commit 540f4c0e894f7e46a66dfa424b16424cbdc12c38 upstream.

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.

[ Upstream commit 82bcd087029f6056506ea929f11af02622230901 ]

This patch adds a Qualcomm specific quirk to the arm_smccc_smc call.

On Qualcomm ARM64 platforms, the SMC call can return before it has
completed.  If this occurs, the call can be restarted, but it requires
using the returned session ID value from the interrupted SMC call.

The quirk stores off the session ID from the interrupted call in the
quirk structure so that it can be used by the caller.

This patch folds in a fix given by Sricharan R:

<content type='text'>
commit d1eb98143c56f24fef125f5bbed49ae0b52fb7d6 upstream.

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
with incoming kernels across kexec.

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
is enabled:

  ...
  EFI Variables Facility v0.08 2004-May-17
  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
  [...]
  Process swapper/0 (pid: 1)
  ...
  __memzero()
  check_and_switch_context()
  virt_efi_get_next_variable()
  efivar_init()
  efivars_sysfs_init()
  do_one_initcall()
  ...

This is due to a missing call to mm_init_cpumask(), so add it.

<id>urn:sha1:c8f325a59cfc718d13a50fbc746ed9b415c25e92</id>
<content type='text'>
Some AArch64 UEFI implementations disable the MMU in ExitBootServices(),
after which unaligned accesses to RAM are no longer supported.

Commit:

  abfb7b686a3e ("efi/libstub/arm*: Pass latest memory map to the kernel")

fixed an issue in the memory map handling of the stub FDT code, but
inadvertently created an issue with such firmware, by moving some
of the FDT manipulation to after the invocation of ExitBootServices().

Given that the stub's libfdt implementation uses the ordinary, accelerated
string functions, which rely on hardware handling of unaligned accesses,
manipulating the FDT with the MMU off may result in alignment faults.

So fix the situation by moving the update_fdt_memmap() call into the
callback function invoked by efi_exit_boot_services() right before it
calls the ExitBootServices() UEFI service (which is arguably a better
place for it anyway)

Note that disabling the MMU in ExitBootServices() is not compliant with
the UEFI spec, and carries great risk due to the fact that switching from
cached to uncached memory accesses halfway through compiler generated code
(i.e., involving a stack) can never be done in a way that is architecturally
safe.

 "A number of regression fixes:

   - Fix a boot hang on machines that have somewhat unusual memory map
     entries of phys_addr=0x0 num_pages=0, which broke due to a recent
     commit. This commit got cherry-picked from the v4.11 queue because
     the bug is affecting real machines.

   - Fix a boot hang also reported by KASAN, caused by incorrect init
     ordering introduced by a recent optimization.

   - Fix a recent robustification fix to allocate_new_fdt_and_exit_boot()
     that introduced an invalid assumption. Neither bugs were seen in
     the wild AFAIK"

With the following commit:

  4bc9f92e64c8 ("x86/efi-bgrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() to avoid copying image data")

...  efi_bgrt_init() calls into the memblock allocator through
efi_mem_reserve() =&gt; efi_arch_mem_reserve() *after* mm_init() has been called.

Indeed, KASAN reports a bad read access later on in efi_free_boot_services():

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in efi_free_boot_services+0xae/0x24c
            at addr ffff88022de12740

  page:ffffea0008b78480 count:0 mapcount:-127

   x86_64_start_kernel+0x157/0x17a
   start_cpu+0x5/0x14

The instruction at the given address is the first read from the memmap's
memory, i.e. the read of md-&gt;type in efi_free_boot_services().

Note that the writes earlier in efi_arch_mem_reserve() don't splat because
they're done through early_memremap()ed addresses.

So, after memblock is gone, allocations should be done through the "normal"
page allocator. Introduce a helper, efi_memmap_alloc() for this. Use
it from efi_arch_mem_reserve(), efi_free_boot_services() and, for the sake
of consistency, from efi_fake_memmap() as well.

Note that for the latter, the memmap allocations cease to be page aligned.
This isn't needed though.

<id>urn:sha1:a766347b15c01507db9bf01f9b7021be5a776691</id>
<content type='text'>
The pre-1.0 SCPI firmwares are using single __le32 as sensor value,
while the SCPI v1.0 protocol uses two __le32 as sensor values(64bit)
split into 32bit upper and 32bit lower value.

Using an "struct sensor_value" to read the sensor value on a pre-1.0
SCPI firmware gives garbage in the "hi_val" field.

This patch fixes the issue by reading only the lower 32-bit value for
all pre-1.0 SCPI versions.

<content type='text'>
As reported by James Morse, the current libstub code involving the
annotated memory map only works somewhat correctly by accident, due
to the fact that a pool allocation happens to be reused immediately,
retaining its former contents on most implementations of the
UEFI boot services.

Instead of juggling memory maps, which makes the code more complex than
it needs to be, simply put placeholder values into the FDT for the memory
map parameters, and only write the actual values after ExitBootServices()
has been called.
