efi: fix panic in kdump kernel

2024-03-24T08:28:33Z

Check if get_next_variable() is actually valid pointer before calling it. In kdump kernel this method is set to NULL that causes panic during the kexec-ed kernel boot. Tested with QEMU and OVMF firmware. Fixes: bad267f9e18f ("efi: verify that variable services are supported") Signed-off-by: Oleksandr Tymoshenko Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

efi/libstub: Add get_event_log() support for CC platforms

2024-03-09T10:37:17Z

To allow event log info access after boot, EFI boot stub extracts the event log information and installs it in an EFI configuration table. Currently, EFI boot stub only supports installation of event log only for TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0 protocols. Extend the same support for CC protocol. Since CC platform also uses TCG2 format, reuse TPM2 support code as much as possible.

efi/tpm: Use symbolic GUID name from spec for final events table

2024-03-09T10:36:56Z

The LINUX_EFI_ GUID identifiers are only intended to be used to refer to GUIDs that are part of the Linux implementation, and are not considered external ABI. (Famous last words). GUIDs that already have a symbolic name in the spec should use that name, to avoid confusion between firmware components. So use the official name EFI_TCG2_FINAL_EVENTS_TABLE_GUID for the TCG2 'final events' configuration table.

efivarfs: automatically update super block flag

2023-12-11T10:19:18Z

efivar operation is updated when the tee_stmm_efi module is probed. tee_stmm_efi module supports SetVariable runtime service, but user needs to manually remount the efivarfs as RW to enable the write access if the previous efivar operation does not support SetVariable and efivarfs is mounted as read-only. This commit notifies the update of efivar operation to efivarfs subsystem, then drops SB_RDONLY flag if the efivar operation supports SetVariable.

efi: expose efivar generic ops register function

2023-12-11T10:19:18Z

This is a preparation for supporting efivar operations provided by other than efi subsystem. Both register and unregister functions are exposed so that non-efi subsystem can revert the efi generic operation.

efi: fix memory leak in krealloc failure handling

2023-10-13T10:32:37Z

In the previous code, there was a memory leak issue where the previously allocated memory was not freed upon a failed krealloc operation. This patch addresses the problem by releasing the old memory before setting the pointer to NULL in case of a krealloc failure. This ensures that memory is properly managed and avoids potential memory leaks. Signed-off-by: Kuan-Wei Chiu Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

efi/unaccepted: Make sure unaccepted table is mapped

2023-09-19T16:11:36Z

Unaccepted table is now allocated from EFI_ACPI_RECLAIM_MEMORY. It translates into E820_TYPE_ACPI, which is not added to memblock and therefore not mapped in the direct mapping. This causes a crash on the first touch of the table. Use memblock_add() to make sure that the table is mapped in direct mapping. Align the range to the nearest page borders. Ranges smaller than page size are not mapped. Fixes: e7761d827e99 ("efi/unaccepted: Use ACPI reclaim memory for unaccepted memory table") Reported-by: Hongyu Ning Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture

2023-09-11T08:13:17Z

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.
