Hi all,

this is just a snapshot of the current state of affairs. The patchset
starts to boot successfully on real hardware now but we're far away from
the coverage we'd like to have before we even consider upstreaming it.

And yes, considering the sick f*ck EFI is, we're keeping the 1:1 mapping
optional and off by default (you need to boot with "efi=1:1_map" to
enable it).

Matt has picked up 1/4 already so I'll drop it when it lands into -tip
and so on...

Thanks for any suggestions, as always.

Borislav Petkov (4):
  efi: Convert runtime services function ptrs
  x86, cpa: Map in an arbitrary pgd
  x86, efi: Add an efi= kernel command line parameter
  x86, efi: Map runtime services 1:1

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

Due to the braindead design of EFI, we cannot map runtime services more
than once for the duration of a booted system. Thus, if we want to use
EFI runtime services in a kexec'ed kernel, maybe the only possible and
sensible approach would be to map them 1:1 so that when the kexec kernel
loads, it can simply call those addresses without the need for remapping
(which doesn't work anyway).

Furthermore, this mapping approach could be of help with b0rked EFI
implementations for a different set of reasons.

This implementation is 64-bit only for now.

Looks pretty clean.

I hope making it a weird boot option is not the end plan, there's little 
point in _not_ enabling 1:1 mappings by default eventually: the 1:1 
mapping is supposed to emulate a "Windows compatible" EFI environment 
better and is expected to work around certain EFI runtime crashes.

Thanks,

And yet there are the Macs which reportedly cannot stomach this.

And then there's the issue where some boxes cannot boot through the EFI
stub with those patches even without "efi=1:1_map" on the command line.
The issue has something to do with the "cmpb $0, efi_use_11_map" in the
efi_callX stubs.

And then again, other boxes have no problem with it and boot perfectly
fine.

So I don't know - it all looks like a weird boot, opt-in option for now.

Do we know why?

A bug I suspect?

But once it works reliably we can enable it, right?

Well, according to mjg59 some Macs break if we don't give them a map
which uses high addresses.

I can imagine flipping the meaning of this option to be on by default
and "efi=no_11_map" to disable the 1:1 map for those Macs.

Probably. The problem is, it is very hard to debug the boot stub that
early. And of course, I can't reproduce it in qemu :(. If only I had a
hardware debugger...

It's all the same to me - I hate EFI with passion so whatever people
agree upon, I'll do it.

I suspect they'll be fine with having a 1:1 map, as long as we pass the 
high mappings via SetVirtualAddressMap().

I got lost in a maze of pointer arithmetic. There seems to be an 
assumption that nvram writes should be forbidden if in runtime mode but 
with pointers still below the phys/virt split, which obviously makes no 
sense but hey.

But, as always, the only reliable thing to do here is to behave as much 
like Windows as possible. Which means performing the 1:1 mapping but 
maintaining the high mapping, and passing the high values via 
SetVirtualAddressMap.

We can't pass the high values via SetVirtualAddressMap and have EFI
runtime in the kexec-ed kernel, as you and I established last week. And
since not all would want EFI runtime in the kexec-ed kernel, I'm leaning
more towards a boot-time option which enables the 1:1 mapping.

Btw, why would you even want the 1:1 mappings if we pass the high values
via SetVirtualAddressMap?

Yes, kexec needs a different solution.

Because firmware images don't always update all of the pointers, and so 
will crash if the 1:1 mappings aren't present.

No need. If we say, "efi=use_11_map", the 1:1 map will be shoved down
SetVirtualAddressMap. Otherwise the high mappings.

Ok, so it sounds like we want to *always* create both mappings but,
depending on what we want, to shove down SetVirtualAddressMap a
different set. And the 1:1 map will be the optional one which we give
SetVirtualAddressMap only when user wants it, i.e. when booting with
"efi=1:1_map".

Makes sense?

Ah, sure - if we're willing to take an argument then we can leave it at 
that. But having a stable set of high addresses for UEFI is also an 
option.

Yup, I think that sounds ideal.

