commit 9c55461040 upstream.
Currently, the EFI stub invokes the EFI memory attributes protocol to
strip any NX restrictions from the entire loaded kernel, resulting in
all code and data being mapped read-write-execute.
The point of the EFI memory attributes protocol is to remove the need
for all memory allocations to be mapped with both write and execute
permissions by default, and make it the OS loader's responsibility to
transition data mappings to code mappings where appropriate.
Even though the UEFI specification does not appear to leave room for
denying memory attribute changes based on security policy, let's be
cautious and avoid relying on the ability to create read-write-execute
mappings. This is trivially achievable, given that the amount of kernel
code executing via the firmware's 1:1 mapping is rather small and
limited to the .head.text region. So let's drop the NX restrictions only
on that subregion, but not before remapping it as read-only first.

commit cd0d9d92c8 upstream.
The early SME/SEV code parses the command line very early, in order to
decide whether or not memory encryption should be enabled, which needs
to occur even before the initial page tables are created.
This is problematic for a number of reasons:
- this early code runs from the 1:1 mapping provided by the decompressor
or firmware, which uses a different translation than the one assumed by
the linker, and so the code needs to be built in a special way;
- parsing external input while the entire kernel image is still mapped
writable is a bad idea in general, and really does not belong in
security minded code;
- the current code ignores the built-in command line entirely (although
this appears to be the case for the entire decompressor)
Given that the decompressor/EFI stub is an intrinsic part of the x86
bootable kernel image, move the command line parsing there and out of
the core kernel. This removes the need to build lib/cmdline.o in a
special way, or to use RIP-relative LEA instructions in inline asm
blocks.
This involves a new xloadflag in the setup header to indicate
that mem_encrypt=on appeared on the kernel command line.

commit decd347c2a upstream.
Commit
8117961d98 ("x86/efi: Disregard setup header of loaded image")
dropped the memcopy of the image's setup header into the boot_params
struct provided to the core kernel, on the basis that EFI boot does not
need it and should rely only on a single protocol to interface with the
boot chain. It is also a prerequisite for being able to increase the
section alignment to 4k, which is needed to enable memory protections
when running in the boot services.
So only the setup_header fields that matter to the core kernel are
populated explicitly, and everything else is ignored. One thing was
overlooked, though: the initrd_addr_max field in the setup_header is not
used by the core kernel, but it is used by the EFI stub itself when it
loads the initrd, where its default value of INT_MAX is used as the soft
limit for memory allocation.
This means that, in the old situation, the initrd was virtually always
loaded in the lower 2G of memory, but now, due to initrd_addr_max being
0x0, the initrd may end up anywhere in memory. This should not be an
issue principle, as most systems can deal with this fine. However, it
does appear to tickle some problems in older UEFI implementations, where
the memory ends up being corrupted, resulting in errors when unpacking
the initramfs.
So set the initrd_addr_max field to INT_MAX like it was before.

Following warning is sometimes observed while booting my servers:
[ 3.594838] DMA: preallocated 4096 KiB GFP_KERNEL pool for atomic allocations
[ 3.602918] swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1
...
[ 3.851862] DMA: preallocated 1024 KiB GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA pool for atomic allocation
If 'nokaslr' boot option is set, the warning always happens.
On x86, ZONE_DMA is small zone at the first 16MB of physical address
space. When this problem happens, most of that space seems to be used by
decompressed kernel. Thereby, there is not enough space at DMA_ZONE to
meet the request of DMA pool allocation.
The commit 2f77465b05 ("x86/efistub: Avoid placing the kernel below
LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR") tried to fix this problem by introducing lower
bound of allocation.
But the fix is not complete.
efi_random_alloc() allocates pages by following steps.
1. Count total available slots ('total_slots')
2. Select a slot ('target_slot') to allocate randomly
3. Calculate a starting address ('target') to be included target_slot
4. Allocate pages, which starting address is 'target'
In step 1, 'alloc_min' is used to offset the starting address of memory
chunk. But in step 3 'alloc_min' is not considered at all. As the
result, 'target' can be miscalculated and become lower than 'alloc_min'.
When KASLR is disabled, 'target_slot' is always 0 and the problem
happens everytime if the EFI memory map of the system meets the
condition.
Fix this problem by calculating 'target' considering 'alloc_min'.

[ Upstream commit df7ecce842 ]
Clearing BSS should only be done once, at the very beginning.
efi_pe_entry() is the entrypoint from the firmware, which may not clear
BSS and so it is done explicitly. However, efi_pe_entry() is also used
as an entrypoint by the mixed mode startup code, in which case BSS will
already have been cleared, and doing it again at this point will corrupt
global variables holding the firmware's GDT/IDT and segment selectors.
So make the memset() conditional on whether the EFI stub is running in
native mode.

