efi/libstub: Skip GOP with PIXEL_BLT_ONLY format
The UEFI Specification permits Graphics Output Protocol (GOP) instances without direct framebuffer access. This is indicated in the Mode structure with a PixelFormat enumeration value of PIXEL_BLT_ONLY. Given that the kernel does not know how to drive a Blt() only framebuffer (which is only permitted before ExitBootServices() anyway), we should disregard such framebuffers when looking for a GOP instance that is suitable for use as the boot console. So modify the EFI GOP initialization to not use a PIXEL_BLT_ONLY instance, preventing attempts later in boot to use an invalid screen_info.lfb_base address. Signed-off-by: Eugene Cohen <eugene@hp.com> [ Moved the Blt() only check into the loop and clarified that Blt() only GOPs are unusable by the kernel. ] Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v4.7+ Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Matt Fleming <matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: leif.lindholm@linaro.org Cc: linux-efi@vger.kernel.org Cc: lorenzo.pieralisi@arm.com Fixes: 9822504c1fa5 ("efifb: Enable the efi-framebuffer platform driver ...")
