* x86: efi: Add EFI loader support for x86Simon Glass2016-10-19-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the required pieces to support the EFI loader on x86. Since U-Boot only builds for 32-bit on x86, only a 32-bit EFI application is supported. If a 64-bit kernel must be booted, U-Boot supports this directly using FIT (see doc/uImage.FIT/kernel.its). U-Boot can act as a payload for both 32-bit and 64-bit EFI.

* efi_loader: Allow boards to implement get_time and reset_systemAlexander Graf2016-10-18-11/+91
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EFI allows an OS to leverage firmware drivers while the OS is running. In the generic code we so far had to stub those implementations out, because we would need board specific knowledge about MMIO setups for it. However, boards can easily implement those themselves. This patch provides the framework so that a board can implement its own versions of get_time and reset_system which would actually do something useful. While at it we also introduce a simple way for code to reserve MMIO pointers as runtime available. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

* efi_loader: Readd freed pages to memory poolStefan Brüns2016-10-18-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently each allocation creates a new mapping. Readding the mapping as free memory (EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY) potentially allows to hand out an existing mapping, thus limiting the number of mapping descriptors in the memory map. Mitigates a problem with current (4.8rc7) linux kernels when doing an efi_get_memory map, resulting in an infinite loop. Space for the memory map is reserved with allocate_pool (implicitly creating a new mapping) and filled. If there is insufficient slack space (8 entries) in the map, the space is freed and a new round is started, with space for one more entry. As each round increases requirement and allocation by exactly one, there is never enough slack space. (At least 32 entries are allocated, so as long as there are less than 24 entries, there is enough slack). Earlier kernels reserved no slack, and did less allocations, so this problem was not visible.

* efi_loader: Track size of pool allocations to allow freeingStefan Brüns2016-10-18-6/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need a functional free_pool implementation, as otherwise each allocate_pool causes growth of the memory descriptor table. Different to free_pages, free_pool does not provide the size for the to be freed allocation, thus we have to track the size ourselves. As the only EFI requirement for pool allocation is an alignment of 8 bytes, we can keep allocating a range using the page allocator, reserve the first 8 bytes for our bookkeeping and hand out the remainder to the caller. This saves us from having to use any independent data structures for tracking. To simplify the conversion between pool allocations and the corresponding page allocation, we create an auxiliary struct efi_pool_allocation. Given the allocation size free_pool size can handoff freeing the page range, which was indirectly allocated by a call to allocate_pool, to free_pages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently handle efi_allocate_pool() in our boot time service file. In the following patch, pool allocation will receive additional internal semantics that we should preserve inside efi_memory.c instead. As foundation for those changes, split the function into an externally facing efi_allocate_pool_ext() for use by payloads and an internal helper efi_allocate_pool() in efi_memory.c that handles the actual allocation. While at it, change the magic 0xfff / 12 constants to the more obvious EFI_PAGE_MASK/SHIFT defines.

* efi_loader: Fix crash on 32-bit systemsRobin Randhawa2016-10-18-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A type mismatch in the efi_allocate_pool boot service flow causes hazardous memory scribbling on 32-bit systems. This is efi_allocate_pool's prototype: static efi_status_t EFIAPI efi_allocate_pool(int pool_type, unsigned long size, void **buffer); Internally, it invokes efi_allocate_pages as follows: efi_allocate_pages(0, pool_type, (size + 0xfff) >> 12, (void*)buffer); This is efi_allocate_pages' prototype: efi_status_t efi_allocate_pages(int type, int memory_type, unsigned long pages, uint64_t *memory); The problem: efi_allocate_pages does this internally: *memory = addr; This fix in efi_allocate_pool uses a transitional uintptr_t cast to ensure the correct outcome, irrespective of the system's native word size. This was observed when bootefi'ing the EFI instance of FreeBSD's first stage bootstrap (boot1.efi) on a 32-bit ARM platform (Qemu VExpress + Cortex-a9).

* efi_loader: Fix memory map size check to avoid out-of-bounds accessStefan Brüns2016-10-18-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current efi_get_memory_map() function overwrites the map_size property before reading its value. That way the sanity check whether our memory map fits into the given array always succeeds, potentially overwriting arbitrary payload memory. This patch moves the property update write after its sanity check, so that the check actually verifies the correct value. So far this has not triggered any known bugs, but we're better off safe than sorry. If the buffer is to small, the returned memory_map_size indicates the required size to the caller.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The device tree overlays are a good way to deal with user-modifyable boards or boards with some kind of an expansion mechanism where we can easily plug new board in (like the BBB or the raspberry pi). However, so far, the usual mechanism to deal with it was to have in Linux some driver detecting the expansion boards plugged in and then request these overlays using the firmware interface. That works in most cases, but in some cases, you might want to have the overlays applied before the userspace comes in. Either because the new board requires some kind of an early initialization, or because your root filesystem is accessed through that expansion board. The easiest solution in such a case is to simply have the component before Linux applying that overlay, removing all these drawbacks.
