[PATCH v8 2/8] efi: Add embedded peripheral firmware support

From: Hans de Goede
Date: Fri Nov 15 2019 - 10:35:54 EST


Just like with PCI options ROMs, which we save in the setup_efi_pci*
functions from arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c, the EFI code / ROM itself
sometimes may contain data which is useful/necessary for peripheral drivers
to have access to.

Specifically the EFI code may contain an embedded copy of firmware which
needs to be (re)loaded into the peripheral. Normally such firmware would be
part of linux-firmware, but in some cases this is not feasible, for 2
reasons:

1) The firmware is customized for a specific use-case of the chipset / use
with a specific hardware model, so we cannot have a single firmware file
for the chipset. E.g. touchscreen controller firmwares are compiled
specifically for the hardware model they are used with, as they are
calibrated for a specific model digitizer.

2) Despite repeated attempts we have failed to get permission to
redistribute the firmware. This is especially a problem with customized
firmwares, these get created by the chip vendor for a specific ODM and the
copyright may partially belong with the ODM, so the chip vendor cannot
give a blanket permission to distribute these.

This commit adds support for finding peripheral firmware embedded in the
EFI code and makes the found firmware available through the new
efi_get_embedded_fw() function.

Support for loading these firmwares through the standard firmware loading
mechanism is added in a follow-up commit in this patch-series.

Note we check the EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE for embedded firmware near the end
of start_kernel(), just before calling rest_init(), this is on purpose
because the typical EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE memory-segment is too large for
early_memremap(), so the check must be done after mm_init(). This relies
on EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE not being free-ed until efi_free_boot_services()
is called, which means that this will only work on x86 for now.

Changes in v8:
- Properly deal with the (theoretical?) case of an EFI segment being
smaller then the fw we are looking for
- Log a warning when efi_get_embedded_fw get called while we did not (yet)
check for embedded firmwares

Changes in v7:
- Split drivers/firmware/efi and drivers/base/firmware_loader changes into
2 patches
- Use new, standalone, lib/crypto/sha256.c code

Changes in v6:
- Rework code to remove casts from if (prefix == mem) comparison
- Use SHA256 hashes instead of crc32 sums
- Add new READING_FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED read_file_id and use it
- Call security_kernel_read_file(NULL, READING_FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED)
to check if this is allowed before looking at EFI embedded fw
- Document why we are not using the UEFI PI Firmware Volume protocol

Changes in v5:
- Rename the EFI_BOOT_SERVICES flag to EFI_PRESERVE_BS_REGIONS

Changes in v4:
- Drop note in docs about EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_PROTOCOL, it is not part of
UEFI proper, so the EFI maintainers don't want us referring people to it
- Use new EFI_BOOT_SERVICES flag
- Put the new fw_get_efi_embedded_fw() function in its own fallback_efi.c
file which only gets built when EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE is selected
- Define an empty stub for fw_get_efi_embedded_fw() in fallback.h hwen
EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE is not selected, to avoid the need for #ifdefs
in firmware_loader/main.c
- Properly call security_kernel_post_read_file() on the firmware returned
by efi_get_embedded_fw() to make sure that we are allowed to use it

Changes in v3:
- Fix the docs using "efi-embedded-fw" as property name instead of
"efi-embedded-firmware"

Changes in v2:
- Rebased on driver-core/driver-core-next
- Add documentation describing the EFI embedded firmware mechanism to:
Documentation/driver-api/firmware/request_firmware.rst
- Add a new EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE Kconfig bool and only build the embedded
fw support if this is set. This is an invisible option which should be
selected by drivers which need this
- Remove the efi_embedded_fw_desc and dmi_system_id-s for known devices
from the efi-embedded-fw code, instead drivers using this are expected to
export a dmi_system_id array, with each entries' driver_data pointing to a
efi_embedded_fw_desc struct and register this with the efi-embedded-fw code
- Use kmemdup to make a copy instead of efi_mem_reserve()-ing the firmware,
this avoids us messing with the EFI memmap and avoids the need to make
changes to efi_mem_desc_lookup()
- Make the firmware-loader code only fallback to efi_get_embedded_fw() if the
passed in device has the "efi-embedded-firmware" device-property bool set
- Skip usermodehelper fallback when "efi-embedded-firmware" device-property
is set
