Ard Biesheuvel 8a254d90a7 efi: efivars: Fix variable writes without query_variable_store()
Commit bbc6d2c6ef ("efi: vars: Switch to new wrapper layer")
refactored the efivars layer so that the 'business logic' related to
which UEFI variables affect the boot flow in which way could be moved
out of it, and into the efivarfs driver.

This inadvertently broke setting variables on firmware implementations
that lack the QueryVariableInfo() boot service, because we no longer
tolerate a EFI_UNSUPPORTED result from check_var_size() when calling
efivar_entry_set_get_size(), which now ends up calling check_var_size()
a second time inadvertently.

If QueryVariableInfo() is missing, we support writes of up to 64k -
let's move that logic into check_var_size(), and drop the redundant
call.

Ard Biesheuvel 2d82e6227e efi: vars: Move efivar caching layer into efivarfs
Move the fiddly bits of the efivar layer into its only remaining user,
efivarfs, and confine its use to that particular module. All other uses
of the EFI variable store have no need for this additional layer of
complexity, given that they either only read variables, or read and
write variables into a separate GUIDed namespace, and cannot be used to
manipulate EFI variables that are covered by the EFI spec and/or affect
the boot flow.

Ard Biesheuvel 3a75f9f2f9 efi: vars: Use locking version to iterate over efivars linked lists
Both efivars and efivarfs uses __efivar_entry_iter() to go over the
linked list that shadows the list of EFI variables held by the firmware,
but fail to call the begin/end helpers that are documented as a
prerequisite.

So switch to the proper version, which is efivar_entry_iter(). Given
that in both cases, efivar_entry_remove() is invoked with the lock held
already, don't take the lock there anymore.

Ard Biesheuvel ec3507b2ca efi: vars: Don't drop lock in the middle of efivar_init()
Even though the efivars_lock lock is documented as protecting the
efivars->ops pointer (among other things), efivar_init() happily
releases and reacquires the lock for every EFI variable that it
enumerates. This used to be needed because the lock was originally a
spinlock, which prevented the callback that is invoked for every
variable from being able to sleep. However, releasing the lock could
potentially invalidate the ops pointer, but more importantly, it might
allow a SetVariable() runtime service call to take place concurrently,
and the UEFI spec does not define how this affects an enumeration that
is running in parallel using the GetNextVariable() runtime service,
which is what efivar_init() uses.

In the meantime, the lock has been converted into a semaphore, and the
only reason we need to drop the lock is because the efivarfs pseudo
filesystem driver will otherwise deadlock when it invokes the efivars
API from the callback to create the efivar_entry items and insert them
into the linked list. (EFI pstore is affected in a similar way)

So let's switch to helpers that can be used while the lock is already
taken. This way, we can hold on to the lock throughout the enumeration.

fs: make helpers idmap mount aware
Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

inode: make init and permission helpers idmapped mount aware
The inode_owner_or_capable() helper determines whether the caller is the
owner of the inode or is capable with respect to that inode. Allow it to
handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped
mount it according to the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks
are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is
passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical
behavior as before.

Similarly, allow the inode_init_owner() helper to handle idmapped
mounts. It initializes a new inode on idmapped mounts by mapping the
fsuid and fsgid of the caller from the mount's user namespace. If the
initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts
will see identical behavior as before.

Ard Biesheuvel ff04f3b6f2 efivarfs: revert "fix memory leak in efivarfs_create()"
The memory leak addressed by commit fe5186cf12 is a false positive:
all allocations are recorded in a linked list, and freed when the
filesystem is unmounted. This leads to double frees, and as reported
by David, leads to crashes if SLUB is configured to self destruct when
double frees occur.

So drop the redundant kfree() again, and instead, mark the offending
pointer variable so the allocation is ignored by kmemleak.

Michael Schaller 336af6a468 efivarfs: Replace invalid slashes with exclamation marks in dentries.
Without this patch efivarfs_alloc_dentry creates dentries with slashes in
their name if the respective EFI variable has slashes in its name. This in
turn causes EIO on getdents64, which prevents a complete directory listing
of /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/.

This patch replaces the invalid shlashes with exclamation marks like
kobject_set_name_vargs does for /sys/firmware/efi/vars/ to have consistently
named dentries under /sys/firmware/efi/vars/ and /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/.

Ard Biesheuvel f88814cc25 efi/efivars: Expose RT service availability via efivars abstraction
Commit

  bf67fad19e ("efi: Use more granular check for availability for variable services")

introduced a check into the efivarfs, efi-pstore and other drivers that
aborts loading of the module if not all three variable runtime services
(GetVariable, SetVariable and GetNextVariable) are supported. However, this
results in efivarfs being unavailable entirely if only SetVariable support
is missing, which is only needed if you want to make any modifications.
Also, efi-pstore and the sysfs EFI variable interface could be backed by
another implementation of the 'efivars' abstraction, in which case it is
completely irrelevant which services are supported by the EFI firmware.

So make the generic 'efivars' abstraction dependent on the availibility of
the GetVariable and GetNextVariable EFI runtime services, and add a helper
'efivar_supports_writes()' to find out whether the currently active efivars
abstraction supports writes (and wire it up to the availability of
SetVariable for the generic one).

Then, use the efivar_supports_writes() helper to decide whether to permit
efivarfs to be mounted read-write, and whether to enable efi-pstore or the
sysfs EFI variable interface altogether.

This is quite surprising to the application, which probably

Luck, Tony bef3efbeb8 efivarfs: Limit the rate for non-root to read files
Each read from a file in efivarfs results in two calls to EFI
(one to get the file size, another to get the actual data).

On X86 these EFI calls result in broadcast system management
interrupts (SMI) which affect performance of the whole system.
A malicious user can loop performing reads from efivarfs bringing
the system to its knees.

Linus suggested per-user rate limit to solve this.

So we add a ratelimit structure to "user_struct" and initialize
it for the root user for no limit. When allocating user_struct for
other users we set the limit to 100 per second. This could be used
for other places that want to limit the rate of some detrimental
user action.

In efivarfs if the limit is exceeded when reading, we take an
interruptible nap for 50ms and check the rate limit again.

Deepa Dinamani 078cd8279e fs: Replace CURRENT_TIME with current_time() for inode timestamps
CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
Use current_time() instead.

CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.

This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.

Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they

Matt Fleming 22c2b77f41 fs/efivarfs: Fix double kfree() in error path
Julia reported that we may double free 'name' in efivarfs_callback(),
and that this bug was introduced by commit 0d22f33bc37c ("efi: Don't
use spinlocks for efi vars").

Move one of the kfree()s until after the point at which we know we are
definitely on the success path.

Sylvain Chouleur 21b3ddd39f efi: Don't use spinlocks for efi vars
All efivars operations are protected by a spinlock which prevents
interruptions and preemption. This is too restricted, we just need a
lock preventing concurrency.
The idea is to use a semaphore of count 1 and to have two ways of
locking, depending on the context:
- In interrupt context, we call down_trylock(), if it fails we return
  an error
- In normal context, we call down_interruptible()

We don't use a mutex here because the mutex_trylock() function must not
be called from interrupt context, whereas the down_trylock() can.

Linus Torvalds 8387ff2577 vfs: make the string hashes salt the hash
We always mixed in the parent pointer into the dentry name hash, but we
did it late at lookup time.  It turns out that we can simplify that
lookup-time action by salting the hash with the parent pointer early
instead of late.

A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own
pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism.

Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the
NULL pointer as a no-salt.

Kirill A. Shutemov 09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Peter Jones ed8b0de5a3 efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default
"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.
