[PATCH 0/4] efi/x86: move efi bgrt init code to early init

[PATCH 0/4] efi/x86: move efi bgrt init code to early init

[Dave Young]

Hi,

Here is a patchset to move efi_bgrt_init to early code so that we can still use memblock api.

Appreciated for comments and review.

[PATCH 1/4] efi/x86: make efi_memmap_reserve only insert into boot mem areas

[Dave Young]

[-- Attachment #1: efi-memmap-insert-fix.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3954 bytes --]

There are memory ranges like below when I testing early efi_mem_reserve:

efi: mem62: [Reserved           |   |  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |  ] range=[0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff] (0MB)
efi: mem63: [Reserved           |   |  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |  ] range=[0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff] (0MB)
efi: mem64: [Reserved           |   |  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |  ] range=[0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff] (0MB)
efi: mem65: [Reserved           |   |  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |  ] range=[0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff] (0MB)
efi: mem66: [Reserved           |   |  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |  ] range=[0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff] (0MB)
efi: mem67: [Reserved           |   |  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |  ] range=[0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff] (0MB)

So efi_memmap_insert will run into inserting same region multiple times,
also because efi_memmap_insert does not consider the duplicate ranges it will
cause memmap buffer overflow due to the size is pre-calculated, and kernel boot
fail with a panic.  We did not detect such issue because current users of
efi_mem_insert do it very late after switching to virtual mode, at that time
the new cooked efi.memmap contains only runtime needed memory ranges.

efi_mem_reserve cares only about boot services regions and maybe loader areas.
So add a new argument to efi_memmap_insert for this purpose.
 
Later patches depend on this one for moving bgrt reservation to early code.

Actually, the efi_mem_desc_lookup() called from
efi_arch_memmap_reserve() will only return mds not satisfying the
following condition:

  if (!(md->attribute & EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME) &&
      md->type != EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA &&
      md->type != EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA) {
  	continue;
  }

Furthermore, efi_arch_mem_reserve() will only accept ranges fully
contained within such a region.

I think we can make efi_arch_mem_reserve() return early if
EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME has been set already and thus, neglect this case in
efi_memmap_insert().

I suppose that we don't want to reserve within EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA
regions in efi_mem_reserve() either -- these won't ever get made
available as general memory anyway [1]. So efi_arch_mem_reserve() should
return early here as well imo.

So, what would remain to be handled from efi_memmap_insert() in case of
boot_only would be EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA only?

(As a sidenote, Matt pointed out at [1] that the EFI_LOADER_* regions
 should be reserved early through memblock_reserve() and not through
 efi_mem_reserve()).

Thanks,

Nicolai

It sounds reasonable though I'm still not sure about EFI_LOADER*.

The main purpose of this patch is to address the invalid mem ranges
case. As Ard mentioned I will test with Peter's patch first, if it works
fine I would like to either drop this patch as a future improvement or add
it at the end of the next post.

Matt, what's your opinion about the boot_only check and the EFI_LOADERS*
question?

The main reason that efi_mem_reserve() isn't used for EFI_LOADER
regions today is because we already have a mechanism for reserving it
via memblock_reserve(), which we do during a very early stage of boot
when parsing all the different types of SETUP_* objects.

It's questionable whether it would make sense to switch to
efi_mem_reserve() for EFI_LOADER regions because then you'd
potentially have different APIs for different SETUP_* objects.

As things stand today, I would suggest triggering a WARN_ON() if
someone tries to efi_mem_reserve() an EFI_LOADER region, until/unless
the day comes when a user exists in the kernel.

Hmm, I just queued this. Should we drop it again?

Does dropping it break the entire series?

Having had some time to re-read Dave's commit log, it sounds like it
just papers over a bug, which is that efi_memmap_insert() cannot deal
with reserved entries, which all look like they describe the same
region.

So I guess my question is: Shouldn't you fix that instead of requiring
the caller of efi_memmap_insert() to understand what type of entries
it's mapping?

No, it cannot deal with bogus entries, and Peter already fixed that.
Dave confirmed that Peter's patch (the one we moved from next to
urgen) made the problem go away.

Indeed. So I don't think the patch is actually needed anymore

Ard, good suggestion, I did not notice that patch, will try. Actually
I'm not sure about fake_mem handling, if we can filter out the invalid
ranges then it will be natural to drop this one after a test.

The commit works for me. I updated the series.

