x86/boot: Increase section and file alignment to 4k/512

commit 3e3eabe26dc88692d34cf76ca0e0dd331481cc15 upstream.

Align x86 with other EFI architectures, and increase the section
alignment to the EFI page size (4k), so that firmware is able to honour
the section permission attributes and map code read-only and data
non-executable.

There are a number of requirements that have to be taken into account:
- the sign tools get cranky when there are gaps between sections in the
file view of the image
- the virtual offset of each section must be aligned to the image's
section alignment
- the file offset *and size* of each section must be aligned to the
image's file alignment
- the image size must be aligned to the section alignment
- each section's virtual offset must be greater than or equal to the
size of the headers.

In order to meet all these requirements, while avoiding the need for
lots of padding to accommodate the .compat section, the latter is placed
at an arbitrary offset towards the end of the image, but aligned to the
minimum file alignment (512 bytes). The space before the .text section
is therefore distributed between the PE header, the .setup section and
the .compat section, leaving no gaps in the file coverage, making the
signing tools happy.

Tweak the linker script so that the value of _edata represents the

This removes the need to calculate it in the build tool, and will make
it easier to refer to the file size from the header directly in
subsequent changes to the PE header layout.

x86/boot: Define setup size in linker script

commit 093ab258e3fb1d1d3afdfd4a69403d44ce90e360 upstream.

The setup block contains the real mode startup code that is used when
booting from a legacy BIOS, along with the boot_params/setup_data that
is used by legacy x86 bootloaders to pass the command line and initial
ramdisk parameters, among other things.

The setup block also contains the PE/COFF header of the entire combined
image, which includes the compressed kernel image, the decompressor and
the EFI stub.

This PE header describes the layout of the executable image in memory,
and currently, the fact that the setup block precedes it makes it rather
fiddly to get the right values into the right place in the final image.

Let's make things a bit easier by defining the setup_size in the linker
script so it can be referenced from the asm code directly, rather than
having to rely on the build tool to calculate it. For the time being,
add 64 bytes of fixed padding for the .reloc and .compat sections - this
will be removed in a subsequent patch after the PE/COFF header has been
reorganized.

This change has no impact on the resulting bzImage binary when
configured with CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y.

x86/efi: Make the deprecated EFI handover protocol optional

The EFI handover protocol permits a bootloader to invoke the kernel as a
EFI PE/COFF application, while passing a bootparams struct as a third
argument to the entrypoint function call.

This has no basis in the UEFI specification, and there are better ways
to pass additional data to a UEFI application (UEFI configuration
tables, UEFI variables, UEFI protocols) than going around the
StartImage() boot service and jumping to a fixed offset in the loaded
image, just to call a different function that takes a third parameter.

The reason for handling struct bootparams in the bootloader was that the
EFI stub could only load initrd images from the EFI system partition,
and so passing it via struct bootparams was needed for loaders like
GRUB, which pass the initrd in memory, and may load it from anywhere,
including from the network. Another motivation was EFI mixed mode, which
could not use the initrd loader in the EFI stub at all due to 32/64 bit
incompatibilities (which will be fixed shortly [0]), and could not
invoke the ordinary PE/COFF entry point either, for the same reasons.

Given that loaders such as GRUB already carried the bootparams handling
in order to implement non-EFI boot, retaining that code and just passing
bootparams to the EFI stub was a reasonable choice (although defining an
alternate entrypoint could have been avoided.) However, the GRUB side
changes never made it upstream, and are only shipped by some of the
distros in their downstream versions.

In the meantime, EFI support has been added to other Linux architecture
ports, as well as to U-boot and systemd, including arch-agnostic methods
for passing initrd images in memory [1], and for doing mixed mode boot
[2], none of them requiring anything like the EFI handover protocol. So
given that only out-of-tree distro GRUB relies on this, let's permit it
to be omitted from the build, in preparation for retiring it completely
at a later date. (Note that systemd-boot does have an implementation as
well, but only uses it as a fallback for booting images that do not
implement the LoadFile2 based initrd loading method, i.e., v5.8 or older)

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.

