tpm: check event log version before reading final events (2020-05-17 11:46:50 +0200)
----------------------------------------------------------------
EFI fixes for v5.7-rcX:
- fix EFI framebuffer earlycon for wide fonts
- avoid filling screen_info with garbage if the EFI framebuffer is not available
- fix a potential host tool build error due to a symbol clash on x86
- work around a EFI firmware bug regarding the binary format of the TPM final events table
- fix a missing memory free by reworking the E820 table sizing routine to not do the allocation in the first place
- add CPER parsing for firmware errors

maintainerPATCH 1/7 efi/libstub: Avoid returning uninitialized data from setup_graphics()
From: Heinrich Schuchardt <[email protected]>
Currently, setup_graphics() ignores the return value of efi_setup_gop(). As AllocatePool() does not zero out memory, the screen information table will contain uninitialized data in this case.
We should free the screen information table if efi_setup_gop() returns an error code.

maintainerPATCH 2/7 efi/earlycon: Fix early printk for wider fonts
In reply to Ard BiesheuvelFrom: Dave Young <[email protected]>
When I play with terminus fonts I noticed the efi early printk does not work because the earlycon code assumes font width is 8.
Here add the code to adapt with larger fonts. Tested with all kinds of kernel built-in fonts on my laptop. Also tested with a local draft patch for 14x28 !bold terminus font.

maintainerPATCH 3/7 efi/libstub/x86: Avoid EFI map buffer alloc in allocate_e820()
In reply to Ard BiesheuvelFrom: Lenny Szubowicz <[email protected]>
In allocate_e820(), call the EFI get_memory_map() service directly instead of indirectly via efi_get_memory_map(). This avoids allocation of a buffer and return of the full EFI memory map, which is not needed here and would otherwise need to be freed.
Routine allocate_e820() only needs to know how many EFI memory descriptors there are in the map to allocate an adequately sized e820ext buffer, if it's needed. Note that since efi_get_memory_map() returns a memory map buffer sized with extra headroom, allocate_e820() now needs to explicitly factor that into the e820ext size calculation.

maintainerPATCH 4/7 efi: cper: Add support for printing Firmware Error Record Reference
In reply to Ard BiesheuvelFrom: Punit Agrawal <[email protected]>
While debugging a boot failure, the following unknown error record was seen in the boot logs.
<...>
BERT: Error records from previous boot:
[Hardware Error]: event severity: fatal
[Hardware Error]: Error 0, type: fatal
[Hardware Error]: section type: unknown, 81212a96-09ed-4996-9471-8d729c8e69ed

[Hardware Error]: 00000030: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................
<...>On further investigation, it was found that the error record with UUID (81212a96-09ed-4996-9471-8d729c8e69ed) has been defined in the UEFI Specification at least since v2.4 and has recently had additional fields defined in v2.7 Section N.2.10 Firmware Error Record Reference.
Add support for parsing and printing the defined fields to give users a chance to figure out what went wrong.

make: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:303: bzImage] Error 2
The issue is with the _end variable that was added, to hold the end of the compressed kernel from zoffsets.h (ZO__end). The name clashes with the linker-defined _end symbol that indicates the end of the build program itself.
Even when there is no compile-time error, this causes build to use memory past the end of its .bss section.
To solve this, mark _end as static, and for symmetry, mark the rest of the variables that keep track of symbols from the compressed kernel as static as well.

maintainerPATCH 7/7 tpm: check event log version before reading final events
In reply to Ard BiesheuvelFrom: Loic Yhuel <[email protected]>
This fixes the boot issues since 5.3 on several Dell models when the TPM is enabled. Depending on the exact grub binary, booting the kernel would freeze early, or just report an error parsing the final events log.
We get an event log in the SHA-1 format, which doesn't have a tcg_efi_specid_event_head in the first event, and there is a final events table which doesn't match the crypto agile format. __calc_tpm2_event_size reads bad "count" and "efispecid->num_algs", and either fails, or loops long enough for the machine to be appear frozen.
So we now only parse the final events table, which is per the spec always supposed to be in the crypto agile format, when we got a event log in this format.

What usually happens is that Ingo applies the patches piecemeal, ignoring the tag altogether, so without any coordination between you as x86 maintainers or communication back to me, that is what i was expecting to happen this time as well.
Note that I have another PR pending since two weeks ago [0].
So if you want to start dealing with the EFI trees in a different way from now on, that is perfectly fine with me, but please align with Ingo and Thomas first.

Yes, please. Your pull request really do not need any special handling.
Please add a unique signed tag to each pull request and stick the description, e.g.
" EFI fixes for v5.7-rcX:
- fix EFI framebuffer earlycon for wide fonts
- avoid filling screen_info with garbage...."
into the tag which gives us the merge commit message automagically.
Thanks

Ping?
Did you want to make your tags unique from the next pull request onwards and I were supposed to pull this one as is?
What usually happens is that Ingo applies the patches piecemeal, ignoring the tag altogether, so without any coordination between you as x86 maintainers or communication back to me, that is what i was expecting to happen this time as well.

Note that I have another PR pending since two weeks ago [0].

Sure.
In that case, please pull these changes from
efi-fixes-for-v5.7-rc6
instead, and disregard the PR for v5.8. I will respin that, include some patches that came in in the mean time, and tag it in the correct way before resending the PR.
