2012-06-06x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clockJan Beulich
Other than ix86, x86-64 on EFI so far didn't set the {g,s}et_wallclock accessors to the EFI routines, thus incorrectly using raw RTC accesses instead. Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions (which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode() ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling efi-get-time in physical mode). Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable() requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()). Also make the two EFI functions in question here static - they're not being referenced elsewhere.

2012-02-23x86, efi: Allow basic init with mixed 32/64-bit efi/kernelOlof Johansson
Traditionally the kernel has refused to setup EFI at all if there's been a mismatch in 32/64-bit mode between EFI and the kernel. On some platforms that boot natively through EFI (Chrome OS being one), we still need to get at least some of the static data such as memory configuration out of EFI. Runtime services aren't as critical, and it's a significant amount of work to implement switching between the operating modes to call between kernel and firmware for thise cases. So I'm ignoring it for now. v5: * Fixed some printk strings based on feedback * Renamed 32/64-bit specific types to not have _ prefix * Fixed bug in printout of efi runtime disablement v4: * Some of the earlier cleanup was accidentally reverted by this patch, fixed. * Reworded some messages to not have to line wrap printk strings v3: * Reorganized to a series of patches to make it easier to review, and do some of the cleanups I had left out before. v2: * Added graceful error handling for 32-bit kernel that gets passed EFI data above 4GB. * Removed some warnings that were missed in first version.

2012-02-23x86, efi: Add basic error handlingOlof Johansson
It's not perfect, but way better than before. Mark efi_enabled as false in case of error and at least stop dereferencing pointers that are known to be invalid. The only significant missing piece is the lack of undoing the memblock_reserve of the memory that efi marks as in use. On the other hand, it's not a large amount of memory, and leaving it unavailable for system use should be the safer choice anyway.

2011-12-09x86, efi: Make efi_call_phys_{prelog,epilog} CONFIG_RELOCATABLE-awareMatt Fleming
efi_call_phys_prelog() sets up a 1:1 mapping of the physical address range in swapper_pg_dir. Instead of replacing then restoring entries in swapper_pg_dir we should be using initial_page_table which already contains the 1:1 mapping. It's safe to blindly switch back to swapper_pg_dir in the epilog because the physical EFI routines are only called before efi_enter_virtual_mode(), e.g. before any user processes have been forked. Therefore, we don't need to track which pgd was in %cr3 when we entered the prelog. The previous code actually contained a bug because it assumed that the kernel was loaded at a physical address within the first 8MB of ram, usually at 0x100000. However, this isn't the case with a CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y kernel which could have been loaded anywhere in the physical address space. Also delete the ancient (and bogus) comments about the page table being restored after the lock is released. There is no locking.

2011-12-09x86, efi: Calling __pa() with an ioremap()ed address is invalidMatt Fleming
If we encounter an efi_memory_desc_t without EFI_MEMORY_WB set in ->attribute we currently call set_memory_uc(), which in turn calls __pa() on a potentially ioremap'd address. On CONFIG_X86_32 this is invalid, resulting in the following oops on some machines: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f7f22280 IP: [<c10257b9>] reserve_ram_pages_type+0x89/0x210 [...] Call Trace: [<c104f8ca>] ? page_is_ram+0x1a/0x40 [<c1025aff>] reserve_memtype+0xdf/0x2f0 [<c1024dc9>] set_memory_uc+0x49/0xa0 [<c19334d0>] efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x1c2/0x3aa [<c19216d4>] start_kernel+0x291/0x2f2 [<c19211c7>] ? loglevel+0x1b/0x1b [<c19210bf>] i386_start_kernel+0xbf/0xc8 A better approach to this problem is to map the memory region with the correct attributes from the start, instead of modifying it after the fact. The uncached case can be handled by ioremap_nocache() and the cached by ioremap_cache(). Despite first impressions, it's not possible to use ioremap_cache() to map all cached memory regions on CONFIG_X86_64 because EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions really don't like being mapped into the vmalloc space, as detailed in the following bug report, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748516 Therefore, we need to ensure that any EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions are covered by the direct kernel mapping table on CONFIG_X86_64. To accomplish this we now map E820_RESERVED_EFI regions via the direct kernel mapping with the initial call to init_memory_mapping() in setup_arch(), whereas previously these regions wouldn't be mapped if they were after the last E820_RAM region until efi_ioremap() was called. Doing it this way allows us to delete efi_ioremap() completely. Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com> Cc: H.

Consumers of the table pointers in struct efi check for EFI_INVALID_TABLE_ADDR to determine validity, hence these pointers should all be pre-initialized to this value (rather than zero). Noticed by the discrepancy between efivars' systab sysfs entry showing all tables (and their pointers) despite the code intending to only display the valid ones.

2011-05-25x86, efi: Retain boot service code until after switching to virtual modeMatthew Garrett
UEFI stands for "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface", where "Firmware" is an ancient African word meaning "Why do something right when you can do it so wrong that children will weep and brave adults will cower before you", and "UEI" is Celtic for "We missed DOS so we burned it into your ROMs". The UEFI specification provides for runtime services (ie, another way for the operating system to be forced to depend on the firmware) and we rely on these for certain trivial tasks such as setting up the bootloader. But some hardware fails to work if we attempt to use these runtime services from physical mode, and so we have to switch into virtual mode. So far so dreadful. The specification makes it clear that the operating system is free to do whatever it wants with boot services code after ExitBootServices() has been called. SetVirtualAddressMap() can't be called until ExitBootServices() has been. So, obviously, a whole bunch of EFI implementations call into boot services code when we do that. Since we've been charmingly naive and trusted that the specification may be somehow relevant to the real world, we've already stuffed a picture of a penguin or something in that address space. And just to make things more entertaining, we've also marked it non-executable. This patch allocates the boot services regions during EFI init and makes sure that they're executable. Then, after SetVirtualAddressMap(), it discards them and everyone lives happily ever after. Except for the ones who have to work on EFI, who live sad lives haunted by the knowledge that someone's eventually going to write yet another firmware specification.

2011-05-09x86, efi: Pass a minimal map to SetVirtualAddressMap()Matthew Garrett
Experimentation with various EFI implementations has shown that functions outside runtime services will still update their pointers if SetVirtualAddressMap() is called with memory descriptors outside the runtime area. This is obviously insane, and therefore is unsurprising. Evidence from instrumenting another EFI implementation suggests that it only passes the set of descriptors covering runtime regions, so let's avoid any problems by doing the same. Runtime descriptors are copied to a separate memory map, and only that map is passed back to the firmware.

2011-05-09x86, efi: Merge contiguous memory regions of the same type and attributeMatthew Garrett
Some firmware implementations assume that physically contiguous regions will be contiguous in virtual address space. This assumption is, obviously, entirely unjustifiable. Said firmware implementations lack the good grace to handle their failings in a measured and reasonable manner, instead tending to shit all over address space and oopsing the kernel. In an ideal universe these firmware implementations would simultaneously catch fire and cease to be a problem, but since some of them are present in attractively thin and shiny metal devices vanity wins out and some poor developer spends an extended period of time surrounded by a growing array of empty bottles until the underlying reason becomes apparent. Said developer presents this patch, which simply merges adjacent regions if they happen to be contiguous and have the same EFI memory type and caching attributes.
