vgacon: clean up global screen_info instances

2023-10-17T08:17:02Z

To prepare for completely separating the VGA console screen_info from the one used in EFI/sysfb, rename the vgacon instances and make them local as much as possible. ia64 and arm both have confurations with vgacon and efi, but the contents never overlaps because ia64 has no EFI framebuffer, and arm only has vga console on legacy platforms without EFI. Renaming these is required before the EFI screen_info can be moved into drivers/firmware. The ia64 vga console is actually registered in two places from setup_arch(), but one of them is wrong, so drop the one in pcdp.c and fix the one in setup.c to use the correct conditional. x86 has to keep them together, as the boot protocol is used to switch between VGA text console and framebuffer through the screen_info data.

efi: Do not include from EFI header

2023-07-08T18:26:36Z

The header file does not need anything from . Declare struct screen_info and remove the include statements. Update a number of source files that require struct screen_info's definition. v2: * update loongarch (Jingfeng) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas Reviewed-by: Sui Jingfeng Cc: Ard Biesheuvel Cc: Russell King Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Will Deacon Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230706104852.27451-2-tzimmermann@suse.de

efi: Discover BTI support in runtime services regions

2023-02-04T08:19:02Z

Add the generic plumbing to detect whether or not the runtime code regions were constructed with BTI/IBT landing pads by the firmware, permitting the OS to enable enforcement when mapping these regions into the OS's address space. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Reviewed-by: Kees Cook

efi: libstub: Move screen_info handling to common code

2022-11-09T11:42:02Z

Currently, arm64, RISC-V and LoongArch rely on the fact that struct screen_info can be accessed directly, due to the fact that the EFI stub and the core kernel are part of the same image. This will change after a future patch, so let's ensure that the screen_info handling is able to deal with this, by adopting the arm32 approach of passing it as a configuration table. While at it, switch to ACPI reclaim memory to hold the screen_info data, which is more appropriate for this kind of allocation. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

mm/pgtable: drop pgtable_t variable from pte_fn_t functions

2019-07-12T18:05:46Z

Drop the pgtable_t variable from all implementation for pte_fn_t as none of them use it. apply_to_pte_range() should stop computing it as well. Should help us save some cycles.

ARM/efi: Apply strict permissions for UEFI Runtime Services regions

2016-04-28T09:33:53Z

Recent UEFI versions expose permission attributes for runtime services memory regions, either in the UEFI memory map or in the separate memory attributes table. This allows the kernel to map these regions with stricter permissions, rather than the RWX permissions that are used by default. So wire this up in our mapping routine.

ARM: wire up UEFI init and runtime support

2015-12-13T18:18:30Z

This adds support to the kernel proper for booting via UEFI. It shares most of the code with arm64, so this patch mostly just wires it up for use with ARM. Note that this does not include the EFI stub, it is added in a subsequent patch. Tested-by: Ryan Harkin Reviewed-by: Matt Fleming Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel
