Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
"Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
just removing a line in a structure.Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There
are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been
acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"There was a lot of clean ups and minor fixes. One of those clean ups
was to the trace_seq code. It also removed the return values to the
trace_seq_*() functions and use trace_seq_has_overflowed() to see if
the buffer filled up or not. This is similar to work being done to
the seq_file code as well in another tree.Some of the other goodies include:
- Added some "!" (NOT) logic to the tracing filter.
- Fixed the frame pointer logic to the x86_64 mcount trampolines
- Added the logic for dynamic trampolines on !CONFIG_PREEMPT systems.
That is, the ftrace trampoline can be dynamically allocated and be
called directly by functions that only have a single hook to them"* tag 'trace-3.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (55 commits)

This reverts commit 84be880560fb, which itself reverted my original
attempt to move x86 from #include'ing .c files from across the tree
to using the EFI stub built as a static library.The issue that affected the original approach was that splitting
the implementation into several .o files resulted in the variable
'efi_early' becoming a global with external linkage, which under
-fPIC implies that references to it must go through the GOT. However,
dealing with this additional GOT entry turned out to be troublesome
on some EFI implementations. (GCC's visibility=hidden attribute is
supposed to lift this requirement, but it turned out not to work on
the 32-bit build.)Instead, use a pure getter function to get a reference to efi_early.
This approach results in no additional GOT entries being generated,
so there is no need for any changes in the early GOT handling.Tested-by: Maarten Lankhorst

In the absence of a DTB configuration table, the EFI stub will happily
continue attempting to boot a kernel, despite the fact that this kernel
may not function without a description of the hardware. In this case, as
with a typo'd "dtb=" option (e.g. "dbt=") or many other possible
failures, the only output seen by the user will be the rather terse
output from the EFI stub:EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
To aid those attempting to debug such failures, this patch adds a notice
when no DTB is found, making the output more helpful:EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Generating empty DTBAdditionally, a positive acknowledgement is added when a user-specified
DTB is in use:EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...

The DMTF SMBIOS reference spec v3.0.0 defines a new 64-bit entry point,
which enables support for SMBIOS structure tables residing at a physical
offset over 4 GB. This is especially important for upcoming arm64
platforms whose system RAM resides entirely above the 4 GB boundary.For the UEFI case, this code attempts to detect the new SMBIOS 3.0
header magic at the offset passed in the SMBIOS3_TABLE_GUID UEFI
configuration table. If this configuration table is not provided, or
if we fail to parse the header, we fall back to using the legacy
SMBIOS_TABLE_GUID configuration table. This is in line with the spec,
that allows both configuration tables to be provided, but mandates that
they must point to the same structure table, unless the version pointed
to by the 64-bit entry point is a superset of the 32-bit one.For the non-UEFI case, the detection logic is modified to look for the
SMBIOS 3.0 header magic before it looks for the legacy header magic.Note that this patch is based on version 3.0.0d [draft] of the
specification, which is expected not to deviate from the final version
in ways that would affect the correctness of this implementation.Tested-by: Suravee Suthikulpanit

This adds support to the UEFI side for detecting the presence of
a SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point. This allows the actual SMBIOS
structure table to reside at a physical offset over 4 GB, which
cannot be supported by the legacy SMBIOS 32-bit entry point.Since the firmware can legally provide both entry points, store
the SMBIOS 3.0 entry point in a separate variable, and let the
DMI decoding layer decide which one will be used.Tested-by: Suravee Suthikulpanit

By the following commits, we prevented from allocating firmware_map_entry
of same memory range:

of same memory range
49c8b24d: drivers/firmware/memmap.c: pass the correct argument to
firmware_map_find_entry_bootmem()But it's not enough. When PNP0C80 device is added by acpi_scan_init(),
memmap sysfses of same firmware_map_entry are created twice as follows:# cat /sys/firmware/memmap/*/start
0x40000000000

