Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes are:

   - Use separate EFI page tables when executing EFI firmware code.
     This isolates the EFI context from the rest of the kernel, which
     has security and general robustness advantages.  (Matt Fleming)

   - Run regular UEFI firmware with interrupts enabled.  This is already
     the status quo under other OSs.  (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Various x86 EFI enhancements, such as the use of non-executable
     attributes for EFI memory mappings.  (Sai Praneeth Prakhya)

   - Various arm64 UEFI enhancements.  (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - ... various fixes and cleanups.

  The separate EFI page tables feature got delayed twice already,
  because it's an intrusive change and we didn't feel confident about
  it - third time's the charm we hope!"

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

2016-03-18T03:03:47+00:00

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6.  There are some relatively
  intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel
  virtual memory layout and initial page table creation.

  Summary:

   - Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
     mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones.  The ARM architecture
     requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but
     that's not always possible on live page tables

   - Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked
     to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom
     of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly)
     anywhere in physical RAM

   - Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
     randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is
     provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the
     arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming)

   - Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
     (initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c
     but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
     dependencies)

   - Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this
     allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using
     LDTR/STTR instructions.  Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
     perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
     The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
     privileged accesses via the UAO bit

   - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)

   - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
     run-time code patching)

   - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time

   - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
     incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g.  weird
     big.LITTLE configurations)

   - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the
     sigcontext information (restored pstate information)

   - ACPI parking protocol implementation

   - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default

   - VDSO code marked as read-only

   - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support

   - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled

   - Erratum workaround Cavium ThunderX SoC

   - set_pte_at() fix for PROT_NONE mappings

   - Code clean-ups"

efi: stub: implement efi_get_random_bytes() based on EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL

2016-02-24T14:57:28+00:00

This exposes the firmware's implementation of EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL via a new
function efi_get_random_bytes().

efi: Reformat GUID tables to follow the format in UEFI spec

2016-02-22T07:26:25+00:00

This makes it much easier to hunt for typos in the GUID definitions.

It also makes checkpatch complain less about efi.h GUID additions, so
that if you add another one with the same style, checkpatch won't
complain about it.

efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default

2016-02-10T16:25:52+00:00

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

efi: Make our variable validation list include the guid

2016-02-10T16:25:31+00:00

All the variables in this list so far are defined to be in the global
namespace in the UEFI spec, so this just further ensures we're
validating the variables we think we are.

Including the guid for entries will become more important in future
patches when we decide whether or not to allow deletion of variables
based on presence in this list.

efi: Add nonblocking option to efi_query_variable_store()

2016-02-03T10:31:04+00:00

The function efi_query_variable_store() may be invoked by
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking(), which itself takes care to only
call a non-blocking version of the SetVariable() runtime
wrapper. However, efi_query_variable_store() may call the
SetVariable() wrapper directly, as well as the wrapper for
QueryVariableInfo(), both of which could deadlock in the same
way we are trying to prevent by calling
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking() in the first place.

So instead, modify efi_query_variable_store() to use the
non-blocking variants of QueryVariableInfo() (and give up rather
than free up space if the available space is below
EFI_MIN_RESERVE) if invoked with the 'nonblocking' argument set
to true.

efi/runtime-wrappers: Add a nonblocking version of QueryVariableInfo()

2016-02-03T10:31:03+00:00

This introduces a new runtime wrapper for the
QueryVariableInfo() UEFI Runtime Service, which gives up
immediately rather than spins on failure to grab the efi_runtime
spinlock.

This is required in the non-blocking path of the efi-pstore
code.
