Subject: [PATCH v10 0/1] Enable capsule loader interface for efi firmware updating

From: "Kweh, Hock Leong" <[email protected]>

Dear maintainers & communities,

This patchset is created on top of Matt's patchset:
1.)https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/7/390
"[PATCH 1/2] efi: Move efi_status_to_err() to efi.h"
2.)https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/7/391
"[PATCH 2/2] efi: Capsule update support"

It expose a misc char interface for user to upload the capsule binary and
calling efi_capsule_update() API to pass the binary to EFI firmware.

The steps to update efi firmware are:
1.) cat firmware.cap > /dev/efi_capsule_loader
2.) reboot

Any failed upload error message will be returned while doing "cat" through
file operation write() function call.

Tested the code with Intel Quark Galileo GEN1 platform.

Thanks.

changelog v10:
* rebase to v4.4
* added efi runtime services check at efi_capsule_loader_init()
* fixed checkpatch issues
* code clean up base on Borislav's comments

changelog v9:
* squash 2 patches to become 1 patch
* change function param to pass in cap_info instead of file structure
* perform both alloc inside efi_capsule_setup_info()
* change to use multiple exit labels instead of one function call
* further code clean up base on Matt's comments

changelog v8:
* further clean up on kunmap() & efi_free_all_buff_pages()
* design enhanced to support 1st few writes are less than efi header size
* removed support to padding capsule and flag error once the upload size
bigger than header defined size

changelog v7:
* add successful message printed in dmesg
* shorten the code in efi_capsule_write() by splitting out
efi_capsule_setup_info() & efi_capsule_submit_update() functions
* design added capability to support multiple file open action
* re-write those comments by following standard format
* design added the "uncomplete" error return through flush() file operation

changelog v6:
* clean up on error handling for better code flow and review
* clean up on pr_err() for critical error only
* design taking care writing block that below PAGE_SIZE
* once error has occurred, design will return -EIO until file close
* document design expectations/scenarios in the code
* change the dynamic allocation cap_info struct to statically allocated

changelog v5:
* changed to new design without leveraging firmware_class API
* use misc_char device interface instead of sysfs
* error return through file Write() function call

Subject: [PATCH v10 1/1] efi: a misc char interface for user to update efi firmware

From: "Kweh, Hock Leong" <[email protected]>

Introducing a kernel module to expose capsule loader interface
(misc char device file note) for user to upload capsule binaries.

Example method to load the capsule binary:
cat firmware.bin > /dev/efi_capsule_loader

This patch also export efi_capsule_supported() function symbol for
verifying the submitted capsule header in this kernel module.

This patch ? introduces a kernel module to expose a capsule loader
interface... for a user ...

1. Should be a separate patch
2. Suggested, rewording for that patch log

2/2 Title
This patch exports efi_capsule_supported to enable verification of the
capsule header.

That said - who is the user of this symbol ? Why is it needed ? Anyway
please consider splitting and rewording.

This option exposes a loader interface... for a user to load an EFI
capsule.

A capsule isn't necessarily exclusively for updating of firmware either
AFAIK - so I suggest dropping.

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/unif
ied-extensible-firmware-interface/efi-capsule-specification.html

Quote "Capsules were designed for and are intended to be the major
vehicle for delivering firmware volume changes. There is no requirement
that capsules be limited to that function."

The description needs to be reworded.

In addition to freeing buffer pages, we flag NO_FURTHER_WRITE_ACTION on
error and will cease to process data in subsequent efi_capsule_write()
calls.

What does this mutex really do ? You hold it here around
efi_capsule_supported() in the call

chain efi_capsule_write() => efi_capsule_setup_info()

and then again inside of efi_capsule_submit_update() the call chain

chain efi_capsule_write() => efi_capsule_submit_update()

So if its valid to ensure you are synchronizing parallel contexts with
-respect to calls into efi_capsule_supported() and
efi_capsule_submit_update() why aren't you holding that lock for the
duration of efi_capsule_write() - couldn't cap_info->page_bytes_remain
as an example equally be racy ?

Again - if you need a mutex for efi_capsule_update() why don't you need
a mutex for cap_info->index updates looks racy...

A user-space tool.. sequentially

A user should..

On error -EIO will be returned and capsule loading will be abandoned.

An EFI capsule header.... in as the first data in the first write
operation

Shouldn't this be a pr_err() ?

How are you guaranteeing this index doesn't go negative ? You compare
index < 0 above so the pre-decrement could be negative ... right ?

Shouldn't this be fail_freepage ?

If a capsule is being partially updated then calling this function will
be treated as upload termination and will free completed buffer pages;
in this case -ECANCELLED will be returned.

We will not free successfully submitted pages since EFI update requires
data to be maintained across boot.

You have a memory leak here don't you ?

if I do
for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
fd = open(/dev/your_node);
close(fd);
}

You'll leak that kzalloc...

Huh?

I still don't really see the reasoning for splitting out the export.

When you do the export and use it in a single patch it is *obvious* why
it is being exported.

And there's no need to mention in the commit message that you're
exporting a symbol. People export symbols all the time.

Yes - saw the export down the end of the patchset. Feel free to ignore
that comment.
