git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi into x86/efi Pull EFI updates from Matt Fleming: " - Move efivarfs from the misc filesystem section to pseudo filesystem, since that's a more logical and accurate place - Leif Lindholm - Update efibootmgr URL in Kconfig help - Peter Jones - Improve accuracy of EFI guid function names - Borislav Petkov - Expose firmware platform size in sysfs for the benefit of EFI boot loader installers and other utilities - Steve McIntyre - Cleanup __init annotations for arm64/efi code - Ard Biesheuvel - Mark the UIE as unsupported for rtc-efi - Ard Biesheuvel - Fix memory leak in error code path of runtime map code - Dan Carpenter - Improve robustness of get_memory_map() by removing assumptions on the size of efi_memory_desc_t (which could change in future spec versions) and querying the firmware instead of guessing about the memmap size - Ard Biesheuvel - Remove superfluous guid unparse calls - Ivan Khoronzhuk - Delete unnecessary chosen@0 DT node FDT code since was duplicated from code in drivers/of and is entirely unnecessary - Leif Lindholm There's nothing super scary, mainly cleanups, and a merge from Ricardo who kindly picked up some patches from the linux-efi mailing list while I was out on annual leave in December. Perhaps the biggest risk is the get_memory_map() change from Ard, which changes the way that both the arm64 and x86 EFI boot stub build the early memory map. It would be good to have it bake in linux-next for a while. " Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2015-01-05fs: Make efivarfs a pseudo filesystem, built by default with EFILeif Lindholm
efivars is currently enabled under MISC_FILESYSTEMS, which is decribed as "such as filesystems that came from other operating systems". In reality, it is a pseudo filesystem, providing access to the kernel UEFI variable interface. Since this is the preferred interface for accessing UEFI variables, over the legacy efivars interface, also build it by default as a module if CONFIG_EFI.

Stuff in this one: - unification of d_splice_alias()/d_materialize_unique() - iov_iter rewrite - killing a bunch of ->f_path.dentry users (and f_dentry macro). Getting that completed will make life much simpler for unionmount/overlayfs, since then we'll be able to limit the places sensitive to file _dentry_ to reasonably few. Which allows to have file_inode(file) pointing to inode in a covered layer, with dentry pointing to (negative) dentry in union one.

2014-11-11efivarfs: Allow unloading when build as moduleMathias Krause
There is no need to keep the module loaded when it serves no function in case the EFI runtime services are disabled. Return an error in this case so loading the module will fail. Also supply a module_exit function to allow unloading the module. Last, but not least, set the owner of the file_system_type struct.

2013-06-29Don't pass inode to ->d_hash() and ->d_compare()Linus Torvalds
Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry->d_sb). A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode - the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply treated as cache miss.

2013-05-13efivarfs: Never return ENOENT from firmware againLingzhu Xiang
Previously in 1fa7e69 efi_status_to_err() translated firmware status EFI_NOT_FOUND to -EIO instead of -ENOENT for efivarfs operations to avoid confusion. After refactoring in e14ab23, it is also used in other places where the translation may be unnecessary. So move the translation to efivarfs specific code. Also return EOF for reading zero-length files, which is what users would expect.

2013-04-17efi: split efisubsystem from efivarsTom Gundersen
This registers /sys/firmware/efi/{,systab,efivars/} whenever EFI is enabled and the system is booted with EFI. This allows *) userspace to check for the existence of /sys/firmware/efi as a way to determine whether or it is running on an EFI system. *) 'mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars' without manually loading any modules. [ Also, move the efivar API into vars.c and unconditionally compile it. This allows us to move efivars.c, which now only contains the sysfs variable code, into the firmware/efi directory. Note that the efivars.c filename is kept to maintain backwards compatability with the old efivars.ko module. With this patch it is now possible for efivarfs to be built without CONFIG_EFI_VARS - Matt ] Cc: Seiji Aguchi <seiji.aguchi@hds.com> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Cc: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org> Cc: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org> Cc: Chun-Yi Lee <jlee@suse.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Cc: Tobias Powalowski <tpowa@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
2013-04-17efivarfs: Move to fs/efivarfsMatt Fleming
Now that efivarfs uses the efivar API, move it out of efivars.c and into fs/efivarfs where it belongs. This move will eventually allow us to enable the efivarfs code without having to also enable CONFIG_EFI_VARS built, and vice versa. Furthermore, things like, mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will now work if efivarfs is built as a module without requiring the use of MODULE_ALIAS(), which would have been necessary when the efivarfs code was part of efivars.c.
