commit d1eb98143c56f24fef125f5bbed49ae0b52fb7d6 upstream.

On ARM and arm64, we use a dedicated mm_struct to map the UEFI
Runtime Services regions, which allows us to map those regions
on demand, and in a way that is guaranteed to be compatible
with incoming kernels across kexec.

As it turns out, we don't fully initialize the mm_struct in the
same way as process mm_structs are initialized on fork(), which
results in the following crash on ARM if CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
is enabled:

  ...
  EFI Variables Facility v0.08 2004-May-17
  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
  [...]
  Process swapper/0 (pid: 1)
  ...
  __memzero()
  check_and_switch_context()
  virt_efi_get_next_variable()
  efivar_init()
  efivars_sysfs_init()
  do_one_initcall()
  ...

This is due to a missing call to mm_init_cpumask(), so add it.

<title>efi/fdt: Avoid FDT manipulation after ExitBootServices()</title>

Some AArch64 UEFI implementations disable the MMU in ExitBootServices(),
after which unaligned accesses to RAM are no longer supported.

Commit:

  abfb7b686a3e ("efi/libstub/arm*: Pass latest memory map to the kernel")

fixed an issue in the memory map handling of the stub FDT code, but
inadvertently created an issue with such firmware, by moving some
of the FDT manipulation to after the invocation of ExitBootServices().

Given that the stub's libfdt implementation uses the ordinary, accelerated
string functions, which rely on hardware handling of unaligned accesses,
manipulating the FDT with the MMU off may result in alignment faults.

So fix the situation by moving the update_fdt_memmap() call into the
callback function invoked by efi_exit_boot_services() right before it
calls the ExitBootServices() UEFI service (which is arguably a better
place for it anyway)

Note that disabling the MMU in ExitBootServices() is not compliant with
the UEFI spec, and carries great risk due to the fact that switching from
cached to uncached memory accesses halfway through compiler generated code
(i.e., involving a stack) can never be done in a way that is architecturally
safe.

<title>x86/efi: Don't allocate memmap through memblock after mm_init()</title>

With the following commit:

  4bc9f92e64c8 ("x86/efi-bgrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() to avoid copying image data")

...  efi_bgrt_init() calls into the memblock allocator through
efi_mem_reserve() =&gt; efi_arch_mem_reserve() *after* mm_init() has been called.

Indeed, KASAN reports a bad read access later on in efi_free_boot_services():

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in efi_free_boot_services+0xae/0x24c
            at addr ffff88022de12740

   x86_64_start_kernel+0x157/0x17a
   start_cpu+0x5/0x14

The instruction at the given address is the first read from the memmap's
memory, i.e. the read of md-&gt;type in efi_free_boot_services().

Note that the writes earlier in efi_arch_mem_reserve() don't splat because
they're done through early_memremap()ed addresses.

So, after memblock is gone, allocations should be done through the "normal"
page allocator. Introduce a helper, efi_memmap_alloc() for this. Use
it from efi_arch_mem_reserve(), efi_free_boot_services() and, for the sake
of consistency, from efi_fake_memmap() as well.

Note that for the latter, the memmap allocations cease to be page aligned.
This isn't needed though.

As reported by James Morse, the current libstub code involving the
annotated memory map only works somewhat correctly by accident, due
to the fact that a pool allocation happens to be reused immediately,
retaining its former contents on most implementations of the
UEFI boot services.

Instead of juggling memory maps, which makes the code more complex than
it needs to be, simply put placeholder values into the FDT for the memory
map parameters, and only write the actual values after ExitBootServices()
has been called.

Commit 4fd06960f120 ("Use the new x86 setup code for i386") introduced a
reference to the make variable LINUX_INCLUDE. That reference got moved
around a bit and copied twice and now there are three references to it.

There has never been a definition of that variable. (Presumably that is
because it started out as a mistyped reference to LINUXINCLUDE.) So this
reference has always been an empty string. Let's remove it before it
spreads any further.

