[ Upstream commit 4f74d72aa7067e75af92fbab077e6d7d0210be66 ]

When CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET=y, TEXT_OFFSET is an arbitrary
multiple of PAGE_SIZE in the interval [0, 2MB).

The EFI stub does not account for the potential misalignment of
TEXT_OFFSET relative to EFI_KIMG_ALIGN, and produces a randomized
physical offset which is always a round multiple of EFI_KIMG_ALIGN.
This may result in statically allocated objects whose alignment exceeds
PAGE_SIZE to appear misaligned in memory. This has been observed to
result in spurious stack overflow reports and failure to make use of
the IRQ stacks, and theoretically could result in a number of other
issues.

We can OR in the low bits of TEXT_OFFSET to ensure that we have the
necessary offset (and hence preserve the misalignment of TEXT_OFFSET
relative to EFI_KIMG_ALIGN), so let's do that.

As reported by Jeremy Cline, running the new TPM libstub code in mixed
mode (i.e., 64-bit kernel on 32-bit UEFI) results in hangs when invoking
the TCG2 protocol, or when accessing the log_tbl pool allocation.

The reason turns out to be that in both cases, the 64-bit pointer
variables are not fully initialized by the 32-bit EFI code, and so
we should take care to zero initialize these variables beforehand,
or we'll end up dereferencing bogus pointers.

With TPM 2.0 specification, the event logs may only be accessible by
calling an EFI Boot Service. Modify the EFI stub to copy the log area to
a new Linux-specific EFI configuration table so it remains accessible
once booted.

When calling this service, it is possible to specify the expected format
of the logs: TPM 1.2 (SHA1) or TPM 2.0 ("Crypto Agile"). For now, only the
first format is retrieved.

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:

 - omit EFI memory map sorting, which was recently introduced, but
   caused problems with the decompressor due to additional sections
   being emitted.

 - avoid unaligned load fault-generating instructions in the
   decompressor by switching to a private unaligned implementation.

 - add a symbol into the decompressor to further debug non-boot
   situations (ld's documentation is extremely poor for how "." works,
   ld doesn't seem to follow its own documentation!)

 - parse endian information to sparse

* 'fixes' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:
  ARM: add debug ".edata_real" symbol
  ARM: 8716/1: pass endianness info to sparse
  efi/libstub: arm: omit sorting of the UEFI memory map

Pull initial SPDX identifiers from Greg KH:
 "License cleanup: add SPDX license identifiers to some files

  Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
  makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

  By default all files without license information are under the default
  license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

  Update the files which contain no license information with the
  'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally
  binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate
  text.

  This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart
  and Philippe Ombredanne.

  How this work was done:

  Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset
  of the use cases:

   - file had no licensing information it it.

   - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,

   - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

  Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
  where non-standard license headers were used, and references to
  license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

  The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied
  to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of
  the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver)
  producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.
  Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review
  of a few 1000 files.

  The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537
  files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the
  scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license
  identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any
  determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with
  the Linux Foundation.

  Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:

   - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.

   - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained
     &gt;5 lines of source

   - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
     lines).

  All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

  The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
  identifiers to apply.

   - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
     considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
     COPYING file license applied.

     For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

       SPDX license identifier                            # files
       ---------------------------------------------------|-------
       GPL-2.0                                              11139

     and resulted in the first patch in this series.

     If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
     Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that
     was:

       SPDX license identifier                            # files
       ---------------------------------------------------|-------
       GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

     and resulted in the second patch in this series.

   - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
     of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
     any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
     it (per prior point). Results summary:

       SPDX license identifier                            # files
       ---------------------------------------------------|------
       GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
       GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
       ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
       ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
       LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
       GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
       ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
       LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
       LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
       ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
       ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

     and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

   - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that
     became the concluded license(s).

   - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected
     a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
     licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

   - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
     resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply
     (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

   - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
     confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

   - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
     the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
     in time.

  In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
  spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
  source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases,
  confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

  Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
  FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
  disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.
  The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in
  part, so they are related.

  Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
  for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
  files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot
  checks in about 15000 files.

