firmware: Fix missing inline

2019-07-23T08:20:25Z

I mistakenly dropped the inline while resolving the patch conflicts in the previous fix patch. Without inline, we get compiler warnings wrt unused functions. Note that Mauro's original patch contained the correct changes; it's all my fault to submit a patch before a morning coffee.

firmware: fix build errors in paged buffer handling code

2019-07-22T06:44:40Z

fw_{grow,map}_paged_buf() need to be defined as static inline when CONFIG_FW_LOADER_PAGED_BUF is not enabled, infact fw_free_paged_buf() is also defined as static inline when CONFIG_FW_LOADER_PAGED_BUF is not enabled. Fixes the following mutiple definition building errors for Android kernel: drivers/base/firmware_loader/fallback_efi.o: In function `fw_grow_paged_buf': fallback_efi.c:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `fw_grow_paged_buf' drivers/base/firmware_loader/main.o:(.text+0x73b): first defined here drivers/base/firmware_loader/fallback_efi.o: In function `fw_map_paged_buf': fallback_efi.c:(.text+0xf): multiple definition of `fw_map_paged_buf' drivers/base/firmware_loader/main.o:(.text+0x74a): first defined here [ slightly corrected the patch description -- tiwai ] Fixes: 5342e7093ff2 ("firmware: Factor out the paged buffer handling code") Fixes: 82fd7a8142a1 ("firmware: Add support for loading compressed files") Signed-off-by: Mauro Rossi Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190722055536.15342-1-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check

2019-07-19T00:08:07Z

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as minimum and maximum allowed value. On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced. The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1, int_max=INT_MAX in different source files: $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l 248 Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them instead of creating a local one for every object file.

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: improve LSM/IMA security behaviour

2019-06-18T07:10:02Z

The firmware loader queries if LSM/IMA permits it to load firmware via the sysfs fallback. Unfortunately, the code does the opposite: it expressly permits sysfs fw loading if security_kernel_load_data( LOADING_FIRMWARE) returns -EACCES. This happens because a zero-on-success return value is cast to a bool that's true on success. Fix the return value handling so we get the correct behaviour.

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: 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
