efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities

2013-02-14T18:48:53Z

commit 83e68189745ad931c2afd45d8ee3303929233e7f upstream. Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware. The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become bricked. Also, the following report, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression, if (!efi_enabled) hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time. Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons - what they really want access to is the list of available EFI facilities. For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things). This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

efi: Defer freeing boot services memory until after ACPI init

2012-10-31T17:03:18Z

commit 785107923a83d8456bbd8564e288a24d84109a46 upstream. Some new ACPI 5.0 tables reference resources stored in boot services memory, so keep that memory around until we have ACPI and can extract data from it.

x86, efi: Allow basic init with mixed 32/64-bit efi/kernel

2012-02-24T02:54:51Z

Traditionally the kernel has refused to setup EFI at all if there's been a mismatch in 32/64-bit mode between EFI and the kernel. On some platforms that boot natively through EFI (Chrome OS being one), we still need to get at least some of the static data such as memory configuration out of EFI. Runtime services aren't as critical, and it's a significant amount of work to implement switching between the operating modes to call between kernel and firmware for thise cases. So I'm ignoring it for now. v5: * Fixed some printk strings based on feedback * Renamed 32/64-bit specific types to not have _ prefix * Fixed bug in printout of efi runtime disablement v4: * Some of the earlier cleanup was accidentally reverted by this patch, fixed. * Reworded some messages to not have to line wrap printk strings v3: * Reorganized to a series of patches to make it easier to review, and do some of the cleanups I had left out before. v2: * Added graceful error handling for 32-bit kernel that gets passed EFI data above 4GB. * Removed some warnings that were missed in first version.

efi: Add EFI file I/O data types

efi.h: Add graphics protocol guids

2011-12-10T01:35:44Z

Add the allocation types detailed in section 6.2 - "AllocatePages()" of the UEFI 2.3 specification. These definitions will be used by the x86 EFI boot stub which needs to allocate memory during boot.

Add the EFI loaded image structure and protocol guid which are required by the x86 EFI boot stub. The EFI boot stub uses the structure to figure out where it was loaded in memory and to pass command line arguments to the kernel.
