[ Upstream commit 50a0cb565246f20d59cdb161778531e4b19d35ac ]

Starting with this commit 35eb8b81edd4 ("x86/efi: Build our own page
table structures") efi regions have a separate page directory called
"efi_pgd". In order to access any efi region we have to first shift %cr3
to this page table. In the bgrt code we are trying to copy bgrt_header
and image, but these regions fall under "EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA"
and to access these regions we have to shift %cr3 to efi_pgd and not
doing so will cause page fault as shown below.

As said above one way to fix this bug is to shift %cr3 to efi_pgd but we
are not doing that way because it leaks inner details of how we switch
to EFI page tables into a new call site and it also adds duplicate code.
Instead, we remove the call to efi_lookup_mapped_addr() and always
perform early_mem*() instead of early_io*() because we want to remap RAM
regions and not I/O regions. We also delete efi_lookup_mapped_addr()
because we are no longer using it.

Commit 6d80dba1c9fe ("efi: Provide a non-blocking SetVariable()
operation") implemented a non-blocking alternative for the UEFI
SetVariable() invocation performed by efivars, since it may
occur in atomic context. However, this version of the function
was never exposed via the efivars struct, so the non-blocking
versions was not actually callable. Fix that.

<title>efi: Fix out-of-bounds read in variable_matches()</title>

[ Upstream commit 630ba0cc7a6dbafbdee43795617c872b35cde1b4 ]

The variable_matches() function can currently read "var_name[len]", for
example when:

 - var_name[0] == 'a',
 - len == 1
 - match_name points to the NUL-terminated string "ab".

This function is supposed to accept "var_name" inputs that are not
NUL-terminated (hence the "len" parameter"). Document the function, and
access "var_name[*match]" only if "*match" is smaller than "len".

[ Upstream commit e246eb568bc4cbbdd8a30a3c11151ff9b7ca7312 ]

Laszlo explains why this is a good idea,

 'This is because the pstore filesystem can be backed by UEFI variables,
  and (for example) a crash might dump the last kilobytes of the dmesg
  into a number of pstore entries, each entry backed by a separate UEFI
  variable in the above GUID namespace, and with a variable name
  according to the above pattern.

  Please see "drivers/firmware/efi/efi-pstore.c".

  While this patch series will not prevent the user from deleting those
  UEFI variables via the pstore filesystem (i.e., deleting a pstore fs
  entry will continue to delete the backing UEFI variable), I think it
  would be nice to preserve the possibility for the sysadmin to delete
  Linux-created UEFI variables that carry portions of the crash log,
  *without* having to mount the pstore filesystem.'

There's also no chance of causing machines to become bricked by
deleting these variables, which is the whole purpose of excluding
things from the whitelist.

Use the LINUX_EFI_CRASH_GUID guid and a wildcard '*' for the match so
that we don't have to update the string in the future if new variable
name formats are created for crash dump variables.

[ Upstream commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 ]

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

[ Upstream commit 8282f5d9c17fe15a9e658c06e3f343efae1a2a2f ]

All the variables in this list so far are defined to be in the global
namespace in the UEFI spec, so this just further ensures we're
validating the variables we think we are.

Including the guid for entries will become more important in future
patches when we decide whether or not to allow deletion of variables
based on presence in this list.

<title>arm64/efi: Fix boot crash by not padding between EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME regions</title>

commit 0ce3cc008ec04258b6a6314b09f1a6012810881a upstream.

The new Properties Table feature introduced in UEFIv2.5 may
split memory regions that cover PE/COFF memory images into
separate code and data regions. Since these regions only differ
in the type (runtime code vs runtime data) and the permission
bits, but not in the memory type attributes (UC/WC/WT/WB), the
spec does not require them to be aligned to 64 KB.

Since the relative offset of PE/COFF .text and .data segments
cannot be changed on the fly, this means that we can no longer
pad out those regions to be mappable using 64 KB pages.
Unfortunately, there is no annotation in the UEFI memory map
that identifies data regions that were split off from a code
region, so we must apply this logic to all adjacent runtime
regions whose attributes only differ in the permission bits.

So instead of rounding each memory region to 64 KB alignment at
both ends, only round down regions that are not directly
preceded by another runtime region with the same type
attributes. Since the UEFI spec does not mandate that the memory
map be sorted, this means we also need to sort it first.

Note that this change will result in all EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME
regions whose start addresses are not aligned to the OS page
size to be mapped with executable permissions (i.e., on kernels
compiled with 64 KB pages). However, since these mappings are
only active during the time that UEFI Runtime Services are being
invoked, the window for abuse is rather small.
