Commit:
82c3768b8d ("efi/capsule-loader: Use a cached copy of the capsule header")
... refactored the capsule loading code that maps the capsule header,
to avoid having to map it several times.
However, as it turns out, the vmap() call we ended up removing did not
just map the header, but the entire capsule image, and dropping this
virtual mapping breaks capsules that are processed by the firmware
immediately (i.e., without a reboot).
Unfortunately, that change was part of a larger refactor that allowed
a quirk to be implemented for Quark, which has a non-standard memory
layout for capsules, and we have slightly painted ourselves into a
corner by allowing quirk code to mangle the capsule header and memory
layout.
So we need to fix this without breaking Quark. Fortunately, Quark does
not appear to care about the virtual mapping, and so we can simply
do a partial revert of commit:
2a457fb31d ("efi/capsule-loader: Use page addresses rather than struct page pointers")
... and create a vmap() mapping of the entire capsule (including header)
based on the reinstated struct page array, unless running on Quark, in
which case we pass the capsule header copy as before.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

- Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space
and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old
limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an
ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)
Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles,
v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by
default.
(By Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system
RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the
CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from
encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various
attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the
radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and
decrypt) as well.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled
by default.
(By Tom Lendacky)
- Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a
hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries
and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we
switch mm's.

Some machines, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad W541 with firmware GNET80WW
(2.28), include memory map entries with phys_addr=0x0 and num_pages=0.
These machines fail to boot after the following commit,
commit 8e80632fb2 ("efi/esrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() and avoid a kmalloc()")
Fix this by removing such bogus entries from the memory map.
Furthermore, currently the log output for this case (with efi=debug)
looks like:
[ 0.000000] efi: mem45: [Reserved | | | | | | | | | | | | ] range=[0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff] (0MB)
This is clearly wrong, and also not as informative as it could be. This
patch changes it so that if we find obviously invalid memory map
entries, we print an error and skip those entries. It also detects the
display of the address range calculation overflow, so the new output is:
[ 0.000000] efi: [Firmware Bug]: Invalid EFI memory map entries:
[ 0.000000] efi: mem45: [Reserved | | | | | | | | | | | | ] range=[0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000000] (invalid)
It also detects memory map sizes that would overflow the physical
address, for example phys_addr=0xfffffffffffff000 and
num_pages=0x0200000000000001, and prints:
[ 0.000000] efi: [Firmware Bug]: Invalid EFI memory map entries:
[ 0.000000] efi: mem45: [Reserved | | | | | | | | | | | | ] range=[phys_addr=0xfffffffffffff000-0x20ffffffffffffffff] (invalid)
It then removes these entries from the memory map.

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.

Apple's EFI drivers supply device properties which are needed to support
Macs optimally. They contain vital information which cannot be obtained
any other way (e.g. Thunderbolt Device ROM). They're also used to convey
the current device state so that OS drivers can pick up where EFI
drivers left (e.g. GPU mode setting).
There's an EFI driver dubbed "AAPL,PathProperties" which implements a
per-device key/value store. Other EFI drivers populate it using a custom
protocol. The macOS bootloader /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
retrieves the properties with the same protocol. The kernel extension
AppleACPIPlatform.kext subsequently merges them into the I/O Kit
registry (see ioreg(8)) where they can be queried by other kernel
extensions and user space.
This commit extends the efistub to retrieve the device properties before
ExitBootServices is called. It assigns them to devices in an fs_initcall
so that they can be queried with the API in <linux/property.h>.
Note that the device properties will only be available if the kernel is
booted with the efistub. Distros should adjust their installers to
always use the efistub on Macs. grub with the "linux" directive will not
work unless the functionality of this commit is duplicated in grub.
(The "linuxefi" directive should work but is not included upstream as of
this writing.)
The custom protocol has GUID 91BD12FE-F6C3-44FB-A5B7-5122AB303AE0 and
looks like this:
typedef struct {
unsigned long version; /* 0x10000 */
efi_status_t (*get) (
IN struct apple_properties_protocol *this,
IN struct efi_dev_path *device,
IN efi_char16_t *property_name,
OUT void *buffer,
IN OUT u32 *buffer_len);
/* EFI_SUCCESS, EFI_NOT_FOUND, EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL */
efi_status_t (*set) (
IN struct apple_properties_protocol *this,
IN struct efi_dev_path *device,
IN efi_char16_t *property_name,
IN void *property_value,
IN u32 property_value_len);
/* allocates copies of property name and value */
/* EFI_SUCCESS, EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES */
efi_status_t (*del) (
IN struct apple_properties_protocol *this,
IN struct efi_dev_path *device,
IN efi_char16_t *property_name);
/* EFI_SUCCESS, EFI_NOT_FOUND */
efi_status_t (*get_all) (
IN struct apple_properties_protocol *this,

