Pull x86 EFI changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes:
- Add support for earlyprintk=efi which uses the EFI framebuffer.
Very useful for debugging boot problems.
- EFI stub support for large memory maps (more than 128 entries)
- EFI ARM support - this was mostly done by generalizing x86 <-> ARM
platform differences, such as by moving x86 EFI code into
drivers/firmware/efi/ and sharing it with ARM.
- Documentation updates
- misc fixes"

efi: Enforce minimum alignment of 1 page on allocations.
efi: Rename memory allocation/free functions
efi: Add system table pointer argument to shared functions.

...
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.
Since CPER is defined in the UEFI specification - the logical home for
this code is under drivers/firmware/efi/

This driver doesn't need to directly access DMA masks if it uses the
platform_device_register_full() API rather than
platform_device_register_simple() - the former function can initialize
the DMA mask appropriately.
Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
dcdbas was explicitly initializing DMA masks thusly:
dcdbas_pdev->dev.coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32);
dcdbas_pdev->dev.dma_mask = &dcdbas_pdev->dev.coherent_dma_mask;
which bypasses the architecture check. Moreover, it is creating the
dcdbas_pdev device itself, and using the platform_device_register_full()
avoids some of this explicit initialization.
Convert the driver to use platform_device_register_full(), and as it
makes use of coherent DMA, also call dma_set_coherent_mask() to ensure
that the architecture gets to check the mask.

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.)

x86 and ia64 can acquire extra hardware identification information
from DMI and print it along with task dumps; however, the usage isn't
consistent.
* x86 show_regs() collects vendor, product and board strings and print
them out with PID, comm and utsname. Some of the information is
printed again later in the same dump.
* warn_slowpath_common() explicitly accesses the DMI board and prints
it out with "Hardware name:" label. This applies to both x86 and
ia64 but is irrelevant on all other archs.
* ia64 doesn't show DMI information on other non-WARN dumps.
This patch introduces arch-specific hardware description used by
dump_stack(). It can be set by calling dump_stack_set_arch_desc()
during boot and, if exists, printed out in a separate line with
"Hardware name:" label.
dmi_set_dump_stack_arch_desc() is added which sets arch-specific
description from DMI data. It uses dmi_ids_string[] which is set from
dmi_present() used for DMI debug message. It is superset of the
information x86 show_regs() is using. The function is called from x86
and ia64 boot code right after dmi_scan_machine().
This makes the explicit DMI handling in warn_slowpath_common()
unnecessary. Removed.
show_regs() isn't yet converted to use generic debug information
printing and this patch doesn't remove the duplicate DMI handling in
x86 show_regs(). The next patch will unify show_regs() handling and
remove the duplication.
An example WARN dump follows.

When hot removing memory, a firmware_map_entry which has memory range of
the memory is released by release_firmware_map_entry(). If the entry is
allocated by bootmem, release_firmware_map_entry() adds the entry to
map_entires_bootmem list when firmware_map_find_entry() finds the entry
from map_entries list. But firmware_map_find_entry never find the entry
sicne map_entires list does not have the entry. So the entry just
leaks.
Here are steps of leaking firmware_map_entry:
firmware_map_remove()
-> firmware_map_find_entry()
Find released entry from map_entries list
-> firmware_map_remove_entry()
Delete the entry from map_entries list
-> remove_sysfs_fw_map_entry()
...
-> release_firmware_map_entry()
-> firmware_map_find_entry()
Find the entry from map_entries list but the entry has been
deleted from map_entries list. So the entry is not added
to map_entries_bootmem. Thus the entry leaks
release_firmware_map_entry() should not call firmware_map_find_entry()
since releaed entry has been deleted from map_entries list. So the
patch delete firmware_map_find_entry() from releae_firmware_map_entry()