<content type='text'>
The UEFI stub executes in the context of the firmware, which identity
maps the available system RAM, which implies that only memory below
4 GB can be used for allocations on 32-bit architectures, even on [L]PAE
capable hardware.

So ignore any reported memory above 4 GB in efi_random_alloc(). This
also fixes a reported build problem on ARM under -Os, where the 64-bit
logical shift relies on a software routine that the ARM decompressor does
not provide.

A second [minor] issue is also fixed, where the '+ 1' is moved out of
the shift, where it belongs: the reason for its presence is that a
memory region where start == end should count as a single slot, given
that 'end' takes the desired size and alignment of the allocation into
account.

To clarify the code in this regard, rename start/end to 'first_slot' and
'last_slot', respectively, and introduce 'region_end' to describe the
last usable address of the current region.

<title>x86/efi: Retrieve and assign Apple device properties</title>

<id>urn:sha1:58c5475aba67706b31d9237808d5d3d54074e5ea</id>
<content type='text'>
Apple's EFI drivers supply device properties which are needed to support
Macs optimally. They contain vital information which cannot be obtained
any other way (e.g. Thunderbolt Device ROM). They're also used to convey
the current device state so that OS drivers can pick up where EFI
drivers left (e.g. GPU mode setting).

There's an EFI driver dubbed "AAPL,PathProperties" which implements a
per-device key/value store. Other EFI drivers populate it using a custom
protocol. The macOS bootloader /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
retrieves the properties with the same protocol. The kernel extension
AppleACPIPlatform.kext subsequently merges them into the I/O Kit
registry (see ioreg(8)) where they can be queried by other kernel
extensions and user space.

This commit extends the efistub to retrieve the device properties before
ExitBootServices is called. It assigns them to devices in an fs_initcall
so that they can be queried with the API in &lt;linux/property.h&gt;.

Note that the device properties will only be available if the kernel is
booted with the efistub. Distros should adjust their installers to
always use the efistub on Macs. grub with the "linux" directive will not
work unless the functionality of this commit is duplicated in grub.
(The "linuxefi" directive should work but is not included upstream as of
this writing.)

The custom protocol has GUID 91BD12FE-F6C3-44FB-A5B7-5122AB303AE0 and
looks like this:

typedef struct {
	unsigned long version; /* 0x10000 */
	efi_status_t (*get) (
		IN	struct apple_properties_protocol *this,
		IN	struct efi_dev_path *device,
		IN	efi_char16_t *property_name,
		OUT	void *buffer,
		IN OUT	u32 *buffer_len);
		/* EFI_SUCCESS, EFI_NOT_FOUND, EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL */
	efi_status_t (*set) (
		IN	struct apple_properties_protocol *this,
		IN	struct efi_dev_path *device,
		IN	efi_char16_t *property_name,
		IN	void *property_value,
		IN	u32 property_value_len);
		/* allocates copies of property name and value */
		/* EFI_SUCCESS, EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES */
	efi_status_t (*del) (
		IN	struct apple_properties_protocol *this,
		IN	struct efi_dev_path *device,
		IN	efi_char16_t *property_name);
		/* EFI_SUCCESS, EFI_NOT_FOUND */
	efi_status_t (*get_all) (
		IN	struct apple_properties_protocol *this,
		OUT	void *buffer,
		IN OUT	u32 *buffer_len);
		/* EFI_SUCCESS, EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL */
} apple_properties_protocol;

Thanks to Pedro Vilaça for this blog post which was helpful in reverse
engineering Apple's EFI drivers and bootloader:
https://reverse.put.as/2016/06/25/apple-efi-firmware-passwords-and-the-scbo-myth/

If someone at Apple is reading this, please note there's a memory leak
in your implementation of the del() function as the property struct is
freed but the name and value allocations are not.

