arm64: efi: Force the use of SetVirtualAddressMap() on Altra machines

2022-11-10T22:14:14Z

Ampere Altra machines are reported to misbehave when the SetTime() EFI runtime service is called after ExitBootServices() but before calling SetVirtualAddressMap(). Given that the latter is horrid, pointless and explicitly documented as optional by the EFI spec, we no longer invoke it at boot if the configured size of the VA space guarantees that the EFI runtime memory regions can remain mapped 1:1 like they are at boot time. On Ampere Altra machines, this results in SetTime() calls issued by the rtc-efi driver triggering synchronous exceptions during boot. We can now recover from those without bringing down the system entirely, due to commit 23715a26c8d81291 ("arm64: efi: Recover from synchronous exceptions occurring in firmware"). However, it would be better to avoid the issue entirely, given that the firmware appears to remain in a funny state after this. So attempt to identify these machines based on the 'family' field in the type #1 SMBIOS record, and call SetVirtualAddressMap() unconditionally in that case.

efi: random: Use 'ACPI reclaim' memory for random seed

2022-10-24T08:23:28Z

EFI runtime services data is guaranteed to be preserved by the OS, making it a suitable candidate for the EFI random seed table, which may be passed to kexec kernels as well (after refreshing the seed), and so we need to ensure that the memory is preserved without support from the OS itself. However, runtime services data is intended for allocations that are relevant to the implementations of the runtime services themselves, and so they are unmapped from the kernel linear map, and mapped into the EFI page tables that are active while runtime service invocations are in progress. None of this is needed for the RNG seed. So let's switch to EFI 'ACPI reclaim' memory: in spite of the name, there is nothing exclusively ACPI about it, it is simply a type of allocation that carries firmware provided data which may or may not be relevant to the OS, and it is left up to the OS to decide whether to reclaim it after having consumed its contents. Given that in Linux, we never reclaim these allocations, it is a good choice for the EFI RNG seed, as the allocation is guaranteed to survive kexec reboots. One additional reason for changing this now is to align it with the upcoming recommendation for EFI bootloader provided RNG seeds, which must not use EFI runtime services code/data allocations.

efi: runtime: Don't assume virtual mappings are missing if VA == PA == 0

2022-10-21T09:09:41Z

The generic EFI stub can be instructed to avoid SetVirtualAddressMap(), and simply run with the firmware's 1:1 mapping. In this case, it populates the virtual address fields of the runtime regions in the memory map with the physical address of each region, so that the mapping code has to be none the wiser. Only if SetVirtualAddressMap() fails, the virtual addresses are wiped and the kernel code knows that the regions cannot be mapped. However, wiping amounts to setting it to zero, and if a runtime region happens to live at physical address 0, its valid 1:1 mapped virtual address could be mistaken for a wiped field, resulting on loss of access to the EFI services at runtime. So let's only assume that VA == 0 means 'no runtime services' if the region in question does not live at PA 0x0. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

efi: libstub: Fix incorrect payload size in zboot header

2022-10-21T09:09:41Z

The linker script symbol definition that captures the size of the compressed payload inside the zboot decompressor (which is exposed via the image header) refers to '.' for the end of the region, which does not give the correct result as the expression is not placed at the end of the payload. So use the symbol name explicitly. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

efi: libstub: Give efi_main() asmlinkage qualification

2022-10-21T09:09:40Z

To stop the bots from sending sparse warnings to me and the list about efi_main() not having a prototype, decorate it with asmlinkage so that it is clear that it is called from assembly, and therefore needs to remain external, even if it is never declared in a header file.

efi: libstub: Remove zboot signing from build options

2022-10-21T09:09:40Z

The zboot decompressor series introduced a feature to sign the PE/COFF kernel image for secure boot as part of the kernel build. This was necessary because there are actually two images that need to be signed: the kernel with the EFI stub attached, and the decompressor application. This is a bit of a burden, because it means that the images must be signed on the the same system that performs the build, and this is not realistic for distros. During the next cycle, we will introduce changes to the zboot code so that the inner image no longer needs to be signed. This means that the outer PE/COFF image can be handled as usual, and be signed later in the release process. Let's remove the associated Kconfig options now so that they don't end up in a LTS release while already being deprecated. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that). - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock contention. Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees. Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up. - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down to the single bit level. KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones. - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of memory into THPs. - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to support file/shmem-backed pages. - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and memory-failure - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages. - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced memory consumption. - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song. - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner. - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :( - migration enhancements from Peter Xu - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory tiering promotion paths.

