The pure EFI stub entry point does not take a struct boot_params from
the boot loader, but creates it from scratch, and populates only the
fields that still have meaning in this context (command line, initrd
base and size, etc)
The original mixed mode implementation used the EFI handover protocol
instead, where the boot loader (i.e., GRUB) populates a boot_params
struct and passes it to a special Linux specific EFI entry point that
takes the boot_params pointer as its third argument.
When the new mixed mode implementation was introduced, using a special
32-bit PE entrypoint in the 64-bit kernel, it adopted the pure approach,
and relied on the EFI stub to create the struct boot_params. This is
preferred because it makes the bootloader side much easier to implement,
as it does not need any x86-specific knowledge on how struct boot_params
and struct setup_header are put together. This mixed mode implementation
was adopted by systemd-boot version 252 and later.
When commit
e2ab9eab324c ("x86/boot/compressed: Move 32-bit entrypoint code into .text section")
refactored this code and moved it out of head_64.S, the fact that ESI
was populated with the address of the base of the image was overlooked,
and to simplify the code flow, ESI is now zeroed and stored to memory
unconditionally in shared code, so that the NULL-ness of that variable
can still be used later to determine which mixed mode boot protocol is
in use.
With ESI pointing to the base of the image, it can serve as a struct
boot_params pointer for startup_32(), which only accesses the init_data
and kernel_alignment fields (and the scratch field as a temporary
stack). Zeroing ESI means that those accesses produce garbage now, even
though things appear to work if the first page of memory happens to be
zeroed, and the region right before LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR (== 16 MiB)
happens to be free.
The solution is to pass a special, temporary struct boot_params to
startup_32() via ESI, one that is sufficient for getting it to create
the page tables correctly and is discarded right after. This involves
setting a minimal alignment of 4k, only to get the statically allocated
page tables line up correctly, and setting init_size to the executable
image size (_end - startup_32). This ensures that the page tables are
covered by the static footprint of the PE image.
Given that EFI boot no longer calls the decompressor and no longer pads
the image to permit the decompressor to execute in place, the same
temporary struct boot_params should be used in the EFI handover protocol
based mixed mode implementation as well, to prevent the page tables from
being placed outside of allocated memory.

Pull EFI fixes from Ard Biesheuvel:
- Fix logic that is supposed to prevent placement of the kernel image
below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR
- Use the firmware stack in the EFI stub when running in mixed mode
- Clear BSS only once when using mixed mode
- Check efi.get_variable() function pointer for NULL before trying to
call it

x86/efistub: Call mixed mode boot services on the firmware's stack
efi/libstub: fix efi_random_alloc() to allocate memory at alloc_min or higher address
|
|
Normally, the EFI stub calls into the EFI boot services using the stack
that was live when the stub was entered. According to the UEFI spec,
this stack needs to be at least 128k in size - this might seem large but
all asynchronous processing and event handling in EFI runs from the same
stack and so quite a lot of space may be used in practice.
In mixed mode, the situation is a bit different: the bootloader calls
the 32-bit EFI stub entry point, which calls the decompressor's 32-bit
entry point, where the boot stack is set up, using a fixed allocation
of 16k. This stack is still in use when the EFI stub is started in
64-bit mode, and so all calls back into the EFI firmware will be using
the decompressor's limited boot stack.
Due to the placement of the boot stack right after the boot heap, any
stack overruns have gone unnoticed. However, commit
5c4feadb0011983b ("x86/decompressor: Move global symbol references to C code")
moved the definition of the boot heap into C code, and now the boot
stack is placed right at the base of BSS, where any overruns will
corrupt the end of the .data section.
While it would be possible to work around this by increasing the size of
the boot stack, doing so would affect all x86 systems, and mixed mode
systems are a tiny (and shrinking) fraction of the x86 installed base.
So instead, record the firmware stack pointer value when entering from
the 32-bit firmware, and switch to this stack every time a EFI boot
service call is made.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.