I addressed comments known, moved patch 1 to 4/4 with only boot service
(dropped loader areas checking), I plan to send them out next Monday
see if there are more comments. 

If anyone who want to try them now, feel free to download from below url:

[PATCH 2/4] efi/x86: move efi bgrt init code to early init code

[Dave Young]

[-- Attachment #1: efi-bgrt-fix.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 7755 bytes --]

Before invoking the arch specific handler, efi_mem_reserve() reserves
the given memory region through memblock.

efi_bgrt_init will call efi_mem_reserve after mm_init(), at that time
memblock is dead and it should not be used any more.

efi bgrt code depend on acpi intialization to get the bgrt acpi table,
moving bgrt parsing to acpi early boot code can make sure efi_mem_reserve
in efi bgrt code still use memblock safely.

Oops, later error path need unmap bgrt_image, will update in next
version after collecting more comments.

Also bgrt_image = NULL is useless, will drop it.

Not sure, but wouldn't it be safer to reverse the order of this assignment

and this length check

?

Also, from here on, all error paths should zero out
bgrt_tab.image_address (or so) to signal failure to bgrt_init():
bgrt_init() now checks for !bgrt_tab.image_address whereas before it had
tested bgrt_image and the latter used to be set at the very end of
efi_bgrt_init().

Not sure, but wouldn't it be safer to reverse the order of this assignment

and this length check

?

Also, from here on, all error paths should zero out
bgrt_tab.image_address (or so) to signal failure to bgrt_init():
bgrt_init() now checks for !bgrt_tab.image_address whereas before it had
tested bgrt_image and the latter used to be set at the very end of
efi_bgrt_init().

Ah sorry, my point is this: the length check should perhaps be made
before doing the assignment to bgrt_tab because otherwise, we might end
up reading from invalid memory.

I.e. if (struct acpi_table_bgrt *)table->length < sizeof(bgrt_tab), then

  bgrt_tab = *(struct acpi_table_bgrt *)table;

would read past the table's end.

I'm not sure whether this is a real problem though -- that is, whether
this read could ever hit some unmapped memory.

Nicolai, thanks for the explanation. It make sense to move it to even later
at the end of the function.

Indeed assignment should be after the length checking, but with another
tmp variable the assignment to global var can be moved to the end to
avoid clear the image_address field..

Indeed assignment should be after the length checking, but with another
tmp variable the assignment to global var can be moved to the end to
avoid clear the image_address field..

I had a look at your updated patches at
http://people.redhat.com/~ruyang/efi-bgrt/ and they look fine to me.

One minor remark:

sizeof(acpi_table_bgrt) == 56 and it might be better to avoid the extra
tmp copy in efi_bgrt_init() by
- assigning directly to bgrt_tab
- do a 'goto err' rather than a 'return' from all the error paths
- do a memset(&bgrt_tab, 0, sizeof(bgrt_tab)) at 'err:'


With the copy to the on-stack 'bgrt', gcc 6.2.0 emits this for each of
the two copies:

Not sure why gcc would think that storing bgrt in reversed order on the
stack might be a good idea, but well...

Hi Ard,

I have started working on an implementation where most of the BGRT
code which exists inside 'arch/x86/platform/efi-bgrt.c' can be reused
for ARM/ARM64.

I am testing a RFC approach for the same using Qemu for AARCH64. I
have sent out a patch to enable BGRT support in ArmVirtPkg (see [1])

I have one question regarding the placement of the early bgrt handling
code so that it can be reused on both arm/arm64 and x86:

- Should I consider moving the current code from
arch/x86/platform/efi-bgrt.c to outside arch/x86 so that it can be
used by both the ARCHs or should I reuse the existing x86 stuff in a
ARM specific way - no mem_remap for e.g. in a find inside arch/arm -
say efi-arm-bgrt.c

Suggestions?

-ENOPARSE

Please first move the code from x86 to a generic location
(drivers/firmware/efi or drivers/acpi), and make sure that it still
works as expected.
Then you can modify the code so that it works for arm64 as well as
x86, in a separate patch.

Thanks,
Ard.

Shouldn't the declaration in arch/x86/include/asm/efi.h get moved as well?

[PATCH 4/4] efi/x86: add debug code to print cooked memmap

[Dave Young]

[-- Attachment #1: efi-print-memmap-after-merge-ranges.patch --]

It is not obvious if the reserved boot area are added correctly, add a
efi_print_memmap to print the new memmap.
