efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities

2013-02-14T18:48:53+00:00

commit 83e68189745ad931c2afd45d8ee3303929233e7f 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.

drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: fetch dmi version from SMBIOS if it exists

2013-01-28T04:47:44+00:00

commit 9f9c9cbb60576a1518d0bf93fb8e499cffccf377 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.

drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: check dmi version when get system uuid

2013-01-28T04:47:44+00:00

commit f1d8e614d74b09531b9a85e812485340f3df7b1c upstream.

As of version 2.6 of the SMBIOS specification, the first 3 fields of the
UUID are supposed to be little-endian encoded.

Also a minor fix to match variable meaning and mute checkpatch.pl

firmware: Add missing attributes to EFI variable attribute print out from sysfs

2012-10-07T15:32:26+00:00

commit 7083909023bbe29b3176e92d2d089def1aa7aa1e upstream.

Some of the EFI variable attributes are missing from print out from
/sys/firmware/efi/vars/*/attributes. This patch adds those in. It also
updates code to use pre-defined constants for masking current value
of attributes.

pcdp: use early_ioremap/early_iounmap to access pcdp table

2012-08-15T15:10:05+00:00

commit 6c4088ac3a4d82779903433bcd5f048c58fb1aca 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
    setup_arch+0x03a9
    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.

efivars: Improve variable validation

2012-05-04T00:19:19+00:00

Ben Hutchings pointed out that the validation in efivars was inadequate -
most obviously, an entry with size 0 would server as a DoS against the
kernel. Improve this based on his suggestions.

efi: Validate UEFI boot variables

2012-04-30T22:30:18+00:00

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.
