Otherwise e.g. Xen dom0 on x86_64 EFI platforms crashes.
In theory we can check EFI_PARAVIRT too, however,
EFI_MEMMAP looks more targeted and covers more cases.

Currently there are trace events for the various RAS
errors with the exception of ARM processor type errors.
Add a new trace event for such errors so that the user
will know when they occur. These trace events are
consistent with the ARM processor error section type
defined in UEFI 2.6 spec section N.2.4.4.

UEFI spec allows for non-standard section in Common Platform Error
Record. This is defined in section N.2.3 of UEFI version 2.5.
Currently if the CPER section's type (UUID) does not match with
one of the section types that the kernel knows how to parse, the
section is skipped. Therefore, user is not able to see
such CPER data, for instance, error record of non-standard section.
This change prints out the raw data in hex in the dmesg buffer so
that non-standard sections are reported to the user. Non-standard
section type errors should be reported to the user because these
can include errors which are vendor specific. The data length is
taken from Error Data length field of Generic Error Data Entry.
The following is a sample output from dmesg:

There is also a similar bug filed in bugzilla.kernel.org:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195633
The crash is caused by this commit:
7b0a911478c7 efi/x86: Move the EFI BGRT init code to early init code
The root cause is the firmware on those machines provides invalid BGRT
image addresses.
In a kernel before above commit BGRT initializes late and uses ioremap()
to map the image address. Ioremap validates the address, if it is not a
valid physical address ioremap() just fails and returns. However in current
kernel EFI BGRT initializes early and uses early_memremap() which does not
validate the image address, and kernel panic happens.
According to ACPI spec the BGRT image address should fall into
EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA, see the section 5.2.22.4 of below document:
http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6_1.pdf
Fix this issue by validating the image address in efi_bgrt_init(). If the
image address does not fall into any EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA areas we just
bail out with a warning message.

Wire up the existing arm64 support for SMBIOS tables (aka DMI) for ARM as
well, by moving the arm64 init code to drivers/firmware/efi/arm-runtime.c
(which is shared between ARM and arm64), and adding a asm/dmi.h header to
ARM that defines the mapping routines for the firmware tables.
This allows userspace to access these tables to discover system information
exposed by the firmware. It also sets the hardware name used in crash
dumps, e.g.:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
pgd = ed3c0000
[00000000] *pgd=bf1f3835
Internal error: Oops: 817 [#1] SMP THUMB2
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 759 Comm: bash Not tainted 4.10.0-09601-g0e8f38792120-dirty #112
Hardware name: QEMU KVM Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015
^^^
NOTE: This does *NOT* enable or encourage the use of DMI quirks, i.e., the
the practice of identifying the platform via DMI to decide whether
certain workarounds for buggy hardware and/or firmware need to be
enabled. This would require the DMI subsystem to be enabled much
earlier than we do on ARM, which is non-trivial.

The firmware for Quark X102x prepends a security header to the capsule
which is needed to support the mandatory secure boot on this processor.
The header can be detected by checking for the "_CSH" signature and -
to avoid any GUID conflict - validating its size field to contain the
expected value. Then we need to look for the EFI header right after the
security header and pass the real header to __efi_capsule_setup_info.
To be minimal invasive and maximal safe, the quirk version of
efi_capsule_setup_info() is only effective on Quark processors.

To give some leeway to code that handles non-standard capsule headers,
let's keep an array of page addresses rather than struct page pointers.
This gives special implementations of efi_capsule_setup_info() the
opportunity to mangle the payload a bit before it is presented to the
firmware, without putting any knowledge of the nature of such quirks
into the generic code.

a backend pstore_write() was only retained by the internal pstore
inode tracking list. Additionally the "part" was ignored, so EFI
would encode this in the id. This corrects the misunderstandings
and correctly sets "id" during pstore_write(), and uses "part"
directly during pstore_erase().

As reported by James, Catalin and Mark, commit:
e69176d68d26 ("ef/libstub/arm/arm64: Randomize the base of the UEFI rt services region")
... results in a crash in the firmware, regardless of whether KASLR
is in effect or not and whether the firmware implements EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL
or not.
Mark has identified the root cause to be the inappropriate use of
TASK_SIZE in the stub, which arm64 defines as:
#define TASK_SIZE (test_thread_flag(TIF_32BIT) ? \
TASK_SIZE_32 : TASK_SIZE_64)
and testing thread flags at this point results in the dereference of
pointers in uninitialized structures.
So instead, introduce a preprocessor symbol EFI_RT_VIRTUAL_LIMIT and
define it to TASK_SIZE_64 on arm64 and TASK_SIZE on ARM, both of which
are compile time constants. Also, change the 'headroom' variable to
static const to force an error if this might change in the future.

In cases where a device tree is not provided (ie ACPI based system), an
empty fdt is generated by efistub. #address-cells and #size-cells are not
set in the empty fdt, so they default to 1 (4 byte wide). This can be an
issue on 64-bit systems where values representing addresses, etc may be
8 bytes wide as the default value does not align with the general
requirements for an empty DTB, and is fragile when passed to other agents
as extra care is required to read the entire width of a value.
This issue is observed on Qualcomm Technologies QDF24XX platforms when
kexec-tools inserts 64-bit addresses into the "linux,elfcorehdr" and
"linux,usable-memory-range" properties of the fdt. When the values are
later consumed, they are truncated to 32-bit.
Setting #address-cells and #size-cells to 2 at creation of the empty fdt
resolves the observed issue, and makes the fdt less fragile.

