efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default

2016-04-12T02:44:23Z

[ Upstream commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 ] "rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required to POST the hardware. These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

efi: Make our variable validation list include the guid

2016-04-12T02:44:23Z

[ Upstream commit 8282f5d9c17fe15a9e658c06e3f343efae1a2a2f ] All the variables in this list so far are defined to be in the global namespace in the UEFI spec, so this just further ensures we're validating the variables we think we are. Including the guid for entries will become more important in future patches when we decide whether or not to allow deletion of variables based on presence in this list.

Perhaps the biggest risk is the get_memory_map() change from Ard, which changes the way that both the arm64 and x86 EFI boot stub build the early memory map.

efi: split off remapping code from efi_config_init()

2015-01-12T08:16:55Z

Split of the remapping code from efi_config_init() so that the caller can perform its own remapping. This is necessary to correctly handle virtually remapped UEFI memory regions under kexec, as efi.systab will have been updated to a virtual address.

efi: dmi: add support for SMBIOS 3.0 UEFI configuration table

2014-11-05T08:03:16Z

This adds support to the UEFI side for detecting the presence of a SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point. This allows the actual SMBIOS structure table to reside at a physical offset over 4 GB, which cannot be supported by the legacy SMBIOS 32-bit entry point. Since the firmware can legally provide both entry points, store the SMBIOS 3.0 entry point in a separate variable, and let the DMI decoding layer decide which one will be used.

efi: Provide a non-blocking SetVariable() operation

2014-10-03T17:41:03Z

There are some circumstances that call for trying to write an EFI variable in a non-blocking way. One such scenario is when writing pstore data in efi_pstore_write() via the pstore_dump() kdump callback. Now that we have an EFI runtime spinlock we need a way of aborting if there is contention instead of spinning, since when writing pstore data from the kdump callback, the runtime lock may already be held by the CPU that's running the callback if we crashed in the middle of an EFI variable operation. The situation is sufficiently special that a new EFI variable operation is warranted. Introduce ->set_variable_nonblocking() for this use case. It is an optional EFI backend operation, and need only be implemented by those backends that usually acquire locks to serialize access to EFI variables, as is the case for virt_efi_set_variable() where we now grab the EFI runtime spinlock.

efi: Introduce efi_md_typeattr_format()

2014-10-03T17:41:00Z

At the moment, there are three architectures debug-printing the EFI memory map at initialization: x86, ia64, and arm64. They all use different format strings, plus the EFI memory type and the EFI memory attributes are similarly hard to decode for a human reader. Introduce a helper __init function that formats the memory type and the memory attributes in a unified way, to a user-provided character buffer. The array "memory_type_name" is copied from the arm64 code, temporarily duplicating it. The (otherwise optional) braces around each string literal in the initializer list are dropped in order to match the kernel coding style more closely. The element size is tightened from 32 to 20 bytes (maximum actual string length + 1) so that we can derive the field width from the element size.
