arm64: efi: Export screen_info

2021-08-04T16:54:36+00:00

The Hyper-V frame buffer driver may be built as a module, and
it needs access to screen_info. So export screen_info.

treewide: Convert macro and uses of section(foo) to section("foo")

2020-10-25T21:51:49+00:00

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Conversion done using the script at:

mm/pgtable: drop pgtable_t variable from pte_fn_t functions

2019-07-12T18:05:46+00:00

Drop the pgtable_t variable from all implementation for pte_fn_t as none
of them use it.  apply_to_pte_range() should stop computing it as well.
Should help us save some cycles.

efi/arm64: Check whether x18 is preserved by runtime services calls

2018-03-09T07:58:22+00:00

Whether or not we will ever decide to start using x18 as a platform
register in Linux is uncertain, but by that time, we will need to
ensure that UEFI runtime services calls don't corrupt it.

So let's start issuing warnings now for this, and increase the
likelihood that these firmware images have all been replaced by that time.

This has been fixed on the EDK2 side in commit:

  6d73863b5464 ("BaseTools/tools_def AARCH64: mark register x18 as reserved")

dated July 13, 2017.

arm64: mm: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page tables

2018-02-16T18:13:57+00:00

In many cases, page tables can be accessed concurrently by either another
CPU (due to things like fast gup) or by the hardware page table walker
itself, which may set access/dirty bits. In such cases, it is important
to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page table entries so that
entries cannot be torn, merged or subject to apparent loss of coherence
due to compiler transformations.

Whilst there are some scenarios where this cannot happen (e.g. pinned
kernel mappings for the linear region), the overhead of using READ_ONCE
/WRITE_ONCE everywhere is minimal and makes the code an awful lot easier
to reason about. This patch consistently uses these macros in the arch
code, as well as explicitly namespacing pointers to page table entries
from the entries themselves by using adopting a 'p' suffix for the former
(as is sometimes used elsewhere in the kernel source).

arm64/efi: Ignore EFI_MEMORY_XP attribute if RP and/or WP are set

2018-01-03T13:03:48+00:00

The UEFI memory map is a bit vague about how to interpret the
EFI_MEMORY_XP attribute when it is combined with EFI_MEMORY_RP and/or
EFI_MEMORY_WP, which have retroactively been redefined as cacheability
attributes rather than permission attributes.

So let's ignore EFI_MEMORY_XP if _RP and/or _WP are also set. In this
case, it is likely that they are being used to describe the capability
of the region (i.e., whether it has the controls to reconfigure it as
non-executable) rather than the nature of the contents of the region
(i.e., whether it contains data that we will never attempt to execute)

efi/arm: Enable DMI/SMBIOS

2017-06-05T15:50:44+00:00

Wire up the existing arm64 support for SMBIOS tables (aka DMI) for ARM as
well, by moving the arm64 init code to drivers/firmware/efi/arm-runtime.c
(which is shared between ARM and arm64), and adding a asm/dmi.h header to
ARM that defines the mapping routines for the firmware tables.

This allows userspace to access these tables to discover system information
exposed by the firmware. It also sets the hardware name used in crash
dumps, e.g.:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
  pgd = ed3c0000
  [00000000] *pgd=bf1f3835
  Internal error: Oops: 817 [#1] SMP THUMB2
  Modules linked in:
  CPU: 0 PID: 759 Comm: bash Not tainted 4.10.0-09601-g0e8f38792120-dirty #112
  Hardware name: QEMU KVM Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015
  ^^^

NOTE: This does *NOT* enable or encourage the use of DMI quirks, i.e., the
      the practice of identifying the platform via DMI to decide whether
      certain workarounds for buggy hardware and/or firmware need to be
      enabled. This would require the DMI subsystem to be enabled much
      earlier than we do on ARM, which is non-trivial.

arm64: mm: replace 'block_mappings_allowed' with 'page_mappings_only'

2016-11-07T18:15:04+00:00

In preparation of adding support for contiguous PTE and PMD mappings,
let's replace 'block_mappings_allowed' with 'page_mappings_only', which
will be a more accurate description of the nature of the setting once we
add such contiguous mappings into the mix.

arm64: efi: avoid block mappings for unaligned UEFI memory regions

2016-07-01T10:56:26+00:00

When running the OS with a page size > 4 KB, we need to round up mappings
for regions that are not aligned to the OS's page size. We already avoid
block mappings for EfiRuntimeServicesCode/Data regions for other reasons,
but in the unlikely event that other unaliged regions exists that have the
EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME attribute set, ensure that unaligned regions are always
mapped down to pages. This way, the overlapping page is guaranteed not to
be covered by a block mapping that needs to be split.