[ Upstream commit b3810c5a2c ]
The EFI stub on x86 no longer invokes the decompressor as a subsequent
boot stage, but calls into the decompression code directly while running
in the context of the EFI boot services.
This means that when using the native EFI entrypoint (as opposed to the
EFI handover protocol, which clears BSS explicitly), the firmware PE
image loader is being relied upon to ensure that BSS is zeroed before
the EFI stub is entered from the firmware.
As Radek's report proves, this is a bad idea. Not all loaders do this
correctly, which means some global variables that should be statically
initialized to 0x0 may have junk in them.
So clear BSS explicitly when entering via efi_pe_entry(). Note that
zeroing BSS from C code is not generally safe, but in this case, the
following assignment and dereference of a global pointer variable
ensures that the memset() cannot be deferred or reordered.

The EFI stub's kernel placement logic randomizes the physical placement
of the kernel by taking all available memory into account, and picking a
region at random, based on a random seed.
When KASLR is disabled, this seed is set to 0x0, and this results in the
lowest available region of memory to be selected for loading the kernel,
even if this is below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR. Some of this memory is
typically reserved for the GFP_DMA region, to accommodate masters that
can only access the first 16 MiB of system memory.
Even if such devices are rare these days, we may still end up with a
warning in the kernel log, as reported by Tom:
swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0
Fix this by tweaking the random allocation logic to accept a low bound
on the placement, and set it to LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR.

The recently introduced EFI memory attributes protocol should be used
if it exists to ensure that the memory allocation created for the kernel
permits execution. This is needed for compatibility with tightened
requirements related to Windows logo certification for x86 PCs.
Currently, we simply strip the execute protect (XP) attribute from the
entire range, but this might be rejected under some firmware security
policies, and so in a subsequent patch, this will be changed to only
strip XP from the executable region that runs early, and make it
read-only (RO) as well.
In order to catch any issues early, ensure that the memory attribute
protocol works as intended, and give up if it produces spurious errors.
Note that the DXE services based fallback was always based on best
effort, so don't propagate any errors returned by that API.

The EFI stub makefile contains logic to ensure that the objects that
make up the stub do not contain relocations that require runtime fixups
(typically to account for the runtime load address of the executable)
On RISC-V, we also avoid GP based relocations, as they require that GP
is assigned the correct base in the startup code, which is not
implemented in the EFI stub.
So add these relocation types to the grep expression that is used to
carry out this check.

It was not yet observed with newer versions, but that may just be luck.

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"From the new features standpoint, the most significant change here is
the addition of CSI-2 and MIPI DisCo for Imaging support to the ACPI
device enumeration code that will allow MIPI cameras to be enumerated
through the platform firmware on systems using ACPI.
Also significant is the switch-over to threaded interrupt handlers for
the ACPI SCI and the dedicated EC interrupt (on systems where the
former is not used) which essentially allows all ACPI code to run with
local interrupts enabled. That should improve responsiveness
significantly on systems where multiple GPEs are enabled and the
handling of one SCI involves many I/O address space accesses which
previously had to be carried out in one go with disabled interrupts on
the local CPU.
Apart from the above, the ACPI thermal zone driver will use the
Thermal fast Sampling Period (_TFP) object if available, which should
allow temperature changes to be followed more accurately on some
systems, the ACPI Notify () handlers can run on all CPUs (not just on
CPU0), which should generally speed up the processing of events
signaled through the ACPI SCI, and the ACPI power button driver will
trigger wakeup key events via the input subsystem (on systems where it
is a system wakeup device)

When KASLR is enabled, the KASLR_FLAG bit in boot_params->hdr.loadflags
should be set to 1 to propagate KASLR status from compressed kernel to
kernel, just as the choose_random_location() function does.
Currently, when the kernel is booted via the EFI stub, the KASLR_FLAG
bit in boot_params->hdr.loadflags is not set, even though it should be.
This causes some functions, such as kernel_randomize_memory(), not to
execute as expected. Fix it.

You do not need to use $(shell ...) in recipe lines, as they are already
executed in a shell. An alternative solution is $$(...), which is an
escaped sequence of the shell's command substituion, $(...).
For this case, there is a reason to avoid $(shell ...).
Kbuild detects command changes by using the if_changed macro, which
compares the previous command recorded in .*.cmd with the current
command from Makefile. If they differ, Kbuild re-runs the build rule.
To diff the commands, Make must expand $(shell ...) first. It means that
hexdump is executed every time, even when nothing needs rebuilding. If
Kbuild determines that vmlinux.bin needs rebuilding, hexdump will be
executed again to evaluate the 'cmd' macro, one more time to really
build vmlinux.bin, and finally yet again to record the expanded command
into .*.cmd.
Replace $(shell ...) with $$(...) to avoid multiple, unnecessay shell
evaluations. Since Make is agnostic about the shell code, $(...), the
if_changed macro compares the string "$(hexdump -s16 -n4 ...)" verbatim,
so hexdump is run only for building vmlinux.bin.
For the same reason, $(shell ...) in EFI_ZBOOT_OBJCOPY_FLAGS should be
eliminated.
While I was here, I replaced '&&' with ';' because a command for
if_changed is executed with 'set -e'.

