ARM and ARM64 architectures use the device tree to pass UEFI parameters
from stub to kernel. These parameters are things known to the stub but
not discoverable by the kernel after the stub calls ExitBootSerives().
There is a helper function in:
drivers/firmware/efi/fdt.c
which the stub uses to add the UEFI parameters to the device tree.
This patch adds a complimentary helper function which UEFI runtime
support may use to retrieve the parameters from the device tree.
If an architecture wants to use this helper, it should select
CONFIG_EFI_PARAMS_FROM_FDT.

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
"This is a collection of minor fixes for x86, plus the IRET information
leak fix (forbid the use of 16-bit segments in 64-bit mode)"
NOTE! We may have to relax the "forbid the use of 16-bit segments in
64-bit mode" part, since there may be people who still run and depend on
16-bit Windows binaries under Wine.
But I'm taking this in the current unconditional form for now to see who

we'll have to update it with some kind of runtime enablement (like our
vm.mmap_min_addr tunable that people who run dosemu/qemu/wine already

We're currently passing the file handle for the root file system to
efi_file_read() and efi_file_close(), instead of the file handle for the
file we wish to read/close.
While this has worked up until now, it seems that it has only been by
pure luck. Olivier explains,
"The issue is the UEFI Fat driver might return the same function for
'fh->read()' and 'h->read()'. While in our case it does not work with
a different implementation of EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. In our
case, we return a different pointer when reading a directory and
reading a file."
Fixing this actually clears up the two functions because we can drop one
of the arguments, and instead only pass a file 'handle' argument.

The ARM EFI boot stub doesn't need to care about the efi_early
infrastructure that x86 requires in order to do mixed mode thunking. So
wrap everything up in an efi_call_early() macro.
This allows x86 to do the necessary indirection jumps to call whatever
firmware interface is necessary (native or mixed mode), but also allows
the ARM folks to mask the fact that they don't support relocation in the
boot stub and need to pass 'sys_table_arg' to every function.

The google memconsole driver is currently broken upstream, as it tries
to read memory that is described as reserved in /proc/iomem, by
dereferencing a pointer obtained through phys_to_virt(). This triggers
a kernel fault as such regions are unmapped after early boot.
The proper workaround is to use ioremap_cache() / iounmap() around such
accesses.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
core, PNP and cpuidle updates. They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.
The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
status via _STA.
Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare. Also ACPI
container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
acpi-cpufreq driver.
Specifics:
- ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
scans regardless of the current status of that device. In
accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.

This patch makes a couple of changes to the SMBIOS/DMI scanning
code so it can be used on other archs (such as ARM and arm64):
(a) wrap the calls to ioremap()/iounmap(), this allows the use of a
flavor of ioremap() more suitable for random unaligned access;
(b) allow the non-EFI fallback probe into hardcoded physical address
0xF0000 to be disabled.

Switch to memblock interfaces for early memory allocator instead of
bootmem allocator. No functional change in beahvior than what it is in
current code from bootmem users points of view.
Archs already converted to NO_BOOTMEM now directly use memblock
interfaces instead of bootmem wrappers build on top of memblock. And
the archs which still uses bootmem, these new apis just fallback to
exiting bootmem APIs.

Here's the big driver core and sysfs patch set for 3.14-rc1.
There's a lot of work here moving sysfs logic out into a "kernfs" to
allow other subsystems to also have a virtual filesystem with the same
attributes of sysfs (handle device disconnect, dynamic creation /
removal as needed / unneeded, etc. This is primarily being done for
the cgroups filesystem, but the goal is to also move debugfs to it when
it is ready, solving all of the known issues in that filesystem as well.
The code isn't completed yet, but all should be stable now (there is a
big section that was reverted due to problems found when testing.)
There's also some other smaller fixes, and a driver core addition that
allows for a "collection" of objects, that the DRM people will be using
soon (it's in this tree to make merges after -rc1 easier.)
All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues.

