Mike Lothian reports that after commit 964124a9 ("efi/x86: Remove extra headroom for setup block") gcc 10.1.0 fails with HOSTCC arch/x86/boot/tools/build /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: error: linker defined: multiple definition of '_end' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /tmp/ccEkW0jM.o: previous definition here collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host:103: arch/x86/boot/tools/build] Error 1 make: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:303: bzImage] Error 2 The issue is with the _end variable that was added, to hold the end of the compressed kernel from zoffsets.h (ZO__end). The name clashes with the linker-defined _end symbol that indicates the end of the build program itself. Even when there is no compile-time error, this causes build to use memory past the end of its .bss section. To solve this, mark _end as static, and for symmetry, mark the rest of the variables that keep track of symbols from the compressed kernel as static as well.

In allocate_e820(), call the EFI get_memory_map() service directly instead of indirectly via efi_get_memory_map(). This avoids allocation of a buffer and return of the full EFI memory map, which is not needed here and would otherwise need to be freed. Routine allocate_e820() only needs to know how many EFI memory descriptors there are in the map to allocate an adequately sized e820ext buffer, if it's needed. Note that since efi_get_memory_map() returns a memory map buffer sized with extra headroom, allocate_e820() now needs to explicitly factor that into the e820ext size calculation. Signed-off-by:

Commit 0a67361d ("efi/x86: Remove runtime table address from kexec EFI setup data") removed the code that retrieves the non-remapped UEFI runtime services pointer from the data structure provided by kexec, as it was never really needed on the kexec boot path: mapping the runtime services table at its non-remapped address is only needed when calling SetVirtualAddressMap(), which never happens during a kexec boot in the first place. However, dropping the 'runtime' member from struct efi_setup_data was a mistake. That struct is shared ABI between the kernel and the kexec tooling for x86, and so we cannot simply change its layout. So let's put back the removed field, but call it 'unused' to reflect the fact that we never look at its contents. While at it, add a comment to remind our future selves that the layout is external ABI. Fixes: 0a67361d ("efi/x86: Remove runtime table address from kexec EFI setup data") Reported-by:

Commit d9e3d2c4 ("efi/x86: Don't map the entire kernel text RW for mixed mode") updated the code that creates the 1:1 memory mapping to use read-only attributes for the 1:1 alias of the kernel's text and rodata sections, to protect it from inadvertent modification. However, it failed to take into account that the unused gap between text and rodata is given to the page allocator for general use. If the vmap'ed stack happens to be allocated from this region, any by-ref output arguments passed to EFI runtime services that are allocated on the stack (such as the 'datasize' argument taken by GetVariable() when invoked from efivar_entry_size()) will be referenced via a read-only mapping, resulting in a page fault if the EFI code tries to write to it: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000386aae88 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0003) - permissions violation PGD fd61063 P4D fd61063 PUD fd62063 PMD 386000e1 Oops: 0003 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 2 PID: 255 Comm: systemd-sysv-ge Not tainted 5.6.0-rc4-default+ #22 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 RIP: 0008:0x3eaeed95 Code: ... <89> 03 be 05 00 00 80 a1 74 63 b1 3e 83 c0 48 e8 44 d2 ff ff eb 05 RSP: 0018:000000000fd73fa0 EFLAGS: 00010002 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: 00000000386aae88 RCX: 000000003e9f1120 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000001 RBP: 000000000fd73fd8 R08: 00000000386aae88 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000002 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: ffffc0f040220000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 00007f21160ac940(0000) GS:ffff9cf23d500000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0008 DS: 0018 ES: 0018 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000386aae88 CR3: 000000000fd6c004 CR4: 00000000003606e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: Modules linked in: CR2: 00000000386aae88 ---[ end trace a8bfbd202e712834 ]--- Let's fix this by remapping text and rodata individually, and leave the gaps mapped read-write.

The EFI handover protocol was introduced on x86 to permit the boot loader to pass a populated boot_params structure as an additional function argument to the entry point. This allows the bootloader to pass the base and size of a initrd image, which is more flexible than relying on the EFI stub's file I/O routines, which can only access the file system from which the kernel image itself was loaded from firmware. This approach requires a fair amount of internal knowledge regarding the layout of the boot_params structure on the part of the boot loader, as well as knowledge regarding the allowed placement of the initrd in memory, and so it has been deprecated in favour of a new initrd loading method that is based on existing UEFI protocols and best practices. So update the x86 boot protocol documentation to clarify that the EFI handover protocol has been deprecated, and while at it, add a note that invoking the EFI handover protocol still requires the PE/COFF image to be loaded properly (as opposed to simply being copied into memory). Also, drop the code32_start header field from the list of values that need to be provided, as this is no longer required. Reviewed-by:

Commit 0698fac4 ("efi/arm: Clean EFI stub exit code from cache instead of avoiding it") introduced a PC-relative reference to 'call_cache_fn' into efi_enter_kernel(), which lives way at the end of head.S. In some cases, the ARM version of the ADR instruction does not have sufficient range, resulting in a build error: arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:1453: Error: invalid constant (fffffffffffffbe4) after fixup ARM defines an alternative with a wider range, called ADRL, but this does not exist for Thumb-2. At the same time, the ADR instruction in Thumb-2 has a wider range, and so it does not suffer from the same issue. So let's switch to ADRL for ARM builds, and keep the ADR for Thumb-2 builds.

Commit d5cdf4cf ("efi/x86: Don't relocate the kernel unless necessary") tries to avoid relocating the kernel in the EFI stub as far as possible. However, when systemd-boot is used to boot a unified kernel image [1], the image is constructed by embedding the bzImage as a .linux section in a PE executable that contains a small stub loader from systemd that will call the EFI stub handover entry, together with additional sections and potentially an initrd. When this image is constructed, by for example dracut, the initrd is placed after the bzImage without ensuring that at least init_size bytes are available for the bzImage. If the kernel is not relocated by the EFI stub, this could result in the compressed kernel's startup code in head_{32,64}.S overwriting the initrd. To prevent this, unconditionally relocate the kernel if the EFI stub was entered via the handover entry point.

Commit 3ee372cc ("x86/boot/compressed/64: Remove .bss/.pgtable from bzImage") removed the .bss section from the bzImage. However, while a PE loader is required to zero-initialize the .bss section before calling the PE entry point, the EFI handover protocol does not currently document any requirement that .bss be initialized by the bootloader prior to calling the handover entry. When systemd-boot is used to boot a unified kernel image [1], the image is constructed by embedding the bzImage as a .linux section in a PE executable that contains a small stub loader from systemd together with additional sections and potentially an initrd. As the .bss section within the bzImage is no longer explicitly present as part of the file, it is not initialized before calling the EFI handover entry. Furthermore, as the size of the embedded .linux section is only the size of the bzImage file itself, the .bss section's memory may not even have been allocated. In particular, this can result in efi_disable_pci_dma being true even when it was not specified via the command line or configuration option, which in turn causes crashes while booting on some systems. To avoid issues, place all EFI stub global variables into the .data section instead of .bss. As of this writing, only boolean flags for a few command line arguments and the sys_table pointer were in .bss and will now move into the .data section.

This sorts the actual field names too, potentially causing even more chaos and confusion at merge time if you have edited the MAINTAINERS file. But the end result is a more consistent layout, and hopefully it's a one-time pain minimized by doing this just before the -rc1 release.

They are all supposed to be sorted, but people who add new entries don't always know the alphabet. Plus sometimes the entry names get edited, and people don't then re-order the entry. Let's see how painful this will be for merging purposes (the MAINTAINERS file is often edited in various different trees), but Joe claims there's relatively few patches in -next that touch this, and doing it just before -rc1 is likely the best time. Fingers crossed. This was scripted with /scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS but then I also ended up manually upper-casing a few entry names that stood out when looking at the end result.

This should never occur for a well-behaved guest, but a malicious guest can manipulate the TLB to trigger emulation of a locked instruction[1]. More discussion can be found at [2][3].

Without at least minimal handling for split lock detection induced #AC, VMX will just run into the same problem as the VMWare hypervisor, which was reported by Kenneth. It will inject the #AC blindly into the guest whether the guest is prepared or not. Provide a function for guest mode which acts depending on the host SLD mode. If mode == sld_warn, treat it like user space, i.e. emit a warning, disable SLD and mark the task accordingly. Otherwise force SIGBUS.

Pull orangefs updates from Mike Marshall: "A fix and two cleanups. Fix: - Christoph Hellwig noticed that some logic I added to orangefs_file_read_iter introduced a race condition, so he sent a reversion patch. I had to modify his patch since reverting at this point broke Orangefs. Cleanups: - Christoph Hellwig noticed that we were doing some unnecessary work in orangefs_flush, so he sent in a patch that removed the un-needed code. - Al Viro told me he had trouble building Orangefs. Orangefs should be easy to build, even for Al :-). I looked back at the test server build notes in orangefs.txt, just in case that's where the trouble really is, and found a couple of typos and made a couple of clarifications" * tag 'for-linus-5.7-ofs1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hubcap/linux: orangefs: clarify build steps for test server in orangefs.txt orangefs: don't mess with I_DIRTY_TIMES in orangefs_flush orangefs: get rid of knob code... -