  In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
  copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect
  the correct identifier.

  Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
  inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial
  patch version early this week with:

   - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
     license ids and scores

   - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
     files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct

   - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch
     license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the
     applied SPDX license was correct

  This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
  worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
  different types of files to be modified.

  These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
  parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
  format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
  based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
  distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
  comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
  generate the patches.

ARM shares its EFI stub implementation with arm64, which has some
special handling in the virtual remapping code to
a) make sure that we can map everything even if the OS executes
   with 64k page size, and
b) make sure that adjacent regions with the same attributes are not
   reordered or moved apart in memory.

The latter is a workaround for a 'feature' that was shortly recommended
by UEFI spec v2.5, but deprecated shortly after, due to the fact that
it broke many OS installers, including non-Linux ones, and it was never
widely implemented for ARM systems. Before implementing b), the arm64
code simply rounded up all regions to 64 KB granularity, but given that
that results in moving adjacent regions apart, it had to be refined when
b) was implemented.

The adjacency check requires a sort() pass, due to the fact that the
UEFI spec does not mandate any ordering, and the inclusion of the
lib/sort.c code into the ARM EFI stub is causing some trouble with
the decompressor build due to the fact that its EXPORT_SYMBOL() call
triggers the creation of ksymtab/kcrctab sections.

So let's simply do away with the adjacency check for ARM, and simply put
all UEFI runtime regions together if they have the same memory attributes.
This is guaranteed to work, given that ARM only supports 4 KB pages,
and allows us to remove the sort() call entirely.

Commit:

  e69176d68d26 ("ef/libstub/arm/arm64: Randomize the base of the UEFI rt services region")

implemented randomization of the virtual mapping that the OS chooses for
the UEFI runtime services. This was motivated by the fact that UEFI usually
does not bother to specify any permission restrictions for those regions,
making them prime real estate for exploitation now that the OS is getting
more and more careful not to leave any R+W+X mapped regions lying around.

However, this randomization breaks assumptions in the resume from
hibernation code, which expects all memory regions populated by UEFI to
remain in the same place, including their virtual mapping into the OS
memory space. While this assumption may not be entirely reasonable in the
first place, breaking it deliberately does not make a lot of sense either.
So let's refrain from this randomization pass if CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y.

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Transparently fall back to other poweroff method(s) if EFI poweroff
     fails (and returns)

   - Use separate PE/COFF section headers for the RX and RW parts of the
     ARM stub loader so that the firmware can use strict mapping
     permissions

   - Add support for requesting the firmware to wipe RAM at warm reboot

   - Increase the size of the random seed obtained from UEFI so CRNG
     fast init can complete earlier

   - Update the EFI framebuffer address if it points to a BAR that gets
     moved by the PCI resource allocation code

   - Enable "reset attack mitigation" of TPM environments: this is
     enabled if the kernel is configured with
     CONFIG_RESET_ATTACK_MITIGATION=y.

   - Clang related fixes

   - Misc cleanups, constification, refactoring, etc"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - VMAP_STACK support, allowing the kernel stacks to be allocated in the
   vmalloc space with a guard page for trapping stack overflows. One of
   the patches introduces THREAD_ALIGN and changes the generic
   alloc_thread_stack_node() to use this instead of THREAD_SIZE (no
   functional change for other architectures)

 - Contiguous PTE hugetlb support re-enabled (after being reverted a
   couple of times). We now have the semantics agreed in the generic mm
   layer together with API improvements so that the architecture code
   can detect between contiguous and non-contiguous huge PTEs

 - Initial support for persistent memory on ARM: DC CVAP instruction
   exposed to user space (HWCAP) and the in-kernel pmem API implemented

 - raid6 improvements for arm64: faster algorithm for the delta syndrome
   and implementation of the recovery routines using Neon

 - FP/SIMD refactoring and removal of support for Neon in interrupt
   context. This is in preparation for full SVE support

 - PTE accessors converted from inline asm to cmpxchg so that we can use
   LSE atomics if available (ARMv8.1)

 - Perf support for Cortex-A35 and A73

 - Non-urgent fixes and cleanups