Commit 7ea6c6c1 ("Move cper.c from drivers/acpi/apei to
drivers/firmware/efi") results in CONFIG_EFI being enabled even
when the user doesn't want this. Since ACPI APEI used to build
fine without UEFI (and as far as I know also has no functional
depency on it), at least in that case using a reverse dependency
is wrong (and a straight one isn't needed).
Whether the same is true for ACPI_EXTLOG I don't know - if there
is a functional dependency, it should depend on EFI rather than
selecting it. It certainly has (currently) no build dependency.
Adjust Kconfig and build logic so that the bad dependency gets
avoided.

a8b1474442 ("sysfs: give different locking key to regular and bin
files") in driver-core-linus modifies sysfs_open_file() so that it
gives out different locking classes to sysfs_open_files depending on
whether the file is bin or not. Due to the massive kernfs
reorganization in driver-core-next, this naturally causes merge
conflict in fs/sysfs/file.c.
Due to the way things are split between kernfs and sysfs in
driver-core-next, the same fix can't easily be applied to
driver-core-next. This merge simply ignores the offending commit. A
following patch will implement a separate fix for the issue.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y, removing and immediately reloading the
dmi-sysfs module causes the following warning:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/firmware/dmi'
kobject_add_internal failed for dmi with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.
The "dmi" directory stays in sysfs until the dmi_kobj is released, and
DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE delays that.
I don't think we can hit this problem in normal usage because dmi_kobj is
static and nothing outside dmi-sysfs can get a reference to it, so the
only way to delay the "dmi" release is with DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE.

To avoid build problems and breaking dependencies between ACPI header
files, <acpi/acpi.h> should not be included directly by code outside
of the ACPI core subsystem, but this is done by the ACPI iSCSI
Boot Firmware code.
The iBFT specification doesn't mention whether or not it can appear
on a non-ACPI platform, but is says that ACPI 3.0b defines the
mechanism. The current CONFIG_ISCSI_IBFT_FIND code doesn't use the
ACPI tables API to locate the table, so it doesn't rely on CONFIG_ACPI
directly.
However, since iBFT is is an ACPI-based mechanism (please refer to
the documentation link below for more information), it should be
correct to make CONFIG_ISCSI_IBFT_FIND depend on CONFIG_ACPI (even
though the table location can be implemented without using ACPI
tables API).
After that change, include/linux/iscsi_ibft.h can be modified to
include <linux/acpi.h> instead of <acpi/acpi.h> as appropriate.

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.

Pull DMA mask updates from Russell King:
"This series cleans up the handling of DMA masks in a lot of drivers,
fixing some bugs as we go.
Some of the more serious errors include:
- drivers which only set their coherent DMA mask if the attempt to
set the streaming mask fails.
- drivers which test for a NULL dma mask pointer, and then set the
dma mask pointer to a location in their module .data section -
which will cause problems if the module is reloaded.
To counter these, I have introduced two helper functions:
- dma_set_mask_and_coherent() takes care of setting both the
streaming and coherent masks at the same time, with the correct
error handling as specified by the API.
- dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() which resolves the problem of
drivers forcefully setting DMA masks. This is more a marker for
future work to further clean these locations up - the code which
creates the devices really should be initialising these, but to fix
that in one go along with this change could potentially be very
disruptive.
The last thing this series does is prise away some of Linux's addition
to "DMA addresses are physical addresses and RAM always starts at
zero". We have ARM LPAE systems where all system memory is above 4GB
physical, hence having DMA masks interpreted by (eg) the block layers
as describing physical addresses in the range 0..DMAMASK fails on
these platforms. Santosh Shilimkar addresses this in this series; the
patches were copied to the appropriate people multiple times but were
ignored.
Fixing this also gets rid of some ARM weirdness in the setup of the
max*pfn variables, and brings ARM into line with every other Linux
architecture as far as those go"

cper.c contains code to decode and print "Common Platform Error Records".
Originally added under drivers/acpi/apei because the only user was in that
same directory - but now we have another consumer, and we shouldn't have
to force CONFIG_ACPI_APEI get access to this code.
Since CPER is defined in the UEFI specification - the logical home for
this code is under drivers/firmware/efi/

This driver doesn't need to directly access DMA masks if it uses the
platform_device_register_full() API rather than
platform_device_register_simple() - the former function can initialize
the DMA mask appropriately.
Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
dcdbas was explicitly initializing DMA masks thusly:
dcdbas_pdev->dev.coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32);
dcdbas_pdev->dev.dma_mask = &dcdbas_pdev->dev.coherent_dma_mask;
which bypasses the architecture check. Moreover, it is creating the
dcdbas_pdev device itself, and using the platform_device_register_full()
avoids some of this explicit initialization.
Convert the driver to use platform_device_register_full(), and as it
makes use of coherent DMA, also call dma_set_coherent_mask() to ensure
that the architecture gets to check the mask.

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.)

Merge smbios_present() into dmi_present(), so we look for an SMBIOS
signature at the beginning of the given buffer and then for a DMI
signature at an offset of 16 bytes.

