commit d64934019f6cc39202e2f78063709f61ca5cb364 upstream.

The eboot code directly calls ExitBootServices.  This is inadvisable as the
UEFI spec details a complex set of errors, race conditions, and API
interactions that the caller of ExitBootServices must get correct.  The
eboot code attempts allocations after calling ExitBootSerives which is
not permitted per the spec.  Call the efi_exit_boot_services() helper
intead, which handles the allocation scenario properly.

commit dadb57abc37499f565b23933dbf49b435c3ba8af upstream.

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.

isolinux.bin to reside on the boot disk, so if the latter is found,
copy it, too, to the isoimage tree.

KASLR will be calling get_random_long() twice, but the debug output
won't distinguishing between them. This patch adds a report on when it
is fetching the physical vs virtual address. With this, once the virtual
offset is separate, the report changes from:

 KASLR using RDTSC...
 KASLR using RDTSC...

into:

 Physical KASLR using RDTSC...
 Virtual KASLR using RDTSC...

To support randomizing the kernel virtual address separately from the
physical address, this patch adds find_random_virt_addr() to choose
a slot anywhere between LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR and KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE.
Since this address is virtual, not physical, we can place the kernel
anywhere in this region, as long as it is aligned and (in the case of
kernel being larger than the slot size) placed with enough room to load
the entire kernel image.

For clarity and readability, find_random_addr() is renamed to
find_random_phys_addr() and has "size" renamed to "image_size" to match
find_random_virt_addr().

In preparation for being able to detect where to split up contiguous
memory regions that overlap with memory regions to avoid, we need to
pass back what the earliest overlapping region was. This modifies the
overlap checker to return that information.

Based on a separate mem_min_overlap() implementation by Baoquan He.

<title>x86/KASLR: Add 'struct slot_area' to manage random_addr slots</title>
<updated>2016-05-10T08:12:04+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=c401cf1524153f9c2ede7ab8ece403513925770a'/>
<id>c401cf1524153f9c2ede7ab8ece403513925770a</id>
<content type='text'>
In order to support KASLR moving the kernel anywhere in physical memory
(which could be up to 64TB), we need to handle counting the potential
randomization locations in a more efficient manner.

In the worst case with 64TB, there could be roughly 32 * 1024 * 1024
randomization slots if CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN is 0x1000000. Currently
the starting address of candidate positions is stored into the slots[]
array, one at a time. This method would cost too much memory and it's
also very inefficient to get and save the slot information into the slot
array one by one.

This patch introduces 'struct slot_area' to manage each contiguous region
of randomization slots. Each slot_area will contain the starting address
and how many available slots are in this area. As with the original code,
the slot_areas[] will avoid the mem_avoid[] regions.

Since setup_data is a linked list, it could contain an unknown number
of memory regions to be avoided, which could cause us to fragment
the contiguous memory that the slot_area array is tracking. In normal
operation this level of fragmentation will be extremely rare, but we
choose a suitably large value (100) for the array. If setup_data forces
the slot_area array to become highly fragmented and there are more
slots available beyond the first 100 found, the rest will be ignored
for KASLR selection.

The function store_slot_info() is used to calculate the number of slots
available in the passed-in memory region and stores it into slot_areas[]
after adjusting for alignment and size requirements.

There were some files with missing header comments. Since they are
included from both compressed and regular kernels, make note of that.
Also corrects a typo in the mem_avoid comments.
