[ Upstream commit a7770ae194569e96a93c48aceb304edded9cc648 ]

The handling of empty DMI strings looks quite broken to me:
* Strings from 1 to 7 spaces are not considered empty.
* True empty DMI strings (string index set to 0) are not considered
  empty, and result in allocating a 0-char string.
* Strings with invalid index also result in allocating a 0-char
  string.
* Strings starting with 8 spaces are all considered empty, even if
  non-space characters follow (sounds like a weird thing to do, but
  I have actually seen occurrences of this in DMI tables before.)
* Strings which are considered empty are reported as 8 spaces,
  instead of being actually empty.

Some of these issues are the result of an off-by-one error in memcmp,
the rest is incorrect by design.

So let's get it square: missing strings and strings made of only
spaces, regardless of their length, should be treated as empty and
no memory should be allocated for them. All other strings are
non-empty and should be allocated.

Commit e78eef554a91 upstream.

Since PSCI 1.0 allows the SMCCC version to be (indirectly) probed,
let's do that at boot time, and expose the version of the calling
convention as part of the psci_ops structure.

Commit 09a8d6d48499 upstream.

In order to call into the firmware to apply workarounds, it is
useful to find out whether we're using HVC or SMC. Let's expose
this through the psci_ops.

Commit d68e3ba5303f upstream.

Entry into recent versions of ARM Trusted Firmware will invalidate the CPU
branch predictor state in order to protect against aliasing attacks.

This patch exposes the PSCI "VERSION" function via psci_ops, so that it
can be invoked outside of the PSCI driver where necessary.

<title>x86/efi: Clarify that reset attack mitigation needs appropriate userspace</title>

commit a5c03c31af2291f13689d11760c0b59fb70c9a5a upstream.

Some distributions have turned on the reset attack mitigation feature,
which is designed to force the platform to clear the contents of RAM if
the machine is shut down uncleanly. However, in order for the platform
to be able to determine whether the shutdown was clean or not, userspace
has to be configured to clear the MemoryOverwriteRequest flag on
shutdown - otherwise the firmware will end up clearing RAM on every
reboot, which is unnecessarily time consuming. Add some additional
clarity to the kconfig text to reduce the risk of systems being
configured this way.

<title>efi/capsule-loader: Reinstate virtual capsule mapping</title>

<id>95a362c9a6892085f714eb6e31eea6a0e3aa93bf</id>
<content type='text'>
commit f24c4d478013d82bd1b943df566fff3561d52864 upstream.

Commit:

  82c3768b8d68 ("efi/capsule-loader: Use a cached copy of the capsule header")

... refactored the capsule loading code that maps the capsule header,
to avoid having to map it several times.

However, as it turns out, the vmap() call we ended up removing did not
just map the header, but the entire capsule image, and dropping this
virtual mapping breaks capsules that are processed by the firmware
immediately (i.e., without a reboot).

Unfortunately, that change was part of a larger refactor that allowed
a quirk to be implemented for Quark, which has a non-standard memory
layout for capsules, and we have slightly painted ourselves into a
corner by allowing quirk code to mangle the capsule header and memory
layout.

So we need to fix this without breaking Quark. Fortunately, Quark does
not appear to care about the virtual mapping, and so we can simply
do a partial revert of commit:

  2a457fb31df6 ("efi/capsule-loader: Use page addresses rather than struct page pointers")

... and create a vmap() mapping of the entire capsule (including header)
based on the reinstated struct page array, unless running on Quark, in
which case we pass the capsule header copy as before.

commit af97a77bc01ce49a466f9d4c0125479e2e2230b6 upstream.

Thanks to the scripts/leaking_addresses.pl script, it was found that
some EFI values should not be readable by non-root users.

So make them root-only, and to do that, add a __ATTR_RO_MODE() macro to
make this easier, and use it in other places at the same time.

commit af97a77bc01ce49a466f9d4c0125479e2e2230b6 upstream.

Thanks to the scripts/leaking_addresses.pl script, it was found that
some EFI values should not be readable by non-root users.

So make them root-only, and to do that, add a __ATTR_RO_MODE() macro to
make this easier, and use it in other places at the same time.

commit 0631fb8b027f5968c2f5031f0b3ff7be3e4bebcc upstream.

The driver exit function needs to unregister both platform device and
driver. Also, during registration, register driver first and perform
error checks.

commit e4b28b3c3a405b251fa25db58abe1512814a680a upstream.

It doesn't make sense to have /sys/firmware/vpd if the device is not
instantiated, so tie its lifetime to the device.
