2015-04-01efi/libstub: Retrieve FDT size when loaded from UEFI config tableArd Biesheuvel
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.

2015-03-27firmware: dmi_scan: Prevent dmi_num integer overflowJean Delvare
dmi_num is a u16, dmi_len is a u32, so this construct: dmi_num = dmi_len / 4; would result in an integer overflow for a DMI table larger than 256 kB. I've never see such a large table so far, but SMBIOS 3.0 makes it possible so maybe we'll see such tables in the future. So instead of faking a structure count when the entry point does not provide it, adjust the loop condition in dmi_table() to properly deal with the case where dmi_num is not set.

Support powering down the calling cpu, by trapping into SCM. This termination function triggers the ARM cpu to execute WFI instruction, causing the power controller to safely power the cpu down. Caches may be flushed before powering down the cpu. If cache controller is set to turn off when the cpu is powered down, then the flags argument indicates to the secure mode to flush its cache lines before executing WFI.The warm boot reset address for the cpu should be set before the calling into this function for the cpu to resume. The original code for the qcom_scm_call_atomic1() comes from a patch by Stephen Boyd [1]. The function scm_call_atomic1() has been cherry picked and renamed to match the convention used in this file.

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 ] Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Tested-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

But after adding initial SMBIOS v3 support fc43026278b2 ("dmi: add support for SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point") the 127-0 entry is not handled any more, as result it's not created in dmi sysfs for instance.

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.

2015-02-13x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for memset/memmove/memcpy functionsAndrey Ryabinin
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.

2015-02-13kasan: add kernel address sanitizer infrastructureAndrey Ryabinin
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.

2015-01-20efi/libstub: Call get_memory_map() to obtain map and desc sizesArd Biesheuvel
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.

2015-01-12arm64/efi: move SetVirtualAddressMap() to UEFI stubArd Biesheuvel
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.

2015-01-12efi: Expose underlying UEFI firmware platform size to userlandSteve McIntyre
In some cases (e.g. Intel Bay Trail machines), the kernel will happily run in 64-bit even if the underlying UEFI firmware platform is 32-bit. That's great, but it's difficult for userland utilities like grub-install to do the right thing in such a situation. The kernel already knows about the size of the firmware via efi_enabled(EFI_64BIT). Add an extra sysfs interface /sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size to expose that information to userland for low-level utilities to use.

2014-11-11efi/x86: Move x86 back to libstubArd Biesheuvel
This reverts commit 84be880560fb, which itself reverted my original attempt to move x86 from #include'ing .c files from across the tree to using the EFI stub built as a static library. The issue that affected the original approach was that splitting the implementation into several .o files resulted in the variable 'efi_early' becoming a global with external linkage, which under -fPIC implies that references to it must go through the GOT. However, dealing with this additional GOT entry turned out to be troublesome on some EFI implementations. (GCC's visibility=hidden attribute is supposed to lift this requirement, but it turned out not to work on the 32-bit build.) Instead, use a pure getter function to get a reference to efi_early. This approach results in no additional GOT entries being generated, so there is no need for any changes in the early GOT handling.

2014-11-05dmi: add support for SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry pointArd Biesheuvel
The DMTF SMBIOS reference spec v3.0.0 defines a new 64-bit entry point, which enables support for SMBIOS structure tables residing at a physical offset over 4 GB. This is especially important for upcoming arm64 platforms whose system RAM resides entirely above the 4 GB boundary. For the UEFI case, this code attempts to detect the new SMBIOS 3.0 header magic at the offset passed in the SMBIOS3_TABLE_GUID UEFI configuration table. If this configuration table is not provided, or if we fail to parse the header, we fall back to using the legacy SMBIOS_TABLE_GUID configuration table. This is in line with the spec, that allows both configuration tables to be provided, but mandates that they must point to the same structure table, unless the version pointed to by the 64-bit entry point is a superset of the 32-bit one. For the non-UEFI case, the detection logic is modified to look for the SMBIOS 3.0 header magic before it looks for the legacy header magic. Note that this patch is based on version 3.0.0d [draft] of the specification, which is expected not to deviate from the final version in ways that would affect the correctness of this implementation.