0x4a837000
0x4a83a000

0x40000000000
0x60000000000
...The flows of the issues are as follows:
1. e820_reserve_resources() allocates firmware_map_entrys of all
memory ranges defined in e820. And, these firmware_map_entrys
are linked with map_entries list.map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N
2. When PNP0C80 device is limited by mem= boot option, acpi_scan_init()
added the memory device. In this case, firmware_map_add_hotplug()
allocates firmware_map_entry and creates memmap sysfs.map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N -> entry N+1

memmap 13. firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of firmware_map_entrys
linked with map_entries.map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N -> entry N+1

commit 5dc3826d9f08 ("efi: Implement mandatory locking for UEFI Runtime
Services") implemented some conditional locking when accessing variable
runtime services that Ingo described as "pretty disgusting".The intention with the !efi_in_nmi() checks was to avoid live-locks when
trying to write pstore crash data into an EFI variable. Such lockless
accesses are allowed according to the UEFI specification when we're in a
"non-recoverable" state, but whether or not things are implemented
correctly in actual firmware implementations remains an unanswered
question, and so it would seem sensible to avoid doing any kind of
unsynchronized variable accesses.Furthermore, the efi_in_nmi() tests are inadequate because they don't
account for the case where we call EFI variable services from panic or
oops callbacks and aren't executing in NMI context. In other words,
live-locking is still possible.Let's just remove the conditional locking altogether. Now we've got the
->set_variable_nonblocking() EFI variable operation we can abort if the
runtime lock is already held. Aborting is by far the safest option.Cc: Peter Zijlstra

There are some circumstances that call for trying to write an EFI
variable in a non-blocking way. One such scenario is when writing pstore
data in efi_pstore_write() via the pstore_dump() kdump callback.Now that we have an EFI runtime spinlock we need a way of aborting if
there is contention instead of spinning, since when writing pstore data
from the kdump callback, the runtime lock may already be held by the CPU
that's running the callback if we crashed in the middle of an EFI
variable operation.The situation is sufficiently special that a new EFI variable operation
is warranted.Introduce ->set_variable_nonblocking() for this use case. It is an
optional EFI backend operation, and need only be implemented by those
backends that usually acquire locks to serialize access to EFI
variables, as is the case for virt_efi_set_variable() where we now grab
the EFI runtime spinlock.Cc: Peter Zijlstra

It is a really bad idea to declare variables or parameters that

At the moment, there are three architectures debug-printing the EFI memory
map at initialization: x86, ia64, and arm64. They all use different format
strings, plus the EFI memory type and the EFI memory attributes are
similarly hard to decode for a human reader.Introduce a helper __init function that formats the memory type and the
memory attributes in a unified way, to a user-provided character buffer.The array "memory_type_name" is copied from the arm64 code, temporarily
duplicating it. The (otherwise optional) braces around each string literal
in the initializer list are dropped in order to match the kernel coding
style more closely. The element size is tightened from 32 to 20 bytes
(maximum actual string length + 1) so that we can derive the field width
from the element size.Signed-off-by: Laszlo Ersek

We need a way to customize the behaviour of the EFI boot stub, in
particular, we need a way to disable the "chunking" workaround, used
when reading files from the EFI System Partition.One of my machines doesn't cope well when reading files in 1MB chunks to
a buffer above the 4GB mark - it appears that the "chunking" bug
workaround triggers another firmware bug. This was only discovered with
commit 4bf7111f5016 ("x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G"), and
that commit is perfectly valid. The symptom I observed was a corrupt
initrd rather than any kind of crash.efi= is now used to specify EFI parameters in two very different
execution environments, the EFI boot stub and during kernel boot.There is also a slight performance optimization by enabling efi=nochunk,
but that's offset by the fact that you're more likely to run into
firmware issues, at least on x86. This is the rationale behind leaving
the workaround enabled by default.Also provide some documentation for EFI_READ_CHUNK_SIZE and why we're
using the current value of 1MB.Tested-by: Ard Biesheuvel

