commit decd347c2a75d32984beb8807d470b763a53b542 upstream.

Commit

  8117961d98fb2 ("x86/efi: Disregard setup header of loaded image")

dropped the memcopy of the image's setup header into the boot_params
struct provided to the core kernel, on the basis that EFI boot does not
need it and should rely only on a single protocol to interface with the
boot chain. It is also a prerequisite for being able to increase the
section alignment to 4k, which is needed to enable memory protections
when running in the boot services.

So only the setup_header fields that matter to the core kernel are
populated explicitly, and everything else is ignored. One thing was
overlooked, though: the initrd_addr_max field in the setup_header is not
used by the core kernel, but it is used by the EFI stub itself when it
loads the initrd, where its default value of INT_MAX is used as the soft
limit for memory allocation.

This means that, in the old situation, the initrd was virtually always
loaded in the lower 2G of memory, but now, due to initrd_addr_max being
0x0, the initrd may end up anywhere in memory. This should not be an
issue principle, as most systems can deal with this fine. However, it
does appear to tickle some problems in older UEFI implementations, where
the memory ends up being corrupted, resulting in errors when unpacking
the initramfs.

So set the initrd_addr_max field to INT_MAX like it was before.

<title>efi/libstub: fix efi_random_alloc() to allocate memory at alloc_min or higher address</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5c3f19d134e8db3021827899b5aeb8985a827348</id>

[ Upstream commit 3cb4a4827596abc82e55b80364f509d0fefc3051 ]

Following warning is sometimes observed while booting my servers:
  [    3.594838] DMA: preallocated 4096 KiB GFP_KERNEL pool for atomic allocations
  [    3.602918] swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1
  ...
  [    3.851862] DMA: preallocated 1024 KiB GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA pool for atomic allocation

If 'nokaslr' boot option is set, the warning always happens.

On x86, ZONE_DMA is small zone at the first 16MB of physical address
space. When this problem happens, most of that space seems to be used by
decompressed kernel. Thereby, there is not enough space at DMA_ZONE to
meet the request of DMA pool allocation.

The commit 2f77465b05b1 ("x86/efistub: Avoid placing the kernel below
LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR") tried to fix this problem by introducing lower
bound of allocation.

But the fix is not complete.

efi_random_alloc() allocates pages by following steps.
1. Count total available slots ('total_slots')
2. Select a slot ('target_slot') to allocate randomly
3. Calculate a starting address ('target') to be included target_slot
4. Allocate pages, which starting address is 'target'

In step 1, 'alloc_min' is used to offset the starting address of memory
chunk. But in step 3 'alloc_min' is not considered at all.  As the
result, 'target' can be miscalculated and become lower than 'alloc_min'.

When KASLR is disabled, 'target_slot' is always 0 and the problem
happens everytime if the EFI memory map of the system meets the
condition.

Fix this problem by calculating 'target' considering 'alloc_min'.

<title>x86/efistub: Don't clear BSS twice in mixed mode</title>

[ Upstream commit df7ecce842b846a04d087ba85fdb79a90e26a1b0 ]

Clearing BSS should only be done once, at the very beginning.
efi_pe_entry() is the entrypoint from the firmware, which may not clear
BSS and so it is done explicitly. However, efi_pe_entry() is also used
as an entrypoint by the mixed mode startup code, in which case BSS will
already have been cleared, and doing it again at this point will corrupt
global variables holding the firmware's GDT/IDT and segment selectors.

So make the memset() conditional on whether the EFI stub is running in
native mode.

<id>urn:sha1:0f0c8fc5ec197207f4d8ca9e04fb29a00067c34c</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b3810c5a2cc4a6665f7a65bed5393c75ce3f3aa2 ]

The EFI stub on x86 no longer invokes the decompressor as a subsequent
boot stage, but calls into the decompression code directly while running
in the context of the EFI boot services.

This means that when using the native EFI entrypoint (as opposed to the
EFI handover protocol, which clears BSS explicitly), the firmware PE
image loader is being relied upon to ensure that BSS is zeroed before
the EFI stub is entered from the firmware.

As Radek's report proves, this is a bad idea. Not all loaders do this
correctly, which means some global variables that should be statically
initialized to 0x0 may have junk in them.

So clear BSS explicitly when entering via efi_pe_entry(). Note that
zeroing BSS from C code is not generally safe, but in this case, the
following assignment and dereference of a global pointer variable
ensures that the memset() cannot be deferred or reordered.

[ Upstream commit f1d71576d2c9ec8fdb822173fa7f3de79475e9bd ]

When the generic SCMI code tears down a channel, it calls the chan_free
callback function, defined by each transport. Since multiple protocols
might share the same transport_info member, chan_free() might want to
clean up the same member multiple times within the given SCMI transport
implementation. In this case, it is SMC transport. This will lead to a NULL
pointer dereference at the second time:

Simply check for the struct pointer being NULL before trying to access
its members, to avoid this situation.

This was found when a transport doesn't really work (for instance no SMC
service), the probe routines then tries to clean up, and triggers a crash.
