firmware: Add support for loading compressed files

2019-06-18T07:11:22Z

This patch adds the support for loading compressed firmware files. The primary motivation is to reduce the storage size; e.g. currently the files in /lib/firmware on my machine counts up to 419MB, while they can be reduced to 130MB by file compression. The patch introduces a new kconfig option CONFIG_FW_LOADER_COMPRESS. Even with this option set, the firmware loader still tries to load the original firmware file as-is at first, but then falls back to the file with ".xz" extension when it's not found, and the decompressed file content is returned to the caller of request_firmware(). So, no change is needed for the rest. Currently only XZ format is supported. A caveat is that the kernel XZ helper code supports only CRC32 (or none) integrity check type, so you'll have to compress the files via xz -C crc32 option. Since we can't determine the expanded size immediately from an XZ file, the patch re-uses the paged buffer that was used for the user-mode fallback; it puts the decompressed content page, which are vmapped at the end. The paged buffer code is conditionally built with a new Kconfig that is selected automatically. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware: Factor out the paged buffer handling code

2019-06-18T07:11:21Z

This is merely a preparation for the upcoming compressed firmware support and no functional changes. It moves the code to handle the paged buffer allocation and mapping out of fallback.c into the main code, so that they can be used commonly.

firmware: Use kvmalloc for page tables

2019-06-10T17:20:37Z

This is a minor optimization to use kvmalloc() variant for allocating the page table for the SG-buffer. They aren't so big in general, so kmalloc() would fit often better. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware: Unify the paged buffer release helper

2019-06-10T17:20:37Z

Use a common helper to release the paged buffer resources. This is rather a preparation for the upcoming decompression support. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware: Free temporary page table after vmapping

2019-06-10T17:20:36Z

Once after performing vmap() to map the S/G pages, our own page table becomes superfluous since the pages can be released via vfree() automatically. Let's change the buffer release code and discard the page table array for saving some memory. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware: hardcode the debug message for -ENOENT

2019-02-26T10:59:43Z

When no file /path was found, the error code of -ENOENT enumerated in errno-base.h, is returned. Stating clearly that the file was not found is much more useful for debugging, So let's be explicit about that. Signed-off-by: John Zhao Acked-by: Luis Chamberlain Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware: Always initialize the fw_priv list object

2018-09-30T15:49:55Z

When freeing the fw_priv the item is taken off the list. This causes an oops in the FW_OPT_NOCACHE case as the list object is not initialized. Make sure to initialize the list object regardless of this flag.

firmware: Fix security issue with request_firmware_into_buf()

2018-09-12T07:31:00Z

When calling request_firmware_into_buf() with the FW_OPT_NOCACHE flag it is expected that firmware is loaded into buffer from memory. But inside alloc_lookup_fw_priv every new firmware that is loaded is added to the firmware cache (fwc) list head. So if any driver requests a firmware that is already loaded the code iterates over the above mentioned list and it can end up giving a pointer to other device driver's firmware buffer. Also the existing copy may either be modified by drivers, remote processors or even freed. This causes a potential security issue with batched requests when using request_firmware_into_buf. Fix alloc_lookup_fw_priv to not add to the fwc head list if FW_OPT_NOCACHE is set, and also don't do the lookup in the list.

firmware: add firmware_request_nowarn() - load firmware without warnings

2018-05-14T14:44:41Z

Currently the firmware loader only exposes one silent path for querying optional firmware, and that is firmware_request_direct(). This function also disables the sysfs fallback mechanism, which might not always be the desired behaviour [0]. This patch introduces a variations of request_firmware() that enable the caller to disable the undesired warning messages but enables the sysfs fallback mechanism. This is equivalent to adding FW_OPT_NO_WARN to the old behaviour. [0]: https://git.kernel.org/linus/c0cc00f250e1 Signed-off-by: Andres Rodriguez Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: Luis R.

firmware: rename fw_sysfs_fallback to firmware_fallback_sysfs()

2018-05-14T14:43:09Z

This is done since this call is now exposed through kernel-doc, and since this also paves the way for different future types of fallback mechanims.
