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.

commit e0d64e6a880e64545ad7d55786aa84ab76bac475 upstream.

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

Some buggy firmware implementations update VariableNameSize on success
such that it does not include the final NUL character which results in
garbage in the efivarfs name entries.  Use kzalloc on the efivar_entry
(as is done in efivars.c) to ensure that the name is always
NUL-terminated.

The buggy firmware is:

<title>efivarfs: Allow unloading when build as module</title>

There is no need to keep the module loaded when it serves no function in
case the EFI runtime services are disabled. Return an error in this case
so loading the module will fail.

Also supply a module_exit function to allow unloading the module.

Last, but not least, set the owner of the file_system_type struct.

Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or
only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry-&gt;d_sb).
A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry-&gt;d_inode -
the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with
NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply
treated as cache miss.
