Just like with PCI options ROMs, which we save in the setup_efi_pci* functions from arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c, the EFI code / ROM itself sometimes may contain data which is useful/necessary for peripheral drivers to have access to. Specifically the EFI code may contain an embedded copy of firmware which needs to be (re)loaded into the peripheral. Normally such firmware would be part of linux-firmware, but in some cases this is not feasible, for 2 reasons: 1) The firmware is customized for a specific use-case of the chipset / use with a specific hardware model, so we cannot have a single firmware file for the chipset. E.g. touchscreen controller firmwares are compiled specifically for the hardware model they are used with, as they are calibrated for a specific model digitizer. 2) Despite repeated attempts we have failed to get permission to redistribute the firmware. This is especially a problem with customized firmwares, these get created by the chip vendor for a specific ODM and the copyright may partially belong with the ODM, so the chip vendor cannot give a blanket permission to distribute these. This commit adds support for finding peripheral firmware embedded in the EFI code and makes the found firmware available through the new efi_get_embedded_fw() function. Support for loading these firmwares through the standard firmware loading mechanism is added in a follow-up commit in this patch-series. Note we check the EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE for embedded firmware near the end of start_kernel(), just before calling rest_init(), this is on purpose because the typical EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE memory-segment is too large for early_memremap(), so the check must be done after mm_init(). This relies on EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE not being free-ed until efi_free_boot_services() is called, which means that this will only work on x86 for now.

Sometimes it is useful to be able to dump the efi boot-services code and data. This commit adds these as debugfs-blobs to /sys/kernel/debug/efi, but only if efi=debug is passed on the kernel-commandline as this requires not freeing those memory-regions, which costs 20+ MB of RAM.

The following commit: ef5a7b5e ("efi/x86: Remove GDT setup from efi_main") introduced GDT setup into the 32-bit kernel's startup_32, and reloads the GDTR after relocating the kernel for paranoia's sake. A followup commit: 32d00913 ("x86/boot: Reload GDTR after copying to the end of the buffer") introduced a similar GDTR reload in the 64-bit kernel as well. The GDTR is adjusted by (init_size-_end), however this may not be the correct offset to apply if the kernel was loaded at a misaligned address or below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR, as in that case the decompression buffer has an additional offset from the original load address. This should never happen for a conformant bootloader, but we're being paranoid anyway, so just store the new GDT address in there instead of adding any offsets, which is simpler as well.

Recent changes to the way we deal with EFI runtime services that are marked as unsupported by the firmware resulted in a regression for non-EFI boot. The problem is that all EFI runtime services are marked as available by default, and any non-NULL checks on the EFI service function pointers (which will be non-NULL even for runtime services that are unsupported on an EFI boot) were replaced with checks against the mask stored in efi.runtime_supported_mask. When doing a non-EFI boot, this check against the mask will return a false positive, given the fact that all runtime services are marked as enabled by default. Since we dropped the non-NULL check of the runtime service function pointer in favor of the mask check, we will now unconditionally dereference the function pointer, even if it is NULL, and go boom. So let's ensure that the mask reflects reality on a non-EFI boot, which is that all EFI runtime services are unsupported.

Commit 9f922377 ("efi/libstub/arm: Make efi_entry() an ordinary PE/COFF entrypoint") modified the handover code written in assembler, and for maintainability, aligned the logic with the logic used in the 32-bit ARM version, which is to avoid cache maintenance on the remaining instructions in the subroutine that will be executed with the MMU and caches off, and instead, branch into the relocated copy of the kernel image. However, this assumes that this copy is executable, and this means we expect EFI_LOADER_DATA regions to be executable as well, which is not a reasonable assumption to make, even if this is true for most UEFI implementations today. So change this back, and add a __clean_dcache_area_poc() call to cover the remaining code in the subroutine. While at it, switch the other call site over to __clean_dcache_area_poc() as well, and clean up the terminology in comments to avoid using 'flush' in the context of cache maintenance. Also, let's switch to the new style asm annotations.

The following commit: c7225494 ("efi/arm: Work around missing cache maintenance in decompressor handover") modified the EFI handover code written in assembler to work around the missing cache maintenance of the piece of code that is executed after the MMU and caches are turned off. Due to the fact that this sequence incorporates a subroutine call, cleaning that code from the cache is not a matter of simply passing the start and end of the currently running subroutine into cache_clean_flush(), which is why instead, the code jumps across into the cleaned copy of the image. However, this assumes that this copy is executable, and this means we expect EFI_LOADER_DATA regions to be executable as well, which is not a reasonable assumption to make, even if this is true for most UEFI implementations today. So change this back, and add a cache_clean_flush() call to cover the remaining code in the subroutine, and any code it may execute in the context of cache_off().

