We currently allow invocation of 8 boot services with efi_call_early().
Not included are LocateHandleBuffer and LocateProtocol in particular.
For graphics output or to retrieve PCI ROMs and Apple device properties,
we're thus forced to use the LocateHandle + AllocatePool + LocateHandle
combo, which is cumbersome and needs more code.
The ARM folks allow invocation of the full set of boot services but are
restricted to our 8 boot services in functions shared across arches.
Thus, rather than adding just LocateHandleBuffer and LocateProtocol to
struct efi_config, let's rework efi_call_early() to allow invocation of
arbitrary boot services by selecting the 64 bit vs 32 bit code path in
the macro itself.
When compiling for 32 bit or for 64 bit without mixed mode, the unused
code path is optimized away and the binary code is the same as before.
But on 64 bit with mixed mode enabled, this commit adds one compare
instruction to each invocation of a boot service and, depending on the
code path selected, two jump instructions. (Most of the time gcc
arranges the jumps in the 32 bit code path.) The result is a minuscule
performance penalty and the binary code becomes slightly larger and more
difficult to read when disassembled. This isn't a hot path, so these
drawbacks are arguably outweighed by the attainable simplification of
the C code. We have some overhead anyway for thunking or conversion
between calling conventions.
The 8 boot services can consequently be removed from struct efi_config.
No functional change intended (for now).
Example -- invocation of free_pool before (64 bit code path):
0x2d4 movq %ds:efi_early, %rdx ; efi_early
0x2db movq %ss:arg_0-0x20(%rsp), %rsi
0x2e0 xorl %eax, %eax
0x2e2 movq %ds:0x28(%rdx), %rdi ; efi_early->free_pool
0x2e6 callq *%ds:0x58(%rdx) ; efi_early->call()
Example -- invocation of free_pool after (64 / 32 bit mixed code path):
0x0dc movq %ds:efi_early, %rax ; efi_early
0x0e3 cmpb $0, %ds:0x28(%rax) ; !efi_early->is64 ?
0x0e7 movq %ds:0x20(%rax), %rdx ; efi_early->call()
0x0eb movq %ds:0x10(%rax), %rax ; efi_early->boot_services
0x0ef je $0x150
0x0f1 movq %ds:0x48(%rax), %rdi ; free_pool (64 bit)
0x0f5 xorl %eax, %eax
0x0f7 callq *%rdx
...
0x150 movl %ds:0x30(%rax), %edi ; free_pool (32 bit)

Commit 2c23b73c2d02 ("x86/efi: Prepare GOP handling code for reuse
as generic code") introduced an efi_is_64bit() macro to x86 which
previously only existed for arm arches. The macro is used to
choose between the 64 bit or 32 bit code path in gop.c at runtime.
However the code path that's going to be taken is known at compile
time when compiling for x86_32 or for x86_64 with mixed mode disabled.
Amend the macro to eliminate the unused code path in those cases.

* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus reuse the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
* Replace the specification of a data type by a pointer dereference
to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to

Currently, memory regions are only recorded in the memblock memory table
if they have the EFI_MEMORY_WB memory type attribute set. In case the
region is of a reserved type, it is also marked as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP, which
will leave it out of the linear mapping.
However, memory regions may legally have the EFI_MEMORY_WT or EFI_MEMORY_WC
attributes set, and the EFI_MEMORY_WB cleared, in which case the region in
question is obviously backed by normal memory, but is not recorded in the
memblock memory table at all. Since it would be useful to be able to
identify any UEFI reported memory region using memblock_is_memory(), it
makes sense to add all memory to the memblock memory table, and simply mark
it as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP if it lacks the EFI_MEMORY_WB attribute.
While implementing this, let's refactor the code slightly to make it easier
to understand: replace is_normal_ram() with is_memory(), and make it return
true for each region that has any of the WB|WT|WC bits set. (This follows
the AArch64 bindings in the UEFI spec, which state that those are the
attributes that map to normal memory)
Also, replace is_reserve_region() with is_usable_memory(), and only invoke
it if the region in question was identified as memory by is_memory() in the
first place. The net result is the same (only reserved regions that are
backed by memory end up in the memblock memory table with the MEMBLOCK_NOMAP
flag set) but carried out in a more straightforward way.
Finally, we remove the trailing asterisk in the EFI debug output. Keeping it
clutters the code, and it serves no real purpose now that we no longer
temporarily reserve BootServices code and data regions like we did in the
early days of EFI support on arm64 Linux (which it inherited from the x86
implementation)

