* efi: Fix build error due to enum collision between efi.h and ima.hAnders Roxell2019-04-051-24/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Upstream commit 5c418dc789a3898717ebf2caa5716ba91a7150b2 ] The following commit: a893ea15d764 ("tpm: move tpm_chip definition to include/linux/tpm.h") introduced a build error when both IMA and EFI are enabled: In file included from ../security/integrity/ima/ima_fs.c:30: ../security/integrity/ima/ima.h:176:7: error: redeclaration of enumerator "NONE" What happens is that both headers (ima.h and efi.h) defines the same 'NONE' constant, and it broke when they started getting included from the same file: Rework to prefix the EFI enum with 'EFI_*'.

* efi/x86: Handle page faults occurring while running EFI runtime servicesSai Praneeth2018-09-261-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Memory accesses performed by UEFI runtime services should be limited to: - reading/executing from EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_CODE memory regions - reading/writing from/to EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA memory regions - reading/writing by-ref arguments - reading/writing from/to the stack. Accesses outside these regions may cause the kernel to hang because the memory region requested by the firmware isn't mapped in efi_pgd, which causes a page fault in ring 0 and the kernel fails to handle it, leading to die(). To save kernel from hanging, add an EFI specific page fault handler which recovers from such faults by 1. If the efi runtime service is efi_reset_system(), reboot the machine through BIOS. 2. If the efi runtime service is _not_ efi_reset_system(), then freeze efi_rts_wq and schedule a new process. The EFI page fault handler offers us two advantages: 1. Avoid potential hangs caused by buggy firmware. 2. Shout loud that the firmware is buggy and hence is not a kernel bug.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the kernel has booted, if any accesses by firmware causes a page fault, the efi page fault handler would freeze efi_rts_wq and schedules a new process.

There will be no race conditions in accessing this structure, because all the calls to efi runtime services are already serialized.

* efi: Use a work queue to invoke EFI Runtime ServicesSai Praneeth2018-07-161-15/+187
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently, when a user process requests the kernel to execute any UEFI runtime service, the kernel temporarily switches to a separate set of page tables that describe the virtual mapping of the UEFI runtime services regions in memory. Since UEFI runtime services are typically invoked with interrupts enabled, any code that may be called during this time, will have an incorrect view of the process's address space. Although it is unusual for code running in interrupt context to make assumptions about the process context it runs in, there are cases (such as the perf subsystem taking samples) where this causes problems. So let's set up a work queue for calling UEFI runtime services, so that the actual calls are made when the work queue items are dispatched by a work queue worker running in a separate kernel thread. Such threads are not expected to have userland mappings in the first place, and so the additional mappings created for the UEFI runtime services can never clash with any. The ResetSystem() runtime service is not covered by the work queue handling, since it is not expected to return, and may be called at a time when the kernel is torn down to the point where we cannot expect work queues to still be operational. The non-blocking variants of SetVariable() and QueryVariableInfo() are also excluded: these are intended to be used from atomic context, which obviously rules out waiting for a completion to be signalled by another thread. Note that these variants are currently only used for UEFI runtime services calls that occur very early in the boot, and for ones that occur in critical conditions, e.g., to flush kernel logs to UEFI variables via efi-pstore.

* efi: Replace runtime services spinlock with semaphoreArd Biesheuvel2016-09-091-32/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of the efi_runtime_lock is to prevent concurrent calls into the firmware. There is no need to use spinlocks here, as long as we ensure that runtime service invocations from an atomic context (i.e., EFI pstore) cannot block. So use a semaphore instead, and use down_trylock() in the nonblocking case. We don't use a mutex here because the mutex_trylock() function must not be called from interrupt context, whereas the down_trylock() can.

* efi: Convert efi_call_virt() to efi_call_virt_pointer()Alex Thorlton2016-06-271-43/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit makes a few slight modifications to the efi_call_virt() macro to get it to work with function pointers that are stored in locations other than efi.systab->runtime, and renames the macro to efi_call_virt_pointer(). The majority of the changes here are to pull these macros up into header files so that they can be accessed from outside of drivers/firmware/efi/runtime-wrappers.c. The most significant change not directly related to the code move is to add an extra "p" argument into the appropriate efi_call macros, and use that new argument in place of the, formerly hard-coded, efi.systab->runtime pointer. The last piece of the puzzle was to add an efi_call_virt() macro back into drivers/firmware/efi/runtime-wrappers.c to wrap around the new efi_call_virt_pointer() macro - this was mainly to keep the code from looking too cluttered by adding a bunch of extra references to efi.systab->runtime everywhere. Note that I also broke up the code in the efi_call_virt_pointer() macro a bit in the process of moving it.

