0b94d72798 x86, efivars: firmware bug workarounds should be in platform code
commit a6e4d5a03e upstream.

Let's not burden ia64 with checks in the common efivars code that we're not
writing too much data to the variable store. That kind of thing is an x86
firmware bug, plain and simple.

efi_query_variable_store() provides platforms with a wrapper in which they can
perform checks and workarounds for EFI variable storage bugs.

b28299b42d efi_pstore: Introducing workqueue updating sysfs
commit a93bc0c6e0 upstream.

[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.

026f0287cd efivars: Add module parameter to disable use as a pstore backend
commit ec0971ba53 upstream.

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).

f6a087af82 efivars: Allow disabling use as a pstore backend
commit ed9dc8ce7a upstream.

Add a new option, CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE, which can be set to N to
avoid using efivars as a backend to pstore, as some users may want to
compile out the code completely.

Set the default to Y to maintain backwards compatability, since this
feature has always been enabled until now.

1c4e6e91fe efivars: pstore: Do not check size when erasing variable
commit 80a19debc2f2d398cfa57fae97bc99826748a602 upstream.

In 3.2, unlike mainline, efi_pstore_erase() calls efi_pstore_write()
with a size of 0, as the underlying EFI interface treats a size of 0
as meaning deletion.

This was not taken into account in my backport of commit d80a361d77
'efi_pstore: Check remaining space with QueryVariableInfo() before
writing data'.  The size check should be omitted when erasing.

e887bb41a1 efi: be more paranoid about available space when creating variables
commit 68d929862e upstream.

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.

ff534f031a efivars: Disable external interrupt while holding efivars->lock
commit 81fa4e581d upstream.

[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.

8e74ecf7da efi_pstore: Check remaining space with QueryVariableInfo() before writing data
commit d80a361d77 upstream.

[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.

4025b05599 efivars: Handle duplicate names from get_next_variable()

Some firmware exhibits a bug where the same VariableName and
VendorGuid values are returned on multiple invocations of
GetNextVariableName(). See,

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47631

As a consequence of such a bug, Andre reports hitting the following

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.

[Backported for 3.4-stable. Removed code related to pstore
workqueue but pulled in helper function variable_is_present
from a93bc0c; Moved the definition of __efivars to the top
for being referenced in variable_is_present.]

5c44dddefa efivars: explicitly calculate length of VariableName
commit ec50bd32f1 upstream.

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
  > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/dbxDefault-pport8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c

  > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/SetupMode-Information8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c

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.

[Backported for 3.8-stable. Removed workqueue code added in
a93bc0c 3.9-rc1.]

Commit 9f9c9cbb60 ("drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: fetch dmi version

dmi_scan_machine(), which means that we don't bother to check for
"_DMI_" at offset 16 in an SMBIOS entry.  smbios_present() may also call
dmi_present() for an address where we found "_SM_", if it failed further
validation.

Check for "_DMI_" in smbios_present() before calling dmi_present().

739230186f efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities
commit 83e6818974 upstream.

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.

b88532f7ef drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: fetch dmi version from SMBIOS if it exists
commit 9f9c9cbb60 upstream.

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.

603cb88c3a pcdp: use early_ioremap/early_iounmap to access pcdp table
commit 6c4088ac3a upstream.

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:

    panic+0x01ca
    do_exit+0x043c
    oops_end+0x00a7
    no_context+0x0119
    __bad_area_nosemaphore+0x0138
    bad_area_nosemaphore+0x000e
    do_page_fault+0x0321
    page_fault+0x0020
    reserve_memtype+0x02a1
    __ioremap_caller+0x0123
    ioremap_nocache+0x0012
    efi_setup_pcdp_console+0x002b

    start_kernel+0x00d4
    x86_64_start_reservations+0x012c
    x86_64_start_kernel+0x00fe

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.

fec6c20b57 efi: Validate UEFI boot variables
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.

935a9fee51 ibft: Fix finding IBFT ACPI table on UEFI
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.
-v3: fix problem about module use case that is found by Konrad.
-v4: use acpi_get_table() instead of acpi_table_parse() to handle module use case that is found by Konrad again..

40216ce7aa ASoC: Move SigmaDSP firmware loader to ASoC
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 SigmaDSP firmware loader currently does not perform enough boundary size

This patch adds checks which ensure that both the action header and the payload
are completely inside the firmware data boundaries before processing them.

This allows a backend to filter on the dmesg reason as well as the pstore
reason. When ramoops is switched to pstore, this is needed since it has
no interest in storing non-crash dmesg details.

Drop pstore_write() as it has no users, and handling the "reason" here
has no obviously correct value.

f6f8285132 pstore: pass allocated memory region back to caller
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.

66e13e66b6 drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: make dmi_name_in_vendors more focused
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".

afd605f683 drivers/firmware: Add module.h to google/gsmi.c
This file really needs the full module.h header file present, but
was just getting it implicitly before.  Fix it up in advance so we
avoid build failures once the cleanup commit is present.

044aceef33 [SCSI] edd: Treat "XPRS" host bus type the same as "PCI"
PCI Express devices will return "XPRS" host bus type during BIOS EDD
call.  "XPRS" should be treated just like "PCI" so that the proper
pci_dev symlink will be created.  Scripts such as fcoe_edd.sh will
then work correctly.

b238b8fa93 pstore: make pstore write function return normal success/fail value
Currently pstore write interface employs record id as return
value, but it is not enough because it can't tell caller if
the write operation is successful. Pass the record id back via
an argument pointer and return zero for success, non-zero for
failure.

abd4d5587b pstore: change mutex locking to spin_locks
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.
