When allocating memory for the copy of the FDT that the stub
modifies and passes to the kernel, it uses the current size as
an estimate of how much memory to allocate, and increases it page
by page if it turns out to be too small. However, when loading
the FDT from a UEFI configuration table, the estimated size is
left at its default value of zero, and the allocation loop runs
starting from zero all the way up to the allocation size that
finally fits the updated FDT.
Instead, retrieve the size of the FDT from the FDT header when
loading it from the UEFI config table.

While adding support loading kernel and initrd above 4G to grub2 in legacy
mode, I was referring to efi_high_alloc().
That will allocate buffer for kernel and then initrd, and initrd will
use kernel buffer start as limit.
During testing found two buffers will be overlapped when initrd size is
very big like 400M.
It turns out efi_high_alloc() boundary checking is not right.
end - size will be the new start, and should not compare new
start with max, we need to make sure end is smaller than max.
[ Basically, with the current efi_high_alloc() code it's possible to
allocate memory above 'max', because efi_high_alloc() doesn't check
that the tail of the allocation is below 'max'.
If you have an EFI memory map with a single entry that looks like so,
[0xc0000000-0xc0004000]
And want to allocate 0x3000 bytes below 0xc0003000 the current code
will allocate [0xc0001000-0xc0004000], not [0xc0000000-0xc0003000]
like you would expect. - Matt ]

This reverts commit d1a8d66b9177105e898e73716f97eb61842c457a.
Ard reported a boot failure when running UEFI under Qemu and Xen and
experimenting with various Tianocore build options,
"As it turns out, when allocating room for the UEFI memory map using
UEFI's AllocatePool (), it may result in two new memory map entries
being created, for instance, when using Tianocore's preallocated region
feature. For example, the following region
0x00005ead5000-0x00005ebfffff [Conventional Memory| | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]
may be split like this
0x00005ead5000-0x00005eae2fff [Conventional Memory| | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]
0x00005eae3000-0x00005eae4fff [Loader Data | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]
0x00005eae5000-0x00005ebfffff [Conventional Memory| | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]
if the preallocated Loader Data region was chosen to be right in the
middle of the original free space.
After patch d1a8d66b9177 ("efi/libstub: Call get_memory_map() to
obtain map and desc sizes"), this is not being dealt with correctly
anymore, as the existing logic to allocate room for a single additional
entry has become insufficient."
Mark requested to reinstate the old loop we had before commit
d1a8d66b9177, which grows the memory map buffer until it's big enough to
hold the EFI memory map.

Recently instrumentation of builtin functions calls was removed from GCC
5.0. To check the memory accessed by such functions, userspace asan
always uses interceptors for them.
So now we should do this as well. This patch declares
memset/memmove/memcpy as weak symbols. In mm/kasan/kasan.c we have our
own implementation of those functions which checks memory before accessing
it.
Default memset/memmove/memcpy now now always have aliases with '__'
prefix. For files that built without kasan instrumentation (e.g.
mm/slub.c) original mem* replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants,
cause we don't want to check memory accesses there.

Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan) is a dynamic memory error detector. It
provides fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and
out-of-bounds bugs.
KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access,
therefore GCC > v4.9.2 required. v4.9.2 almost works, but has issues with
putting symbol aliases into the wrong section, which breaks kasan
instrumentation of globals.
This patch only adds infrastructure for kernel address sanitizer. It's
not available for use yet. The idea and some code was borrowed from [1].
Basic idea:
The main idea of KASAN is to use shadow memory to record whether each byte
of memory is safe to access or not, and use compiler's instrumentation to
check the shadow memory on each memory access.
Address sanitizer uses 1/8 of the memory addressable in kernel for shadow
memory and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to translate a
memory address to its corresponding shadow address.
Here is function to translate address to corresponding shadow address:
unsigned long kasan_mem_to_shadow(unsigned long addr)
{
return (addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
}
where KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3.
So for every 8 bytes there is one corresponding byte of shadow memory.
The following encoding used for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes
of the corresponding memory region are valid for access; k (1 <= k <= 7)
means that the first k bytes are valid for access, and other (8 - k) bytes
are not; Any negative value indicates that the entire 8-bytes are
inaccessible. Different negative values used to distinguish between
different kinds of inaccessible memory (redzones, freed memory) (see
mm/kasan/kasan.h).
To be able to detect accesses to bad memory we need a special compiler.
Such compiler inserts a specific function calls (__asan_load*(addr),
__asan_store*(addr)) before each memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16.
These functions check whether memory region is valid to access or not by
checking corresponding shadow memory. If access is not valid an error
printed.
Historical background of the address sanitizer from Dmitry Vyukov:
"We've developed the set of tools, AddressSanitizer (Asan),
ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer, for user space. We actively use
them for testing inside of Google (continuous testing, fuzzing,
running prod services). To date the tools have found more than 10'000
scary bugs in Chromium, Google internal codebase and various
open-source projects (Firefox, OpenSSL, gcc, clang, ffmpeg, MySQL and
lots of others): [2] [3] [4].
The tools are part of both gcc and clang compilers.
We have not yet done massive testing under the Kernel AddressSanitizer
(it's kind of chicken and egg problem, you need it to be upstream to
start applying it extensively). To date it has found about 50 bugs.
Bugs that we've found in upstream kernel are listed in [5].
We've also found ~20 bugs in out internal version of the kernel. Also
people from Samsung and Oracle have found some.
[...]
As others noted, the main feature of AddressSanitizer is its
performance due to inline compiler instrumentation and simple linear
shadow memory. User-space Asan has ~2x slowdown on computational
programs and ~2x memory consumption increase. Taking into account that
kernel usually consumes only small fraction of CPU and memory when
running real user-space programs, I would expect that kernel Asan will
have ~10-30% slowdown and similar memory consumption increase (when we
finish all tuning).
I agree that Asan can well replace kmemcheck. We have plans to start
working on Kernel MemorySanitizer that finds uses of unitialized
memory. Asan+Msan will provide feature-parity with kmemcheck. As
others noted, Asan will unlikely replace debug slab and pagealloc that
can be enabled at runtime. Asan uses compiler instrumentation, so even
if it is disabled, it still incurs visible overheads.
Asan technology is easily portable to other architectures. Compiler
instrumentation is fully portable. Runtime has some arch-dependent
parts like shadow mapping and atomic operation interception. They are
relatively easy to port."
Comparison with other debugging features:
========================================
KMEMCHECK:
- KASan can do almost everything that kmemcheck can. KASan uses
compile-time instrumentation, which makes it significantly faster than
kmemcheck. The only advantage of kmemcheck over KASan is detection of
uninitialized memory reads.
Some brief performance testing showed that kasan could be
x500-x600 times faster than kmemcheck:
$ netperf -l 30
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 0 AF_INET
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
no debug: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 41624.72
kasan inline: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 12870.54
kasan outline: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 10586.39
kmemcheck: 87380 16384 16384 30.03 20.23
- Also kmemcheck couldn't work on several CPUs. It always sets
number of CPUs to 1. KASan doesn't have such limitation.
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:
- KASan is slower than DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but KASan works on sub-page
granularity level, so it able to find more bugs.
SLUB_DEBUG (poisoning, redzones):
- SLUB_DEBUG has lower overhead than KASan.
- SLUB_DEBUG in most cases are not able to detect bad reads,
KASan able to detect both reads and writes.
- In some cases (e.g. redzone overwritten) SLUB_DEBUG detect
bugs only on allocation/freeing of object. KASan catch
bugs right before it will happen, so we always know exact
place of first bad read/write.

This fixes two minor issues in the implementation of get_memory_map():
- Currently, it assumes that sizeof(efi_memory_desc_t) == desc_size,
which is usually true, but not mandated by the spec. (This was added
intentionally to allow future additions to the definition of
efi_memory_desc_t). The way the loop is implemented currently, the
added slack space may be insufficient if desc_size is larger, which in
some corner cases could result in the loop never terminating.
- It allocates 32 efi_memory_desc_t entries first (again, using the size
of the struct instead of desc_size), and frees and reallocates if it
turns out to be insufficient. Few implementations of UEFI have such small
memory maps, which results in a unnecessary allocate/free pair on each
invocation.
Fix this by calling the get_memory_map() boot service first with a '0'
input value for map size to retrieve the map size and desc size from the
firmware and only then perform the allocation, using desc_size rather
than sizeof(efi_memory_desc_t).