* efi/runtime-wrappers: Detect firmware IRQ flag corruptionMark Rutland2016-04-281-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The UEFI spec allows runtime services to be called with interrupts masked or unmasked, and if a runtime service function needs to mask interrupts, it must restore the mask to its original state before returning (i.e. from the PoV of the OS, this does not change across a call). Firmware should never unmask exceptions, as these may then be taken by the OS unexpectedly. Unfortunately, some firmware has been seen to unmask IRQs (and potentially other maskable exceptions) across runtime services calls, leaving IRQ flags corrupted after returning from a runtime services function call. This may be detected by the IRQ tracing code, but often goes unnoticed, leaving a potentially disastrous bug hidden. This patch detects when the IRQ flags are corrupted by an EFI runtime services call, logging the call and specific corruption to the console. While restoring the expected value of the flags is insufficient to avoid problems, we do so to avoid redundant warnings from elsewhere (e.g. IRQ tracing). The set of bits in flags which we want to check is architecture-specific (e.g. we want to check FIQ on arm64, but not the zero flag on x86), so each arch must provide ARCH_EFI_IRQ_FLAGS_MASK to describe those. In the absence of this mask, the check is a no-op, and we redundantly save the flags twice, but that will be short-lived as subsequent patches will implement this and remove the scaffolding.

* efi/runtime-wrappers: Add {__,}efi_call_virt() templatesMark Rutland2016-04-281-0/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently each architecture must implement two macros, efi_call_virt() and __efi_call_virt(), which only differ by the presence or absence of a return type. Otherwise, the logic surrounding the call is identical. As each architecture must define the entire body of each, we can't place any generic manipulation (e.g. irq flag validation) in the middle. This patch adds template implementations of these macros. With these, arch code can implement three template macros, avoiding reptition for the void/non-void return cases: * arch_efi_call_virt_setup() Sets up the environment for the call (e.g. switching page tables, allowing kernel-mode use of floating point, if required). * arch_efi_call_virt() Performs the call. The last expression in the macro must be the call itself, allowing the logic to be shared by the void and non-void cases. * arch_efi_call_virt_teardown() Restores the usual kernel environment once the call has returned. While the savings from repition are minimal, we additionally gain the ability to add common code around the call with the call environment set up. This can be used to detect common firmware issues (e.g. bad irq mask management).

* efi/runtime-wrappers: Run UEFI Runtime Services with interrupts enabledArd Biesheuvel2016-02-221-43/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The UEFI spec allows Runtime Services to be invoked with interrupts enabled. The only reason we were disabling interrupts was to prevent recursive calls into the services on the same CPU, which will lead to deadlock. However, the only context where such invocations may occur legally is from efi-pstore via efivars, and that code has been updated to call a non-blocking alternative when invoked from a non-interruptible context. So instead, update the ordinary, blocking UEFI Runtime Services wrappers to execute with interrupts enabled. This aims to prevent excessive interrupt latencies on uniprocessor platforms with slow variable stores. Note that other OSes such as Windows call UEFI Runtime Services with interrupts enabled as well.

* efi: Delete the in_nmi() conditional runtime lockingMatt Fleming2014-10-031-13/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 5dc3826d9f08 ("efi: Implement mandatory locking for UEFI Runtime Services") implemented some conditional locking when accessing variable runtime services that Ingo described as "pretty disgusting". The intention with the !efi_in_nmi() checks was to avoid live-locks when trying to write pstore crash data into an EFI variable. Such lockless accesses are allowed according to the UEFI specification when we're in a "non-recoverable" state, but whether or not things are implemented correctly in actual firmware implementations remains an unanswered question, and so it would seem sensible to avoid doing any kind of unsynchronized variable accesses. Furthermore, the efi_in_nmi() tests are inadequate because they don't account for the case where we call EFI variable services from panic or oops callbacks and aren't executing in NMI context. In other words, live-locking is still possible. Let's just remove the conditional locking altogether. Now we've got the ->set_variable_nonblocking() EFI variable operation we can abort if the runtime lock is already held. Aborting is by far the safest option.

* efi: Provide a non-blocking SetVariable() operationMatt Fleming2014-10-031-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Implement mandatory locking for UEFI Runtime ServicesArd Biesheuvel2014-10-031-10/+144
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to section 7.1 of the UEFI spec, Runtime Services are not fully reentrant, and there are particular combinations of calls that need to be serialized. Use a spinlock to serialize all Runtime Services with respect to all others, even if this is more than strictly needed. We've managed to get away without requiring a runtime services lock until now because most of the interactions with EFI involve EFI variables, and those operations are already serialised with __efivars->lock. Some of the assumptions underlying the decision whether locks are needed or not (e.g., SetVariable() against ResetSystem()) may not apply universally to all [new] architectures that implement UEFI. Rather than try to reason our way out of this, let's just implement at least what the spec requires in terms of locking.