therefore, a different variable list. Fix the above crash by passing

There isn't really a formal interface for dealing with EFI variables
or struct efivar_entry. Historically, this has led to various bits of
code directly accessing the generic EFI variable ops, which inherently
ties it to specific EFI variable operations instead of indirectly
using whatever ops were registered with register_efivars(). This lead
to the efivarfs code only working with the generic EFI variable ops
and not CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI.
Encapsulate everything that needs to access '__efivars' inside an
efivar_entry_* API and use the new API in the pstore, sysfs and
efivarfs code.
Much of the efivars code had to be rewritten to use this new API. For
instance, it is now up to the users of the API to build the initial
list of EFI variables in their efivar_init() callback function. The
variable list needs to be passed to efivar_init() which allows us to
keep work arounds for things like implementation bugs in
GetNextVariable() in a central location.
Allowing users of the API to use a callback function to build the list
greatly benefits the efivarfs code which needs to allocate inodes and
dentries for every variable. It previously did this in a racy way
because the code ran without holding the variable spinlock. Both the
sysfs and efivarfs code maintain their own lists which means the two
interfaces can be running simultaneously without interference, though
it should be noted that because no synchronisation is performed it is
very easy to create inconsistencies. efibootmgr doesn't currently use
efivarfs and users are likely to also require the old sysfs interface,
so it makes sense to allow both to be built.

Some machines have an EFI variable interface that does not conform to
the UEFI specification, e.g. CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI. Add the necessary code
so that it's only possible to use one implementation of EFI variable
operations at runtime. This allows us to keep a single (file-scope)
global pointer 'struct efivars', which simplifies access. This will
hopefully dissuade developers from accessing the generic operations
struct directly in the future, as was done in the efivarfs and pstore
code, thereby allowing future code to work with both the generic efivar
ops and the google SMI ops.
This may seem like a step backwards in terms of modularity, but we don't
need to track more than one 'struct efivars' at one time. There is no
synchronisation done between multiple EFI variable operations, and
according to Mike no one is using both the generic EFI var ops and
CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI simultaneously, though a single kernel build _does_
need to able to support both. It also helps to clearly highlight which
functions form the core of the efivars interface - those that require
access to __efivars.

There's not much we can do to work around and keep traversing the
variable list once we hit this firmware bug. Our only solution is to
terminate the loop because, as Lingzhu reports, some machines get
stuck when they encounter duplicate names,
> I had an IBM System x3100 M4 and x3850 X5 on which kernel would
> get stuck in infinite loop creating duplicate sysfs files because,
> for some reason, there are several duplicate boot entries in nvram
> getting GetNextVariableName into a circle of iteration (with
> period > 2).
Also disable the workqueue, as efivar_update_sysfs_entries() uses
GetNextVariableName() to figure out which variables have been created
since the last iteration. That algorithm isn't going to work if
GetNextVariableName() returns duplicates. Note that we don't disable
EFI variable creation completely on the affected machines, it's just
that any pstore dump-* files won't appear in sysfs until the next
boot.

It's not wise to assume VariableNameSize represents the length of
VariableName, as not all firmware updates VariableNameSize in the same
way (some don't update it at all if EFI_SUCCESS is returned). There
are even implementations out there that update VariableNameSize with
values that are both larger than the string returned in VariableName
and smaller than the buffer passed to GetNextVariableName(), which
resulted in the following bug report from Michael Schroeder,
> On HP z220 system (firmware version 1.54), some EFI variables are
> incorrectly named :
>
> ls -d /sys/firmware/efi/vars/*8be4d* | grep -v -- -8be returns

The issue here is that because we blindly use VariableNameSize without
verifying its value, we can potentially read garbage values from the
buffer containing VariableName if VariableNameSize is larger than the
length of VariableName.
Since VariableName is a string, we can calculate its size by searching
for the terminating NULL character.

