[PATCH 1/5] Add ucs2 -> utf8 helper functions

[PATCH 1/5] Add ucs2 -> utf8 helper functions

[Peter Jones]

This adds ucs2_utf8size(), which tells us how big our ucs2 string is in
bytes, and ucs2_as_utf8, which translates from ucs2 to utf8..

[PATCH 2/5] efi: use ucs2_as_utf8 in efivarfs instead of open coding a bad version

[Peter Jones]

Translate EFI's UCS-2 variable names to UTF-8 instead of just assuming
all variable names fit in ASCII.

test against our other utf8 data, instead of fudging it.

[PATCH 5/5] efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default.

[Peter Jones]

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

v2: adds Timeout to our whitelist.

I see no mention of the benefit of using the immutable flag versus
making all protected files read-only.

Is it not possible to just make everything that needs protecting 444?
That way users can use standard tools if they really, really want to
delete/write to a variable. It has the added benefit of protecting
users from trashing variables that are important for POST too (as
opposed to deleting them altogether).

Just making them read-only won't stop people trashing things as
root. They're already owned by root anyway aren't they??

Although if we're at the stage of doing things this wat then is there
much to be gained by having a filesystem interface in the first place?

The point is to stop people _accidentally_ triggering
brickness-inducing bugs in completely broken firmware.

This set achieves that.

These systems would be manually brickable regardless of what interface
you implemented, or under which operating system. Probably even from
the UEFI Shell.

Right, and the old efivar sysfs code has a 1024-byte limit on the size
of data, which is impractical.

*nod* - as discussed on irc. I hadn't realised that limitation.

I suspect the length calculations we're doing are now wrong and we're
overwriting kmalloc metadata, probably in the efivars code.

[PATCH] efi: use ucs2_as_utf8 in efivarfs instead of open coding a bad version (v2)

[Peter Jones]

Translate EFI's UCS-2 variable names to UTF-8 instead of just assuming
all variable names fit in ASCII.

v2: fix where I'd accidentally left some of the sizes off when
    converting the variable name strings.

Folks, please hold off on merging this patch as Laszlo has raised a
good point about including the efi-pstore variables in the whitelist.

[PATCH 5/5] efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default

[Matt Fleming]

From: Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com>

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

 efivarfs is typically mounted like this,

+files that are not well-known standardized variables are created

Only the last two patches (4 and 5) of this series are required to fix
this bricking issue, right? The fix needs backporting to stable
kernels and if the first three patches are just improving the
robustness of UCS-2 handling, they don't qualify for backport.

It would be good to include a comment above this table that documents
what it is used for since we're adding one more use.

"protected" is a bit of a vague word in this context.

How about inverting the return values and naming it,

efivar_variable_is_removable() ? Or efivar_variable_is_deletable() ?

What's the point looking up efivar_variable_is_protected() if you
trash ->i_flags?

[PATCH 5/5] efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default.

[Peter Jones]

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default, and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum
unset the immutable flag.