Neither the macOS bootloader nor Apple's EFI drivers check the protocol
version, but we do to avoid breakage if it's ever changed. It's been the
same since at least OS X 10.6 (2009).

The get_all() function conveniently fills a buffer with all properties
in marshalled form which can be passed to the kernel as a setup_data
payload. The number of device properties is dynamic and can change
between a first invocation of get_all() (to determine the buffer size)
and a second invocation (to retrieve the actual buffer), hence the
peculiar loop which does not finish until the buffer size settles.
The macOS bootloader does the same.

The setup_data payload is later on unmarshalled in an fs_initcall. The
idea is that most buses instantiate devices in "subsys" initcall level
and drivers are usually bound to these devices in "device" initcall
level, so we assign the properties in-between, i.e. in "fs" initcall
level.

This assumes that devices to which properties pertain are instantiated
from a "subsys" initcall or earlier. That should always be the case
since on macOS, AppleACPIPlatformExpert::matchEFIDevicePath() only
supports ACPI and PCI nodes and we've fully scanned those buses during
"subsys" initcall level.

The second assumption is that properties are only needed from a "device"
initcall or later. Seems reasonable to me, but should this ever not work
out, an alternative approach would be to store the property sets e.g. in
a btree early during boot. Then whenever device_add() is called, an EFI
Device Path would have to be constructed for the newly added device,
and looked up in the btree. That way, the property set could be assigned
to the device immediately on instantiation. And this would also work for
devices instantiated in a deferred fashion. It seems like this approach
would be more complicated and require more code. That doesn't seem
justified without a specific use case.

For comparison, the strategy on macOS is to assign properties to objects
in the ACPI namespace (AppleACPIPlatformExpert::mergeEFIProperties()).
That approach is definitely wrong as it fails for devices not present in
the namespace: The NHI EFI driver supplies properties for attached
Thunderbolt devices, yet on Macs with Thunderbolt 1 only one device
level behind the host controller is described in the namespace.
Consequently macOS cannot assign properties for chained devices. With
Thunderbolt 2 they started to describe three device levels behind host
controllers in the namespace but this grossly inflates the SSDT and
still fails if the user daisy-chained more than three devices.

We copy the property names and values from the setup_data payload to
swappable virtual memory and afterwards make the payload available to
the page allocator. This is just for the sake of good housekeeping, it
wouldn't occupy a meaningful amount of physical memory (4444 bytes on my
machine). Only the payload is freed, not the setup_data header since
otherwise we'd break the list linkage and we cannot safely update the
predecessor's -&gt;next link because there's no locking for the list.

The payload is currently not passed on to kexec'ed kernels, same for PCI
ROMs retrieved by setup_efi_pci(). This can be added later if there is
demand by amending setup_efi_state(). The payload can then no longer be
made available to the page allocator of course.

We're about to extended the efistub to retrieve device properties from
EFI on Apple Macs. The properties use EFI Device Paths to indicate the
device they belong to. This commit adds a parser which, given an EFI
Device Path, locates the corresponding struct device and returns a
reference to it.

Initially only ACPI and PCI Device Path nodes are supported, these are
the only types needed for Apple device properties (the corresponding
macOS function AppleACPIPlatformExpert::matchEFIDevicePath() does not
support any others). Further node types can be added with little to
moderate effort.

Apple device properties is currently the only use case of this parser,
but Peter Jones intends to use it to match up devices with the
ConInDev/ConOutDev/ErrOutDev variables and add sysfs attributes to these
devices to say the hardware supports using them as console. Thus,
make this parser a separate component which can be selected with config
option EFI_DEV_PATH_PARSER. It can in principle be compiled as a module
if acpi_get_first_physical_node() and acpi_bus_type are exported (and
efi_get_device_by_path() itself is exported).

The dependency on CONFIG_ACPI is needed for acpi_match_device_ids().
It can be removed if an empty inline stub is added for that function.