There's a new conflict with Linus's upstream tree, because
in the following merge conflict resolution in <asm/coco.h>:
38b334fc767e Merge tag 'x86_sev_for_v6.9_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Linus has resolved the conflicting placement of 'cc_mask' better
than the original commit:
1c811d403afd x86/sev: Fix position dependent variable references in startup code
... which was also done by an internal merge resolution:
2e5fc4786b7a Merge branch 'x86/sev' into x86/boot, to resolve conflicts and to pick up dependent tree
But Linus is right in 38b334fc767e, the 'cc_mask' declaration is sufficient
within the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM block.
So instead of forcing Linus to do the same resolution again, merge in Linus's
tree and follow his conflict resolution.

Currently, the EFI stub invokes the EFI memory attributes protocol to
strip any NX restrictions from the entire loaded kernel, resulting in
all code and data being mapped read-write-execute.
The point of the EFI memory attributes protocol is to remove the need
for all memory allocations to be mapped with both write and execute
permissions by default, and make it the OS loader's responsibility to
transition data mappings to code mappings where appropriate.
Even though the UEFI specification does not appear to leave room for
denying memory attribute changes based on security policy, let's be
cautious and avoid relying on the ability to create read-write-execute
mappings. This is trivially achievable, given that the amount of kernel
code executing via the firmware's 1:1 mapping is rather small and
limited to the .head.text region. So let's drop the NX restrictions only
on that subregion, but not before remapping it as read-only first.

The early SME/SEV code parses the command line very early, in order to
decide whether or not memory encryption should be enabled, which needs
to occur even before the initial page tables are created.
This is problematic for a number of reasons:
- this early code runs from the 1:1 mapping provided by the decompressor
or firmware, which uses a different translation than the one assumed by
the linker, and so the code needs to be built in a special way;
- parsing external input while the entire kernel image is still mapped
writable is a bad idea in general, and really does not belong in
security minded code;
- the current code ignores the built-in command line entirely (although
this appears to be the case for the entire decompressor)
Given that the decompressor/EFI stub is an intrinsic part of the x86
bootable kernel image, move the command line parsing there and out of
the core kernel. This removes the need to build lib/cmdline.o in a
special way, or to use RIP-relative LEA instructions in inline asm
blocks.
This involves a new xloadflag in the setup header to indicate
that mem_encrypt=on appeared on the kernel command line.

Improve the reporting of buffer overflows under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE to
help accelerate debugging efforts. The calculations are all just sitting
in registers anyway, so pass them along to the function to be reported.
For example, before:
detected buffer overflow in memcpy
and after:
memcpy: detected buffer overflow: 4096 byte read of buffer size 1

In preparation for KUnit testing and further improvements in fortify
failure reporting, split out the report and encode the function and access
failure (read or write overflow) into a single u8 argument. This mainly
ends up saving a tiny bit of space in the data segment. For a defconfig

The .compat section is a dummy PE section that contains the address of
the 32-bit entrypoint of the 64-bit kernel image if it is bootable from
32-bit firmware (i.e., CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y)
This section is only 8 bytes in size and is only referenced from the
loader, and so it is placed at the end of the memory view of the image,
to avoid the need for padding it to 4k, which is required for sections
appearing in the middle of the image.
Unfortunately, this violates the PE/COFF spec, and even if most EFI
loaders will work correctly (including the Tianocore reference
implementation), PE loaders do exist that reject such images, on the
basis that both the file and memory views of the file contents should be
described by the section headers in a monotonically increasing manner
without leaving any gaps.
So reorganize the sections to avoid this issue. This results in a slight
padding overhead (< 4k) which can be avoided if desired by disabling
CONFIG_EFI_MIXED (which is only needed in rare cases these days)

We'd like to replace all the magic numbers in various GDT descriptors
with new, semantically meaningful, symbolic values.
In order to be able to verify that the change doesn't cause any actual
changes to the compiled binary code, I've split the change into two
patches:
- Part 1 (this commit): everything _but_ actually replacing the numbers
- Part 2 (the following commit): _only_ replacing the numbers
The reason we need this split for verification is that including new
headers causes some spurious changes to the object files, mostly line
number changes in the debug info but occasionally other subtle codegen
changes.

