Replace all ret/retq instructions with RET in preparation of making
RET a macro. Since AS is case insensitive it's a big no-op without
RET defined.

In order to change the {JMP,CALL}_NOSPEC macros to call out-of-line
versions of the retpoline magic, we need to remove the '%' from the
argument, such that we can paste it onto symbol names.

On x86 we need to thunk through assembler stubs to call the EFI services
for mixed mode, and for runtime services in 64-bit mode. The assembler
stubs have limits on how many arguments it handles. Introduce a few
macros to check that we do not try to pass too many arguments to the
stubs.

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.

These are all functions which are invoked from elsewhere, so annotate
them as global using the new SYM_FUNC_START and their ENDPROC's by
SYM_FUNC_END.
Make sure ENTRY/ENDPROC is not defined on X86_64, given these were the
last users.

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.

Alex Thorlton reported that the SGI/UV code crashes in the efi_call()
code when invoked with 7 parameters, due to:
mov (%rsp), %rax
mov 8(%rax), %rax
...
mov %rax, 40(%rsp)
Offset 8 is only true if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS is disabled,
with frame pointers enabled it should be 16.
Furthermore, the SAVE_XMM code saves the old stack pointer, but
that's just crazy. It saves the stack pointer *AFTER* we've done
the:
FRAME_BEGIN
... which will have *changed* the stack pointer, depending on whether
stack frames are enabled or not.
So when the code then does:
mov (%rsp), %rax
... we now move that old stack pointer into %rax, but the offset off that
stack pointer will depend on whether that FRAME_BEGIN saved off %rbp
or not.
So that whole 8-vs-16 offset confusion depends on the frame pointer!
If frame pointers were enabled, it will be 16. If they weren't, it
will be 8.
The right fix is to just get rid of that silly conditional frame
pointer thing, and always use frame pointers in this stub function.
And then we don't need that (odd) load to get the old stack
pointer into %rax - we can just use the frame pointer.

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes are:
- Use separate EFI page tables when executing EFI firmware code.
This isolates the EFI context from the rest of the kernel, which
has security and general robustness advantages. (Matt Fleming)
- Run regular UEFI firmware with interrupts enabled. This is already
the status quo under other OSs. (Ard Biesheuvel)
- Various x86 EFI enhancements, such as the use of non-executable
attributes for EFI memory mappings. (Sai Praneeth Prakhya)
- Various arm64 UEFI enhancements. (Ard Biesheuvel)
- ... various fixes and cleanups.
The separate EFI page tables feature got delayed twice already,
because it's an intrusive change and we didn't feel confident about
it - third time's the charm we hope!"

efi_call() is a callable non-leaf function which doesn't honor
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, which can result in bad stack traces.
Create a stack frame for it when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled.

This change is a prerequisite for pending patches that switch to
a dedicated EFI page table, instead of using 'trampoline_pgd'
which shares PGD entries with 'swapper_pg_dir'. The pending
patches make it impossible to dereference the runtime service
function pointer without first switching %cr3.
It's true that we now have duplicated switching code in
efi_call_virt() and efi_call_phys_{prolog,epilog}() but we are
sacrificing code duplication for a little more clarity and the
ease of writing the page table switching code in C instead of
asm.

Andy pointed out that if an NMI or MCE is received while we're in the
middle of an EFI mixed mode call a triple fault will occur. This can
happen, for example, when issuing an EFI mixed mode call while running
perf.
The reason for the triple fault is that we execute the mixed mode call
in 32-bit mode with paging disabled but with 64-bit kernel IDT handlers
installed throughout the call.
At Andy's suggestion, stop playing the games we currently do at runtime,
such as disabling paging and installing a 32-bit GDT for __KERNEL_CS. We
can simply switch to the __KERNEL32_CS descriptor before invoking
firmware services, and run in compatibility mode. This way, if an
NMI/MCE does occur the kernel IDT handler will execute correctly, since
it'll jump to __KERNEL_CS automatically.
However, this change is only possible post-ExitBootServices(). Before
then the firmware "owns" the machine and expects for its 32-bit IDT
handlers to be left intact to service interrupts, etc.
So, we now need to distinguish between early boot and runtime
invocations of EFI services. During early boot, we need to restore the
GDT that the firmware expects to be present. We can only jump to the
__KERNEL32_CS code segment for mixed mode calls after ExitBootServices()
has been invoked.
A liberal sprinkling of comments in the thunking code should make the
differences in early and late environments more apparent.

We really only need one phys and one virt function call, and then only
one assembly function to make firmware calls.
Since we are not using the C type system anyway, we're not really losing
much by deleting the macros apart from no longer having a check that
we are passing the correct number of parameters. The lack of duplicated
code seems like a worthwhile trade-off.

I was triggering a #GP(0) from userland when running with
CONFIG_EFI_MIXED and CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION, from what looked like
register corruption. Turns out that the mixed mode code was trashing the
contents of %ds, %es and %ss in __efi64_thunk().
Save and restore the contents of these segment registers across the call
to __efi64_thunk() so that we don't corrupt the CPU context.

Some firmware appears to enable interrupts during boot service calls,
even if we've explicitly disabled them prior to the call. This is
actually allowed per the UEFI spec because boottime services expect to
be called with interrupts enabled.
So that's fine, we just need to ensure that we disable them again in
efi_enter32() before switching to a 64-bit GDT, otherwise an interrupt
may fire causing a 32-bit IRQ handler to run after we've left
compatibility mode.
Despite efi_enter32() being called both for boottime and runtime
services, this really only affects boottime because the runtime services
callchain is executed with interrupts disabled. See efi_thunk().

Setup the runtime services based on whether we're booting in EFI native
mode or not. For non-native mode we need to thunk from 64-bit into
32-bit mode before invoking the EFI runtime services.
Using the runtime services after SetVirtualAddressMap() is slightly more
complicated because we need to ensure that all the addresses we pass to
the firmware are below the 4GB boundary so that they can be addressed
with 32-bit pointers, see efi_setup_page_tables().

Implement the transition code to go from IA32e mode to protected mode in
the EFI boot stub. This is required to use 32-bit EFI services from a
64-bit kernel.
Since EFI boot stub is executed in an identity-mapped region, there's
not much we need to do before invoking the 32-bit EFI boot services.
However, we do reload the firmware's global descriptor table
(efi32_boot_gdt) in case things like timer events are still running in
the firmware.

We map the EFI regions needed for runtime services non-contiguously,
with preserved alignment on virtual addresses starting from -4G down
for a total max space of 64G. This way, we provide for stable runtime
services addresses across kernels so that a kexec'd kernel can still use
them.
Thus, they're mapped in a separate pagetable so that we don't pollute
the kernel namespace.
Add an efi= kernel command line parameter for passing miscellaneous
options and chicken bits from the command line.
While at it, add a chicken bit called "efi=old_map" which can be used as
a fallback to the old runtime services mapping method in case there's
some b0rkage with a particular EFI implementation (haha, it is hard to
hold up the sarcasm here...).
Also, add the UEFI RT VA space to Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt.