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.

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. So the
patch delete firmware_map_find_entry() from releae_firmware_map_entry()

The reason for the crash is that '__efivars' hasn't been initialised nor
has it been registered with register_efivars() by the time the google
EFI SMI driver runs. The gsmi code uses its own struct efivars, and
therefore, a different variable list. Fix the above crash by passing
the registered struct efivars to variable_is_present(), so that we
traverse the correct list.

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.

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's not much we can do to work around and keep traversing the
variable list once we hit this firmware bug. Our only solution is to
terminate the loop because, as Lingzhu reports, some machines get
stuck when they encounter duplicate names,
> I had an IBM System x3100 M4 and x3850 X5 on which kernel would
> get stuck in infinite loop creating duplicate sysfs files because,
> for some reason, there are several duplicate boot entries in nvram
> getting GetNextVariableName into a circle of iteration (with
> period > 2).
Also disable the workqueue, as efivar_update_sysfs_entries() uses
GetNextVariableName() to figure out which variables have been created
since the last iteration. That algorithm isn't going to work if
GetNextVariableName() returns duplicates. Note that we don't disable
EFI variable creation completely on the affected machines, it's just
that any pstore dump-* files won't appear in sysfs until the next
boot.

It's not wise to assume VariableNameSize represents the length of
VariableName, as not all firmware updates VariableNameSize in the same
way (some don't update it at all if EFI_SUCCESS is returned). 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

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.

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).

Stricter validation was introduced with commit da27a24383
("efivarfs: guid part of filenames are case-insensitive") and commit
47f531e8ba ("efivarfs: Validate filenames much more aggressively"),
which is necessary for the guid portion of efivarfs filenames, but we
don't need to be so strict with the first part, the variable name. The
UEFI specification doesn't impose any constraints on variable names
other than they be a NULL-terminated string.
The above commits caused a regression that resulted in users seeing
the following message,
$ sudo mount -v /sys/firmware/efi/efivars mount: Cannot allocate memory
whenever pstore EFI variables were present in the variable store,
since their variable names failed to pass the following check,
/* GUID should be right after the first '-' */
if (s - 1 != strchr(str, '-'))
as a typical pstore filename is of the form, dump-type0-10-1-<guid>.
The fix is trivial since the guid portion of the filename is GUID_LEN
bytes, we can use (len - GUID_LEN) to ensure the '-' character is
where we expect it to be.
(The bogus ENOMEM error value will be fixed in a separate patch.)

UEFI variables are typically stored in flash. For various reasons, avaiable
space is typically not reclaimed immediately upon the deletion of a
variable - instead, the system will garbage collect during initialisation
after a reboot.
Some systems appear to handle this garbage collection extremely poorly,
failing if more than 50% of the system flash is in use. This can result in
the machine refusing to boot. The safest thing to do for the moment is to
forbid writes if they'd end up using more than half of the storage space.
We can make this more finegrained later if we come up with a method for
identifying the broken machines.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.
A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.
Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.
This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

When (hot)adding memory into system, /sys/firmware/memmap/X/{end, start,
type} sysfs files are created. But there is no code to remove these
files. This patch implements the function to remove them.
We cannot free firmware_map_entry which is allocated by bootmem because
there is no way to do so when the system is up. But we can at least
remember the address of that memory and reuse the storage when the
memory is added next time.
This patch also introduces a new list map_entries_bootmem to link the
map entries allocated by bootmem when they are removed, and a lock to
protect it. And these entries will be reused when the memory is
hot-added again.
The idea is suggestted by Andrew Morton.
NOTE: It is unsafe to return an entry pointer and release the
map_entries_lock. So we should not hold the map_entries_lock
separately in firmware_map_find_entry() and
firmware_map_remove_entry(). Hold the map_entries_lock across find
and remove /sys/firmware/memmap/X operation.
And also, users of these two functions need to be careful to
hold the lock when using these two functions.

efi_pstore: Avoid deadlock in non-blocking paths

[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.