Commit 7b02d53e7852 ("efi: Allow drivers to reserve boot services forever")
introduced a new efi_mem_reserve to reserve the boot services memory
regions forever. This reservation involves allocating a new EFI memory
range descriptor. However, allocation can only succeed if there is memory
available for the allocation. Otherwise, error such as the following may
occur:

This situation can be avoided if we call efi_esrt_init after memblock has
memory regions for the allocation.
Also, the EFI ESRT driver makes use of early_memremap'pings. Therfore, we
do not want to defer efi_esrt_init for too long. We must call such function
while calls to early_memremap are still valid.
A good place to meet the two aforementioned conditions is right after
memblock_x86_fill, grouped with other EFI-related functions.

This is a simple change to add in the physical mappings as well as the
virtual mappings in efi_map_region_fixed. The motivation here is to
get access to EFI runtime code that is only available via the 1:1
mappings on a kexec'd kernel.
The added call is essentially the kexec analog of the first __map_region
that Boris put in efi_map_region in commit d2f7cbe7b26a ("x86/efi:
Runtime services virtual mapping").

The purpose of the efi_runtime_lock is to prevent concurrent calls into
the firmware. There is no need to use spinlocks here, as long as we ensure
that runtime service invocations from an atomic context (i.e., EFI pstore)
cannot block.
So use a semaphore instead, and use down_trylock() in the nonblocking case.
We don't use a mutex here because the mutex_trylock() function must not
be called from interrupt context, whereas the down_trylock() can.

All efivars operations are protected by a spinlock which prevents
interruptions and preemption. This is too restricted, we just need a
lock preventing concurrency.
The idea is to use a semaphore of count 1 and to have two ways of
locking, depending on the context:
- In interrupt context, we call down_trylock(), if it fails we return
an error
- In normal context, we call down_interruptible()
We don't use a mutex here because the mutex_trylock() function must not
be called from interrupt context, whereas the down_trylock() can.

On ARM and arm64, ioremap() and memremap() are not interchangeable like
on x86, and the use of ioremap() on ordinary RAM is typically flagged
as an error if the memory region being mapped is also covered by the
linear mapping, since that would lead to aliases with conflicting
cacheability attributes.
Since what we are dealing with is not an I/O region with side effects,
using ioremap() here is arguably incorrect anyway, so let's replace
it with memremap() instead.

efi_mem_reserve() allows us to permanently mark EFI boot services
regions as reserved, which means we no longer need to copy the image
data out and into a separate buffer.
Leaving the data in the original boot services region has the added

Today, it is not possible for drivers to reserve EFI boot services for
access after efi_free_boot_services() has been called on x86. For
ARM/arm64 it can be done simply by calling memblock_reserve().
Having this ability for all three architectures is desirable for a
couple of reasons,
1) It saves drivers copying data out of those regions
2) kexec reboot can now make use of things like ESRT
Instead of using the standard memblock_reserve() which is insufficient
to reserve the region on x86 (see efi_reserve_boot_services()), a new
API is introduced in this patch; efi_mem_reserve().
efi.memmap now always represents which EFI memory regions are
available. On x86 the EFI boot services regions that have not been
reserved via efi_mem_reserve() will be removed from efi.memmap during
efi_free_boot_services().
This has implications for kexec, since it is not possible for a newly
kexec'd kernel to access the same boot services regions that the
initial boot kernel had access to unless they are reserved by every
kexec kernel in the chain.

While efi_memmap_init_{early,late}() exist for architecture code to
install memory maps from firmware data and for the virtual memory
regions respectively, drivers don't care which stage of the boot we're

efi_memmap_install() abstracts the details of how the new memory map
should be mapped and the existing one unmapped.

Drivers need a way to access the EFI memory map at runtime. ARM and
arm64 currently provide this by remapping the EFI memory map into the
vmalloc space before setting up the EFI virtual mappings.
x86 does not provide this functionality which has resulted in the code
in efi_mem_desc_lookup() where it will manually map individual EFI
memmap entries if the memmap has already been torn down on x86,
/*
* If a driver calls this after efi_free_boot_services,
* ->map will be NULL, and the target may also not be mapped.
* So just always get our own virtual map on the CPU.
*
*/
md = early_memremap(p, sizeof (*md));
There isn't a good reason for not providing a permanent EFI memory map
for runtime queries, especially since the EFI regions are not mapped
into the standard kernel page tables.