River reports boot hangs with v6.6 and v6.7, and the bisect points to
commit
a1b87d54f4 ("x86/efistub: Avoid legacy decompressor when doing EFI boot")
which moves the memory allocation and kernel decompression from the
legacy decompressor (which executes *after* ExitBootServices()) to the
EFI stub, using boot services for allocating the memory. The memory
allocation succeeds but the subsequent call to decompress_kernel() never
returns, resulting in a failed boot and a hanging system.
As it turns out, this issue only occurs when physical address
randomization (KASLR) is enabled, and given that this is a feature we
can live without (virtual KASLR is much more important), let's disable
the physical part of KASLR when booting on AMI UEFI firmware claiming to
implement revision v2.0 of the specification (which was released in
2006), as this is the version these systems advertise.

When the flash is not owned by the non-secure world, accessing the EFI
variables is straight-forward and done via EFI Runtime Variable
Services. In this case, critical variables for system integrity and
security are normally stored in the dedicated secure storage and can
only be manipulated directly from the secure world.
Usually, small embedded devices don't have the special dedicated secure
storage. The eMMC device with an RPMB partition is becoming more common,
and we can use this RPMB partition to store the EFI Variables.
The eMMC device is typically owned by the non-secure world (Linux in our
case). There is an existing solution utilizing eMMC RPMB partition for
EFI Variables, it is implemented by interacting with TEE (OP-TEE in this
case), StandaloneMM (as EFI Variable Service Pseudo TA), eMMC driver and
tee-supplicant. The last piece is the tee-based variable access driver
to interact with TEE and StandaloneMM.
So let's add the kernel functions needed.
This feature is implemented as a kernel module. StMM PTA has
TA_FLAG_DEVICE_ENUM_SUPP flag when registered to OP-TEE so that this
tee_stmm_efi module is probed after tee-supplicant starts, since
"SetVariable" EFI Runtime Variable Service requires to interact with
tee-supplicant.

When a task needs to accept memory it will scan the accepting_list
to see if any ranges already being processed by other tasks overlap
with its range. Due to an off-by-one in the range comparisons, a task
might falsely determine that an overlapping range is being accepted,
leading to an unnecessary delay before it begins processing the range.
Fix the off-by-one in the range comparison to prevent this and slightly
improve performance.

This patch leverages the alternative mechanism to dynamically optimize
bitops (including __ffs, __fls, ffs, fls) with Zbb instructions. When
Zbb ext is not supported by the runtime CPU, legacy implementation is
used. If Zbb is supported, then the optimized variants will be selected
via alternative patching.
The legacy bitops support is taken from the generic C implementation as
fallback.
If the parameter is a build-time constant, we leverage compiler builtin to
calculate the result directly, this approach is inspired by x86 bitops
implementation.
EFI stub runs before the kernel, so alternative mechanism should not be
used there, this patch introduces a macro NO_ALTERNATIVE for this purpose.

Michael reported soft lockups on a system that has unaccepted memory.
This occurs when a user attempts to allocate and accept memory on
multiple CPUs simultaneously.
The root cause of the issue is that memory acceptance is serialized with
a spinlock, allowing only one CPU to accept memory at a time. The other
CPUs spin and wait for their turn, leading to starvation and soft lockup
reports.
To address this, the code has been modified to release the spinlock
while accepting memory. This allows for parallel memory acceptance on
multiple CPUs.
A newly introduced "accepting_list" keeps track of which memory is
currently being accepted. This is necessary to prevent parallel
acceptance of the same memory block. If a collision occurs, the lock is
released and the process is retried.
Such collisions should rarely occur. The main path for memory acceptance
is the page allocator, which accepts memory in MAX_ORDER chunks. As long
as MAX_ORDER is equal to or larger than the unit_size, collisions will
never occur because the caller fully owns the memory block being
accepted.
Aside from the page allocator, only memblock and deferered_free_range()
accept memory, but this only happens during boot.
The code has been tested with unit_size == 128MiB to trigger collisions
and validate the retry codepath.

After the vga console no longer relies on global screen_info, there are
only two remaining use cases:
- on the x86 architecture, it is used for multiple boot methods
(bzImage, EFI, Xen, kexec) to commucate the initial VGA or framebuffer
settings to a number of device drivers.
- on other architectures, it is only used as part of the EFI stub,
and only for the three sysfb framebuffers (simpledrm, simplefb, efifb).
Remove the duplicate data structure definitions by moving it into the
efi-init.c file that sets it up initially for the EFI case, leaving x86
as an exception that retains its own definition for non-EFI boots.
The added #ifdefs here are optional, I added them to further limit the
reach of screen_info to configurations that have at least one of the
users enabled.

Note that the decompressor and the kernel proper carry conflicting

alias to work around this.

In the previous code, there was a memory leak issue where the
previously allocated memory was not freed upon a failed krealloc
operation. This patch addresses the problem by releasing the old memory
before setting the pointer to NULL in case of a krealloc failure. This
ensures that memory is properly managed and avoids potential memory
leaks.

setup_e820() is executed after UEFI's ExitBootService has been called.
This causes the firmware to throw an exception because the Console IO
protocol is supposed to work only during boot service environment. As
per UEFI 2.9, section 12.1:
"This protocol is used to handle input and output of text-based
information intended for the system user during the operation of code
in the boot services environment."
So drop the diagnostic warning from this function. We might add back a
warning that is issued later when initializing the kernel itself.