According to section 7.1 of the UEFI spec, Runtime Services are not fully
reentrant, and there are particular combinations of calls that need to be
serialized. Use a spinlock to serialize all Runtime Services with respect
to all others, even if this is more than strictly needed.We've managed to get away without requiring a runtime services lock
until now because most of the interactions with EFI involve EFI
variables, and those operations are already serialised with
__efivars->lock.Some of the assumptions underlying the decision whether locks are
needed or not (e.g., SetVariable() against ResetSystem()) may not
apply universally to all [new] architectures that implement UEFI.
Rather than try to reason our way out of this, let's just implement at
least what the spec requires in terms of locking.Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

This reverts commit f23cf8bd5c1f ("efi/x86: efistub: Move shared
dependencies to ") as well as the x86 parts of commit
f4f75ad5741f ("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 9cb0e394234d ("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
f3670394c29f.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.

Commit 86c8b27a01cf:
"arm64: ignore DT memreserve entries when booting in UEFI modeprevents 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.Signed-off-by: Mark Salter

This patch does two things. It passes EFI run time mappings to second
kernel in bootparams efi_info. Second kernel parse this info and create
new mappings in second kernel. That means mappings in first and second
kernel will be same. This paves the way to enable EFI in kexec kernel.This patch also prepares and passes EFI setup data through bootparams.
This contains bunch of information about various tables and their

When limiting memory by mem= and ACPI DSDT table has PNP0C80,
firmware_map_entrys of same memory range are allocated and memmap X
sysfses which have same memory range are created as follows:# cat /sys/firmware/memmap/0/*
0x407ffffffff
0x40000000000
System RAM
# cat /sys/firmware/memmap/33/*
0x407ffffffff
0x40000000000
System RAM
# cat /sys/firmware/memmap/35/*
0x407ffffffff
0x40000000000
System RAMIn this case, when hot-removing memory, kernel panic occurs, showing
following call trace:BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000001003e000b

system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1bThe problem occurs as follows:
When calling e820_reserve_resources(), firmware_map_entrys of all e820
memory map are allocated. And all firmware_map_entrys is added
map_entries list as follows:map_entries
-> +--- entry A --------+ -> ...
| start 0x407ffffffff|
| end 0x40000000000|
| type System RAM |
+--------------------+After that, if ACPI DSDT table has PNP0C80 and the memory range is
limited by mem=, the PNP0C80 is hot-added. Then firmware_map_entry of
PNP0C80 is allocated and added map_entries list as follows:map_entries
-> +--- entry A --------+ -> ... -> +--- entry B --------+
| start 0x407ffffffff| | start 0x407ffffffff|
| end 0x40000000000| | end 0x40000000000|
| type System RAM | | type System RAM |
+--------------------+ +--------------------+Then memmap 0 sysfs for entry B is created.
After that, firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of all
firmware_map_entrys in map_entries list. As a result, memmap 33 sysfs
for entry A and memmap 35 sysfs for entry B are created. But kobject of
entry B has been used by memmap 0 sysfs. So when creating memmap 35
sysfs, the kobject is broken.If hot-removing memory, memmap 0 sysfs is destroyed and kobject of
memmap 0 sysfs is freed. But the kobject can be accessed via memmap 35
sysfs. So when open memmap 35 sysfs, kernel panic occurs.This patch checks whether there is firmware_map_entry of same memory
range in map_entries list and don't allocate firmware_map_entry of same
memroy range.Signed-off-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu

firmware_map_add_hotplug() calls firmware_map_find_entry_bootmem() to
get free firmware_map_entry. But end arguments is not correct. So
firmware_map_find_entry_bootmem() cannot not find firmware_map_entry.The patch passes the correct end argument to firmware_map_find_entry_bootmem().