Every EFI architecture apart from ia64 needs to setup the EFI memory
map at efi.memmap, and the code for doing that is essentially the same
across all implementations. Therefore, it makes sense to factor this
out into the common code under drivers/firmware/efi/.
The only slight variation is the data structure out of which we pull
the initial memory map information, such as physical address, memory
descriptor size and version, etc. We can address this by passing a
generic data structure (struct efi_memory_map_data) as the argument to
efi_memmap_init_early() which contains the minimum info required for
initialising the memory map.
In the process, this patch also fixes a few undesirable implementation
differences:
- ARM and arm64 were failing to clear the EFI_MEMMAP bit when
unmapping the early EFI memory map. EFI_MEMMAP indicates whether
the EFI memory map is mapped (not the regions contained within) and
can be traversed. It's more correct to set the bit as soon as we
memremap() the passed in EFI memmap.
- Rename efi_unmmap_memmap() to efi_memmap_unmap() to adhere to the
regular naming scheme.
This patch also uses a read-write mapping for the memory map instead
of the read-only mapping currently used on ARM and arm64. x86 needs
the ability to update the memory map in-place when assigning virtual
addresses to regions (efi_map_region()) and tagging regions when
reserving boot services (efi_reserve_boot_services()).
There's no way for the generic fake_mem code to know which mapping to
use without introducing some arch-specific constant/hook, so just use
read-write since read-only is of dubious value for the EFI memory map.

EFI regions are currently mapped in two separate places. The bulk of
the work is done in efi_map_regions() but when CONFIG_EFI_MIXED is
enabled the additional regions that are required when operating in
mixed mode are mapping in efi_setup_page_tables().
Pull everything into efi_map_regions() and refactor the test for
which regions should be mapped into a should_map_region() function.
Generously sprinkle comments to clarify the different cases.

Both efi_find_mirror() and efi_fake_memmap() really want to know
whether the EFI memory map is available, not just whether the machine
was booted using EFI. efi_fake_memmap() even has a check for
EFI_MEMMAP at the start of the function.
Since we've already got other code that has this dependency, merge
everything under one if() conditional, and remove the now superfluous
check from efi_fake_memmap().

The spec allows ExitBootServices to fail with EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER if a
race condition has occurred where the EFI has updated the memory map after
the stub grabbed a reference to the map. The spec defines a retry
proceedure with specific requirements to handle this scenario.
This scenario was previously observed on x86 - commit d3768d885c6c ("x86,
efi: retry ExitBootServices() on failure") but the current fix is not spec
compliant and the scenario is now observed on the Qualcomm Technologies
QDF2432 via the FDT stub which does not handle the error and thus causes
boot failures. The user will notice the boot failure as the kernel is not
executed and the system may drop back to a UEFI shell, but will be
unresponsive to input and the system will require a power cycle to recover.
Add a helper to the stub library that correctly adheres to the spec in the
case of EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER from ExitBootServices and can be universally
used across all stub implementations.

efi_get_memory_map() allocates a buffer to store the memory map that it
retrieves. This buffer may need to be reused by the client after
ExitBootServices() is called, at which point allocations are not longer
permitted. To support this usecase, provide the allocated buffer size back
to the client, and allocate some additional headroom to account for any
reasonable growth in the map that is likely to happen between the call to
efi_get_memory_map() and the client reusing the buffer.

In commit 8ead9dd54716 ("devpts: more pty driver interface cleanups") I
made devpts_get_priv() just return the dentry->fs_data directly. And
because I thought it wouldn't happen, I added a warning if you ever saw
a pts node that wasn't on devpts.
And no, that warning never triggered under any actual real use, but you
can trigger it by creating nonsensical pts nodes by hand.
So just revert the warning, and make devpts_get_priv() return NULL for
that case like it used to.

