commit afb2a4fb84555ef9e61061f6ea63ed7087b295d5 upstream.

The cflags for the RISC-V efistub were missing -mno-relax, thus were
under the risk that the compiler could use GP-relative addressing. That
happened for _edata with binutils-2.41 and kernel 6.1, causing the
relocation to fail due to an invalid kernel_size in handle_kernel_image.
It was not yet observed with newer versions, but that may just be luck.

<title>x86/efi: Disregard setup header of loaded image</title>

commit 7e50262229faad0c7b8c54477cd1c883f31cc4a7 upstream.

The native EFI entrypoint does not take a struct boot_params from the
loader, but instead, it constructs one from scratch, using the setup
header data placed at the start of the image.

This setup header is placed in a way that permits legacy loaders to
manipulate the contents (i.e., to pass the kernel command line or the
address and size of an initial ramdisk), but EFI boot does not use it in
that way - it only copies the contents that were placed there at build
time, but EFI loaders will not (and should not) manipulate the setup
header to configure the boot. (Commit 63bf28ceb3ebbe76 "efi: x86: Wipe
setup_data on pure EFI boot" deals with some of the fallout of using
setup_data in a way that breaks EFI boot.)

Given that none of the non-zero values that are copied from the setup
header into the EFI stub's struct boot_params are relevant to the boot
now that the EFI stub no longer enters via the legacy decompressor, the
copy can be omitted altogether.

<title>x86/efistub: Avoid placing the kernel below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR</title>

[ Upstream commit 2f77465b05b1270c832b5e2ee27037672ad2a10a ]

The EFI stub's kernel placement logic randomizes the physical placement
of the kernel by taking all available memory into account, and picking a
region at random, based on a random seed.

When KASLR is disabled, this seed is set to 0x0, and this results in the
lowest available region of memory to be selected for loading the kernel,
even if this is below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR. Some of this memory is
typically reserved for the GFP_DMA region, to accommodate masters that
can only access the first 16 MiB of system memory.

Even if such devices are rare these days, we may still end up with a
warning in the kernel log, as reported by Tom:

 swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0

Fix this by tweaking the random allocation logic to accept a low bound
on the placement, and set it to LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR.

[ Upstream commit a7a6a01f88e87dec4bf2365571dd2dc7403d52d0 ]

The recently introduced EFI memory attributes protocol should be used
if it exists to ensure that the memory allocation created for the kernel
permits execution. This is needed for compatibility with tightened
requirements related to Windows logo certification for x86 PCs.

Currently, we simply strip the execute protect (XP) attribute from the
entire range, but this might be rejected under some firmware security
policies, and so in a subsequent patch, this will be changed to only
strip XP from the executable region that runs early, and make it
read-only (RO) as well.

In order to catch any issues early, ensure that the memory attribute
protocol works as intended, and give up if it produces spurious errors.

Note that the DXE services based fallback was always based on best
effort, so don't propagate any errors returned by that API.

[ Upstream commit e8ef4bbe39b9576a73f104f6af743fb9c7b624ba ]
