[ Upstream commit 2e28a798c3092ea42b968fa16ac835969d124898 ]

Currently, the EFI stub will disable PCI DMA as the very last thing it
does before calling ExitBootServices(), to avoid interfering with the
firmware's normal operation as much as possible.

However, the stub will invoke DisconnectController() on all endpoints
downstream of the PCI bridges it disables, and this may affect the
layout of the EFI memory map, making it substantially more likely that
ExitBootServices() will fail the first time around, and that the EFI
memory map needs to be reloaded.

This, in turn, increases the likelihood that the slack space we
allocated is insufficient (and we can no longer allocate memory via boot
services after having called ExitBootServices() once), causing the
second call to GetMemoryMap (and therefore the boot) to fail. This makes
the PCI DMA disable feature a bit more fragile than it already is, so
let's make it more robust, by allocating the space for the EFI memory
map after disabling PCI DMA.

commit 69cbeb61ff9093a9155cb19a36d633033f71093a upstream.

This reverts commit e7b813b32a42a3a6281a4fd9ae7700a0257c1d50 (and the
subsequent fix for it: 41a15855c1ee "efi: random: fix NULL-deref when
refreshing seed").

It turns otu to cause non-deterministic boot stalls on at least a HP
6730b laptop.

the memory descriptor have to be zeroed explicitly. The handle field is
one of these, but it was left out from that change, fix this now.

Commit bb1be7498500 ("firmware: arm_ffa: Add v1.1 get_partition_info support")
adds support to discovery the UUIDs of the partitions or just fetch the
partition count using the PARTITION_INFO_GET_RETURN_COUNT_ONLY flag.

However the commit doesn't handle the fact that the older version doesn't
understand the flag and must be MBZ which results in firmware returning
invalid parameter error. That results in the failure of the driver probe
which is in correct.

Limit the usage of the PARTITION_INFO_GET_RETURN_COUNT_ONLY flag for the
versions above v1.0(i.e v1.1 and onwards) which fixes the issue.

commit 111a833dc5cbef3d05b2a796a7e23cb7f6ff2192 upstream.

The transmit buffers allocated by the driver can be used to transmit data
by any messages/commands needing the buffer. However, it is not guaranteed
to have been zero-ed before every new transmission and hence it will just
contain residual value from the previous transmission. There are several
reserved fields in the memory descriptors that must be zero(MBZ). The
receiver can reject the transmission if any such MBZ fields are non-zero.

While we can set the whole page to zero, it is not optimal as most of the
fields get initialised to the value required for the current transmission.

So, just set the reserved/MBZ fields to zero in the memory descriptors
explicitly to honour the requirement and keep the receiver happy.

<title>firmware: arm_ffa: Fix FFA device names for logical partitions</title>

commit 19b8766459c41c6f318f8a548cc1c66dffd18363 upstream.

Each physical partition can provide multiple services each with UUID.
Each such service can be presented as logical partition with a unique
combination of VM ID and UUID. The number of distinct UUID in a system
will be less than or equal to the number of logical partitions.

However, currently it fails to register more than one logical partition
or service within a physical partition as the device name contains only
VM ID while both VM ID and UUID are maintained in the partition information.
The kernel complains with the below message:

By virtue of being random enough to avoid collisions when generated in a
distributed system, there is no way to compress UUID keys to the number
of bits required to identify each. We can eliminate '-' in the name but
it is not worth eliminating 4 bytes and add unnecessary logic for doing
that. Also v1.0 doesn't provide the UUID of the partitions which makes
it hard to use the same for the device name.

So to keep it simple, let us alloc an ID using ida_alloc() and append the
same to "arm-ffa" to make up a unique device name. Also stash the id value
in ffa_dev to help freeing the ID later when the device is destroyed.

commit 19b8766459c41c6f318f8a548cc1c66dffd18363 upstream.

Each physical partition can provide multiple services each with UUID.
Each such service can be presented as logical partition with a unique
combination of VM ID and UUID. The number of distinct UUID in a system
will be less than or equal to the number of logical partitions.

However, currently it fails to register more than one logical partition
or service within a physical partition as the device name contains only
VM ID while both VM ID and UUID are maintained in the partition information.
The kernel complains with the below message:

By virtue of being random enough to avoid collisions when generated in a
distributed system, there is no way to compress UUID keys to the number
of bits required to identify each. We can eliminate '-' in the name but
it is not worth eliminating 4 bytes and add unnecessary logic for doing
that. Also v1.0 doesn't provide the UUID of the partitions which makes

commit b71b55248a580e9c9befc4ae060539f1f8e477da upstream.

Currently ffa_drv-&gt;remove() is called unconditionally from
ffa_device_remove(). Since the driver registration doesn't check for it
and allows it to be registered without .remove callback, we need to check
for the presence of it before executing it from ffa_device_remove() to
above a NULL pointer dereference like the one below:

<title>irqchip/gicv3: Workaround for NVIDIA erratum T241-FABRIC-4</title>

[ Upstream commit 35727af2b15d98a2dd2811d631d3a3886111312e ]

The T241 platform suffers from the T241-FABRIC-4 erratum which causes
unexpected behavior in the GIC when multiple transactions are received
simultaneously from different sources. This hardware issue impacts
NVIDIA server platforms that use more than two T241 chips
interconnected. Each chip has support for 320 {E}SPIs.

This issue occurs when multiple packets from different GICs are
incorrectly interleaved at the target chip. The erratum text below
specifies exactly what can cause multiple transfer packets susceptible
to interleaving and GIC state corruption. GIC state corruption can
lead to a range of problems, including kernel panics, and unexpected
behavior.

&gt;From the erratum text:
  "In some cases, inter-socket AXI4 Stream packets with multiple
  transfers, may be interleaved by the fabric when presented to ARM
  Generic Interrupt Controller. GIC expects all transfers of a packet
  to be delivered without any interleaving.

  The following GICv3 commands may result in multiple transfer packets
  over inter-socket AXI4 Stream interface:
   - Register reads from GICD_I* and GICD_N*
   - Register writes to 64-bit GICD registers other than GICD_IROUTERn*
   - ITS command MOVALL

  Multiple commands in GICv4+ utilize multiple transfer packets,
  including VMOVP, VMOVI, VMAPP, and 64-bit register accesses."

  This issue impacts system configurations with more than 2 sockets,
  that require multi-transfer packets to be sent over inter-socket
  AXI4 Stream interface between GIC instances on different sockets.
  GICv4 cannot be supported. GICv3 SW model can only be supported
  with the workaround. Single and Dual socket configurations are not
  impacted by this issue and support GICv3 and GICv4."

Link: https://developer.nvidia.com/docs/t241-fabric-4/nvidia-t241-fabric-4-errata.pdf

Writing to the chip alias region of the GICD_In{E} registers except
GICD_ICENABLERn has an equivalent effect as writing to the global
distributor. The SPI interrupt deactivate path is not impacted by
the erratum.

To fix this problem, implement a workaround that ensures read accesses
to the GICD_In{E} registers are directed to the chip that owns the
SPI, and disable GICv4.x features. To simplify code changes, the
gic_configure_irq() function uses the same alias region for both read
and write operations to GICD_ICFGR.