We know that with some firmware implementations writing too much data to
UEFI variables can lead to bricking machines. Recent changes attempt to
address this issue, but for some it may still be prudent to avoid
writing large amounts of data until the solution has been proven on a
wide variety of hardware.
Crash dumps or other data from pstore can potentially be a large data
source. Add a pstore_module parameter to efivars to allow disabling its
use as a backend for pstore. Also add a config option,
CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE, to allow setting the default
value of this paramter to true (i.e. disabled by default).

Stricter validation was introduced with commit da27a24383
("efivarfs: guid part of filenames are case-insensitive") and commit
47f531e8ba ("efivarfs: Validate filenames much more aggressively"),
which is necessary for the guid portion of efivarfs filenames, but we
don't need to be so strict with the first part, the variable name. The
UEFI specification doesn't impose any constraints on variable names
other than they be a NULL-terminated string.
The above commits caused a regression that resulted in users seeing
the following message,
$ sudo mount -v /sys/firmware/efi/efivars mount: Cannot allocate memory
whenever pstore EFI variables were present in the variable store,
since their variable names failed to pass the following check,
/* GUID should be right after the first '-' */
if (s - 1 != strchr(str, '-'))
as a typical pstore filename is of the form, dump-type0-10-1-<guid>.
The fix is trivial since the guid portion of the filename is GUID_LEN
bytes, we can use (len - GUID_LEN) to ensure the '-' character is
where we expect it to be.
(The bogus ENOMEM error value will be fixed in a separate patch.)

UEFI variables are typically stored in flash. For various reasons, avaiable
space is typically not reclaimed immediately upon the deletion of a
variable - instead, the system will garbage collect during initialisation
after a reboot.
Some systems appear to handle this garbage collection extremely poorly,
failing if more than 50% of the system flash is in use. This can result in
the machine refusing to boot. The safest thing to do for the moment is to
forbid writes if they'd end up using more than half of the storage space.
We can make this more finegrained later if we come up with a method for
identifying the broken machines.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.
A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.
Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.
This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

x86, efi: Allow slash in file path of initrd
When (hot)adding memory into system, /sys/firmware/memmap/X/{end, start,
type} sysfs files are created. But there is no code to remove these
files. This patch implements the function to remove them.
We cannot free firmware_map_entry which is allocated by bootmem because
there is no way to do so when the system is up. But we can at least
remember the address of that memory and reuse the storage when the
memory is added next time.
This patch also introduces a new list map_entries_bootmem to link the
map entries allocated by bootmem when they are removed, and a lock to
protect it. And these entries will be reused when the memory is
hot-added again.
The idea is suggestted by Andrew Morton.
NOTE: It is unsafe to return an entry pointer and release the
map_entries_lock. So we should not hold the map_entries_lock
separately in firmware_map_find_entry() and
firmware_map_remove_entry(). Hold the map_entries_lock across find
and remove /sys/firmware/memmap/X operation.
And also, users of these two functions need to be careful to
hold the lock when using these two functions.

efi_pstore: Avoid deadlock in non-blocking paths

[Problem]
efi_pstore creates sysfs entries, which enable users to access to NVRAM,
in a write callback. If a kernel panic happens in an interrupt context,
it may fail because it could sleep due to dynamic memory allocations during
creating sysfs entries.
[Patch Description]
This patch removes sysfs operations from a write callback by introducing
a workqueue updating sysfs entries which is scheduled after the write
callback is called.
Also, the workqueue is kicked in a just oops case.
A system will go down in other cases such as panic, clean shutdown and emergency
restart. And we don't need to create sysfs entries because there is no chance for
users to access to them.
efi_pstore will be robust against a kernel panic in an interrupt context with this patch.

