efi/arm: Fix absolute relocation detection for older toolchains

2016-10-19T12:49:44Z

When building the ARM kernel with CONFIG_EFI=y, the following build error may occur when using a less recent version of binutils (2.23 or older): STUBCPY drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-sort.stub.o 00000000 R_ARM_ABS32 sort 00000004 R_ARM_ABS32 __ksymtab_strings drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-sort.stub.o: absolute symbol references not allowed in the EFI stub (and when building with debug symbols, the list above is much longer, and contains all the internal references between the .debug sections and the actual code) This issue is caused by the fact that objcopy v2.23 or earlier does not support wildcards in its -R and -j options, which means the following line from the Makefile: STUBCOPY_FLAGS-y := -R .debug* -R *ksymtab* -R *kcrctab* fails to take effect, leaving harmless absolute relocations in the binary that are indistinguishable from relocations that may cause crashes at runtime due to the fact that these relocations are resolved at link time using the virtual address of the kernel, which is always different from the address at which the EFI firmware loads and invokes the stub. So, as a workaround, disable debug symbols explicitly when building the stub for ARM, and strip the ksymtab and kcrctab symbols for the only exported symbol we currently reuse in the stub, which is 'sort'.

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar: "Main changes in this cycle were: - Refactor the EFI memory map code into architecture neutral files and allow drivers to permanently reserve EFI boot services regions on x86, as well as ARM/arm64. (Matt Fleming) - Add ARM support for the EFI ESRT driver. (Ard Biesheuvel) - Make the EFI runtime services and efivar API interruptible by swapping spinlocks for semaphores. (Sylvain Chouleur) - Provide the EFI identity mapping for kexec which allows kexec to work on SGI/UV platforms with requiring the "noefi" kernel command line parameter. (Alex Thorlton) - Add debugfs node to dump EFI page tables on arm64. (Ard Biesheuvel) - Merge the EFI test driver being carried out of tree until now in the FWTS project. (Ivan Hu) - Expand the list of flags for classifying EFI regions as "RAM" on arm64 so we align with the UEFI spec. (Ard Biesheuvel) - Optimise out the EFI mixed mode if it's unsupported (CONFIG_X86_32) or disabled (CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=n) and switch the early EFI boot services function table for direct calls, alleviating us from having to maintain the custom function table. (Lukas Wunner) - Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes" * 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (30 commits) x86/efi: Round EFI memmap reservations to EFI_PAGE_SIZE x86/efi: Allow invocation of arbitrary boot services x86/efi: Optimize away setup_gop32/64 if unused x86/efi: Use kmalloc_array() in efi_call_phys_prolog() efi/arm64: Treat regions with WT/WC set but WB cleared as memory efi: Add efi_test driver for exporting UEFI runtime service interfaces x86/efi: Defer efi_esrt_init until after memblock_x86_fill efi/arm64: Add debugfs node to dump UEFI runtime page tables x86/efi: Remove unused find_bits() function fs/efivarfs: Fix double kfree() in error path x86/efi: Map in physical addresses in efi_map_region_fixed lib/ucs2_string: Speed up ucs2_utf8size() firmware-gsmi: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "dma_pool_destroy" x86/efi: Initialize status to ensure garbage is not returned on small size efi: Replace runtime services spinlock with semaphore efi: Don't use spinlocks for efi vars efi: Use a file local lock for efivars efi/arm*: esrt: Add missing call to efi_esrt_init() efi/esrt: Use memremap not ioremap to access ESRT table in memory x86/efi-bgrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() to avoid copying image data ...

x86/efi: Round EFI memmap reservations to EFI_PAGE_SIZE

2016-09-20T14:43:31Z

Mike Galbraith reported that his machine started rebooting during boot after, commit 8e80632fb23f ("efi/esrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() and avoid a kmalloc()") The ESRT table on his machine is 56 bytes and at no point in the efi_arch_mem_reserve() call path is that size rounded up to EFI_PAGE_SIZE, nor is the start address on an EFI_PAGE_SIZE boundary. Since the EFI memory map only deals with whole pages, inserting an EFI memory region with 56 bytes results in a new entry covering zero pages, and completely screws up the calculations for the old regions that were trimmed. Round all sizes upwards, and start addresses downwards, to the nearest EFI_PAGE_SIZE boundary. Additionally, efi_memmap_insert() expects the mem::range::end value to be one less than the end address for the region.
