commit bfbaafae8519d82d10da6abe75f5766dd5b20475 upstream.

dmi_num is a u16, dmi_len is a u32, so this construct:

	dmi_num = dmi_len / 4;

would result in an integer overflow for a DMI table larger than
256 kB. I've never see such a large table so far, but SMBIOS 3.0
makes it possible so maybe we'll see such tables in the future.

So instead of faking a structure count when the entry point does
not provide it, adjust the loop condition in dmi_table() to properly
deal with the case where dmi_num is not set.

This bug was introduced with the initial SMBIOS 3.0 support in commit
fc43026278b2 ("dmi: add support for SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point").

<title>efi/libstub: Fix boundary checking in efi_high_alloc()</title>

commit 7ed620bb343f434f8a85f830020c04988df2a140 upstream.

While adding support loading kernel and initrd above 4G to grub2 in legacy
mode, I was referring to efi_high_alloc().
That will allocate buffer for kernel and then initrd, and initrd will
use kernel buffer start as limit.

During testing found two buffers will be overlapped when initrd size is
very big like 400M.

It turns out efi_high_alloc() boundary checking is not right.
end - size will be the new start, and should not compare new
start with max, we need to make sure end is smaller than max.

[ Basically, with the current efi_high_alloc() code it's possible to
  allocate memory above 'max', because efi_high_alloc() doesn't check
  that the tail of the allocation is below 'max'.

  If you have an EFI memory map with a single entry that looks like so,

   [0xc0000000-0xc0004000]

  And want to allocate 0x3000 bytes below 0xc0003000 the current code
  will allocate [0xc0001000-0xc0004000], not [0xc0000000-0xc0003000]
  like you would expect. - Matt ]

<title>firmware: dmi_scan: Fix dmi scan to handle "End of Table" structure</title>

<content type='text'>
commit ce204e9a4bd82e9e6e7479bca8057e45aaac5c42 upstream.

The dmi-sysfs should create "End of Table" entry, that is type 127. But
after adding initial SMBIOS v3 support fc43026278b2 ("dmi: add support
for SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point") the 127-0 entry is not handled any
more, as result it's not created in dmi sysfs for instance. This is
important because the size of whole DMI table must correspond to sum of
all DMI entry sizes.

So move the end-of-table check after it's handled by dmi_table.

commit 6d9ff473317245e3e5cd9922b4520411c2296388 upstream.

According to SMBIOSv3 specification the length of DMI table can be
up to 32bits wide. So use appropriate type to avoid overflow.

It's obvious that dmi_num theoretically can be more than u16 also,
so it's can be changed to u32 or at least it's better to use int
instead of u16, but on that moment I cannot imagine dmi structure
count more than 65535 and it can require changing type of vars that
work with it. So I didn't correct it.

  Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes.  There

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "There was a lot of clean ups and minor fixes.  One of those clean ups
  was to the trace_seq code.  It also removed the return values to the
  trace_seq_*() functions and use trace_seq_has_overflowed() to see if
  the buffer filled up or not.  This is similar to work being done to
  the seq_file code as well in another tree.

  Some of the other goodies include:

   - Added some "!" (NOT) logic to the tracing filter.

   - Fixed the frame pointer logic to the x86_64 mcount trampolines

   - Added the logic for dynamic trampolines on !CONFIG_PREEMPT systems.
     That is, the ftrace trampoline can be dynamically allocated and be
     called directly by functions that only have a single hook to them"

Use the helper function trace_seq_buffer_ptr() to get the current location
of the next buffer write of a trace_seq object, instead of open coding
it.

This facilitates the conversion of trace_seq to use seq_buf.

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 84be880560fb, which itself reverted my original
attempt to move x86 from #include'ing .c files from across the tree
to using the EFI stub built as a static library.

The issue that affected the original approach was that splitting
the implementation into several .o files resulted in the variable
'efi_early' becoming a global with external linkage, which under
-fPIC implies that references to it must go through the GOT. However,
dealing with this additional GOT entry turned out to be troublesome
on some EFI implementations. (GCC's visibility=hidden attribute is
supposed to lift this requirement, but it turned out not to work on
the 32-bit build.)

Instead, use a pure getter function to get a reference to efi_early.
This approach results in no additional GOT entries being generated,
so there is no need for any changes in the early GOT handling.
