commit 859748255b43 ("efi: pstore: Omit efivars caching EFI varstore

efi: efivars: drop kobject from efivars_register()

Since commit 0f5b2c69a4cb ("efi: vars: Remove deprecated 'efivars' sysfs
interface") and the removal of the sysfs interface there are no users of
the efivars kobject.

Drop the kobject argument from efivars_register() and add a new
efivar_is_available() helper in favour of the old efivars_kobject().

Note that the new helper uses the prefix 'efivar' (i.e. without an 's')
for consistency with efivar_supports_writes() and the rest of the
interface (except the registration functions).

For the benefit of drivers with optional EFI support, also provide a
dummy implementation of efivar_is_available().

firmware: google: test spinlock on panic path to avoid lockups

Currently the gsmi driver registers a panic notifier as well as reboot and
die notifiers. The callbacks registered are called in atomic and very
limited context - for instance, panic disables preemption and local IRQs,
also all secondary CPUs (not executing the panic path) are shutdown.

With that said, taking a spinlock in this scenario is a dangerous
invitation for lockup scenarios. So, fix that by checking if the spinlock
is free to acquire in the panic notifier callback - if not, bail-out and
avoid a potential hang.

kernel.h: split out panic and oops helpers

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and

There are several purposes of doing this:
- dropping dependency in bug.h
- dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h
- unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain

At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for
the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.

firmware: google: Enable s0ix logging by default

Many moons ago, support was added to the SMI handlers to log s0ix entry
and exit. Early iterations of firmware on Apollo Lake correctly returned
"unsupported" for this new command they did not recognize, but
unfortunately also contained a quirk where this command would cause them
to power down rather than resume from s0ix.

Fixes for this quirk were pushed out long ago, so all APL devices still
in the field should have updated firmware. As such, we no longer need to
have the s0ix_logging_enable be opt-in, where every new platform has to
add this to their kernel commandline parameters. Change it to be on by
default.

In theory we could remove the parameter altogether: updated versions of
Chrome OS containing a kernel with this change would also be coupled
with firmware that behaves properly with these commands. Eventually we
should probably do that. For now, convert this to an opt-out parameter
so there's an emergency valve for people who are deliberately running
old firmware, or as an escape hatch in case of unforeseen regressions.

firmware: gsmi: Drop the use of dma_pool_* API functions

GSMI driver uses dma_pool_* API functions for buffer allocation
because it requires that the SMI buffers are allocated within 32-bit
physical address space. However, this does not work well with IOMMU
since there is no real device and hence no domain associated with the
device.

Since this is not a real device, it does not require any device
address(IOVA) for the buffer allocations. The only requirement is to
ensure that the physical address allocated to the buffer is within
32-bit physical address space. This is because the buffers have
nothing to do with DMA at all. It is required for communication with
firmware executing in SMI mode which has access only to the bottom
4GiB of memory. Hence, this change switches to using a SLAB cache
created with SLAB_CACHE_DMA32 that guarantees that the allocation
happens from the DMA32 memory zone. All calls to dma_pool_* are
replaced with kmem_cache_*.

In addition to that, all the code for managing the dma_pool for GSMI
platform device is dropped.

gsmi: Add GSMI commands to log S0ix info

Add new GSMI commands (GSMI_CMD_LOG_S0IX_SUSPEND = 0xa,
GSMI_CMD_LOG_S0IX_RESUME = 0xb) that allow firmware to log any
information during S0ix suspend/resume paths.

Traditional ACPI suspend S3 involves BIOS both during the suspend and
the resume paths. However, modern suspend type like S0ix does not
involve firmware on either of the paths. This command gives the
firmware an opportunity to log any required information about the
suspend and resume operations e.g. wake sources.

Additionally, this change adds a module parameter to allow platforms
to specifically enable S0ix logging if required. This prevents any
other platforms from unnecessarily making a GSMI call which could have
any side-effects.

Tested by verifying that wake sources are correctly logged in eventlog.

gsmi: Fix bug in append_to_eventlog sysfs handler

The sysfs handler should return the number of bytes consumed, which in the
case of a successful write is the entire buffer. Also fix a bug where
param.data_len was being set to (count - (2 * sizeof(u32))) instead of just
(count - sizeof(u32)). The latter is correct because we skip over the
leading u32 which is our param.type, but we were also incorrectly
subtracting sizeof(u32) on the line where we were actually setting
param.data_len:

param.data_len = count - sizeof(u32);

This meant that for our example event.kernel_software_watchdog with total
length 10 bytes, param.data_len was just 2 prior to this change.

To test, successfully append an event to the log with gsmi sysfs.

efivars: efivar_entry API

There isn't really a formal interface for dealing with EFI variables
or struct efivar_entry. Historically, this has led to various bits of
code directly accessing the generic EFI variable ops, which inherently
ties it to specific EFI variable operations instead of indirectly
using whatever ops were registered with register_efivars(). This lead
to the efivarfs code only working with the generic EFI variable ops
and not CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI.

Encapsulate everything that needs to access '__efivars' inside an
efivar_entry_* API and use the new API in the pstore, sysfs and
efivarfs code.

Much of the efivars code had to be rewritten to use this new API. For
instance, it is now up to the users of the API to build the initial
list of EFI variables in their efivar_init() callback function. The
variable list needs to be passed to efivar_init() which allows us to
keep work arounds for things like implementation bugs in
GetNextVariable() in a central location.

Allowing users of the API to use a callback function to build the list
greatly benefits the efivarfs code which needs to allocate inodes and
dentries for every variable. It previously did this in a racy way
because the code ran without holding the variable spinlock. Both the
sysfs and efivarfs code maintain their own lists which means the two
interfaces can be running simultaneously without interference, though
it should be noted that because no synchronisation is performed it is

efivarfs and users are likely to also require the old sysfs interface,
so it makes sense to allow both to be built.