Pull EFI updates for v5.7 from Ard Biesheuvel: This time, the set of changes for the EFI subsystem is much larger than usual. The main reasons are: - Get things cleaned up before EFI support for RISC-V arrives, which will increase the size of the validation matrix, and therefore the threshold to making drastic changes, - After years of defunct maintainership, the GRUB project has finally started to consider changes from the distros regarding UEFI boot, some of which are highly specific to the way x86 does UEFI secure boot and measured boot, based on knowledge of both shim internals and the layout of bootparams and the x86 setup header. Having this maintenance burden on other architectures (which don't need shim in the first place) is hard to justify, so instead, we are introducing a generic Linux/UEFI boot protocol. Summary of changes: - Boot time GDT handling changes (Arvind) - Simplify handling of EFI properties table on arm64 - Generic EFI stub cleanups, to improve command line handling, file I/O, memory allocation, etc. - Introduce a generic initrd loading method based on calling back into the firmware, instead of relying on the x86 EFI handover protocol or device tree. - Introduce a mixed mode boot method that does not rely on the x86 EFI handover protocol either, and could potentially be adopted by other architectures (if another one ever surfaces where one execution mode is a superset of another) - Clean up the contents of struct efi, and move out everything that doesn't need to be stored there. - Incorporate support for UEFI spec v2.8A changes that permit firmware implementations to return EFI_UNSUPPORTED from UEFI runtime services at OS runtime, and expose a mask of which ones are supported or unsupported via a configuration table. - Various documentation updates and minor code cleanups (Heinrich) - Partial fix for the lack of by-VA cache maintenance in the decompressor on 32-bit ARM. Note that these patches were deliberately put at the beginning so they can be used as a stable branch that will be shared with a PR containing the complete fix, which I will send to the ARM tree.

My time with MIPS the company has reached its end, and so at best I'll have little time spend on maintaining arch/mips/. Ralf last authored a patch over 2 years ago, the last time he committed one is even further back & activity was sporadic for a while before that. The reality is that he isn't active. Having a new maintainer with time to do things properly will be beneficial all round. Thomas Bogendoerfer has been involved in MIPS development for a long time & has offered to step up as maintainer, so add Thomas and remove myself & Ralf from the MIPS entry. Ralf already has an entry in CREDITS to honor his contributions, so this just adds one for me.

Jordy Zomer reported a KASAN out-of-bounds read in the floppy driver in wait_til_ready(). Which on the face of it can't happen, since as Willy Tarreau points out, the function does no particular memory access. Except through the FDCS macro, which just indexes a static allocation through teh current fdc, which is always checked against N_FDC. Except the checking happens after we've already assigned the value. The floppy driver is a disgrace (a lot of it going back to my original horrd "design"), and has no real maintainer. Nobody has the hardware, and nobody really cares. But it still gets used in virtual environment because it's one of those things that everybody supports. The whole thing should be re-written, or at least parts of it should be seriously cleaned up. The 'current fdc' index, which is used by the FDCS macro, and which is often shadowed by a local 'fdc' variable, is a prime example of how not to write code. But because nobody has the hardware or the motivation, let's just fix up the immediate problem with a nasty band-aid: test the fdc index before actually assigning it to the static 'fdc' variable.

The efi_get_fdt_params() routine uses the early OF device tree traversal helpers, that iterate over each node in the DT and invoke a caller provided callback that can inspect the node's contents and look for the required data. This requires a special param struct to be passed around, with pointers into param enumeration structs that contain (and duplicate) property names and offsets into yet another struct that carries the collected data. Since we know the data we look for is either under /hypervisor/uefi or under /chosen, it is much simpler to use the libfdt routines, and just try to grab a reference to either node directly, and read each property in sequence.

Currently, mixed mode is closely tied to the EFI handover protocol and relies on intimate knowledge of the bootparams structure, setup header etc, all of which are rather byzantine and entirely specific to x86. Even though no other EFI supported architectures are currently known that could support something like mixed mode, it still makes sense to abstract a bit from this, and make it part of a generic Linux on EFI boot protocol. To that end, add a .compat section to the mixed mode binary, and populate it with the PE machine type and entry point address, allowing firmware implementations to match it to their native machine type, and invoke non-native binaries using a secondary entry point.

Add support for booting 64-bit x86 kernels from 32-bit firmware running on 64-bit capable CPUs without requiring the bootloader to implement the EFI handover protocol or allocate the setup block, etc etc, all of which can be done by the stub itself, using code that already exists. Instead, create an ordinary EFI application entrypoint but implemented in 32-bit code [so that it can be invoked by 32-bit firmware], and stash the address of this 32-bit entrypoint in the .compat section where the bootloader can find it. Note that we use the setup block embedded in the binary to go through startup_32(), but it gets reallocated and copied in efi_pe_entry(), using the same code that runs when the x86 kernel is booted in EFI mode from native firmware. This requires the loaded image protocol to be installed on the kernel image's EFI handle, and point to the kernel image itself and not to its loader. This, in turn, requires the bootloader to use the LoadImage() boot service to load the 64-bit image from 32-bit firmware, which is in fact supported by firmware based on EDK2. (Only StartImage() will fail, and instead, the newly added entrypoint needs to be invoked) Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

Currently, we either return with an error [from efi_pe_entry()] or enter a deadloop [in efi_main()] if any fatal errors occur during execution of the EFI stub. Let's switch to calling the Exit() EFI boot service instead in both cases, so that we a) can get rid of the deadloop, and simply return to the boot manager if any errors occur during execution of the stub, including during the call to ExitBootServices(), b) can also return cleanly from efi_pe_entry() or efi_main() in mixed mode, once we introduce support for LoadImage/StartImage based mixed mode in the next patch. Note that on systems running downstream GRUBs [which do not use LoadImage or StartImage to boot the kernel, and instead, pass their own image handle as the loaded image handle], calling Exit() will exit from GRUB rather than from the kernel, but this is a tolerable side effect.
