commit d80ca810f096ff66f451e7a3ed2f0cd9ef1ff519 upstream.

Currently, the non-x86 stub code calls get_memory_map() redundantly,
given that the data it returns is never used anywhere. So drop the call.

<content type='text'>
commit 5f56a74cc0a6d9b9f8ba89cea29cd7c4774cb2b1 upstream.

We currently check the MokSBState variable to decide whether we should
treat UEFI secure boot as being disabled, even if the firmware thinks
otherwise. This is used by shim to indicate that it is not checking
signatures on boot images. In the kernel, we use this to relax lockdown
policies.

However, in cases where shim is not even being used, we don't want this
variable to interfere with lockdown, given that the variable may be
non-volatile and therefore persist across a reboot. This means setting
it once will persistently disable lockdown checks on a given system.

So switch to the mirrored version of this variable, called MokSBStateRT,
which is supposed to be volatile, and this is something we can check.

<id>urn:sha1:96dc4e2c52830a6437748e0cf6c25c8951a1940c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 63bf28ceb3ebbe76048c3fb2987996ca1ae64f83 upstream.

When booting the x86 kernel via EFI using the LoadImage/StartImage boot
services [as opposed to the deprecated EFI handover protocol], the setup
header is taken from the image directly, and given that EFI's LoadImage
has no Linux/x86 specific knowledge regarding struct bootparams or
struct setup_header, any absolute addresses in the setup header must
originate from the file and not from a prior loading stage.

Since we cannot generally predict where LoadImage() decides to load an
image (*), such absolute addresses must be treated as suspect: even if a
prior boot stage intended to make them point somewhere inside the
[signed] image, there is no way to validate that, and if they point at
an arbitrary location in memory, the setup_data nodes will not be
covered by any signatures or TPM measurements either, and could be made
to contain an arbitrary sequence of SETUP_xxx nodes, which could
interfere quite badly with the early x86 boot sequence.

(*) Note that, while LoadImage() does take a buffer/size tuple in
addition to a device path, which can be used to provide the image
contents directly, it will re-allocate such images, as the memory
footprint of an image is generally larger than the PE/COFF file
representation.

commit 9cb636b5f6a8cc6d1b50809ec8f8d33ae0c84c95 upstream.

A race condition may occur if the user calls close() on another thread
during a write() operation on the device node of the efi capsule.

This is a race condition that occurs between the efi_capsule_write() and
efi_capsule_flush() functions of efi_capsule_fops, which ultimately
results in UAF.

So, the page freeing process is modified to be done in
efi_capsule_release() instead of efi_capsule_flush().

<title>efi: libstub: Disable struct randomization</title>

commit 1a3887924a7e6edd331be76da7bf4c1e8eab4b1e upstream.

The EFI stub is a wrapper around the core kernel that makes it look like
a EFI compatible PE/COFF application to the EFI firmware. EFI
applications run on top of the EFI runtime, which is heavily based on
so-called protocols, which are struct types consisting [mostly] of
function pointer members that are instantiated and recorded in a
protocol database.

These structs look like the ideal randomization candidates to the
randstruct plugin (as they only carry function pointers), but of course,
these protocols are contracts between the firmware that exposes them,
and the EFI applications (including our stubbed kernel) that invoke
them. This means that struct randomization for EFI protocols is not a
great idea, and given that the stub shares very little data with the
core kernel that is represented as a randomizable struct, we're better
off just disabling it completely here.

Commit 98f30d0ecf79 ("ACPI: power: Switch to sys-off handler API")
switched the ACPI sleep code from directly setting the old global
pm_power_off handler to using the new register_sys_off_handler()
mechanism with a priority of SYS_OFF_PRIO_FIRMWARE.

This is a problem when the old global pm_power_off handler would later
be overwritten, such as done by the late_initcall(efi_shutdown_init):

	if (efi_poweroff_required())
		pm_power_off = efi_power_off;

The old global pm_power_off handler gets run with a priority of
SYS_OFF_PRIO_DEFAULT which is lower then SYS_OFF_PRIO_FIRMWARE, causing
acpi_power_off() to run first, changing the behavior from before
the ACPI sleep code switched to the new register_sys_off_handler().

Switch the registering of efi_power_off over to register_sys_off_handler()
with a priority of SYS_OFF_PRIO_FIRMWARE + 1 so that it will run before
acpi_power_off() as before.

Note since the new sys-off-handler code will try all handlers in
priority order, there is no more need for the EFI code to store and
call the original pm_power_off handler.

Nothing defined in the header is used by drivers/firmware/efi/sysfb_efi.c
but also, including it can lead to build errors when built on arches that
don't have an asm/efi.h header file.

This can happen for example if a driver that is built when COMPILE_TEST is
enabled selects the SYSFB symbol, e.g. on powerpc with allyesconfig:

drivers/firmware/efi/sysfb_efi.c:29:10: fatal error: asm/efi.h: No such file or directory
   29 | #include &lt;asm/efi.h&gt;

Geert reports that the new option CONFIG_EFI_DISABLE_RUNTIME is user
visible even when EFI support is disabled, which is unnecessary and
clutters the Kconfig interface.

So let's move this option into the existing Kconfig submenu that already
depends on CONFIG_EFI, and while at it, give some other options the same
treatment.

Also clean up a small wart where the efi/ subdirectory is listed twice.
Let's just list it unconditionally so that both EFI and UEFI_CPER based
pieces will be built independently (the latter only depends on the
former on !X86)
