Pull x86 EFI fixes from Peter Anvin: "This is a collection of fixes for the EFI support. The controversial bit here is a set of patches which bumps the boot protocol version as part of fixing some serious problems with the EFI handover protocol, used when booting under EFI using a bootloader as opposed to directly from EFI. These changes should also make it a lot saner to support cross-mode 32/64-bit EFI booting in the future. Getting these changes into 3.8 means we avoid presenting an inconsistent ABI to bootloaders. Other changes are display detection and fixing efivarfs." * 'x86-efi-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, efi: remove attribute check from setup_efi_pci x86, build: Dynamically find entry points in compressed startup code x86, efi: Fix PCI ROM handing in EFI boot stub, in 32-bit mode x86, efi: Fix 32-bit EFI handover protocol entry point x86, efi: Fix display detection in EFI boot stub x86, boot: Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocol x86/boot: Fix minor fd leakage in tools/relocs.c x86, efi: Set runtime_version to the EFI spec revision x86, efi: fix 32-bit warnings in setup_efi_pci() efivarfs: Delete dentry from dcache in efivarfs_file_write() efivarfs: Never return ENOENT from firmware efi, x86: Pass a proper identity mapping in efi_call_phys_prelog efivarfs: Drop link count of the right inode

efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities

2013-01-30T19:51:59Z

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware. The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become bricked. Also, the following report, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression, if (!efi_enabled) hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time. Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons - what they really want access to is the list of available EFI facilities. For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things). This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

efivarfs: Delete dentry from dcache in efivarfs_file_write()

2013-01-18T09:43:44Z

Unlike the unlink path that is called from the VFS layer, we need to call d_delete() ourselves when a variable is deleted in efivarfs_file_write(). Failure to do so means we can access a stale struct efivar_entry when reading/writing the file, which can result in the following oops, [ 59.978216] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 60.038660] CPU 9 [ 60.040501] Pid: 1001, comm: cat Not tainted 3.7.0-2.fc19.x86_64 #1 IBM System x3550 M3 -[7944I21]-/69Y4438 [ 60.050840] RIP: 0010:[] [] __lock_acquire+0x5e/0x1bb0 [ 60.059198] RSP: 0018:ffff880270595ce8 EFLAGS: 00010046 [ 60.064500] RAX: 0000000000000046 RBX: 0000000000000002 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 60.071617] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b83 [ 60.078735] RBP: ffff880270595dd8 R08: 0000000000000002 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 60.085852] R10: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b83 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000000 [ 60.092971] R13: ffff88027170cd20 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 [ 60.100091] FS: 00007fc0c8ff3740(0000) GS:ffff880277000000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 60.108164] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 60.113899] CR2: 0000000001520000 CR3: 000000026d594000 CR4: 00000000000007e0 [ 60.121016] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 60.128135] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 60.135254] Process cat (pid: 1001, threadinfo ffff880270594000, task ffff88027170cd20) [ 60.143239] Stack: [ 60.145251] ffff880270595cf8 ffffffff81021da3 ffff880270595d08 ffffffff81021e19 [ 60.152714] ffff880270595d38 ffffffff810acdb5 ffff880200000168 0000000000000086 [ 60.160175] ffff88027170d5e8 ffffffff810d25ed ffff880270595d58 ffffffff810ace7f [ 60.167638] Call Trace: [ 60.170088] [] ? native_sched_clock+0x13/0x80 [ 60.176085] [] ? sched_clock+0x9/0x10 [ 60.181389] [] ? sched_clock_cpu+0xc5/0x120 [ 60.187211] [] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xd/0x10 [ 60.193121] [] ? local_clock+0x6f/0x80 [ 60.198513] [] ? lock_release_holdtime.part.26+0xf/0x180 [ 60.205465] [] ? lock_release_non_nested+0x2e7/0x320 [ 60.212073] [] ? efivarfs_file_write+0x5b/0x280 [ 60.218242] [] lock_acquire+0xa1/0x1f0 [ 60.223633] [] ? efivarfs_file_write+0x111/0x280 [ 60.229892] [] ? might_fault+0x5c/0xb0 [ 60.235287] [] _raw_spin_lock+0x46/0x80 [ 60.240762] [] ? efivarfs_file_write+0x111/0x280 [ 60.247018] [] efivarfs_file_write+0x111/0x280 [ 60.253103] [] vfs_write+0xaf/0x190 [ 60.258233] [] sys_write+0x55/0xa0 [ 60.263278] [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 60.269271] Code: 41 0f 45 d8 4c 89 75 f0 4c 89 7d f8 85 c0 0f 84 09 01 00 00 8b 05 a3 f9 ff 00 49 89 fa 41 89 f6 41 89 d3 85 c0 0f 84 12 01 00 00 <49> 8b 02 ba 01 00 00 00 48 3d a0 07 14 82 0f 44 da 41 83 fe 01 [ 60.289431] RIP [] __lock_acquire+0x5e/0x1bb0 [ 60.295444] RSP [ 60.298928] ---[ end trace 1bbfd41a2cf6a0d8 ]--- Cc: Josh Boyer Acked-by: Jeremy Kerr Cc: Lee, Chun-Yi Cc: Andy Whitcroft Reported-by: Lingzhu Xiang Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming

efivarfs: Never return ENOENT from firmware

2013-01-18T09:43:44Z

Files are created in efivarfs_create() before a corresponding variable is created in the firmware. This leads to users being able to read/write to the file without the variable existing in the firmware. Reading a non-existent variable currently returns -ENOENT, which is confusing because the file obviously *does* exist. Convert EFI_NOT_FOUND into -EIO which is the closest thing to "error while interacting with firmware", and should hopefully indicate to the caller that the variable is in some uninitialised state.

Drivers: misc: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:16Z

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand. Cc: Bill Pemberton Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: fetch dmi version from SMBIOS if it exists

2012-12-21T01:40:19Z

The right dmi version is in SMBIOS if it's zero in DMI region This issue was originally found from an oracle bug. One customer noticed system UUID doesn't match between dmidecode & uek2. - HP ProLiant BL460c G6 : # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid 00000000-0000-4C48-3031-4D5030333531 # dmidecode | grep -i uuid UUID: 00000000-0000-484C-3031-4D5030333531 From SMBIOS 2.6 on, spec use little-endian encoding for UUID other than network byte order. So we need to get dmi version to distinguish. If version is 0.0, the real version is taken from the SMBIOS version. This is part of original kernel comment in code.
