's change the return value of efi_enabled() to be
bool and replace all references to 'facility' with 'feature', which is
the usual word used to describe the attributes of the running system.

Currently, when mounting pstore file system, a read callback of
efi_pstore driver runs mutiple times as below.
- In the first read callback, scan efivar_sysfs_list from head and pass
a kmsg buffer of a entry to an upper pstore layer.
- In the second read callback, rescan efivar_sysfs_list from the entry
and pass another kmsg buffer to it.
- Repeat the scan and pass until the end of efivar_sysfs_list.
In this process, an entry is read across the multiple read function
calls. To avoid race between the read and erasion, the whole process
above is protected by a spinlock, holding in open() and releasing in
close().
At the same time, kmemdup() is called to pass the buffer to pstore
filesystem during it. And then, it causes a following lockdep warning.
To make the dynamic memory allocation runnable without taking spinlock,
holding off a deletion of sysfs entry if it happens while scanning it
via efi_pstore, and deleting it after the scan is completed.
To implement it, this patch introduces two flags, scanning and deleting,
to efivar_entry.
On the code basis, it seems that all the scanning and deleting logic is
not needed because __efivars->lock are not dropped when reading from the
EFI variable store.
But, the scanning and deleting logic is still needed because an
efi-pstore and a pstore filesystem works as follows.
In case an entry(A) is found, the pointer is saved to psi->data. And
efi_pstore_read() passes the entry(A) to a pstore filesystem by
releasing __efivars->lock.
And then, the pstore filesystem calls efi_pstore_read() again and the
same entry(A), which is saved to psi->data, is used for resuming to scan
a sysfs-list.
So, to protect the entry(A), the logic is needed.

We map the EFI regions needed for runtime services non-contiguously,
with preserved alignment on virtual addresses starting from -4G down
for a total max space of 64G. This way, we provide for stable runtime
services addresses across kernels so that a kexec'd kernel can still use
them.
Thus, they're mapped in a separate pagetable so that we don't pollute
the kernel namespace.
Add an efi= kernel command line parameter for passing miscellaneous
options and chicken bits from the command line.
While at it, add a chicken bit called "efi=old_map" which can be used as
a fallback to the old runtime services mapping method in case there's

All the virtualized platforms (KVM, lguest and Xen) have persistent
wallclocks that have more than one second of precision.
read_persistent_wallclock() and update_persistent_wallclock() allow
for nanosecond precision but their implementation on x86 with
x86_platform.get/set_wallclock() only allows for one second precision.
This means guests may see a wallclock time that is off by up to 1
second.
Make set_wallclock() and get_wallclock() take a struct timespec
parameter (which allows for nanosecond precision) so KVM and Xen
guests may start with a more accurate wallclock time and a Xen dom0
can maintain a more accurate wallclock for guests.

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.

[Problem]
efi_pstore creates sysfs entries, which enable users to access to NVRAM,
in a write callback. If a kernel panic happens in an interrupt context,
it may fail because it could sleep due to dynamic memory allocations during
creating sysfs entries.
[Patch Description]
This patch removes sysfs operations from a write callback by introducing
a workqueue updating sysfs entries which is scheduled after the write
callback is called.
Also, the workqueue is kicked in a just oops case.
A system will go down in other cases such as panic, clean shutdown and emergency
restart. And we don't need to create sysfs entries because there is no chance for
users to access to them.
efi_pstore will be robust against a kernel panic in an interrupt context with this patch.

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.
The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
bricked. Also, the following report,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,
if (!efi_enabled)
hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.
Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
facilities.
For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).
This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

[Issue]
As discussed in a thread below, Running out of space in EFI isn't a well-tested scenario.
And we wouldn't expect all firmware to handle it gracefully.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=134305325801789&w=2
On the other hand, current efi_pstore doesn't check a remaining space of storage at writing time.
Therefore, efi_pstore may not work if it tries to write a large amount of data.
[Patch Description]
To avoid handling the situation above, this patch checks if there is a space enough to log with
QueryVariableInfo() before writing data.

Other than ix86, x86-64 on EFI so far didn't set the
{g,s}et_wallclock accessors to the EFI routines, thus
incorrectly using raw RTC accesses instead.
Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't
enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in
physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual
addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions
(which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so
instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode()
ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling
efi-get-time in physical mode).
Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable()
requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be
avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this
function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()).
Also make the two EFI functions in question here static -
they're not being referenced elsewhere.
History:
This commit was originally merged as bacef661ac ("x86-64/efi:
Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock") but it resulted in some
ASUS machines no longer booting due to a firmware bug, and so was
reverted in f026cfa82f. A pre-emptive fix for the buggy ASUS
firmware was merged in 03a1c254975e ("x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable
mapping for virtual EFI calls") so now this patch can be
reapplied.

The existing EFI variables code only supports variables of up to 1024
bytes. This limitation existed in version 0.99 of the EFI specification,
but was removed before any full releases. Since variables can now be
larger than a single page, sysfs isn't the best interface for this. So,
instead, let's add a filesystem. Variables can be read, written and
created, with the first 4 bytes of each variable representing its UEFI
attributes. The create() method doesn't actually commit to flash since
zero-length variables can't exist per-spec.

The ACPI BGRT driver accesses the BIOS logo image when it initializes.
However, ACPI 5.0 (which introduces the BGRT) recommends putting the
logo image in EFI boot services memory, so that the OS can reclaim that
memory. Production systems follow this recommendation, breaking the
ACPI BGRT driver.
Move the bulk of the BGRT code to run during a new EFI late
initialization phase, which occurs after switching EFI to virtual mode,
and after initializing ACPI, but before freeing boot services memory.
Copy the BIOS logo image to kernel memory at that point, and make it
accessible to the BGRT driver. Rework the existing ACPI BGRT driver to
act as a simple wrapper exposing that image (and the properties from the
BGRT) via sysfs.

The EFI initialization creates virtual mappings for EFI boot services
memory, so if a driver wants to access EFI boot services memory, it
cannot call ioremap itself; doing so will trip the WARN about mapping
RAM twice. Thus, a driver accessing EFI boot services memory must do so
via the existing mapping already created during EFI intiialization.
Since the EFI code already maintains a memory map for that memory, add a
function efi_lookup_mapped_addr to look up mappings in that memory map.

Traditionally the kernel has refused to setup EFI at all if there's been
a mismatch in 32/64-bit mode between EFI and the kernel.
On some platforms that boot natively through EFI (Chrome OS being one),
we still need to get at least some of the static data such as memory
configuration out of EFI. Runtime services aren't as critical, and
it's a significant amount of work to implement switching between the
operating modes to call between kernel and firmware for thise cases. So
I'm ignoring it for now.
v5:
* Fixed some printk strings based on feedback
* Renamed 32/64-bit specific types to not have _ prefix
* Fixed bug in printout of efi runtime disablement
v4:
* Some of the earlier cleanup was accidentally reverted by this patch, fixed.
* Reworded some messages to not have to line wrap printk strings
v3:
* Reorganized to a series of patches to make it easier to review, and
do some of the cleanups I had left out before.
v2:
* Added graceful error handling for 32-bit kernel that gets passed
EFI data above 4GB.
* Removed some warnings that were missed in first version.

UEFI stands for "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface", where "Firmware"
is an ancient African word meaning "Why do something right when you can
do it so wrong that children will weep and brave adults will cower before
you", and "UEI" is Celtic for "We missed DOS so we burned it into your
ROMs". The UEFI specification provides for runtime services (ie, another
way for the operating system to be forced to depend on the firmware) and
we rely on these for certain trivial tasks such as setting up the
bootloader. But some hardware fails to work if we attempt to use these
runtime services from physical mode, and so we have to switch into virtual
mode. So far so dreadful.
The specification makes it clear that the operating system is free to do
whatever it wants with boot services code after ExitBootServices() has been
called. SetVirtualAddressMap() can't be called until ExitBootServices() has
been. So, obviously, a whole bunch of EFI implementations call into boot
services code when we do that. Since we've been charmingly naive and
trusted that the specification may be somehow relevant to the real world,
we've already stuffed a picture of a penguin or something in that address
space. And just to make things more entertaining, we've also marked it
non-executable.
This patch allocates the boot services regions during EFI init and makes
sure that they're executable. Then, after SetVirtualAddressMap(), it
discards them and everyone lives happily ever after. Except for the ones
who have to work on EFI, who live sad lives haunted by the knowledge that
someone's eventually going to write yet another firmware specification.
[ hpa: adding this to urgent with a stable tag since it fixes currently-broken
hardware. However, I do not know what the dependencies are and so I do
not know which -stable versions this may be a candidate for. ]