[Problem]
There is a scenario which efi_pstore fails to log messages in a panic case.
- CPUA holds an efi_var->lock in either efivarfs parts
or efi_pstore with interrupt enabled.
- CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop().
- CPUA stops with holding the lock.
- CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC)
but it returns without logging messages.
[Patch Description]
This patch disables an external interruption while holding efivars->lock
as follows.
In efi_pstore_write() and get_var_data(), spin_lock/spin_unlock is
replaced by spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore because they may
be called in an interrupt context.
In other functions, they are replaced by spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq.
because they are all called from a process context.
By applying this patch, we can avoid the problem above with
a following senario.
- CPUA holds an efi_var->lock with interrupt disabled.
- CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop().
- CPUA receives the IPI after releasing the lock because it is
disabling interrupt while holding the lock.
- CPUB waits for one sec until CPUA releases the lock.
- CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC)
And it can hold the lock successfully.

since the guid will be converted into a binary representation, which
has no case.
Roll our own dentry operations so that we can treat the variable name
part of filenames ("VarName" in the above example) as case-sensitive,
but the guid portion as case-insensitive. That way, efivarfs will
refuse to create the above files if any one already exists.

The only thing that efivarfs does to enforce a valid filename is
ensure that the name isn't too short. We need to strongly sanitise any
filenames, not least because variable creation is delayed until
efivarfs_file_write(), which means we can't rely on the firmware to
inform us of an invalid name, because if the file is never written to
we'll never know it's invalid.
Perform a couple of steps before agreeing to create a new file,
* hex_to_bin() returns a value indicating whether or not it was able
to convert its arguments to a binary representation - we should
check it.
* Ensure that the GUID portion of the filename is the correct length
and format.
* The variable name portion of the filename needs to be at least one
character in size.

efivarfs: Delete dentry from dcache in efivarfs_file_write()
efivarfs: Never return ENOENT from firmware
efi, x86: Pass a proper identity mapping in efi_call_phys_prelog
efivarfs: Drop link count of the right inode
Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.
The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
bricked. Also, the following report,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,
if (!efi_enabled)
hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.
Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
facilities.
For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).
This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

Files are created in efivarfs_create() before a corresponding variable
is created in the firmware. This leads to users being able to
read/write to the file without the variable existing in the
firmware. Reading a non-existent variable currently returns -ENOENT,
which is confusing because the file obviously *does* exist.
Convert EFI_NOT_FOUND into -EIO which is the closest thing to "error
while interacting with firmware", and should hopefully indicate to the
caller that the variable is in some uninitialised state.

efivarfs_unlink() should drop the file's link count, not the directory's.

[Issue]
There is a scenario which efi_pstore may hang up:
- cpuA grabs efivars->lock
- cpuB panics and calls smp_send_stop
- smp_send_stop sends IRQ to cpuA
- after 1 second, cpuB gives up on cpuA and sends an NMI instead
- cpuA is now in an NMI handler while still holding efivars->lock
- cpuB is deadlocked
This case may happen if a firmware has a bug and
cpuA is stuck talking with it.
[Solution]
This patch changes a spin_lock to a spin_trylock in non-blocking paths.
and if the spin_lock has already taken by another cpu,
it returns without accessing to a firmware to avoid the deadlock.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.
This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.
Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

The right dmi version is in SMBIOS if it's zero in DMI region
This issue was originally found from an oracle bug.
One customer noticed system UUID doesn't match between dmidecode & uek2.
- HP ProLiant BL460c G6 :
# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid
00000000-0000-4C48-3031-4D5030333531
# dmidecode | grep -i uuid
UUID: 00000000-0000-484C-3031-4D5030333531
From SMBIOS 2.6 on, spec use little-endian encoding for UUID other than
network byte order.
So we need to get dmi version to distinguish. If version is 0.0, the
real version is taken from the SMBIOS version. This is part of original
kernel comment in code.

As of version 2.6 of the SMBIOS specification, the first 3 fields of the
UUID are supposed to be little-endian encoded.
Also a minor fix to match variable meaning and mute checkpatch.pl

When compiling efivars.c the build fails with:
CC drivers/firmware/efivars.o
drivers/firmware/efivars.c: In function ‘efivarfs_get_inode’:

Fix the build error by removing the duplicate initialization of i_uid and
i_gid inode_init_always has already initialized them to 0.