APEI is currently implemented so that it depends on x86 hardware.
The primary dependency is that GHES uses the x86 NMI for hardware
error notification and MCE for memory error handling. These patches
remove that dependency.Other APEI features such as error reporting via external IRQ, error
serialization, or error injection, do not require changes to use them
on non-x86 architectures.The following patch set eliminates the APEI Kconfig x86 dependency
by making these changes:
- treat NMI notification as GHES architecture - HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI
- group and wrap around #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI code which
is used only for NMI path
- identify architectural boxes and abstract it accordingly (tlb flush and MCE)
- rework ioremap for both IRQ and NMI contextNMI code is kept in ghes.c file since NMI and IRQ context are tightly coupled.
Note, these patches introduce no functional changes for x86. The NMI notification
feature is hard selected for x86. Architectures that want to use this
feature should also provide NMI code infrastructure.

The original patch is from Ben Hutchings's contribution to debian
kernel. Got Ben's permission to remove the code of efi-pstore.c and
send to linux-efi:
https://github.com/BlankOn/linux-debian/blob/master/debian/patches/features/all/efi-autoload-efivars.patchefivars is generally useful to have on EFI systems, and in some cases
it may be impossible to load it after a kernel upgrade in order to
complete a boot loader update. At the same time we don't want to waste
memory on non-EFI systems by making them built-in.Instead, give them module aliases as if they are platform drivers, and
register a corresponding platform device whenever EFI runtime services
are available. This should trigger udev to load them.Signed-off-by: Lee, Chun-Yi

Introduce EFI_PARAVIRT flag. If it is set then kernel runs
on EFI platform but it has not direct control on EFI stuff
like EFI runtime, tables, structures, etc. If not this means
that Linux Kernel has direct access to EFI infrastructure
and everything runs as usual.This functionality is used in Xen dom0 because hypervisor
has full control on EFI stuff and all calls from dom0 to
EFI must be requested via special hypercall which in turn
executes relevant EFI code in behalf of dom0.Signed-off-by: Daniel Kiper

Use early_mem*() instead of early_io*() because all mapped EFI regions
are memory (usually RAM but they could also be ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, flash,
etc.) not I/O regions. Additionally, I/O family calls do not work correctly
under Xen in our case. early_ioremap() skips the PFN to MFN conversion
when building the PTE. Using it for memory will attempt to map the wrong
machine frame. However, all artificial EFI structures created under Xen
live in dom0 memory and should be mapped/unmapped using early_mem*() family
calls which map domain memory.Signed-off-by: Daniel Kiper

It appears that the BayTrail-T class of hardware requires EFI in order
to powerdown and reboot and no other reliable method exists.This quirk is generally applicable to all hardware that has the ACPI
Hardware Reduced bit set, since usually ACPI would be the preferred
method.Cc: Len Brown

Not only can EfiResetSystem() be used to reboot, it can also be used to
power down machines.By and large, this functionality doesn't work very well across the range
of EFI machines in the wild, so it should definitely only be used as a
last resort. In an ideal world, this wouldn't be needed at all.Unfortunately, we're starting to see machines where EFI is the *only*
reliable way to power down, and nothing else, not PCI, not ACPI, works.efi_poweroff_required() should be implemented on a per-architecture
basis, since exactly when we should be using EFI runtime services is a
platform-specific decision. There's no analogue for reboot because each
architecture handles reboot very differently - the x86 code in
particular is pretty complex.Patches to enable this for specific classes of hardware will be
submitted separately.Tested-by: Mark Salter

Implement efi_reboot(), which is really just a wrapper around the
EfiResetSystem() EFI runtime service, but it does at least allow us to
funnel all callers through a single location.It also simplifies the callsites since users no longer need to check to
see whether EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES are enabled.Cc: Tony Luck

This patch changes both x86 and arm64 efistub implementations
from #including shared .c files under drivers/firmware/efi to
building shared code as a static library.The x86 code uses a stub built into the boot executable which
uncompresses the kernel at boot time. In this case, the library is
linked into the decompressor.In the arm64 case, the stub is part of the kernel proper so the library
is linked into the kernel proper as well.Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel
