      Revert "efi/x86: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>" · 84be8805
      Matt Fleming authored 
      This reverts commit f23cf8bd ("efi/x86: efistub: Move shared
dependencies to <asm/efi.h>") as well as the x86 parts of commit
f4f75ad5 ("efi: efistub: Convert into static library").

The road leading to these two reverts is long and winding.

The above two commits were merged during the v3.17 merge window and
turned the common EFI boot stub code into a static library. This
necessitated making some symbols global in the x86 boot stub which
introduced new entries into the early boot GOT.

The problem was that we weren't fixing up the newly created GOT entries
before invoking the EFI boot stub, which sometimes resulted in hangs or
resets. This failure was reported by Maarten on his Macbook pro.

The proposed fix was commit 9cb0e394 ("x86/efi: Fixup GOT in all
boot code paths"). However, that caused issues for Linus when booting
his Sony Vaio Pro 11. It was subsequently reverted in commit
f3670394.

So that leaves us back with Maarten's Macbook pro not booting.

At this stage in the release cycle the least risky option is to revert
the x86 EFI boot stub to the pre-merge window code structure where we
explicitly #include efi-stub-helper.c instead of linking with the static
library. The arm64 code remains unaffected.

We can take another swing at the x86 parts for v3.18.

Quote reply from Lv.zheng about the early ioremap slot usage in this case:

"""
In early_efi_scroll_up(), 2 mapping entries will be used for the src/dst screen buffer.
In drivers/acpi/acpica/tbutils.c, we've improved the early table loading code in acpi_tb_parse_root_table().
We now need 2 mapping entries:
1. One mapping entry is used for RSDT table mapping. Each RSDT entry contains an address for another ACPI table.
2. For each entry in RSDP, we need another mapping entry to map the table to perform necessary check/override before installing it.

When acpi_tb_parse_root_table() prints something through EFI earlyprintk console, we'll have 4 mapping entries used.
The current 4 slots setting of early_ioremap() seems to be too small for such a use case.
"""

Thus increase the slot to 8 in this patch to fix this issue.
boot-time mappings become 512 page with this patch.

      efi/arm64: Fix fdt-related memory reservation · 0ceac9e0
      Mark Salter authored 
      Commit 86c8b27a:
 "arm64: ignore DT memreserve entries when booting in UEFI mode

prevents early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() from being called for
arm64 kernels booting via UEFI. This was done because the kernel
will use the UEFI memory map to determine reserved memory regions.
That approach has problems in that early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem()
also reserves the FDT itself and any node-specific reserved memory.
By chance of some kernel configs, the FDT may be overwritten before
it can be unflattened and the kernel will fail to boot. More subtle
problems will result if the FDT has node specific reserved memory
which is not really reserved.

This patch has the UEFI stub remove the memory reserve map entries
from the FDT as it does with the memory nodes. This allows
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() to be called unconditionally
so that the other needed reservations are made.

      x86/efi: Fixup GOT in all boot code paths · 9cb0e394
      Matt Fleming authored 
      Maarten reported that his Macbook pro 8.2 stopped booting after commit
f23cf8bd ("efi/x86: efistub: Move shared dependencies to
<asm/efi.h>"), the main feature of which is changing the visibility of
symbol 'efi_early' from local to global.

By making 'efi_early' global we end up requiring an entry in the Global
Offset Table. Unfortunately, while we do include code to fixup GOT
entries in the early boot code, it's only called after we've executed
the EFI boot stub.

What this amounts to is that references to 'efi_early' in the EFI boot
stub don't point to the correct place.

Since we've got multiple boot entry points we need to be prepared to
fixup the GOT in multiple places, while ensuring that we never do it
more than once, otherwise the GOT entries will still point to the wrong
place.

      x86/efi: Only load initrd above 4g on second try · 47226ad4
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      Mantas found that after commit 4bf7111f ("x86/efi: Support initrd
loaded above 4G"), the kernel freezes at the earliest possible moment
when trying to boot via UEFI on Asus laptop.

Revert to old way to load initrd under 4G on first try, second try will
use above 4G buffer when initrd is too big and does not fit under 4G.

[ The cause of the freeze appears to be a firmware bug when reading
  file data into buffers above 4GB, though the exact reason is unknown.
  Mantas reports that the hang can be avoid if the file size is a
  multiple of 512 bytes, but I've seen some ASUS firmware simply
  corrupting the file data rather than freezing.

  Laszlo fixed an issue in the upstream EDK2 DiskIO code in Aug 2013
  which may possibly be related, commit 4e39b75e ("MdeModulePkg/DiskIoDxe:
  fix source/destination pointer of overrun transfer").

  Whatever the cause, it's unlikely that a fix will be forthcoming
  from the vendor, hence the workaround - Matt ]

Pull fix for ftrace function tracer/profiler conflict from Steven Rostedt:
 "The rewrite of the ftrace code that makes it possible to allow for
  separate trampolines had a design flaw with the interaction between
  the function and function_graph tracers.

  The main flaw was the simplification of the use of multiple tracers
  having the same filter (like function and function_graph, that use the
  set_ftrace_filter file to filter their code).  The design assumed that
  the two tracers could never run simultaneously as only one tracer can
  be used at a time.  The problem with this assumption was that the
  function profiler could be implemented on top of the function graph
  tracer, and the function profiler could run at the same time as the
  function tracer.  This caused the assumption to be broken and when
  ftrace detected this failed assumpiton it would spit out a nasty
  warning and shut itself down.

  Instead of using a single ftrace_ops that switches between the
  function and function_graph callbacks, the two tracers can again use
  their own ftrace_ops.  But instead of having a complex hierarchy of
  ftrace_ops, the filter fields are placed in its own structure and the
  ftrace_ops can carefully use the same filter.  This change took a bit
  to be able to allow for this and currently only the global_ops can
  share the same filter, but this new design can easily be modified to
  allow for any ftrace_ops to share its filter with another ftrace_ops.

  The first four patches deal with the change of allowing the ftrace_ops
  to share the filter (and this needs to go to 3.16 as well).

  The fifth patch fixes a bug that was also caused by the new changes
  but only for archs other than x86, and only if those archs implement a
  direct call to the function_graph tracer which they do not do yet but
  will in the future.  It does not need to go to stable, but needs to be
  fixed before the other archs update their code to allow direct calls
  to the function_graph trampoline"

      ftrace: Use current addr when converting to nop in __ftrace_replace_code() · 39b5552c
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      In __ftrace_replace_code(), when converting the call to a nop in a function
it needs to compare against the "curr" (current) value of the ftrace ops, and
not the "new" one. It currently does not affect x86 which is the only arch
to do the trampolines with function graph tracer, but when other archs that do
depend on this code implement the function graph trampoline, it can crash.

Here's an example when ARM uses the trampolines (in the future):

      ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer together · 5f151b24
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      The latest rewrite of ftrace removed the separate ftrace_ops of
the function tracer and the function graph tracer and had them
share the same ftrace_ops. This simplified the accounting by removing
the multiple layers of functions called, where the global_ops func
would call a special list that would iterate over the other ops that
were registered within it (like function and function graph), which
itself was registered to the ftrace ops list of all functions
currently active. If that sounds confusing, the code that implemented
it was also confusing and its removal is a good thing.

The problem with this change was that it assumed that the function
and function graph tracer can never be used at the same time.
This is mostly true, but there is an exception. That is when the
function profiler uses the function graph tracer to profile.
The function profiler can be activated the same time as the function
tracer, and this breaks the assumption and the result is that ftrace
will crash (it detects the error and shuts itself down, it does not
cause a kernel oops).

To solve this issue, a previous change allowed the hash tables
for the functions traced by a ftrace_ops to be a pointer and let
multiple ftrace_ops share the same hash. This allows the function
and function_graph tracer to have separate ftrace_ops, but still
share the hash, which is what is done.

Now the function and function graph tracers have separate ftrace_ops
again, and the function tracer can be run while the function_profile
is active.