This ensures all stub component are freed when the kernel proper is
done booting, by prefixing the names of all ELF sections that have
the SHF_ALLOC attribute with ".init". This approach ensures that even
implicitly emitted allocated data (like initializer values and string
literals) are covered.
At the same time, remove some __init annotations in the stub that have
now become redundant, and add the __init annotation to handle_kernel_image
which will now trigger a section mismatch warning without it.

In order to support kexec, the kernel needs to be able to deal with the
state of the UEFI firmware after SetVirtualAddressMap() has been called.
To avoid having separate code paths for non-kexec and kexec, let's move
the call to SetVirtualAddressMap() to the stub: this will guarantee us
that it will only be called once (since the stub is not executed during
kexec), and ensures that the UEFI state is identical between kexec and
normal boot.
This implies that the layout of the virtual mapping needs to be created
by the stub as well. All regions are rounded up to a naturally aligned
multiple of 64 KB (for compatibility with 64k pages kernels) and recorded
in the UEFI memory map. The kernel proper reads those values and installs
the mappings in a dedicated set of page tables that are swapped in during
UEFI Runtime Services calls.

On systems with 64 KB pages, it is preferable for UEFI memory map
entries to be 64 KB aligned multiples of 64 KB, because it relieves
us of having to deal with the residues.
So, if EFI_ALLOC_ALIGN is #define'd by the platform, use it to round
up all memory allocations made.

In the absence of a DTB configuration table, the EFI stub will happily
continue attempting to boot a kernel, despite the fact that this kernel
may not function without a description of the hardware. In this case, as
with a typo'd "dtb=" option (e.g. "dbt=") or many other possible
failures, the only output seen by the user will be the rather terse
output from the EFI stub:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
To aid those attempting to debug such failures, this patch adds a notice
when no DTB is found, making the output more helpful:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Generating empty DTB
Additionally, a positive acknowledgement is added when a user-specified
DTB is in use:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...

We need a way to customize the behaviour of the EFI boot stub, in
particular, we need a way to disable the "chunking" workaround, used
when reading files from the EFI System Partition.
One of my machines doesn't cope well when reading files in 1MB chunks to
a buffer above the 4GB mark - it appears that the "chunking" bug
workaround triggers another firmware bug. This was only discovered with
commit 4bf7111f5016 ("x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G"), and
that commit is perfectly valid. The symptom I observed was a corrupt
initrd rather than any kind of crash.
efi= is now used to specify EFI parameters in two very different
execution environments, the EFI boot stub and during kernel boot.
There is also a slight performance optimization by enabling efi=nochunk,
but that's offset by the fact that you're more likely to run into
firmware issues, at least on x86. This is the rationale behind leaving
the workaround enabled by default.
Also provide some documentation for EFI_READ_CHUNK_SIZE and why we're
using the current value of 1MB.

Commit 86c8b27a01cf:
"arm64: ignore DT memreserve entries when booting in UEFI mode
prevents early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() from being called for
arm64 kernels booting via UEFI. This was done because the kernel
will use the UEFI memory map to determine reserved memory regions.
That approach has problems in that early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem()
also reserves the FDT itself and any node-specific reserved memory.
By chance of some kernel configs, the FDT may be overwritten before
it can be unflattened and the kernel will fail to boot. More subtle
problems will result if the FDT has node specific reserved memory
which is not really reserved.
This patch has the UEFI stub remove the memory reserve map entries
from the FDT as it does with the memory nodes. This allows
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() to be called unconditionally
so that the other needed reservations are made.

This patch changes both x86 and arm64 efistub implementations
from #including shared .c files under drivers/firmware/efi to
building shared code as a static library.
The x86 code uses a stub built into the boot executable which
uncompresses the kernel at boot time. In this case, the library is
linked into the decompressor.
In the arm64 case, the stub is part of the kernel proper so the library
is linked into the kernel proper as well.