Commit e647b532275b ("ACPI: Add early device probing infrastructure")
introduced code that allows inserting driver specific
struct acpi_probe_entry probe entries into ACPI linker sections
(one per-subsystem, eg irqchip, clocksource) that are then walked
to retrieve the data and function hooks required to probe the
respective kernel components.
Probing for all entries in a section is triggered through
the __acpi_probe_device_table() function, that in turn, according
to the table ID a given probe entry reports parses the table
with the function retrieved from the respective section structures
(ie struct acpi_probe_entry). Owing to the current ACPI table
parsing implementation, the __acpi_probe_device_table() function
has to share global variables with the acpi_match_madt() function, so
in order to guarantee mutual exclusion locking is required
between the two functions.
Current kernel code implements the locking through the acpi_probe_lock
spinlock; this has the side effect of requiring all code called
within the lock (ie struct acpi_probe_entry.probe_{table/subtbl} hooks)
not to sleep.
However, kernel subsystems that make use of the early probing
infrastructure are relying on kernel APIs that may sleep (eg
irq_domain_alloc_fwnode(), among others) in the function calls
pointed at by struct acpi_probe_entry.{probe_table/subtbl} entries
(eg gic_v2_acpi_init()), which is a bug.
Since __acpi_probe_device_table() is called from context
that is allowed to sleep the acpi_probe_lock spinlock can be replaced
with a mutex; this fixes the issue whilst still guaranteeing
mutual exclusion.

When the ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY macro was added in
commit e647b532275b ("ACPI: Add early device probing infrastructure"),
a stub macro adding an unused entry was added for the !CONFIG_ACPI
Kconfig option case to make sure kernel code making use of the
macro did not require to be guarded within CONFIG_ACPI in order to
be compiled.
The stub macro was never used since all kernel code that defines
ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY entries is currently guarded within
CONFIG_ACPI; it contains a typo that should be nonetheless fixed.
Fix the typo in the stub (ie !CONFIG_ACPI) ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY()
macro so that it can actually be used if needed.

Łukasz Daniluk reported that on a RHEL kernel that his machine would lock up
after enabling function tracer. I asked him to bisect the functions within
available_filter_functions, which he did and it came down to three:
_paravirt_nop(), _paravirt_ident_32() and _paravirt_ident_64()
It was found that this is only an issue when noreplace-paravirt is added
to the kernel command line.
This means that those functions are most likely called within critical
sections of the funtion tracer, and must not be traced.
In newer kenels _paravirt_nop() is defined within gcc asm(), and is no
longer an issue. But both _paravirt_ident_{32,64}() causes the
following splat when they are traced:

Changes to make the resume from cpu_suspend() code behave more like
secondary boot caused debug exceptions to be unmasked early by
__cpu_setup(). We then go on to restore mdscr_el1 in cpu_do_resume(),
potentially taking break or watch points based on uninitialised registers.
Mask debug exceptions in cpu_do_resume(), which is specific to resume
from cpu_suspend(). Debug exceptions will be restored to their original
state by local_dbg_restore() in cpu_suspend(), which runs after
hw_breakpoint_restore() has re-initialised the other registers.

- The watchdog will not be touched in tick_nohz_stop_idle path (need be
touched since the scheduler stall is expected) if idle_active flags are

- The idle and iowait states will not be accounted when exit idle loop

Commit fec1d0115240 ("[PATCH] Disable CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID for abnormal
exit") has caused a subtle regression in nscd which uses
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID to clear the nscd_certainly_running flag in the
shared databases, so that the clients are notified when nscd is
restarted. Now, when nscd uses a non-persistent database, clients that
have it mapped keep thinking the database is being updated by nscd, when
in fact nscd has created a new (anonymous) one (for non-persistent
databases it uses an unlinked file as backend).
The original proposal for the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID change claimed
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/25/233):
: The NPTL library uses the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag on clone() syscalls
: on behalf of pthread_create() library calls. This feature is used to
: request that the kernel clear the thread-id in user space (at an address
: provided in the syscall) when the thread disassociates itself from the
: address space, which is done in mm_release().
:
: Unfortunately, when a multi-threaded process incurs a core dump (such as
: from a SIGSEGV), the core-dumping thread sends SIGKILL signals to all of
: the other threads, which then proceed to clear their user-space tids
: before synchronizing in exit_mm() with the start of core dumping. This
: misrepresents the state of process's address space at the time of the
: SIGSEGV and makes it more difficult for someone to debug NPTL and glibc
: problems (misleading him/her to conclude that the threads had gone away
: before the fault).
:
: The fix below is to simply avoid the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID action if a
: core dump has been initiated.
The resulting patch from Roland (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/26/269)
seems to have a larger scope than the original patch asked for. It
seems that limitting the scope of the check to core dumping should work
for SIGSEGV issue describe above.
[Changelog partly based on Andreas' description]
