2013-11-03dmi: Avoid unaligned memory access in save_mem_devices()Luck, Tony
Firmware is not required to maintain alignment of SMBIOS entries, so we should take care accessing fields within these structures. Use "get_unaligned()" to avoid problems.

cper.c contains code to decode and print "Common Platform Error Records". Originally added under drivers/acpi/apei because the only user was in that same directory - but now we have another consumer, and we shouldn't have to force CONFIG_ACPI_APEI get access to this code.

2013-10-04boot, efi: Remove redundant memset()Roy Franz
Remove a redundant memset() call from efi_relocate_kernel() that was clearing memory that would be used by BSS in non-compressed images loaded with this function.

2013-09-25efi: Fix types in EFI calls to match EFI function definitions.Roy Franz
EFI calls can made directly on ARM, so the function pointers are directly invoked. This allows types to be checked at compile time, so here we ensure that the parameters match the function signature. The wrappers used by x86 prevent any type checking. Correct the type of chunksize to be based on native width as specified by the EFI_FILE_PROTOCOL read() function.

2013-09-25efi: Generalize handle_ramdisks() and rename to handle_cmdline_files().Roy Franz
The handle_cmdline_files now takes the option to handle as a string, and returns the loaded data through parameters, rather than taking an x86 specific setup_header structure. For ARM, this will be used to load a device tree blob in addition to initrd images.

2013-09-25efi: Allow efi_free() to be called with size of 0Roy Franz
Make efi_free() safely callable with size of 0, similar to free() being callable with NULL pointers, and do nothing in that case. Remove size checks that this makes redundant.

2013-09-25efi: Move unicode to ASCII conversion to shared function.Roy Franz
Move the open-coded conversion to a shared function for use by all architectures. Change the allocation to prefer a high address for ARM, as this is required to avoid conflicts with reserved regions in low memory.

2013-09-25efi: Generalize relocate_kernel() for use by other architectures.Roy Franz
Rename relocate_kernel() to efi_relocate_kernel(), and take parameters rather than x86 specific structure. Add max_addr argument as for ARM we have some address constraints that we need to enforce when relocating the kernel. Add alloc_size parameter for use by ARM64 which uses an uncompressed kernel, and needs to allocate space for BSS.

2013-09-25efi: Enforce minimum alignment of 1 page on allocations.Roy Franz
The efi_high_alloc() and efi_low_alloc() functions use the EFI_ALLOCATE_ADDRESS option to the EFI function allocate_pages(), which requires a minimum of page alignment, and rejects all other requests. The existing code could fail to allocate depending on allocation size, as although repeated allocation attempts were made, none were guaranteed to be page aligned.

2013-09-25efi: Add system table pointer argument to shared functions.Roy Franz
Add system table pointer argument to shared EFI stub related functions so they no longer use a global system table pointer as they did when part of eboot.c. For the ARM EFI stub this allows us to avoid global variables completely and thereby not have to deal with GOT fixups. Not having the EFI stub fixup its GOT, which is shared with the decompressor, simplifies the relocating of the zImage to a bootable address.

2013-09-11firmware/dmi_scan: drop OOM messagesJean Delvare
As reported by Joe Perches: OOM messages generally aren't useful. dmi_alloc is either a trivial front-end to kzalloc, and kzalloc already does a dump_stack() when OOM, or for x86, dmi_alloc uses extend_brk which BUGs when unsuccessful. So we can remove all 6 such log messages in the dmi_scan driver, to shrink the binary size (by 528 bytes on x86_64.)

Header size is needed to distinguish between header and the dump data. Incorporate the addition of new argument (hsize) in the pstore write callback.

2013-06-28efivars: If pstore_register fails, free unneeded pstore bufferLenny Szubowicz
This is patch 3/3 of a patch set that cleans up pstore_register failure paths. If efivars fails to register with pstore, there is no point to keeping the 4 KB buffer around. It's only used by the pstore read/write routines.

2013-05-13efivar: fix oops in efivar_update_sysfs_entries() caused by memory reuseSeiji Aguchi
The loop in efivar_update_sysfs_entries() reuses the same allocation for entries each time it calls efivar_create_sysfs_entry(entry). This is wrong because efivar_create_sysfs_entry() expects to keep the memory it was passed, so the caller may not free it (and may not pass the same memory in multiple times). This leads to the oops below. Fix by getting a new allocation each time we go around the loop. ---[ end trace ba4907d5c519d111 ]--- BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff8142f81f>] efivar_entry_find+0x14f/0x2d0 PGD 0 Oops: 0000 [#2] SMP Modules linked in: oops(OF+) ebtable_nat ebtables xt_CHECKSUM [...] CPU: 0 PID: 301 Comm: kworker/0:2 Tainted: GF D O 3.9.0+ #1 Hardware name: LENOVO 4291EV7/4291EV7, BIOS 8DET52WW (1.22 ) 09/15/2011 Workqueue: events efivar_update_sysfs_entries task: ffff8801955920c0 ti: ffff88019413e000 task.ti: ffff88019413e000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8142f81f>] [<ffffffff8142f81f>] efivar_entry_find+0x14f/0x2d0 RSP: 0018:ffff88019413fa48 EFLAGS: 00010006 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff880195d87c00 RCX: ffffffff81ab6f60 RDX: ffff88019413fb88 RSI: 0000000000000400 RDI: ffff880196254000 RBP: ffff88019413fbd8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffff8800dad99037 R10: ffff880195d87c00 R11: 0000000000000430 R12: ffffffff81ab6f60 R13: fffffffffffff7d8 R14: ffff880196254000 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88019e200000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000001a0b000 CR4: 00000000000407f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Stack: ffff88019413fb78 ffff88019413fb88 ffffffff81e85d60 03000000972b5c00 ffff88019413fa29 ffffffff81e85d60 ffff88019413fbfb 0000000197087280 00000000000000fe 0000000000000001 ffffffff81e85dd9 ffff880197087280 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81254371>] ? idr_get_empty_slot+0x131/0x240 [<ffffffff8125b6d2>] ? put_dec+0x72/0x90 [<ffffffff81158e40>] ? cache_alloc_refill+0x170/0x2f0 [<ffffffff81430420>] efivar_update_sysfs_entry+0x150/0x220 [<ffffffff8103dd29>] ? efi_call2+0x9/0x70 [<ffffffff8103d787>] ? virt_efi_get_next_variable+0x47/0x1b0 [<ffffffff8115a8df>] ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x1af/0x1c0 [<ffffffff81430033>] efivar_init+0x2c3/0x380 [<ffffffff814302d0>] ? efivar_delete+0xd0/0xd0 [<ffffffff8143111f>] efivar_update_sysfs_entries+0x6f/0x90 [<ffffffff810605f3>] process_one_work+0x183/0x490 [<ffffffff81061780>] worker_thread+0x120/0x3a0 [<ffffffff81061660>] ? manage_workers+0x160/0x160 [<ffffffff8106752e>] kthread+0xce/0xe0 [<ffffffff81067460>] ? kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x70/0x70 [<ffffffff81543c5c>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [<ffffffff81067460>] ? kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x70/0x70 Code: 8d 55 b0 48 8d 45 a0 49 81 ed 28 08 00 00 48 89 95 78 fe [...] RIP [<ffffffff8142f81f>] efivar_entry_find+0x14f/0x2d0 RSP <ffff88019413fa48> CR2: 0000000000000000 ---[ end trace ba4907d5c519d112 ]--- Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Cc: Tomoki Sekiyama <tomoki.sekiyama@hds.com> Signed-off-by: Seiji Aguchi <seiji.aguchi@hds.com> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