/* EFI_SUCCESS, EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL */
} apple_properties_protocol;
Thanks to Pedro Vilaça for this blog post which was helpful in reverse
engineering Apple's EFI drivers and bootloader:
https://reverse.put.as/2016/06/25/apple-efi-firmware-passwords-and-the-scbo-myth/
If someone at Apple is reading this, please note there's a memory leak
in your implementation of the del() function as the property struct is
freed but the name and value allocations are not.
Neither the macOS bootloader nor Apple's EFI drivers check the protocol
version, but we do to avoid breakage if it's ever changed. It's been the
same since at least OS X 10.6 (2009).
The get_all() function conveniently fills a buffer with all properties
in marshalled form which can be passed to the kernel as a setup_data
payload. The number of device properties is dynamic and can change
between a first invocation of get_all() (to determine the buffer size)
and a second invocation (to retrieve the actual buffer), hence the
peculiar loop which does not finish until the buffer size settles.
The macOS bootloader does the same.
The setup_data payload is later on unmarshalled in an fs_initcall. The
idea is that most buses instantiate devices in "subsys" initcall level
and drivers are usually bound to these devices in "device" initcall
level, so we assign the properties in-between, i.e. in "fs" initcall
level.
This assumes that devices to which properties pertain are instantiated
from a "subsys" initcall or earlier. That should always be the case
since on macOS, AppleACPIPlatformExpert::matchEFIDevicePath() only
supports ACPI and PCI nodes and we've fully scanned those buses during
"subsys" initcall level.
The second assumption is that properties are only needed from a "device"
initcall or later. Seems reasonable to me, but should this ever not work
out, an alternative approach would be to store the property sets e.g. in
a btree early during boot. Then whenever device_add() is called, an EFI
Device Path would have to be constructed for the newly added device,
and looked up in the btree. That way, the property set could be assigned
to the device immediately on instantiation. And this would also work for
devices instantiated in a deferred fashion. It seems like this approach
would be more complicated and require more code. That doesn't seem
justified without a specific use case.
For comparison, the strategy on macOS is to assign properties to objects
in the ACPI namespace (AppleACPIPlatformExpert::mergeEFIProperties()).
That approach is definitely wrong as it fails for devices not present in
the namespace: The NHI EFI driver supplies properties for attached
Thunderbolt devices, yet on Macs with Thunderbolt 1 only one device
level behind the host controller is described in the namespace.
Consequently macOS cannot assign properties for chained devices. With
Thunderbolt 2 they started to describe three device levels behind host
controllers in the namespace but this grossly inflates the SSDT and
still fails if the user daisy-chained more than three devices.
We copy the property names and values from the setup_data payload to
swappable virtual memory and afterwards make the payload available to
the page allocator. This is just for the sake of good housekeeping, it
wouldn't occupy a meaningful amount of physical memory (4444 bytes on my
machine). Only the payload is freed, not the setup_data header since
otherwise we'd break the list linkage and we cannot safely update the
predecessor's ->next link because there's no locking for the list.
The payload is currently not passed on to kexec'ed kernels, same for PCI
ROMs retrieved by setup_efi_pci(). This can be added later if there is
demand by amending setup_efi_state(). The payload can then no longer be
made available to the page allocator of course.

We're about to extended the efistub to retrieve device properties from
EFI on Apple Macs. The properties use EFI Device Paths to indicate the
device they belong to. This commit adds a parser which, given an EFI
Device Path, locates the corresponding struct device and returns a
reference to it.
Initially only ACPI and PCI Device Path nodes are supported, these are
the only types needed for Apple device properties (the corresponding
macOS function AppleACPIPlatformExpert::matchEFIDevicePath() does not
support any others). Further node types can be added with little to
moderate effort.
Apple device properties is currently the only use case of this parser,
but Peter Jones intends to use it to match up devices with the
ConInDev/ConOutDev/ErrOutDev variables and add sysfs attributes to these
devices to say the hardware supports using them as console. Thus,
make this parser a separate component which can be selected with config
option EFI_DEV_PATH_PARSER. It can in principle be compiled as a module
if acpi_get_first_physical_node() and acpi_bus_type are exported (and
efi_get_device_by_path() itself is exported).
The dependency on CONFIG_ACPI is needed for acpi_match_device_ids().
It can be removed if an empty inline stub is added for that function.
