WANG RuiandHuacai Chen 03d8273542 efi/loongarch: Randomize kernel preferred address for KASLR
Introduce efi_get_kimg_kaslr_address() helper to compute the preferred
kernel image load address dynamically when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is
enabled. The function derives a random offset by using the EFI-provided
randomness combined with the timer tick value, and constrains it within
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET.

Update EFI_KIMG_PREFERRED_ADDRESS to call this helper so that the EFI
stub can select a randomized load address when KASLR is active, while
preserving the original base address behavior when KASLR is disabled or
"nokaslr" is specified.

Note: LoongArch can't KASLR for hibernation, so set efi_nokaslr to true
if "resume=<devname>" is explicitly specified in cmdline.

Ard Biesheuvel 13c6da02e7 efi: Allocate runtime workqueue before ACPI init
Since commit

  5894cf571e ("acpi/prmt: Use EFI runtime sandbox to invoke PRM handlers")

ACPI PRM calls are delegated to a workqueue which runs in a kernel
thread, making it easier to detect and mitigate faulting memory accesses
performed by the firmware.

Rafael reports that such PRM accesses may occur before efisubsys_init()
executes, which is where the workqueue is allocated, leading to NULL
pointer dereferences. Since acpi_init() [which triggers the early PRM
accesses] executes as a subsys_initcall() as well, and has its own
dependencies that may be sensitive to initcall ordering, deferring
acpi_init() is not an option.

So instead, split off the workqueue allocation into its own postcore
initcall, as this is the only missing piece to allow EFI runtime calls
to be made. This ensures that EFI runtime call (including PRM calls) are
accessible to all code running at subsys_initcall() level.

Thomas HuthandArd Biesheuvel 48a4282157 efi/capsule-loader: fix incorrect sizeof in phys array reallocation
The krealloc() call for cap_info->phys in __efi_capsule_setup_info() uses
sizeof(phys_addr_t *) instead of sizeof(phys_addr_t), which might be
causing an undersized allocation.

The allocation is also inconsistent with the initial array allocation in
efi_capsule_open() that allocates one entry with sizeof(phys_addr_t),
and the efi_capsule_write() function that stores phys_addr_t values (not
pointers) via page_to_phys().

On 64-bit systems where sizeof(phys_addr_t) == sizeof(phys_addr_t *), this
goes unnoticed. On 32-bit systems with PAE where phys_addr_t is 64-bit but
pointers are 32-bit, this allocates half the required space, which might
lead to a heap buffer overflow when storing physical addresses.

This is similar to the bug fixed in commit fccfa646ef ("efi/capsule-loader:
fix incorrect allocation size") which fixed the same issue at the initial
allocation site.

Ard Biesheuvel 259e3e6f93 efi: Tag memblock reservations of boot services regions as RSRV_KERN
By definition, EFI memory regions of type boot services code or data
have no special significance to the firmware at runtime, only to the OS.
In some cases, the firmware will allocate tables and other assets that
are passed in memory in regions of this type, and leave it up to the OS
to decide whether or not to treat the allocation as special, or simply
consume the contents at boot and recycle the RAM for ordinary use. The
reason for this approach is that it avoids needless memory reservations
for assets that the OS knows nothing about, and therefore doesn't know
how to free either.

This means that any memblock reservations covering such regions can be
marked as MEMBLOCK_RSRV_KERN - this is a better match semantically, and
is useful on x86 to distinguish true reservations from temporary
reservations that are only needed to work around firmware bugs.

Ard Biesheuvel 5d0faa8e83 efi/memattr: Fix thinko in table size sanity check
While it is true that each PE/COFF runtime driver in memory can
generally be split into 3 different regions (the header, the code/rodata
region and the data/bss region), each with different permissions, it
does not mean that 3x the size of the memory map is a suitable upper
bound. This is due to the fact that all runtime drivers could be
coalesced into a single EFI runtime code region by the firmware, and if
the firmware does a good job of keeping the fragmentation down, it is
conceivable that the memory attributes table has more entries than the
EFI memory map itself.

So instead, base the sanity check on whether the descriptor size matches
the EFI memory map's descriptor size closely enough (which is not
mandated by the spec but extremely unlikely to differ in practice), and
whether the size of the whole table does not exceed 64k entries.

EFI_MEMMAP is not. Xen will take care of preserving the image even if
EfiBootServicesData memory is reclaimed already, or invalidate the table
if it didn't preserve it - in both cases accesing the table itself under
virt is safe. Also allow the ESRT to be in reclaimable memory, as that
is where future Xen versions will put it.

Exposing the efi_rts_wq workqueue via sysfs provides an easy mechanism

This can be used to restrict EFI invocations to specific CPUs while

Expose the workqueue via sysfs. Change the name to efi_runtime which is
what will be visible under sysfs.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)andArd Biesheuvel a4b0bf6a40 x86/efi: defer freeing of boot services memory
efi_free_boot_services() frees memory occupied by EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE
and EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA using memblock_free_late().

There are two issue with that: memblock_free_late() should be used for
memory allocated with memblock_alloc() while the memory reserved with
memblock_reserve() should be freed with free_reserved_area().

More acutely, with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=y
efi_free_boot_services() is called before deferred initialization of the
memory map is complete.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt reports that this causes a leak of ~140MB of
RAM on EC2 t3a.nano instances which only have 512MB or RAM.

If the freed memory resides in the areas that memory map for them is
still uninitialized, they won't be actually freed because
memblock_free_late() calls memblock_free_pages() and the latter skips
uninitialized pages.

Using free_reserved_area() at this point is also problematic because
__free_page() accesses the buddy of the freed page and that again might
end up in uninitialized part of the memory map.

Delaying the entire efi_free_boot_services() could be problematic
because in addition to freeing boot services memory it updates
efi.memmap without any synchronization and that's undesirable late in
boot when there is concurrency.

More robust approach is to only defer freeing of the EFI boot services
memory.

Split efi_free_boot_services() in two. First efi_unmap_boot_services()
collects ranges that should be freed into an array then
efi_free_boot_services() later frees them after deferred init is complete.
