      block: don't optimize for non-cloned bio in bio_get_last_bvec() · 90d0f0f1
      Ming Lei authored 
      For !BIO_CLONED bio, we can use .bi_vcnt safely, but it
doesn't mean we can just simply return .bi_io_vec[.bi_vcnt - 1]
because the start postion may have been moved in the middle of
the bvec, such as splitting in the middle of bvec.

Fixes: 7bcd79ac(block: bio: introduce helpers to get the 1st and last bvec)

      x86/efi: Fix boot crash by always mapping boot service regions into new EFI page tables · 452308de
      Matt Fleming authored 
      Some machines have EFI regions in page zero (physical address
0x00000000) and historically that region has been added to the e820
map via trim_bios_range(), and ultimately mapped into the kernel page
tables. It was not mapped via efi_map_regions() as one would expect.

Alexis reports that with the new separate EFI page tables some boot
services regions, such as page zero, are not mapped. This triggers an
oops during the SetVirtualAddressMap() runtime call.

For the EFI boot services quirk on x86 we need to memblock_reserve()
boot services regions until after SetVirtualAddressMap(). Doing that
while respecting the ownership of regions that may have already been
reserved by the kernel was the motivation behind this commit:

  7d68dc3f ("x86, efi: Do not reserve boot services regions within reserved areas")

That patch was merged at a time when the EFI runtime virtual mappings
were inserted into the kernel page tables as described above, and the
trick of setting ->numpages (and hence the region size) to zero to
track regions that should not be freed in efi_free_boot_services()
meant that we never mapped those regions in efi_map_regions(). Instead
we were relying solely on the existing kernel mappings.

Now that we have separate page tables we need to make sure the EFI
boot services regions are mapped correctly, even if someone else has
already called memblock_reserve(). Instead of stashing a tag in
->numpages, set the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME bit of ->attribute. Since it
generally makes no sense to mark a boot services region as required at
runtime, it's pretty much guaranteed the firmware will not have
already set this bit.

For the record, the specific circumstances under which Alexis
triggered this bug was that an EFI runtime driver on his machine was
responding to the EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE event during
SetVirtualAddressMap().

The event handler for this driver looks like this,

  sub rsp,0x28
  lea rdx,[rip+0x2445] # 0xaa948720
  mov ecx,0x4
  call func_aa9447c0  ; call to ConvertPointer(4, & 0xaa948720)
  mov r11,QWORD PTR [rip+0x2434] # 0xaa948720
  xor eax,eax
  mov BYTE PTR [r11+0x1],0x1
  add rsp,0x28
  ret

Which is pretty typical code for an EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE
handler. The "mov r11, QWORD PTR [rip+0x2424]" was the faulting
instruction because ConvertPointer() was being called to convert the
address 0x0000000000000000, which when converted is left unchanged and
remains 0x0000000000000000.

The output of the oops trace gave the impression of a standard NULL
pointer dereference bug, but because we're accessing physical
addresses during ConvertPointer(), it wasn't. EFI boot services code
is stored at that address on Alexis' machine.

      x86/fpu: Fix eager-FPU handling on legacy FPU machines · 6e686709
      Borislav Petkov authored 
      i486 derived cores like Intel Quark support only the very old,
legacy x87 FPU (FSAVE/FRSTOR, CPUID bit FXSR is not set), and
our FPU code wasn't handling the saving and restoring there
properly in the 'eagerfpu' case.

So after we made eagerfpu the default for all CPU types:

  58122bf1 x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs

these old FPU designs broke. First, Andy Shevchenko reported a splat:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 823 at arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/internal.h:163 fpu__clear+0x8c/0x160

which was us trying to execute FXRSTOR on those machines even though
they don't support it.

After taking care of that, Bryan O'Donoghue reported that a simple FPU
test still failed because we weren't initializing the FPU state properly
on those machines.

Take care of all that.