[Problem]
There is a scenario which efi_pstore fails to log messages in a panic case.
- CPUA holds an efi_var->lock in either efivarfs parts
or efi_pstore with interrupt enabled.
- CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop().
- CPUA stops with holding the lock.
- CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC)
but it returns without logging messages.
[Patch Description]
This patch disables an external interruption while holding efivars->lock
as follows.
In efi_pstore_write() and get_var_data(), spin_lock/spin_unlock is
replaced by spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore because they may
be called in an interrupt context.
In other functions, they are replaced by spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq.
because they are all called from a process context.
By applying this patch, we can avoid the problem above with
a following senario.
- CPUA holds an efi_var->lock with interrupt disabled.
- CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop().
- CPUA receives the IPI after releasing the lock because it is
disabling interrupt while holding the lock.
- CPUB waits for one sec until CPUA releases the lock.
- CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC)
And it can hold the lock successfully.

has no case.
Roll our own dentry operations so that we can treat the variable name
part of filenames ("VarName" in the above example) as case-sensitive,
but the guid portion as case-insensitive. That way, efivarfs will
refuse to create the above files if any one already exists.

The only thing that efivarfs does to enforce a valid filename is
ensure that the name isn't too short. We need to strongly sanitise any
filenames, not least because variable creation is delayed until
efivarfs_file_write(), which means we can't rely on the firmware to
inform us of an invalid name, because if the file is never written to
we'll never know it's invalid.
Perform a couple of steps before agreeing to create a new file,
* hex_to_bin() returns a value indicating whether or not it was able
to convert its arguments to a binary representation - we should
check it.
* Ensure that the GUID portion of the filename is the correct length
and format.
* The variable name portion of the filename needs to be at least one
character in size.

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.

Files are created in efivarfs_create() before a corresponding variable
is created in the firmware. This leads to users being able to
read/write to the file without the variable existing in the
firmware. Reading a non-existent variable currently returns -ENOENT,
which is confusing because the file obviously *does* exist.
Convert EFI_NOT_FOUND into -EIO which is the closest thing to "error
while interacting with firmware", and should hopefully indicate to the
caller that the variable is in some uninitialised state.

[Issue]
There is a scenario which efi_pstore may hang up:
- cpuA grabs efivars->lock
- cpuB panics and calls smp_send_stop
- smp_send_stop sends IRQ to cpuA
- after 1 second, cpuB gives up on cpuA and sends an NMI instead
- cpuA is now in an NMI handler while still holding efivars->lock
- cpuB is deadlocked
This case may happen if a firmware has a bug and
cpuA is stuck talking with it.
[Solution]
This patch changes a spin_lock to a spin_trylock in non-blocking paths.
and if the spin_lock has already taken by another cpu,
it returns without accessing to a firmware to avoid the deadlock.

The right dmi version is in SMBIOS if it's zero in DMI region
This issue was originally found from an oracle bug.
One customer noticed system UUID doesn't match between dmidecode & uek2.
- HP ProLiant BL460c G6 :
# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid
00000000-0000-4C48-3031-4D5030333531
# dmidecode | grep -i uuid
UUID: 00000000-0000-484C-3031-4D5030333531
From SMBIOS 2.6 on, spec use little-endian encoding for UUID other than
network byte order.
So we need to get dmi version to distinguish. If version is 0.0, the
real version is taken from the SMBIOS version. This is part of original
kernel comment in code.

[Issue]
Currently, a variable name, which identifies each entry, consists of type, id and ctime.
But if multiple events happens in a short time, a second/third event may fail to log because
efi_pstore can't distinguish each event with current variable name.
[Solution]
A reasonable way to identify all events precisely is introducing a sequence counter to
the variable name.
The sequence counter has already supported in a pstore layer with "oopscount".
So, this patch adds it to a variable name.
Also, it is passed to read/erase callbacks of platform drivers in accordance with
the modification of the variable name.
<before applying this patch>
a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-12345678
a variable name of second event: dump-type0-1-12345678
type:0
id:1
ctime:12345678
If multiple events happen in a short time, efi_pstore can't distinguish them because
variable names are same among them.
<after applying this patch>
it can be distinguishable by adding a sequence counter as follows.
a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-1-12345678
a variable name of Second event: dump-type0-1-2-12345678
type:0
id:1
sequence counter: 1(first event), 2(second event)
ctime:12345678
In case of a write callback executed in pstore_console_write(), "0" is added to
an argument of the write callback because it just logs all kernel messages and
doesn't need to care about multiple events.

[Issue]
Currently, a variable name, which is used to identify each log entry, consists of type,
id and ctime. But an erase callback does not use ctime.
If efi_pstore supported just one log, type and id were enough.
However, in case of supporting multiple logs, it doesn't work because
it can't distinguish each entry without ctime at erasing time.
<Example>
As you can see below, efi_pstore can't differentiate first event from second one without ctime.
a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-12345678
a variable name of second event: dump-type0-1-23456789
type:0
id:1
ctime:12345678, 23456789
[Solution]
This patch adds ctime to an argument of an erase callback.
It works across reboots because ctime of pstore means the date that the record was originally stored.
To do this, efi_pstore saves the ctime to variable name at writing time and passes it to pstore
at reading time.