Currently, mixed mode is closely tied to the EFI handover protocol

header etc, all of which are rather byzantine and entirely specific
to x86.

Even though no other EFI supported architectures are currently known
that could support something like mixed mode, it still makes sense to
abstract a bit from this, and make it part of a generic Linux on EFI
boot protocol.

To that end, add a .compat section to the mixed mode binary, and populate
it with the PE machine type and entry point address, allowing firmware
implementations to match it to their native machine type, and invoke
non-native binaries using a secondary entry point.

we added a separate .bss section to the PE/COFF header of the compressed

ensure that it has enough headroom to decompress itself.

We can achieve the exact same result by increasing the virtual size of
the .text section, without changing the raw size, which, as per the
PE/COFF specification, requires the loader to zero initialize the delta.

Doing so frees up a slot in the section table, which we will use later
to describe the mixed mode entrypoint.

efi/x86: add headroom to decompressor BSS to account for setup block

In the bootparams struct, init_size defines the static footprint of the
bzImage, counted from the start of the kernel image, i.e., startup_32().

The PE/COFF metadata declares the same size for the entire image, but this
time, the image includes the setup block as well, and so the space reserved
by UEFI is a bit too small. This usually doesn't matter, since we normally
relocate the kernel into a memory allocation of the correct size.
But in the unlikely case that the image happens to be loaded at exactly
the preferred offset, we skip this relocation, and execute the image in
place, stepping on memory beyond the provided allocation, which may be
in use for other purposes.

Let's fix this by adding the size of the setup block to the image size as
declared in the PE/COFF header.

x86/boot: Introduce kernel_info

The relationships between the headers are analogous to the various data
sections:

setup_header = .data
boot_params/setup_data = .bss

What is missing from the above list? That's right:

kernel_info = .rodata

We have been (ab)using .data for things that could go into .rodata or .bss for
a long time, for lack of alternatives and -- especially early on -- inertia.
Also, the BIOS stub is responsible for creating boot_params, so it isn't
available to a BIOS-based loader (setup_data is, though).

setup_header is permanently limited to 144 bytes due to the reach of the
2-byte jump field, which doubles as a length field for the structure, combined
with the size of the "hole" in struct boot_params that a protected-mode loader
or the BIOS stub has to copy it into. It is currently 119 bytes long, which
leaves us with 25 very precious bytes. This isn't something that can be fixed
without revising the boot protocol entirely, breaking backwards compatibility.

boot_params proper is limited to 4096 bytes, but can be arbitrarily extended
by adding setup_data entries. It cannot be used to communicate properties of
the kernel image, because it is .bss and has no image-provided content.

kernel_info solves this by providing an extensible place for information about
the kernel image. It is readonly, because the kernel cannot rely on a
bootloader copying its contents anywhere, but that is OK; if it becomes
necessary it can still contain data items that an enabled bootloader would be
expected to copy into a setup_data chunk.

Do not bump setup_header version in arch/x86/boot/header.S because it
will be followed by additional changes coming into the Linux/x86 boot
protocol.

x86: boot: Fix EFI stub alignment

We currently align the end of the compressed image to a multiple of
16. However, the PE-COFF header included in the EFI stub says that
the file alignment is 32 bytes, and when adding an EFI signature to
the file it must first be padded to this alignment.

sbsigntool commands warn about this:

warning: file-aligned section .text extends beyond end of file
warning: checksum areas are greater than image size. Invalid section table?

Worse, pesign -at least when creating a detached signature- uses the
hash of the unpadded file, resulting in an invalid signature if
padding is required.

Avoid both these problems by increasing alignment to 32 bytes when
CONFIG_EFI_STUB is enabled.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

x86/efi: Include a .bss section within the PE/COFF headers

The PE/COFF headers currently describe only the initialised-data
portions of the image, and result in no space being allocated for the
uninitialised-data portions. Consequently, the EFI boot stub will end
up overwriting unexpected areas of memory, with unpredictable results.

Fix by including a .bss section in the PE/COFF headers (functionally
equivalent to the init_size field in the bzImage header).
