commit e6acaf25cba14661211bb72181c35dd13b24f5b3 upstream.

The coreboot framebuffer doesn't support transparency, its 'reserved'
bit field is merely padding for byte/word alignment of pixel colors [1].
When trying to match the framebuffer to a simplefb format, the kernel
driver unnecessarily requires the format's transparency bit field to
exactly match this padding, even if the former is zero-width.

Due to a coreboot bug [2] (fixed upstream), some boards misreport the
reserved field's size as equal to its position (0x18 for both on a
'Lick' Chromebook), and the driver fails to probe where it would have
otherwise worked fine with e.g. the a8r8g8b8 or x8r8g8b8 formats.

Remove the transparency comparison with reserved bits. When the
bits-per-pixel and other color components match, transparency will
already be in a subset of the reserved field. Not forcing it to match
reserved bits allows the driver to work on the boards which misreport
the reserved field. It also enables using simplefb formats that don't
have transparency bits, although this doesn't currently happen due to
format support and ordering in linux/platform_data/simplefb.h.

We can get EFI variables without fetching the attribute, so we must
allow for that in gsmi.

commit 859748255b43 ("efi: pstore: Omit efivars caching EFI varstore

triggers panic in gsmi.

The memcpy() of the data following a coreboot_table_entry couldn't
be evaluated by the compiler under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. To make it
easier to reason about, add an explicit flexible array member to struct
coreboot_device so the entire entry can be copied at once. Additionally,
validate the sizes before copying. Avoids this run-time false positive
warning:

<content type='text'>
The CBMEM area is a downward-growing memory region used by coreboot to
dynamically allocate tagged data structures ("CBMEM entries") that
remain resident during boot.

This implements a driver which exports access to the CBMEM entries
via sysfs under /sys/bus/coreboot/devices/cbmem-&lt;id&gt;.

This implementation is quite versatile.  Examples of how it could be
used are given below:

* Tools like util/cbmem from the coreboot tree could use this driver
  instead of finding CBMEM in /dev/mem directly.  Alternatively,
  firmware developers debugging an issue may find the sysfs interface
  more ergonomic than the cbmem tool and choose to use it directly.

* The crossystem tool, which exposes verified boot variables, can use
  this driver to read the vboot work buffer.

* Tools which read the BIOS SPI flash (e.g., flashrom) can find the
  flash layout in CBMEM directly, which is significantly faster than
  searching the flash directly.

Write access is provided to all CBMEM regions via
/sys/bus/coreboot/devices/cbmem-&lt;id&gt;/mem, as the existing cbmem
tooling updates this memory region, and envisioned use cases with
crossystem can benefit from updating memory regions.

<title>firmware: coreboot: Register bus in module init</title>

<content type='text'>
The coreboot_table driver registers a coreboot bus while probing a
"coreboot_table" device representing the coreboot table memory region.
Probing this device (i.e., registering the bus) is a dependency for the
module_init() functions of any driver for this bus (e.g.,
memconsole-coreboot.c / memconsole_driver_init()).

With synchronous probe, this dependency works OK, as the link order in
the Makefile ensures coreboot_table_driver_init() (and thus,
coreboot_table_probe()) completes before a coreboot device driver tries
to add itself to the bus.

With asynchronous probe, however, coreboot_table_probe() may race with
memconsole_driver_init(), and so we're liable to hit one of these two:

1. coreboot_driver_register() eventually hits "[...] the bus was not
   initialized.", and the memconsole driver fails to register; or
2. coreboot_driver_register() gets past #1, but still races with
   bus_register() and hits some other undefined/crashing behavior (e.g.,
   in driver_find() [1])

We can resolve this by registering the bus in our initcall, and only
deferring "device" work (scanning the coreboot memory region and
creating sub-devices) to probe().

<title>firmware: google: Test spinlock on panic path to avoid lockups</title>

Currently the gsmi driver registers a panic notifier as well as
reboot and die notifiers. The callbacks registered are called in
atomic and very limited context - for instance, panic disables
preemption and local IRQs, also all secondary CPUs (not executing
the panic path) are shutdown.

With that said, taking a spinlock in this scenario is a dangerous
invitation for lockup scenarios. So, fix that by checking if the
spinlock is free to acquire in the panic notifier callback - if not,
bail-out and avoid a potential hang.

The Google Coreboot implementation requires IOMEM functions
(memmremap, memunmap, devm_memremap), but does not specify this is its
Kconfig. This results in build errors when HAS_IOMEM is not set, such as
on some UML configurations:

/usr/bin/ld: drivers/firmware/google/coreboot_table.o: in function `coreboot_table_probe':
coreboot_table.c:(.text+0x311): undefined reference to `memremap'
/usr/bin/ld: coreboot_table.c:(.text+0x34e): undefined reference to `memunmap'
/usr/bin/ld: drivers/firmware/google/memconsole-coreboot.o: in function `memconsole_probe':

/usr/bin/ld: memconsole-coreboot.c:(.text+0x17e): undefined reference to `devm_memremap'

The help text for GOOGLE_FIRMWARE states that it should only be
enabled when building a kernel for Google's own servers.  However,
many of the drivers dependent on it are also useful on Chromebooks or
on any platform using coreboot.

Update the help text to reflect this double duty.