When there are two racing NMIs on x86, the first NMI invokes NMI handler and
the 2nd NMI is latched until IRET is executed.
If panic on NMI and panic kexec are enabled, the first NMI triggers
panic and starts booting the next kernel via kexec. Note that the 2nd
NMI is still latched. During the early boot of the next kernel, once
an IRET is executed as a result of a page fault, then the 2nd NMI is
unlatched and invokes the NMI handler.
However, NMI handler is not set up at the early stage of boot, which
results in a boot failure.
Avoid such problems by setting up a NOP handler for early NMIs.

The x86 decompressor is built and linked as a separate executable, but
it shares components with the kernel proper, which are either #include'd
as C files, or linked into the decompresor as a static library (e.g, the
EFI stub)
Both the kernel itself and the decompressor define a global symbol
'boot_params' to refer to the boot_params struct, but in the former
case, it refers to the struct directly, whereas in the decompressor, it
refers to a global pointer variable referring to the struct boot_params
passed by the bootloader or constructed from scratch.
This ambiguity is unfortunate, and makes it impossible to assign this
decompressor variable from the x86 EFI stub, given that declaring it as
extern results in a clash. So rename the decompressor version (whose
scope is limited) to boot_params_ptr.

Align x86 with other EFI architectures, and increase the section
alignment to the EFI page size (4k), so that firmware is able to honour
the section permission attributes and map code read-only and data
non-executable.
There are a number of requirements that have to be taken into account:
- the sign tools get cranky when there are gaps between sections in the
file view of the image
- the virtual offset of each section must be aligned to the image's
section alignment
- the file offset *and size* of each section must be aligned to the
image's file alignment
- the image size must be aligned to the section alignment
- each section's virtual offset must be greater than or equal to the
size of the headers.
In order to meet all these requirements, while avoiding the need for
lots of padding to accommodate the .compat section, the latter is placed
at an arbitrary offset towards the end of the image, but aligned to the
minimum file alignment (512 bytes). The space before the .text section
is therefore distributed between the PE header, the .setup section and
the .compat section, leaving no gaps in the file coverage, making the
signing tools happy.

.text and .data PE/COFF sections, so that we will be able to map them

possible to populate the PE/COFF header fields from the asm code

having to tweak the build tool in lockstep.

Tweak the linker script so that the value of _edata represents the
decompressor binary's file size rounded up to the appropriate alignment.
This removes the need to calculate it in the build tool, and will make
it easier to refer to the file size from the header directly in
subsequent changes to the PE header layout.
While adding _edata to the sed regex that parses the compressed
vmlinux's symbol list, tweak the regex a bit for conciseness.
This change has no impact on the resulting bzImage binary when

The setup block contains the real mode startup code that is used when
booting from a legacy BIOS, along with the boot_params/setup_data that
is used by legacy x86 bootloaders to pass the command line and initial
ramdisk parameters, among other things.
The setup block also contains the PE/COFF header of the entire combined
image, which includes the compressed kernel image, the decompressor and
the EFI stub.
This PE header describes the layout of the executable image in memory,
and currently, the fact that the setup block precedes it makes it rather
fiddly to get the right values into the right place in the final image.
Let's make things a bit easier by defining the setup_size in the linker
script so it can be referenced from the asm code directly, rather than
having to rely on the build tool to calculate it. For the time being,
add 64 bytes of fixed padding for the .reloc and .compat sections - this
will be removed in a subsequent patch after the PE/COFF header has been
reorganized.
This change has no impact on the resulting bzImage binary when
configured with CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y.
