From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Ard Biesheuvel Subject: [PATCH 1/1] efi/x86: remove pointless call to PciIo->Attributes() Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2018 11:02:35 +0200 Message-ID: <20180711090235.9327-2-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> References: <20180711090235.9327-1-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Return-path: In-Reply-To: <20180711090235.9327-1-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: linux-efi@vger.kernel.org, Ingo Molnar , Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ard Biesheuvel , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-efi@vger.kernel.org When it was first introduced, the EFI stub code that copies the contents of PCI option ROMs originally only intended to do so if the EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_EMBEDDED_ROM attribute was *not* set. The reason was that the UEFI spec permits PCI option ROM images to be provided by the platform directly, rather than via the ROM BAR, and in this case, the OS can only access them at runtime if they are preserved at boot time by copying them from the areas described by PciIo->RomImage and PciIo->RomSize. However, it implemented this check erroneously, as can be seen in commit dd5fc854de5fd ("EFI: Stash ROMs if they're not in the PCI BAR"): if (!attributes & EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_EMBEDDED_ROM) continue; and given that the numeric value of EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_EMBEDDED_ROM is 0x4000, this condition never becomes true, and so the option ROMs were copied unconditionally. This was spotted and 'fixed' by commit 886d751a2ea99a160 ("x86, efi: correct precedence of operators in setup_efi_pci"), but inadvertently inverted the logic at the same time, defeating the purpose of the code, since it now only preserves option ROM images that can be read from the ROM BAR as well. Unsurprisingly, this broke some systems, and so the check was removed entirely in commit 739701888f5d ("x86, efi: remove attribute check from setup_efi_pci"). It is debatable whether this check should have been included in the first place, since the option ROM image provided to the UEFI driver by the firmware may be different from the one that is actually present in the card's flash ROM, and so whatever PciIo->RomImage points at should be preferred regardless of whether the attribute is set. As this was the only use of the attributes field, we can remove the call to PciIo->Attributes() entirely, which is especially nice because its prototype involves uint64_t type by-value arguments which the EFI mixed mode has trouble dealing with.
