[ Upstream commit 05e75ac35ee9e38f96bbfebf1830ec2cace2e7f8 ]

People not very intimate with EFI may not know the meaning of the OVMF
acronym.  Write it in full, to help users with making good decisions
when configuring their kernels.

<title>firmware: arm_scmi: Mark VirtIO ready before registering scmi_virtio_driver</title>

<id>urn:sha1:554d66c9f9cbf65abc3c95d4fdd80e28850e6d93</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit e8faa8a466f61f4ae07069ed6b0872f602f1cba9 ]

After commit 20bda12a0ea0 (“firmware: arm_scmi: Make VirtIO transport a
standalone driver”), the VirtIO transport probes independently. During
scmi_virtio_probe, scmi_probe() is called, which intune invokes
scmi_protocol_acquire() that sends a message over the virtqueue and
waits for a reply.

Previously, DRIVER_OK was only set after scmi_vio_probe, in the core
virtio via virtio_dev_probe(). According to the Virtio spec (3.1 Device
Initialization):
  |  The driver MUST NOT send any buffer available notifications to the
  |  device before setting DRIVER_OK.

Some type-1 hypervisors block available-buffer notifications until the
driver is marked OK. In such cases, scmi_vio_probe stalls in
scmi_wait_for_reply(), and the probe never completes.

Resolve this by setting DRIVER_OK immediately after the device-specific
setup, so scmi_probe() can safely send notifications.

Note after splitting the transports into modules, the probe sequence
changed a bit. We can no longer rely on virtio_device_ready() being
called by the core in virtio_dev_probe(), because scmi_vio_probe()
doesn’t complete until the core SCMI stack runs scmi_probe(), which
immediately issues the initial BASE protocol exchanges.

case the memory-region property is expected not to be present, so do not

The API documenation of setup_mm_hdr does not mention that dptr can be
NULL, this is a local function, and no caller passes NULL. So drop the
unneeded check.

When we are low on memory or when the internal API is violated, we
cannot return EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES. According to the UEFI standard, that
error code is either related to persistent storage used for the variable
or even not foreseen as possible error (GetVariable e.g.). Use the not
fully accurate but compliant error code EFI_DEVICE_ERROR in those cases.

The communication buffer allocated by setup_mm_hdr() is later on passed
to tee_shm_register_kernel_buf(). The latter expects those buffers to be
contiguous pages, but setup_mm_hdr() just uses kmalloc(). That can cause
various corruptions or BUGs, specifically since commit 9aec2fb0fd5e
("slab: allocate frozen pages"), though it was broken before as well.

Fix this by using alloc_pages_exact() instead of kmalloc().
