[PATCH 3.14 19/79] x86/efi: Fix boot crash by mapping EFI memmap entries bottom-up at runtime, instead of top-down

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

commit a5caa209ba9c29c6421292e7879d2387a2ef39c9 upstream.

Beginning with UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE was introduced
that signals that the firmware PE/COFF loader supports splitting
code and data sections of PE/COFF images into separate EFI
memory map entries. This allows the kernel to map those regions
with strict memory protections, e.g. EFI_MEMORY_RO for code,
EFI_MEMORY_XP for data, etc.

Unfortunately, an unwritten requirement of this new feature is
that the regions need to be mapped with the same offsets
relative to each other as observed in the EFI memory map. If
this is not done crashes like this may occur,

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffefe6086dd
  IP: [<fffffffefe6086dd>] 0xfffffffefe6086dd
  Call Trace:
   [<ffffffff8104c90e>] efi_call+0x7e/0x100
   [<ffffffff81602091>] ? virt_efi_set_variable+0x61/0x90
   [<ffffffff8104c583>] efi_delete_dummy_variable+0x63/0x70
   [<ffffffff81f4e4aa>] efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x383/0x392
   [<ffffffff81f37e1b>] start_kernel+0x38a/0x417
   [<ffffffff81f37495>] x86_64_start_reservations+0x2a/0x2c
   [<ffffffff81f37582>] x86_64_start_kernel+0xeb/0xef

Here 0xfffffffefe6086dd refers to an address the firmware
expects to be mapped but which the OS never claimed was mapped.
The issue is that included in these regions are relative
addresses to other regions which were emitted by the firmware
toolchain before the "splitting" of sections occurred at
runtime.

Needless to say, we don't satisfy this unwritten requirement on
x86_64 and instead map the EFI memory map entries in reverse
order. The above crash is almost certainly triggerable with any
kernel newer than v3.13 because that's when we rewrote the EFI
runtime region mapping code, in commit d2f7cbe7b26a ("x86/efi:
Runtime services virtual mapping"). For kernel versions before
v3.13 things may work by pure luck depending on the
fragmentation of the kernel virtual address space at the time we
map the EFI regions.

Instead of mapping the EFI memory map entries in reverse order,
where entry N has a higher virtual address than entry N+1, map
them in the same order as they appear in the EFI memory map to
preserve this relative offset between regions.

This patch has been kept as small as possible with the intention
that it should be applied aggressively to stable and
distribution kernels. It is very much a bugfix rather than
support for a new feature, since when EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE is
enabled we must map things as outlined above to even boot - we
have no way of asking the firmware not to split the code/data
regions.

In fact, this patch doesn't even make use of the more strict
memory protections available in UEFI v2.5. That will come later.