I think it will work.  The only thing I'd worry about is aliasing.  This
scheme clearly won't work for any virtually indexed processor (so it's
basically x86 only) but even on Physically Indexed, you do have to make
sure the cache attributes of any given page are the same for all virtual
address aliases.  As long as the 1:1 mapping is writeback, I think this
is satisfied.

Crap, I got completely sidetracked. The 1:1 mappings go in a different
pagetable (real_mode_header->trampoline_pgd) than the kernel one
(i.e. init_mm.pgd). However, the ->trampoline_pgd has all mappings
anyway, which means that if we want to do EFI runtime calls with the
high mappings but *also* have the 1:1 mappings established, we should
*always* switch to that pagetable when doing those calls.

hpa, MattF, agreed?

No, the reports are that if you use the 1:1 map as the primary address

That's what I meant: ... cannot stomach when the 1:1 map is shoved down
SetVirtualAddressMap.

The thing is, if we want to have both the 1:1 map and the high map
during an EFI runtime call, we would need to *always* switch the
pagetable for an EFI runtime call and establish both mappings in
->trampoline_pgd beforehand.

Well, currently if I'm booted with "efi=1:1_map" I'm creating only the
1:1 mapping in ->trampoline_pgd and switching the pagetable only then.
Otherwise, I'm using the high, ioremapped mappings - i.e., what we have
now.

I guess I can sync the kernel address space into ->trampoline_pgd after
having created the 1:1 mappings and always switch the pagetable later,
after we've done SetVirtualAddressMap.

Which should take care of the EFI boot stub issue too, as I can define
another set of efi_callX which switch the pagetable unconditionally.

Let me see how that pans out...

Cool - and supposedly this will work in a Mac environment as well? Would 
be very nice to avoid fundamentally fragile system specific quirks for 
something as fundamental as the EFI runtime memory mapping model ...

Apple is the only case where I'd expect there to be an issue, since they 
only started supporting booting Windows via UEFI on very recent systems. 
However, unless they're actually sniffing the page tables on UEFI entry, 
I can't see any way that this could break things…

Agreed - I was susprised to see that the runtime was able to _break_ in 
any way due to 1:1: my assumption was that it can only get better.

But I did not realize that the 1:1 boot flag also changed what was passed 
down, which probably explains the breakages.

I'd even argue to not do this whole boot flag thing at all - just

Right, in the next version, the boot flag will influence only what's
being passed down.

This will break the Macs so maybe we can do

efi=no_11_map

so the Macs can still boot but use the 1:1 map by default.

I'm going to guess that there are more people running unmodified Linux 
kernels on Macs than there are people using kexec, so just pass the high 
maps by default and let the enterprise kernels that care about kexec do 
something different.

I'd be careful in order not to underestimate how much kexec is being used. 
[At least some] distros are using it during installation process.

Do we have to make this a popularity contest?  Parallels is currently in
beta with a ksplice like upgrade involving kexec ... basically you
checkpoint the system to ram, kexec to the new kernel and restore the
images from ram ... it can upgrade a new kernel in a matter of seconds
(and unlike ksplice, it's the correct kernel and can move between major
versions).  Since all the components that do this are open source, we
anticipate this will become a common way to maintain servers, so kexec
will see even more use than it currently does.

Can't we detect Macs from some of the UEFI strings at boot time and do
the right thing with the boot switch (which can be overriden from the
kernel command line if we get it wrong)?

Yes, and then our behaviour differs from Windows and so we'll have 
inevitably broken some other system.

How so? Windows don't work on those older Macs as well, do they?

So if we properly detect those (and only those), we mimic Windows 
completely, right?

Unless you can think of the way out of this, we seem to have the stark
choice of behave like windows or allow kexec.  For the server market,
kexec wins, so either we find a way not to have to make the choice or we
do something automatic to make it fairly painless.

No. Windows passes addresses above the phys/virt split to 
SetVirtualAddressMap().

hpa suggested ensuring that UEFI regions are mapped at fixed high 
offsets. Someone who cares about kexec should probably make that happen.

If we can detect the Macs, we can make this decision automatic. And
since no Mac boots windoze, a single DMI check of the sort "if (Mac)"
should suffice.