[Issue]
Currently, efi_pstore driver simply overwrites existing panic messages in NVRAM.
So, in the following scenario, we will lose 1st panic messages.
1. kernel panics.
2. efi_pstore is kicked and writes panic messages to NVRAM.
3. system reboots.
4. kernel panics again before a user checks the 1st panic messages in NVRAM.
[Solution]
A reasonable solution to fix the issue is just holding multiple logs without erasing
existing entries.
This patch removes a logic erasing existing entries in a write callback
because the logic is not needed in the write callback to support holding multiple logs.

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.

To avoid handling the situation above, this patch checks if there is a space enough to log with
QueryVariableInfo() before writing data.

At present, the handling of GUIDs in efivar file names isn't consistent.
We use GUID_LEN in some places, and 38 in others (GUID_LEN plus

This change removes the trailing NUL from GUID_LEN, so that we're
explicitly adding it when required. We also replace magic numbers
with GUID_LEN, and clarify the comments where appropriate.
We also fix the allocation size in efivar_create_sysfs_entry, where
we're allocating one byte too much, due to counting the trailing NUL
twice - once when calculating short_name_size, and once in the kzalloc.

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.

...
There are two ways to create /sys/firmware/memmap/X sysfs:
- firmware_map_add_early
When the system starts, it is calledd from e820_reserve_resources()
- firmware_map_add_hotplug
When the memory is hot plugged, it is called from add_memory()
But these functions are called without unifying value of end argument as
below:
- end argument of firmware_map_add_early() : start + size - 1
- end argument of firmware_map_add_hogplug() : start + size
The patch unifies them to "start + size". Even if applying the patch,
/sys/firmware/memmap/X/end file content does not change.

efi_setup_pcdp_console() is called during boot to parse the HCDP/PCDP
EFI system table and setup an early console for printk output. The
routine uses ioremap/iounmap to setup access to the HCDP/PCDP table
information.
The call to ioremap is happening early in the boot process which leads
to a panic on x86_64 systems:

This replaces the calls to ioremap/iounmap in efi_setup_pcdp_console()
with calls to early_ioremap/early_iounmap which can be called during
early boot.
This patch was tested on an x86_64 prototype system which uses the
HCDP/PCDP table for early console setup.

A common flaw in UEFI systems is a refusal to POST triggered by a malformed
boot variable. Once in this state, machines may only be restored by
reflashing their firmware with an external hardware device. While this is
obviously a firmware bug, the serious nature of the outcome suggests that
operating systems should filter their variable writes in order to prevent
a malicious user from rendering the machine unusable.

Found one system with UEFI/iBFT, kernel does not detect the iBFT during
iscsi_ibft module loading.
Root cause: on x86 (UEFI), we are calling of find_ibft_region() much earlier
- specifically in setup_arch() before ACPI is enabled.
Try to split acpi checking code out and call that later
At that time ACPI iBFT already get permanent mapped with ioremap.
So isa_virt_to_bus() will get wrong phys from right virt address.
We could just skip that phys address printing.
For legacy one, print the found address early.
-v2: update comments and description according to Konrad.

It has been pointed out previously, that the firmware subsystem is not the right
place for the SigmaDSP firmware loader. Furthermore the SigmaDSP is currently
only used in audio products and we are aiming for better integration into the
ASoC framework in the future, with support for ALSA controls for firmware
parameters and support dynamic power management as well. So the natural choice
for the SigmaDSP firmware loader is the ASoC subsystem.

The buf_lock cannot be held while populating the inodes, so make the backend
pass forward an allocated and filled buffer instead. This solves the following
backtrace. The effect is that "buf" is only ever used to notify the backends
that something was written to it, and shouldn't be used in the read path.
To replace the buf_lock during the read path, isolate the open/read/close
loop with a separate mutex to maintain serialized access to the backend.
Note that is is up to the pstore backend to cope if the (*write)() path is
called in the middle of the read path.