Pull EFI updates from Ard Biesheuvel: "A bit more going on than usual in the EFI subsystem. The main driver for this has been the introduction of the LoonArch architecture last cycle, which inspired some cleanup and refactoring of the EFI code. Another driver for EFI changes this cycle and in the future is confidential compute. The LoongArch architecture does not use either struct bootparams or DT natively [yet], and so passing information between the EFI stub and the core kernel using either of those is undesirable. And in general, overloading DT has been a source of issues on arm64, so using DT for this on new architectures is a to avoid for the time being (even if we might converge on something DT based for non-x86 architectures in the future). For this reason, in addition to the patch that enables EFI boot for LoongArch, there are a number of refactoring patches applied on top of which separate the DT bits from the generic EFI stub bits. These changes are on a separate topich branch that has been shared with the LoongArch maintainers, who will include it in their pull request as well. This is not ideal, but the best way to manage the conflicts without stalling LoongArch for another cycle. Another development inspired by LoongArch is the newly added support for EFI based decompressors. Instead of adding yet another arch-specific incarnation of this pattern for LoongArch, we are introducing an EFI app based on the existing EFI libstub infrastructure that encapulates the decompression code we use on other architectures, but in a way that is fully generic. This has been developed and tested in collaboration with distro and systemd folks, who are eager to start using this for systemd-boot and also for arm64 secure boot on Fedora. Note that the EFI zimage files this introduces can also be decompressed by non-EFI bootloaders if needed, as the image header describes the location of the payload inside the image, and the type of compression that was used. (Note that Fedora's arm64 GRUB is buggy [0] so you'll need a recent version or switch to systemd-boot in order to use this.) Finally, we are adding TPM measurement of the kernel command line provided by EFI. There is an oversight in the TCG spec which results in a blind spot for command line arguments passed to loaded images, which means that either the loader or the stub needs to take the measurement. Given the combinatorial explosion I am anticipating when it comes to firmware/bootloader stacks and firmware based attestation protocols (SEV-SNP, TDX, DICE, DRTM), it is good to set a baseline now when it comes to EFI measured boot, which is that the kernel measures the initrd and command line. Intermediate loaders can measure additional assets if needed, but with the baseline in place, we can deploy measured boot in a meaningful way even if you boot into Linux straight from the EFI firmware. Summary: - implement EFI boot support for LoongArch - implement generic EFI compressed boot support for arm64, RISC-V and LoongArch, none of which implement a decompressor today - measure the kernel command line into the TPM if measured boot is in effect - refactor the EFI stub code in order to isolate DT dependencies for architectures other than x86 - avoid calling SetVirtualAddressMap() on arm64 if the configured size of the VA space guarantees that doing so is unnecessary - move some ARM specific code out of the generic EFI source files - unmap kernel code from the x86 mixed mode 1:1 page tables" * tag 'efi-next-for-v6.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi: (24 commits) efi/arm64: libstub: avoid SetVirtualAddressMap() when possible efi: zboot: create MemoryMapped() device path for the parent if needed efi: libstub: fix up the last remaining open coded boot service call efi/arm: libstub: move ARM specific code out of generic routines efi/libstub: measure EFI LoadOptions efi/libstub: refactor the initrd measuring functions efi/loongarch: libstub: remove dependency on flattened DT efi: libstub: install boot-time memory map as config table efi: libstub: remove DT dependency from generic stub efi: libstub: unify initrd loading between architectures efi: libstub: remove pointless goto kludge efi: libstub: simplify efi_get_memory_map() and struct efi_boot_memmap efi: libstub: avoid efi_get_memory_map() for allocating the virt map efi: libstub: drop pointless get_memory_map() call efi: libstub: fix type confusion for load_options_size arm64: efi: enable generic EFI compressed boot loongarch: efi: enable generic EFI compressed boot riscv: efi: enable generic EFI compressed boot efi/libstub: implement generic EFI zboot efi/libstub: move efi_system_table global var into separate object ...
