[ Upstream commit dd09fad9d2caad2325a39b766ce9e79cfc690184 ]

Commit:

  3a6b6c6fb23667fa ("efi: Make EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE initialization common across all architectures")

moved the call to efi_memattr_init() from ARM specific to the generic
EFI init code, in order to be able to apply the restricted permissions
described in that table on x86 as well.

We never enabled this feature fully on i386, and so mapping and
reserving this table is pointless. However, due to the early call to
memblock_reserve(), the memory bookkeeping gets confused to the point
where it produces the splat below when we try to map the memory later
on:

<title>efi: Fix a race and a buffer overflow while reading efivars via sysfs</title>

commit 286d3250c9d6437340203fb64938bea344729a0e upstream.

There is a race and a buffer overflow corrupting a kernel memory while
reading an EFI variable with a size more than 1024 bytes via the older
sysfs method. This happens because accessing struct efi_variable in
efivar_{attr,size,data}_read() and friends is not protected from
a concurrent access leading to a kernel memory corruption and, at best,
to a crash. The race scenario is the following:

CPU0:                                CPU1:
efivar_attr_read()
  var-&gt;DataSize = 1024;
  efivar_entry_get(... &amp;var-&gt;DataSize)
    down_interruptible(&amp;efivars_lock)
                                     efivar_attr_read() // same EFI var
                                       var-&gt;DataSize = 1024;
                                       efivar_entry_get(... &amp;var-&gt;DataSize)
                                         down_interruptible(&amp;efivars_lock)
    virt_efi_get_variable()
    // returns EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL but
    // var-&gt;DataSize is set to a real
    // var size more than 1024 bytes
    up(&amp;efivars_lock)
                                         virt_efi_get_variable()
                                         // called with var-&gt;DataSize set
                                         // to a real var size, returns
                                         // successfully and overwrites
                                         // a 1024-bytes kernel buffer
                                         up(&amp;efivars_lock)

This can be reproduced by concurrent reading of an EFI variable which size
is more than 1024 bytes:

  ts# for cpu in $(seq 0 $(nproc --ignore=1)); do ( taskset -c $cpu \
  cat /sys/firmware/efi/vars/KEKDefault*/size &amp; ) ; done

Fix this by using a local variable for a var's data buffer size so it
does not get overwritten.

commit be36f9e7517e17810ec369626a128d7948942259 upstream.

This function is consistent with using size instead of seed-&gt;size
(except for one place that this patch fixes), but it reads seed-&gt;size
without using READ_ONCE, which means the compiler might still do
something unwanted. So, this commit simply adds the READ_ONCE
wrapper.

[ Upstream commit 64c8a0cd0a535891d5905c3a1651150f0f141439 ]

The new of_devlink support breaks PCIe probing on ARM platforms booting
via UEFI if the firmware exposes a EFI framebuffer that is backed by a
PCI device. The reason is that the probing order gets reversed,
resulting in a resource conflict on the framebuffer memory window when
the PCIe probes last, causing it to give up entirely.

Given that we rely on PCI quirks to deal with EFI framebuffers that get
moved around in memory, we cannot simply drop the memory reservation, so
instead, let's use the device link infrastructure to register this
dependency, and force the probing to occur in the expected order.

Commit:

  0d95981438c3 ("x86: efi/random: Invoke EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL to seed the UEFI RNG table")

causes the drivers/efi/libstub/random.c code to get used on x86 for the first time.

But this code was not written with EFI mixed mode in mind (running a 64
bit kernel on 32 bit EFI firmware), this causes the kernel to crash during
early boot when running in mixed mode.

The problem is that in mixed mode pointers are 64 bit, but when running on
a 32 bit firmware, EFI calls which return a pointer value by reference only
fill the lower 32 bits of the passed pointer, leaving the upper 32 bits
uninitialized which leads to crashes.

This commit fixes this by initializing pointers which are passed by
reference to EFI calls to NULL before passing them, so that the upper 32
bits are initialized to 0.

<title>efi/earlycon: Fix write-combine mapping on x86</title>

On x86, until PAT is initialized, WC translates into UC-. Since we
calculate and store pgprot_writecombine(PAGE_KERNEL) when earlycon is
initialized, this means we actually use UC- mappings instead of WC
mappings, which makes scrolling very slow.

Instead store a boolean flag to indicate whether we want to use
writeback or write-combine mappings, and recalculate the actual pgprot_t
we need on every mapping. Once PAT is initialized, we will start using
write-combine mappings, which speeds up the scrolling considerably.

Commit:

  1c5fecb61255aa12 ("efi: Export Runtime Configuration Interface table to sysfs")

... added support for a Dell specific UEFI configuration table, but
failed to take into account that mapping the table should not be
attempted unless the table actually exists. If it doesn't exist,
the code usually fails silently unless pr_debug() prints are
enabled. However, on 32-bit PAE x86, the splat below is produced due
to the attempt to map the placeholder value EFI_INVALID_TABLE_ADDR
which we use for non-existing UEFI configuration tables, and which
equals ULONG_MAX.

Replace all the occurrences of FIELD_SIZEOF() with sizeof_field() except
at places where these are defined. Later patches will remove the unused
definition of FIELD_SIZEOF().

This patch is generated using following script:

EXCLUDE_FILES="include/linux/stddef.h|include/linux/kernel.h"

git grep -l -e "\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b" | while read file;
do

	if [[ "$file" =~ $EXCLUDE_FILES ]]; then
		continue
	fi
	sed -i  -e 's/\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b/sizeof_field/g' $file;
done
