[RESEND] Early cpio decoder and ACPI table override via initrd making use of it

[RESEND] Early cpio decoder and ACPI table override via initrd making use of it

[Thomas Renninger]

Hi,

this is the updated version with following changes as suggested
by Len and Yinghai:
  - spelling corrections
  - macro hiding in header files
  - splitting up patches

There shouldn't be any functional changes since the last version.

I guess the only part missing is a more explicit ack from Len than
"this is not a nak"?
Then this can go into linux-next through a X86 branch pushed by
hpa (as there are quite some x86 specific parts)?

The patches are on top of latest Linus tree.

Thanks,

    Thomas

[PATCH 1/6] lib: Add early cpio decoder

[Thomas Renninger]

From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa-VuQAYsv1563Yd54FQh9/CA@public.gmane.org>

Add a simple cpio decoder without library dependencies for the purpose
of extracting components from the initramfs blob for early kernel
uses.  Intended consumers so far are microcode and ACPI override.

[PATCH 2/6] X86 ACPI: Introduce x86 arch specific arch_reserve_mem_area() for e820 handling

[Thomas Renninger]

This is needed for ACPI table overriding via initrd. Beside reserving
memblocks, X86 also requires to flag the memory area to E820_RESERVED or
E820_ACPI in the e820 mappings to be able to io(re)map it later.

Argh: ...void void... 
I made sure every single patch compiles, so that no typo slips
in, I haven't compiled it on an other arch and there ... a typo
slipped in.

Can this get manually fixed?
Tell me and I can also resend.

I think you got an explicit NAK for this being default y.

[PATCH 4/6] ACPI: Implement physical address table override

[Thomas Renninger]

Previous patches stored ACPI tables provided via initrd in a memblock reserved
area.
If a table is loaded and the table type of an initrd provided one matches,
the one from initrd is prefered.
In case of a SSDT table, the OEM table id also has to match.

ACPI tables can be loaded at boot time (static table pointers in XSDT),
but also dynamically any time later via ASL commands load() or loadTable().
The override mechanism always works.

[PATCH 5/6] ACPI: Create acpi_table_taint() function to avoid code duplication

[Thomas Renninger]

There are two ways of overriding ACPI tables now, both need to taint the
the kernel.

+Overriding ACPI tables via initrd
+=================================
+
+1) Introduction (What is this about)
+2) What is this for
+3) How does it work
+4) References (Where to retrieve userspace tools)
+
+1) What is this about
+---------------------
+
+If the ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE compile option is true, it is possible to
+override nearly any ACPI table provided by the BIOS with an instrumented,
+modified one.
+
+For a full list of ACPI tables that can be overridden, take a look at
+the char *table_sigs[MAX_ACPI_SIGNATURE]; definition in drivers/acpi/osl.c
+All ACPI tables iasl (Intel's ACPI compiler and disassembler) knows should
+be overridable, except:
+   - ACPI_SIG_RSDP (has a signature of 6 bytes)
+   - ACPI_SIG_FACS (does not have an ordinary ACPI table header)
+Both could get implemented as well.
+
+
+2) What is this for
+-------------------
+
+Please keep in mind that this is a debug option.
+ACPI tables should not get overridden for productive use.
+If BIOS ACPI tables are overridden the kernel will get tainted with the
+TAINT_OVERRIDDEN_ACPI_TABLE flag.
+Complain to your platform/BIOS vendor if you find a bug which is so sever
+that a workaround is not accepted in the Linux kernel.
+
+Still, it can and should be enabled in any kernel, because:
+  - There is no functional change with not instrumented initrds
+  - It provides a powerful feature to easily debug and test ACPI BIOS table
+    compatibility with the Linux kernel.
+
+
+3) How does it work
+-------------------
+
+# Extract the machine's ACPI tables:
+cd /tmp
+acpidump >acpidump
+acpixtract -a acpidump
+# Disassemble, modify and recompile them:
+iasl -d *.dat
+# For example add this statement into a _PRT (PCI Routing Table) function
+# of the DSDT:
+Store("HELLO WORLD", debug)
+iasl -sa dsdt.dsl
+# Add the raw ACPI tables to an uncompressed cpio archive.
+# They must be put into a /kernel/firmware/acpi directory inside the
+# cpio archive.
+# The uncompressed cpio archive must be the first.
+# Other, typically compressed cpio archives, must be
+# concatenated on top of the uncompressed one.
+mkdir -p kernel/firmware/acpi
+cp dsdt.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
+# A maximum of: #define ACPI_OVERRIDE_TABLES 10
+# tables are  currently allowed (see osl.c):
+iasl -sa facp.dsl
+iasl -sa ssdt1.dsl
+cp facp.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
+cp ssdt1.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
+# Create the uncompressed cpio archive and concatenate the original initrd
+# on top:
+find kernel | cpio -H newc --create > /boot/instrumented_initrd
+cat /boot/initrd >>/boot/instrumented_initrd
+# reboot with increased acpi debug level, e.g. boot params:
+acpi.debug_level=0x2 acpi.debug_layer=0xFFFFFFFF
+# and check your syslog:
+[    1.268089] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT]
+[    1.272091] [ACPI Debug]  String [0x0B] "HELLO WORLD"
+
+iasl is able to disassemble and recompile quite a lot different,
+also static ACPI tables.
+
+
+4) Where to retrieve userspace tools
+------------------------------------
+
+iasl and acpixtract are part of Intel's ACPICA project:
+http://acpica.org/
+and should be packaged by distributions (for example in the acpica package
+on SUSE).
+
+acpidump can be found in Len Browns pmtools:
+ftp://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools/acpidump
+This tool is also part of the acpica package on SUSE.
+Alternatively, used ACPI tables can be retrieved via sysfs in latest kernels:
+/sys/firmware/acpi/tables
