(commit b3879a4d3a31ef14265a52e8d941cf4b0f6627ae upstream)

The ARM decompressor is finicky when it comes to uninitialized variables
with local linkage, the reason being that it may relocate .text and .bss
independently when executing from ROM. This is only possible if all
references into .bss from .text are absolute, and this happens to be the
case for references emitted under -fpic to symbols with external linkage,
and so all .bss references must involve symbols with external linkage.

When building the ARM stub using clang, the initialized local variable
__chunk_size is optimized into a zero-initialized flag that indicates
whether chunking is in effect or not. This flag is therefore emitted into
.bss, which triggers the ARM decompressor's diagnostics, resulting in a
failed build.

Under UEFI, we never execute the decompressor from ROM, so the diagnostic
makes little sense here. But we can easily work around the issue by making
__chunk_size global instead.

However, given that the file I/O chunking that is controlled by the
__chunk_size variable is intended to work around known bugs on various
x86 implementations of UEFI, we can simply make the chunking an x86
specific feature. This is an improvement by itself, and also removes the
need to parse the efi= options in the stub entirely.

(commit 41f1c48420709470c51ee0e54b6fb28b956bb4e0 upstream)

When building with CONFIG_EFI and CONFIG_EFI_STUB on ARM, the libstub
Makefile would use -mno-single-pic-base without checking it was
supported by the compiler. As the ARM (32-bit) clang backend does not
support this flag, the build would fail.

This changes the Makefile to check the compiler's support for
-mno-single-pic-base before using it, similar to c1c386681bd7 ("ARM:
8767/1: add support for building ARM kernel with clang").

[ Upstream commit 33412b8673135b18ea42beb7f5117ed0091798b6 ]

Commit:

  3ea86495aef2 ("efi/arm: preserve early mapping of UEFI memory map longer for BGRT")

deferred the unmap of the early mapping of the UEFI memory map to
accommodate the ACPI BGRT code, which looks up the memory type that
backs the BGRT table to validate it against the requirements of the UEFI spec.

Unfortunately, this causes problems on ARM, which does not permit
early mappings to persist after paging_init() is called, resulting
in a WARN() splat. Since we don't support the BGRT table on ARM anway,
let's revert ARM to the old behaviour, which is to take down the
early mapping at the end of efi_init().

<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.

<title>efi/libstub: Preserve .debug sections after absolute relocation check</title>

commit 696204faa6e8a318320ebb49d9fa69bc8275644d upstream.

The build commands for the ARM and arm64 EFI stubs strip the .debug
sections and other sections that may legally contain absolute relocations,
in order to inspect the remaining sections for the presence of such
relocations.

This leaves us without debugging symbols in the stub for no good reason,
considering that these sections are omitted from the kernel binary anyway,
and that these relocations are thus only consumed by users of the ELF
binary, such as debuggers.

So move to 'strip' for performing the relocation check, and if it succeeds,
invoke objcopy as before, but leaving the .debug sections in place. Note
that these sections may refer to ksymtab/kcrctab contents, so leave those
in place as well.

[ Upstream commit 61f0d55569463a1af897117ff47d202b0ccb2e24 ]

The following commit:

  7e1550b8f208 ("efi: Drop type and attribute checks in efi_mem_desc_lookup()")

refactored the implementation of efi_mem_desc_lookup() so that the type
check is moved to the callers, one of which is the x86 version of
efi_arch_mem_reserve(), where we added a modified check that only takes
EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA regions into account.

This is reasonable, since it is the only memory type that requires this,
but doing so uncovered some unexpected behavior in the ESRT code, which
permits the ESRT table to reside in other types of memory than what the
UEFI spec mandates (i.e., EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA), and unconditionally
calls efi_mem_reserve() on the region in question. This may result in
errors such as

  esrt: Reserving ESRT space from 0x000000009c810318 to 0x000000009c810350.
  efi: Failed to lookup EFI memory descriptor for 0x000000009c810318

when the ESRT table is not in EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA memory, but we try
to reserve it nonetheless.

So make the call to efi_mem_reserve() conditional on the memory type.

[ Upstream commit 61f0d55569463a1af897117ff47d202b0ccb2e24 ]

The following commit:

  7e1550b8f208 ("efi: Drop type and attribute checks in efi_mem_desc_lookup()")

refactored the implementation of efi_mem_desc_lookup() so that the type
check is moved to the callers, one of which is the x86 version of
efi_arch_mem_reserve(), where we added a modified check that only takes
EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA regions into account.

This is reasonable, since it is the only memory type that requires this,
but doing so uncovered some unexpected behavior in the ESRT code, which
permits the ESRT table to reside in other types of memory than what the
UEFI spec mandates (i.e., EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA), and unconditionally
calls efi_mem_reserve() on the region in question. This may result in
errors such as

  esrt: Reserving ESRT space from 0x000000009c810318 to 0x000000009c810350.
  efi: Failed to lookup EFI memory descriptor for 0x000000009c810318

when the ESRT table is not in EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA memory, but we try
to reserve it nonetheless.

So make the call to efi_mem_reserve() conditional on the memory type.

<title>efi/arm: preserve early mapping of UEFI memory map longer for BGRT</title>

[ Upstream commit 3ea86495aef2f6de26b7cb1599ba350dd6a0c521 ]

The BGRT code validates the contents of the table against the UEFI
memory map, and so it expects it to be mapped when the code runs.

On ARM, this is currently not the case, since we tear down the early
mapping after efi_init() completes, and only create the permanent
mapping in arm_enable_runtime_services(), which executes as an early
initcall, but still leaves a window where the UEFI memory map is not
mapped.

So move the call to efi_memmap_unmap() from efi_init() to
arm_enable_runtime_services().

<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.

commit e78eef554a912ef6c1e0bbf97619dafbeae3339f 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.
