[ Upstream commit 6fb9367a15d1a126d222d738b2702c7958594a5f ]

The CPER parser assumes that the class code is big endian, but at least
on this edk2-derived Intel Purley platform it's little endian:

<title>efi: cper: print AER info of PCIe fatal error</title>

<id>f39d3370a3e4c59eb4ae5ea387d6ea623e7a026a</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b194a77fcc4001dc40aecdd15d249648e8a436d1 ]

AER info of PCIe fatal error is not printed in the current driver.
Because APEI driver will panic directly for fatal error, and can't
run to the place of printing AER info.

An example log is as following:
{763}[Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 11
{763}[Hardware Error]: event severity: fatal
{763}[Hardware Error]:  Error 0, type: fatal
{763}[Hardware Error]:   section_type: PCIe error
{763}[Hardware Error]:   port_type: 0, PCIe end point
{763}[Hardware Error]:   version: 4.0
{763}[Hardware Error]:   command: 0x0000, status: 0x0010
{763}[Hardware Error]:   device_id: 0000:82:00.0
{763}[Hardware Error]:   slot: 0
{763}[Hardware Error]:   secondary_bus: 0x00
{763}[Hardware Error]:   vendor_id: 0x8086, device_id: 0x10fb
{763}[Hardware Error]:   class_code: 000002
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal hardware error!

This issue was imported by the patch, '37448adfc7ce ("aerdrv: Move
cper_print_aer() call out of interrupt context")'. To fix this issue,
this patch adds print of AER info in cper_print_pcie() for fatal error.

Here is the example log after this patch applied:
{24}[Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 10
{24}[Hardware Error]: event severity: fatal
{24}[Hardware Error]:  Error 0, type: fatal

<title>iscsi_ibft: make ISCSI_IBFT dependson ACPI instead of ISCSI_IBFT_FIND</title>

[ Upstream commit 94bccc34071094c165c79b515d21b63c78f7e968 ]

iscsi_ibft can use ACPI to find the iBFT entry during bootup,
currently, ISCSI_IBFT depends on ISCSI_IBFT_FIND which is
a X86 legacy way to find the iBFT by searching through the
low memory. This patch changes the dependency so that other
arch like ARM64 can use ISCSI_IBFT as long as the arch supports
ACPI.

ibft_init() needs to use the global variable ibft_addr declared
in iscsi_ibft_find.c. A #ifndef CONFIG_ISCSI_IBFT_FIND is needed
to declare the variable if CONFIG_ISCSI_IBFT_FIND is not selected.
Moving ibft_addr into the iscsi_ibft.c does not work because if
ISCSI_IBFT is selected as a module, the arch/x86/kernel/setup.c won't
be able to find the variable at compile time.

This moves the DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING define from the x86 specific
to the general CFLAGS definition for the stub. This fixes build errors
when building for arm64 with CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES_ENABLED.

commit df997abeebadaa4824271009e2d2b526a70a11cb upstream.

Add missing break statement in order to prevent the code from falling
through to case ISCSI_BOOT_TGT_NAME, which is unnecessary.

This bug was found thanks to the ongoing efforts to enable
-Wimplicit-fallthrough.

commit f331e766c4be33f4338574f3c9f7f77e98ab4571 upstream.

Calls into UV firmware must be protected against concurrency, expose the
efi_runtime_lock to the UV platform, and use it to serialise UV BIOS
calls.

commit f331e766c4be33f4338574f3c9f7f77e98ab4571 upstream.

Calls into UV firmware must be protected against concurrency, expose the
efi_runtime_lock to the UV platform, and use it to serialise UV BIOS
calls.

<title>efi/libstub/arm64: Set -fpie when building the EFI stub</title>

commit 91ee5b21ee026c49e4e7483de69b55b8b47042be upstream.

Clang may emit absolute symbol references when building in non-PIC mode,
even when using the default 'small' code model, which is already mostly
position independent to begin with, due to its use of adrp/add pairs
that have a relative range of +/- 4 GB. The remedy is to pass the -fpie
flag, which can be done safely now that the code has been updated to avoid
GOT indirections (which may be emitted due to the compiler assuming that
the PIC/PIE code may end up in a shared library that is subject to ELF
symbol preemption)

Passing -fpie when building code that needs to execute at an a priori
unknown offset is arguably an improvement in any case, and given that
the recent visibility changes allow the PIC build to pass with GCC as
well, let's add -fpie for all arm64 builds rather than only for Clang.

commit 0426a4e68f18d75515414361de9e3e1445d2644e upstream.

To prevent the compiler from emitting absolute references to the section
markers when running in PIC mode, override the visibility to 'hidden' for
all contents of asm/sections.h

<title>firmware: dmi_scan: Fix handling of empty DMI strings</title>

[ 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.
