commit d114a33387472555188f142ed8e98acdb8181c6d upstream. Send the entire DMI (SMBIOS) table to the /dev/random driver to help seed its pools. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

pcdp: use early_ioremap/early_iounmap to access pcdp table

2012-08-09T23:25:00Z

commit 6c4088ac3a4d82779903433bcd5f048c58fb1aca upstream. efi_setup_pcdp_console() is called during boot to parse the HCDP/PCDP EFI system table and setup an early console for printk output. The routine uses ioremap/iounmap to setup access to the HCDP/PCDP table information. The call to ioremap is happening early in the boot process which leads to a panic on x86_64 systems: panic+0x01ca do_exit+0x043c oops_end+0x00a7 no_context+0x0119 __bad_area_nosemaphore+0x0138 bad_area_nosemaphore+0x000e do_page_fault+0x0321 page_fault+0x0020 reserve_memtype+0x02a1 __ioremap_caller+0x0123 ioremap_nocache+0x0012 efi_setup_pcdp_console+0x002b setup_arch+0x03a9 start_kernel+0x00d4 x86_64_start_reservations+0x012c x86_64_start_kernel+0x00fe This replaces the calls to ioremap/iounmap in efi_setup_pcdp_console() with calls to early_ioremap/early_iounmap which can be called during early boot. This patch was tested on an x86_64 prototype system which uses the HCDP/PCDP table for early console setup.

efivars: Improve variable validation

2012-05-11T12:14:49Z

commit 54b3a4d311c98ad94b737802a8b5f2c8c6bfd627 upstream. Ben Hutchings pointed out that the validation in efivars was inadequate - most obviously, an entry with size 0 would server as a DoS against the kernel. Improve this based on his suggestions.

efi: Validate UEFI boot variables

2012-05-11T12:14:48Z

commit fec6c20b570bcf541e581fc97f2e0cbdb9725b98 upstream. A common flaw in UEFI systems is a refusal to POST triggered by a malformed boot variable. Once in this state, machines may only be restored by reflashing their firmware with an external hardware device. While this is obviously a firmware bug, the serious nature of the outcome suggests that operating systems should filter their variable writes in order to prevent a malicious user from rendering the machine unusable.

ibft: Fix finding IBFT ACPI table on UEFI

2011-12-13T14:08:31Z

Found one system with UEFI/iBFT, kernel does not detect the iBFT during iscsi_ibft module loading. Root cause: on x86 (UEFI), we are calling of find_ibft_region() much earlier - specifically in setup_arch() before ACPI is enabled. Try to split acpi checking code out and call that later At that time ACPI iBFT already get permanent mapped with ioremap. So isa_virt_to_bus() will get wrong phys from right virt address. We could just skip that phys address printing. For legacy one, print the found address early. -v2: update comments and description according to Konrad. -v3: fix problem about module use case that is found by Konrad. -v4: use acpi_get_table() instead of acpi_table_parse() to handle module use case that is found by Konrad again..

firmware: Sigma: Fix endianess issues

2011-11-29T11:59:50Z

Currently the SigmaDSP firmware loader only works correctly on little-endian systems. Fix this by using the proper endianess conversion functions. Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen Acked-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Mark Brown Cc: stable@kernel.org

firmware: Sigma: Skip header during CRC generation

2011-11-29T11:59:44Z

The firmware header is not part of the CRC, so skip it. Otherwise the firmware will be rejected due to non-matching CRCs. Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen Acked-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Mark Brown Cc: stable@kernel.org

firmware: Sigma: Prevent out of bounds memory access

2011-11-29T11:53:53Z

The SigmaDSP firmware loader currently does not perform enough boundary size checks when processing the firmware. As a result it is possible that a malformed firmware can cause an out of bounds memory access. This patch adds checks which ensure that both the action header and the payload are completely inside the firmware data boundaries before processing them.
