efi: Expose non-blocking set_variable() wrapper to efivars

2016-05-04T21:48:49+00:00

commit 9c6672ac9c91f7eb1ec436be1442b8c26d098e55 upstream.

Commit 6d80dba1c9fe ("efi: Provide a non-blocking SetVariable()
operation") implemented a non-blocking alternative for the UEFI
SetVariable() invocation performed by efivars, since it may
occur in atomic context. However, this version of the function
was never exposed via the efivars struct, so the non-blocking
versions was not actually callable. Fix that.

efi: Fix out-of-bounds read in variable_matches()

2016-05-04T21:48:48+00:00

commit 630ba0cc7a6dbafbdee43795617c872b35cde1b4 upstream.

The variable_matches() function can currently read "var_name[len]", for
example when:

 - var_name[0] == 'a',
 - len == 1
 - match_name points to the NUL-terminated string "ab".

This function is supposed to accept "var_name" inputs that are not
NUL-terminated (hence the "len" parameter"). Document the function, and
access "var_name[*match]" only if "*match" is smaller than "len".

efi: Add pstore variables to the deletion whitelist

2016-03-03T23:07:09+00:00

commit e246eb568bc4cbbdd8a30a3c11151ff9b7ca7312 upstream.

Laszlo explains why this is a good idea,

 'This is because the pstore filesystem can be backed by UEFI variables,
  and (for example) a crash might dump the last kilobytes of the dmesg
  into a number of pstore entries, each entry backed by a separate UEFI
  variable in the above GUID namespace, and with a variable name
  according to the above pattern.

  Please see "drivers/firmware/efi/efi-pstore.c".

  While this patch series will not prevent the user from deleting those
  UEFI variables via the pstore filesystem (i.e., deleting a pstore fs
  entry will continue to delete the backing UEFI variable), I think it
  would be nice to preserve the possibility for the sysadmin to delete
  Linux-created UEFI variables that carry portions of the crash log,
  *without* having to mount the pstore filesystem.'

There's also no chance of causing machines to become bricked by
deleting these variables, which is the whole purpose of excluding
things from the whitelist.

Use the LINUX_EFI_CRASH_GUID guid and a wildcard '*' for the match so
that we don't have to update the string in the future if new variable
name formats are created for crash dump variables.

efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default

2016-03-03T23:07:09+00:00

commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 upstream.

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

efi: Make our variable validation list include the guid

2016-03-03T23:07:09+00:00

commit 8282f5d9c17fe15a9e658c06e3f343efae1a2a2f upstream.

All the variables in this list so far are defined to be in the global
namespace in the UEFI spec, so this just further ensures we're
validating the variables we think we are.

Including the guid for entries will become more important in future
patches when we decide whether or not to allow deletion of variables
based on presence in this list.

efi: Do variable name validation tests in utf8

commit 3dcb1f55dfc7631695e69df4a0d589ce5274bd07 upstream.

Actually translate from ucs2 to utf8 before doing the test, and then
test against our other utf8 data, instead of fudging it.

commit e0d64e6a880e64545ad7d55786aa84ab76bac475 upstream.

Translate EFI's UCS-2 variable names to UTF-8 instead of just assuming
all variable names fit in ASCII.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - "genirq: Introduce generic irq migration for cpu hotunplugged" patch
   merged from tip/irq/for-arm to allow the arm64-specific part to be
   upstreamed via the arm64 tree

 - CPU feature detection reworked to cope with heterogeneous systems
   where CPUs may not have exactly the same features.  The features
   reported by the kernel via internal data structures or ELF_HWCAP are
   delayed until all the CPUs are up (and before user space starts)

 - Support for 16KB pages, with the additional bonus of a 36-bit VA
   space, though the latter only depending on EXPERT

 - Implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics for arm64

 - New ASID allocation algorithm which avoids IPI on roll-over, together
   with TLB invalidation optimisations (using local vs global where
   feasible)

 - KASan support for arm64

 - EFI_STUB clean-up and isolation for the kernel proper (required by
   KASan)

 - copy_{to,from,in}_user optimisations (sharing the memcpy template)

 - perf: moving arm64 to the arm32/64 shared PMU framework

 - L1_CACHE_BYTES increased to 128 to accommodate Cavium hardware

 - Support for the contiguous PTE hint on kernel mapping (16 consecutive
   entries may be able to use a single TLB entry)

 - Generic CONFIG_HZ now used on arm64

 - defconfig updates
