[PATCH v4 0/3] EFI Capsule update explicitly sets dfu_alt_info

[PATCH v4 0/3] EFI Capsule update explicitly sets dfu_alt_info

[Jonathan Humphreys]

For capsule update, explicitly set the dfu_alt_info environment variable
before the DFU operation, and then restore it to the original value.
Previously, the dfu_alt_info environment variable was set with the
set_dfu_alt_info() function.

The problem with setting the capsule update's dfu_alt_info setting in
set_dfu_alt_info() is that set_dfu_alt_info() lacks the context of what DFU
operation is being performed (eg, capsule update, DFU boot, listing the
alt_info, etc) so the capsule update setting was overwriting the setting
for other DFU operations.

Changes from v1:
- use log_err() instead of pr_err()
- create a local copy of the original dfu_alt_info environment variable to
  be used to later restore it, rather than just a pointer to the stored
  value, because changing its value to the EFI capsule update setting will
  cause the original string location to be freed.
- even in the case of a DFU operation error, restore the dfu_alt_info
  environment variable to its original value.
- return EFI_EXIT based error codes if setting environment variables fails
Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250203215351.2840144-1-j-humphreys@ti.com

Changes from v2:
- add patch for xilinx boards to set the dfu_string member with the created
  dfu_alt_info string for capsule updates
Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250206154719.3032322-1-j-humphreys@ti.com

Changes from v3:
- in case that the dfu_alt_info env variable is set and we save a copy
  using strdup(), check that strdup() doesn't fail
- separate the reporting of an error due to the DFU operation from failure
  to restore the dfu_alt_info environment variable. In the latter case,
  just emit a warning and return success for the DFU operation.

Other platforms only set the environment variable.

Do we have a problem that needs to be solved for all problems?
Or is anything special about the Xilinx platform?

If we have a general problem, solving it for Xilinx only would not be
the right approach.

Not really.

git grep \.dfu_string board/

beagle, imx, rpi, ti and others are also doing it.

This is just preparation patch for switch in 3/3 because then Jon would have to 
do this change in his patch.
But the biggest reason is when 2/3 is applied, capsule update will stop to work 
on our platform and I wanted to make sure that we can avoid it.

Thanks,
Michal

But why do we have platforms that don't?

I'm not aware of the history of the Xilinx platforms and why they didn't,
but Michal has fixed this.  I'm not aware of any other platforms not
setting .dfu_string.

It has never been wired like this from the beginning.
In April 2022 the patch
741ef867288b ("capsule: board: Add information needed for capsule updates")
added description for capsules without defining dfu_string because dfu_alt_info 
has been properly generated.

[PATCH v4 2/3] efi_firmware: set EFI capsule dfu_alt_info env explicitly

[Jonathan Humphreys]

The current implementation of EFI capsule update uses set_dfu_alt_info() to
set the dfu_alt_info environment variable with the settings it requires.
However, set_dfu_alt_info() is doing this for all DFU operations, even
those unrelated to capsule update.

Thus other uses of DFU, such as DFU boot which sets its own value for the
dfu_alt_info environment variable, will have that setting overwritten with
the capsule update setting. Similarly, any user defined value for the
dfu_alt_info environment variable would get overwritten when any DFU
operation was performed, including simply performing a "dfu 0 list"
command.

The solution is stop using the set_dfu_alt_info() mechanism to set the
dfu_alt_info environment variable and instead explicitly set it to the
capsule update's setting just before performing the capsule update's DFU
operation, and then restore the environment variable back to its original
value.

This patch implements the explicit setting and restoring of the
dfu_alt_info environment variable as part of the EFI capsule update
operation.

The fix is fully implemented in a subsequent patch that removes the capsule
update dfu_alt_info support in set_dfu_alt_info().

[PATCH v4 3/3] board: remove capsule update support in set_dfu_alt_info()

[Jonathan Humphreys]

Now that capsule update sets the dfu_alt_info environment variable
explicitly, there is no need to support it in the set_dfu_alt_info()
function. Decouple SET_DFU_ALT_INFO from EFI_CAPSULE_FIRMWARE_FIT and
EFI_CAPSULE_FIRMWARE_RAW. For many boards, this was the only use of
set_dfu_alt_info() so remove the function entirely.

Fixes: a9e6f01a941f ("efi: Define set_dfu_alt_info() for boards with UEFI capsule update enabled")
