[PATCH] x86/efi: page align EFI ROM image ranges

[PATCH] x86/efi: page align EFI ROM image ranges

[Stuart Hayes]

(Resend because I mistyped the maintainer's email address the first time.)

The kernel's EFI stub locates and copies EFI ROM images into memory, which it allocates using the byte-granular EFI allocate_pool function.  These memory ranges are then added to setup_data, and later to e820 (in e820__reserve_setup_data()).  The e820 ranges are parsed to create nosave regions (in e820__register_nosave_regions()), but when non-page-aligned e820 regions are parsed, a nosave page is added at the beginning and end of each non-page-aligned region, which results in data not getting saved or restored during a hibernate/resume.  This can result in random failures after a hibernate/resume.
 
Round up the allocation size to a whole number of pages, and use EFI allocate_pages to ensure that the EFI ROM copy regions are page-aligned.

On a system with six EFI ROM images, before the patch:

Nice catch. The comment could do with a little more information,
including the fact that it's the e820 nosave code that expects
page-aligned ROM regions.

Also, you'll need the same fix for __setup_efi_pci32().

Just a quick ping: is this fix being worked on?

[PATCH v2] x86/efi: page align EFI ROM image ranges

[Stuart Hayes]

The kernel's EFI stub locates and copies EFI ROM images into memory, which it allocates using the byte-granular EFI allocate_pool function.  These memory ranges are then added to setup_data, and later to e820 (in e820__reserve_setup_data()).  The e820 ranges are parsed to create nosave regions (in e820__register_nosave_regions()), but when non-page-aligned e820 regions are parsed, a nosave page is added at the beginning and end of each non-page-aligned region, which results in data not getting saved or restored during a hibernate/resume.  This can result in random failures after a hibernate/resume.
 
Round up the allocation size to a whole number of pages, and use EFI allocate_pages to ensure that the EFI ROM copy regions are page-aligned.

On a system with six EFI ROM images, before the patch:

BTW., could we please also do a separate robustness fix to 
e820__register_nosave_regions(), which complains about regions that have bad 
alignment, and fixes them up if possible?

That way if with just the robustness fix applied we'd get the warning on your 
system - and hibernation should work - and with this second fix we'd get a silent 
bootup and a working system.

Or something like that?

Thanks,

	Ingo

Yes... I sent a v2 patch earlier today.  Sorry for the delay.

[PATCH] x86/efi: page align EFI ROM image ranges

[Stuart Hayes]

The kernel's EFI stub locates and copies EFI ROM images into memory, which it allocates using the byte-granular EFI allocate_pool function.  These memory ranges are then added to setup_data, and later to e820 (in e820__reserve_setup_data()).  The e820 ranges are parsed to create nosave regions (in e820__register_nosave_regions()), but when non-page-aligned e820 regions are parsed, a nosave page is added at the beginning and end of each non-page-aligned region, which results in data not getting saved or restored during a hibernate/resume.  This can result in random failures after a hibernate/resume.
 
Round up the allocation size to a whole number of pages, and use EFI allocate_pages to ensure that the EFI ROM copy regions are page-aligned.

On a system with six EFI ROM images, before the patch:
