commit c8f325a59cfc718d13a50fbc746ed9b415c25e92 upstream.

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>

commit 20b1e22d01a4b0b11d3a1066e9feb04be38607ec upstream.

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
  Read of size 4 by task swapper/0/0
  page:ffffea0008b78480 count:0 mapcount:-127

   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.

commit abfb7b686a3e5be27bf81db62f9c5c895b76f5d1 upstream.

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.

<title>efi/arm: Fix absolute relocation detection for older toolchains</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b0dddf6c147e6fe61374d625c4bb2b7c52018639</id>
<content type='text'>
When building the ARM kernel with CONFIG_EFI=y, the following build
error may occur when using a less recent version of binutils (2.23 or
older):

   STUBCPY drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-sort.stub.o
 00000000 R_ARM_ABS32       sort
 00000004 R_ARM_ABS32       __ksymtab_strings
 drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-sort.stub.o: absolute symbol references not allowed in the EFI stub

(and when building with debug symbols, the list above is much longer, and
contains all the internal references between the .debug sections and the
actual code)

This issue is caused by the fact that objcopy v2.23 or earlier does not
support wildcards in its -R and -j options, which means the following
line from the Makefile:

  STUBCOPY_FLAGS-y		:= -R .debug* -R *ksymtab* -R *kcrctab*

fails to take effect, leaving harmless absolute relocations in the binary
that are indistinguishable from relocations that may cause crashes at
runtime due to the fact that these relocations are resolved at link time
using the virtual address of the kernel, which is always different from
the address at which the EFI firmware loads and invokes the stub.

So, as a workaround, disable debug symbols explicitly when building the
stub for ARM, and strip the ksymtab and kcrctab symbols for the only
exported symbol we currently reuse in the stub, which is 'sort'.

 "Main changes in this cycle were:

   - Refactor the EFI memory map code into architecture neutral files
     and allow drivers to permanently reserve EFI boot services regions

   - Add ARM support for the EFI ESRT driver. (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Make the EFI runtime services and efivar API interruptible by
     swapping spinlocks for semaphores. (Sylvain Chouleur)

   - Provide the EFI identity mapping for kexec which allows kexec to
     work on SGI/UV platforms with requiring the "noefi" kernel command
     line parameter. (Alex Thorlton)

   - Add debugfs node to dump EFI page tables on arm64. (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Merge the EFI test driver being carried out of tree until now in
     the FWTS project. (Ivan Hu)

   - Expand the list of flags for classifying EFI regions as "RAM" on
     arm64 so we align with the UEFI spec. (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Optimise out the EFI mixed mode if it's unsupported (CONFIG_X86_32)
     or disabled (CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=n) and switch the early EFI boot
     services function table for direct calls, alleviating us from
     having to maintain the custom function table. (Lukas Wunner)