The current implementation of dmi_name_in_vendors() is an invitation to
lazy coding and false positives [1]. Searching for a string in 8 know
what you're looking for, so you should know where to look. strstr isn't
fast, especially when it fails, so we should avoid calling it when it
just can't succeed.
Looking at the current users of the function, it seems clear to me that
they are looking for a system or board vendor name, so let's limit
dmi_name_in_vendors to these two DMI fields. This much better matches
the function name, BTW.
[1] We currently have code looking for short names in DMI data, such as
"IBM", "ASUS" or "Acer". I let you guess what will happen the day other
vendors ship products named, for example, "SCHREIBMEISTER", "PEGASUS" or
"Acerola".

pstore was using mutex locking to protect read/write access to the
backend plug-ins. This causes problems when pstore is executed in
an NMI context through panic() -> kmsg_dump().
This patch changes the mutex to a spin_lock_irqsave then also checks to
see if we are in an NMI context. If we are in an NMI and can't get the
lock, just print a message stating that and blow by the locking.
All this is probably a hack around the bigger locking problem but it
solves my current situation of trying to sleep in an NMI context.
Tested by loading the lkdtm module and executing a HARDLOCKUP which
will cause the machine to panic inside the nmi handler.

Instead of open-coding the string operations for comparing the prefix of
the variable names, use the provided utf16_* string functions.
This patch also changes the calls to efi.set_variable to
efivars->ops->set_variable so that the right function gets called in the
case of gsmi (which doesn't have a valid efi structure).
As well, make sure that we only consider variables with the right vendor
string.

Fix the string functions in the efivars driver to be called utf16_*
instead of utf8_* as the encoding is utf16, not utf8.
As well, rename utf16_strlen to utf16_strnlen as it takes a maxlength
argument and the name should be consistent with the standard C function
names. utf16_strlen is still provided for convenience in a subsequent
patch.

be2iscsi passes the boot functions its phba object which is
allocated in the shost, but iscsi_ibft passes in a object
allocated for each item to display. The problem is that
iscsi_boot_sysfs was managing the lifetime of the object
passed in and doing a kfree on release. This causes a double
free for be2iscsi which frees the shost in its pci_remove.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a release callback
which the drivers can call kfree or a put() type of function
(needed for be2iscsi which will do a get/put on the shost).

This patch introduces the 'memconsole' driver.
Our firmware gives us access to an in-memory log of the firmware's
output. This gives us visibility in a data-center of headless machines
as to what the firmware is doing.
The memory console is found by the driver by finding a header block in
the EBDA. The buffer is then copied out, and is exported to userland in
the file /sys/firmware/log.

The "gsmi" driver bridges userland with firmware specific routines for
accessing hardware.
Currently, this driver only supports NVRAM and eventlog information.
Deprecated functions have been removed from the driver, though their
op-codes are left in place so that they are not re-used.
This driver works by trampolining into the firmware via the smi_command
outlined in the FADT table. Three protocols are used due to various
limitations over time, but all are included herein.
This driver should only ever load on Google boards, identified by either
a "Google, Inc." board vendor string in DMI, or "GOOGLE" in the OEM
strings of the FADT ACPI table. This logic happens in
gsmi_system_valid().

Check for nonzero path in edd_has_edd30() has no sense. First, it looks
at the wrong memory. Device path starts at offset 30 of the info->params
structure which is at offset 8 from the beginning of info structure,
but code looks at info + 4 instead. This was correct when code was
introduced, but around v2.6.4 three more fields were added to edd_info
structure (commit 66b61a5c in history.git). Second, even if it will check
correct memory it will always succeed since at offset 30 (params->key)
there will be non-zero values otherwise previous check would fail.
The patch replaces this bogus check with one that verifies checksum.

Broadcom iscsi offload firmware uses a non standard ibft sign of "BIFT".
When we added support for boot, the anaconda team and I were using
older firmware (I guess 4 years old), so boot does not work on current
cards.
This patch modifies the ibft search code to search for "BIFT" along
with the other possible values.
Broadcom has tested the patch and reported it works with their
firmware. Mike has tested Chelsio and Intel cards.

Now that we all global variable state is encapsulated by struct efivars,
parameterize all functions to the efivars local to the control flow rather
than at file scope. We do this by removing the variable "efivars" at file
scope and move its storage down to the end of the file.
Variables get at efivars by storing the efivars pointer within each
efivar_entry. The "new_var" and "del_var" binary attribute files get at
the efivars through the private pointer.

The dcdbas driver can do an I/O write to cause a SMI to occur. The SMI handler
looks at certain registers and memory locations, so the SMI needs to happen
immediately. On some systems I/O writes are posted, though, causing the SMI to
happen well after the "outb" occurred, which causes random failures. Following
the "outb" with an "inb" forces the write to go through even if it is posted.