Update the allocation logic for the virtual mapping of the UEFI runtime
services to start from a randomized base address if KASLR is in effect,
and if the UEFI firmware exposes an implementation of EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL.
This makes it more difficult to predict the location of exploitable
data structures in the runtime UEFI firmware, which increases robustness
against attacks. Note that these regions are only mapped during the
time a runtime service call is in progress, and only on a single CPU
at a time, bit given the lack of a downside, let's enable it nonetheless.

The EFI stub currently prints a number of diagnostic messages that do
not carry a lot of information. Since these prints are not controlled
by 'loglevel' or other command line parameters, and since they appear on
the EFI framebuffer as well (if enabled), it would be nice if we could
turn them off.
So let's add support for the 'quiet' command line parameter in the stub,
and disable the non-error prints if it is passed.

The arm32 kernel decompresses itself to the base of DRAM unconditionally,
and so it is the EFI stub's job to ensure that the region is available.
Currently, we do this by creating an allocation there, and giving up if
that fails. However, any boot services regions occupying this area are
not an issue, given that the decompressor executes strictly after the
stub calls ExitBootServices().
So let's try a bit harder to proceed if the initial allocation fails,
and check whether any memory map entries occupying the region may be
considered safe.

The FDT is mapped via a fixmap entry that is at least 2 MB in size and
2 MB aligned on 4 KB page size kernels.
On UEFI systems, the FDT allocation may share this 2 MB mapping with a
reserved region (or another memory region that we should never map),
unless we account for this in the size of the allocation (the alignment
is already 2 MB)
So instead of taking guesses at the needed space, simply allocate 2 MB
immediately. The allocation will be recorded as EFI_LOADER_DATA, and the
kernel only memblock_reserve()'s the actual size of the FDT, so the
unused space will be released back to the kernel.

On arm64, we have made some changes over the past year to the way the
kernel itself is allocated and to how it deals with the initrd and FDT.
This patch brings the allocation logic in the EFI stub in line with that,
which is necessary because the introduction of KASLR has created the
possibility for the initrd to be allocated in a place where the kernel
may not be able to map it. (This is mostly a theoretical scenario, since
it only affects systems where the physical memory footprint exceeds the
size of the linear mapping.)
Since we know the kernel itself will be covered by the linear mapping,
choose a suitably sized window (i.e., based on the size of the linear
region) covering the kernel when allocating memory for the initrd.
The FDT may be anywhere in memory on arm64 now that we map it via the
fixmap, so we can lift the address restriction there completely.

The UEFI Specification permits Graphics Output Protocol (GOP) instances
without direct framebuffer access. This is indicated in the Mode structure
with a PixelFormat enumeration value of PIXEL_BLT_ONLY. Given that the
kernel does not know how to drive a Blt() only framebuffer (which is only
permitted before ExitBootServices() anyway), we should disregard such
framebuffers when looking for a GOP instance that is suitable for use as
the boot console.
So modify the EFI GOP initialization to not use a PIXEL_BLT_ONLY instance,
preventing attempts later in boot to use an invalid screen_info.lfb_base
address.

The Intel Compute Stick STCK1A8LFC and Weibu F3C platforms both
log 2 error messages during boot:
efi: requested map not found.
esrt: ESRT header is not in the memory map.
Searching the web, this seems to affect many other platforms too.
Since these messages are logged as errors, they appear on-screen during
the boot process even when using the "quiet" boot parameter used by
distros.
Demote the ESRT error to a warning so that it does not appear on-screen,
and delete the error logging from efi_mem_desc_lookup; both callsites
of that function log more specific messages upon failure.
Out of curiosity I looked closer at the Weibu F3C. There is no entry in
the UEFI-provided memory map which corresponds to the ESRT pointer, but
hacking the code to map it anyway, the ESRT does appear to be valid with
2 entries.

On ARM and arm64, we use a dedicated mm_struct to map the UEFI
Runtime Services regions, which allows us to map those regions
on demand, and in a way that is guaranteed to be compatible

As it turns out, we don't fully initialize the mm_struct in the
same way as process mm_structs are initialized on fork(), which
results in the following crash on ARM if CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y

The ARM decompressor is finicky when it comes to uninitialized variables
with local linkage, the reason being that it may relocate .text and .bss
independently when executing from ROM. This is only possible if all
references into .bss from .text are absolute, and this happens to be the
case for references emitted under -fpic to symbols with external linkage,
and so all .bss references must involve symbols with external linkage.
When building the ARM stub using clang, the initialized local variable
__chunk_size is optimized into a zero-initialized flag that indicates
whether chunking is in effect or not. This flag is therefore emitted into
.bss, which triggers the ARM decompressor's diagnostics, resulting in a
failed build.
Under UEFI, we never execute the decompressor from ROM, so the diagnostic
makes little sense here. But we can easily work around the issue by making
__chunk_size global instead.
However, given that the file I/O chunking that is controlled by the
__chunk_size variable is intended to work around known bugs on various
x86 implementations of UEFI, we can simply make the chunking an x86
specific feature. This is an improvement by itself, and also removes the
need to parse the efi= options in the stub entirely.