Yes, we can special-case Macs. But since our behaviour is then obviously 
different to Windows, we'll inevitably break some other system.

Why different? We'll have the high mappings and shove the 1:1 mappings
down SetVirtualAddressMap by default.

Because Windows passes high addresses to SetVirtualAddressMap(), and 
because if you can imagine firmware developers getting it wrong then 
firmware developers will have got it wrong.

Can we reversely assume that if we'd used fixed high offsets, as hpa
suggests, then it'll be fine? IOW, are any high addresses, even fixed
ones, fine?

Pointers in the efi_runtime_services_t structure now have type
"void *" (formerly they were "unsigned long"). So we now see a
bunch of warnings like this:

arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/fw-emu.c:293: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

Add (void *) casts to the 10 affected lines to make the build quiet again.

Windows actually seems to start at the top of address space and go down 
- this is what I get booting Windows 8 under kvm. It looks like very 
high addresses are fine, and we're currently using "low" high addresses, 
so I suspect we're fine pretty much anywhere in that range.

I guess we can do a top-down allocation, starting from the highest
virtual addresses:

EFI_HIGHEST_ADDRESS
|
| size1
|
--> region1
|
| size2
|
--> region2

...

and we make EFI_HIGHEST_ADDRESS be the same absolute number on every
system.

hpa, is this close to what you had in mind? It would be prudent to
verify whether this will suit well with the kexec virtual space layout
though...

Thanks.

This would work really well, I think.  The tricky part here is to pick a
safe EFI_HIGHEST_ADDRESS as it is an ABI.

My preference would be to make EFI_HIGHEST_ADDRESS = -4 GB, which is
*not* what Windows uses, but will leave the high negative range clear,
and allows a range where we can grow down without much risk of
interfering with anything else.

Hmm, cool. Let me see whether my primitive math still has it:

-(4 << 30) = 0xffffffff00000000.

Staring at Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt, that's right in the unused
hole, sandwiched between:

ffffea0000000000 - ffffeaffffffffff (=40 bits) virtual memory map (1TB)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - ffffffff00000000 (=XX bits, not a lot :-), maybe 4, i.e. 64G) EFI

ffffffff80000000 - ffffffffa0000000 (=512 MB)  kernel text mapping, from phys 0

Now, if we go and do that, what are we going to say for the lower bound,
in case later someone wants to use some more of the rest of the unused
hole? Should we limit it to say

0xffffffff00000000 -
0xfffffff000000000 = 64G max EFI mappable region.

Or am I too generous? The remaining hole is around

(0xfffffff000000000 - 0xffffeaffffffffff) >> 40 = 20TB.

Thanks.

If you cap it you are basically imposing a constraint on the firmware and may not run properly (or at least have to turn off EFI runtime calls with all that implies.)  It might be good to have a sanity check but it needs to be pretty generous.

Actually, this needs to be,

	cmpb $0, efi_use_11_map(%rip)

because this code is built into the EFI boot stub which isn't loaded at
a fixed address and needs to be position independent.

I don't want to cap EFI just for the fun of it but rather set a limit
so that the next one who wants a chunk of the virtual address space can
have a reliable limit from where she/he can start. Otherwise we won't
know where EFI reliably ends...

64 Gb generous enough?

We don't... and I don't think there is anything we can do about it.  If
some messed-up firmware wants to map a terabyte we either refuse and
don't allow EFI runtime calls on that machine or we accept it.

Fortunately the space is extremely large and with growing down from a
known address it is less likely that we'll conflict with something.

Let's start there and see if we run into something that gives us trouble.

Hmm, will not setting up huge areas be slow?

Or we are going to use 2G pages or something?

Or should we make it slow on purpose so that at least server
vendors are discouraged from using big areas? :-)

於 一,2013-06-17 於 19:50 +0200,Borislav Petkov 提到:

I think "efi_use_11_map = true" should moved to before "#endif",
otherwise kernel will build fail on i586 architecture.

I got build error:
arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c:1074: error: ‘efi_use_11_map’ undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c:1074: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c:1074: error: for each function it appears in.)


Thanks a lot!
