x86/efi: Drop support for fake EFI memory maps

2024-07-01T22:26:24+00:00

Between kexec and confidential VM support, handling the EFI memory maps
correctly on x86 is already proving to be rather difficult (as opposed
to other EFI architectures which manage to never modify the EFI memory
map to begin with)

EFI fake memory map support is essentially a development hack (for
testing new support for the 'special purpose' and 'more reliable' EFI
memory attributes) that leaked into production code. The regions marked
in this manner are not actually recognized as such by the firmware
itself or the EFI stub (and never have), and marking memory as 'more
reliable' seems rather futile if the underlying memory is just ordinary
RAM.

Marking memory as 'special purpose' in this way is also dubious, but may
be in use in production code nonetheless. However, the same should be
achievable by using the memmap= command line option with the ! operator.

EFI fake memmap support is not enabled by any of the major distros
(Debian, Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu) and does not exist on other
architectures, so let's drop support for it.

efi: x86: Move EFI runtime map sysfs code to arch/x86

2022-11-18T08:14:09+00:00

The EFI runtime map code is only wired up on x86, which is the only
architecture that has a need for it in its implementation of kexec.

So let's move this code under arch/x86 and drop all references to it
from generic code. To ensure that the efi_runtime_map_init() is invoked
at the appropriate time use a 'sync' subsys_initcall() that will be
called right after the EFI initcall made from generic code where the
original invocation of efi_runtime_map_init() resided.

efi: memmap: Move manipulation routines into x86 arch tree

2022-11-18T08:14:09+00:00

The EFI memory map is a description of the memory layout as provided by
the firmware, and only x86 manipulates it in various different ways for
its own memory bookkeeping. So let's move the memmap routines that are
only used by x86 into the x86 arch tree.

efi: memmap: Move EFI fake memmap support into x86 arch tree

2022-11-18T08:14:09+00:00

The EFI fake memmap support is specific to x86, which manipulates the
EFI memory map in various different ways after receiving it from the EFI
stub. On other architectures, we have managed to push back on this, and
the EFI memory map is kept pristine.

So let's move the fake memmap code into the x86 arch tree, where it
arguably belongs.

objtool,efi: Update __efi64_thunk annotation

2022-03-15T09:32:32+00:00

The current annotation relies on not running objtool on the file; this
won't work when running objtool on vmlinux.o. Instead explicitly mark
__efi64_thunk() to be ignored.

This preserves the status quo, which is somewhat unfortunate. Luckily
this code is hardly ever used.

efi/x86: Disable instrumentation in the EFI runtime handling code

2020-01-25T09:14:37+00:00

We already disable KASAN instrumentation specifically for the
EFI routines that are known to dereference memory addresses that
KASAN does not know about, avoiding false positive KASAN splats.

However, as it turns out, having GCOV or KASAN instrumentation enabled
interferes with the compiler's ability to optimize away function calls
that are guarded by IS_ENABLED() checks that should have resulted in
those references to have been const-propagated out of existence. But
with instrumenation enabled, we may get build errors like:

   ld: arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.o: in function `efi_thunk_set_virtual_address_map':
   ld: arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.o: in function `efi_set_virtual_address_map':

in builds where CONFIG_EFI=y but CONFIG_EFI_MIXED or CONFIG_X86_UV are not
defined, even though the invocations are conditional on IS_ENABLED() checks
against the respective Kconfig symbols.

So let's disable instrumentation entirely for this subdirectory, which
isn't that useful here to begin with.

efi/x86: Simplify 64-bit EFI firmware call wrapper

2020-01-10T17:55:02+00:00

The efi_call() wrapper used to invoke EFI runtime services serves
a number of purposes:
- realign the stack to 16 bytes
- preserve FP and CR0 register state
- translate from SysV to MS calling convention.

Preserving CR0.TS is no longer necessary in Linux, and preserving the
FP register state is also redundant in most cases, since efi_call() is
almost always used from within the scope of a pair of kernel_fpu_begin()/
kernel_fpu_end() calls, with the exception of the early call to
SetVirtualAddressMap() and the SGI UV support code.

So let's add a pair of kernel_fpu_begin()/_end() calls there as well,
and remove the unnecessary code from the assembly implementation of
efi_call(), and only keep the pieces that deal with the stack
alignment and the ABI translation.

efi/x86: Convert x86 EFI earlyprintk into generic earlycon implementation

2019-02-04T07:27:30+00:00

Move the x86 EFI earlyprintk implementation to a shared location under
drivers/firmware and tweak it slightly so we can expose it as an earlycon
implementation (which is generic) rather than earlyprintk (which is only
implemented for a few architectures)

This also involves switching to write-combine mappings by default (which
is required on ARM since device mappings lack memory semantics, and so
memcpy/memset may not be used on them), and adding support for shared
memory framebuffers on cache coherent non-x86 systems (which do not
tolerate mismatched attributes).

Note that 32-bit ARM does not populate its struct screen_info early
enough for earlycon=efifb to work, so it is disabled there.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

objtool, x86: Add several functions and files to the objtool whitelist

2017-06-30T08:19:19+00:00

In preparation for an objtool rewrite which will have broader checks,
whitelist functions and files which cause problems because they do
unusual things with the stack.

These whitelists serve as a TODO list for which functions and files
don't yet have undwarf unwinder coverage.  Eventually most of the
whitelists can be removed in favor of manual CFI hint annotations or
objtool improvements.
