Fix built-in early-load Intel microcode alignment

2020-01-15T19:50:37Z

Intel Software Developer's Manual, volume 3, chapter 9.11.6 says: "Note that the microcode update must be aligned on a 16-byte boundary and the size of the microcode update must be 1-KByte granular" When early-load Intel microcode is loaded from initramfs, userspace tool 'iucode_tool' has already 16-byte aligned those microcode bits in that initramfs image. Image that was created something like this: iucode_tool --write-earlyfw=FOO.cpio microcode-files... However, when early-load Intel microcode is loaded from built-in firmware BLOB using CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE= kernel config option, that 16-byte alignment is not guaranteed. Fix this by forcing all built-in firmware BLOBs to 16-byte alignment. [ If we end up having other firmware with much bigger alignment requirements, we might need to introduce some method for the firmware to specify it, this is the minimal "just increase the alignment a bit to account for this one special case" patch - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Jari Ruusu Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Fenghua Yu Cc: Luis Chamberlain Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

firmware_loader: Fix labels with comma for builtin firmware

2019-11-19T04:29:29Z

Some firmware images contain a comma, such as: EXTRA_FIRMWARE "brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt" as Broadcom firmware simply tags the device tree compatible string at the end of the firmware parameter file. And the compatible string contains a comma. This doesn't play well with gas: drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt.gen.S: Assembler messages: drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt.gen.S:4: Error: bad instruction `_fw_brcm_brcmfmac4334_sdio_samsung,gt_s7710_txt_bin:' drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt.gen.S:9: Error: bad instruction `_fw_brcm_brcmfmac4334_sdio_samsung,gt_s7710_txt_name:' drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt.gen.S:15: Error: can't resolve `.rodata' {.rodata section} - `_fw_brcm_brcmfmac4334_sdio_samsung' {*UND* section} make[6]: *** [../scripts/Makefile.build:357: drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt.gen.o] Error 1 We need to get rid of the comma from the labels used by the assembly stub generator. Replacing a comma using GNU Make subst requires a helper variable.

firmware_class: make firmware caching configurable

2019-11-14T00:14:16Z

Because firmware caching generates uevent messages that are sent over a netlink socket, it can prevent suspend on many platforms. It's also not always useful, so make it a configurable option.

firmware: Fix missing inline

2019-07-23T08:20:25Z

I mistakenly dropped the inline while resolving the patch conflicts in the previous fix patch. Without inline, we get compiler warnings wrt unused functions.

proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check

2019-07-19T00:08:07Z

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as minimum and maximum allowed value. On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced. The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1, int_max=INT_MAX in different source files: $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l 248 Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them instead of creating a local one for every object file.

firmware: Add support for loading compressed files

2019-06-18T07:11:22Z

This patch adds the support for loading compressed firmware files. The primary motivation is to reduce the storage size; e.g. currently the files in /lib/firmware on my machine counts up to 419MB, while they can be reduced to 130MB by file compression. The patch introduces a new kconfig option CONFIG_FW_LOADER_COMPRESS. Even with this option set, the firmware loader still tries to load the original firmware file as-is at first, but then falls back to the file with ".xz" extension when it's not found, and the decompressed file content is returned to the caller of request_firmware(). So, no change is needed for the rest. Currently only XZ format is supported. A caveat is that the kernel XZ helper code supports only CRC32 (or none) integrity check type, so you'll have to compress the files via xz -C crc32 option. Since we can't determine the expanded size immediately from an XZ file, the patch re-uses the paged buffer that was used for the user-mode fallback; it puts the decompressed content page, which are vmapped at the end. The paged buffer code is conditionally built with a new Kconfig that is selected automatically. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
