x86/efistub: Use 1:1 file:memory mapping for PE/COFF .compat section

x86/efistub: Use 1:1 file:memory mapping for PE/COFF .compat section

commit 1ad55cecf22f05f1c884adf63cc09d3c3e609ebf upstream.

The .compat section is a dummy PE section that contains the address of
the 32-bit entrypoint of the 64-bit kernel image if it is bootable from
32-bit firmware (i.e., CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y)

This section is only 8 bytes in size and is only referenced from the
loader, and so it is placed at the end of the memory view of the image,
to avoid the need for padding it to 4k, which is required for sections
appearing in the middle of the image.

Unfortunately, this violates the PE/COFF spec, and even if most EFI
loaders will work correctly (including the Tianocore reference
implementation), PE loaders do exist that reject such images, on the
basis that both the file and memory views of the file contents should be
described by the section headers in a monotonically increasing manner
without leaving any gaps.

So reorganize the sections to avoid this issue. This results in a slight
padding overhead (< 4k) which can be avoided if desired by disabling
CONFIG_EFI_MIXED (which is only needed in rare cases these days)

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.

x86/boot: Split off PE/COFF .data section

commit 34951f3c28bdf6481d949a20413b2ce7693687b2 upstream.

Describe the code and data of the decompressor binary using separate
.text and .data PE/COFF sections, so that we will be able to map them
using restricted permissions once we increase the section and file
alignment sufficiently. This avoids the need for memory mappings that
are writable and executable at the same time, which is something that
is best avoided for security reasons.

x86/boot: Construct PE/COFF .text section from assembler

commit efa089e63b56bdc5eca754b995cb039dd7a5457e upstream.

Now that the size of the setup block is visible to the assembler, it is
possible to populate the PE/COFF header fields from the asm code
directly, instead of poking the values into the binary using the build
tool. This will make it easier to reorganize the section layout without
having to tweak the build tool in lockstep.

This change has no impact on the resulting bzImage binary.

x86/boot: Derive file size from _edata symbol

commit aeb92067f6ae994b541d7f9752fe54ed3d108bcc upstream.

Tweak the linker script so that the value of _edata represents the
decompressor binary's file size rounded up to the appropriate alignment.
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.

While adding _edata to the sed regex that parses the compressed
vmlinux's symbol list, tweak the regex a bit for conciseness.

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

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.

commit 8eace5b3555606e684739bef5bcdfcfe68235257 upstream.

Now that the EFI stub decompresses the kernel and hands over to the
decompressed image directly, there is no longer a need to provide a
decompression buffer as part of the .BSS allocation of the PE/COFF
image. It also means the PE/COFF image can be loaded anywhere in memory,
and setting the preferred image base is unnecessary. So drop the
handling of this from the header and from the build tool.

x86/boot: Remove the 'bugger off' message

commit 768171d7ebbce005210e1cf8456f043304805c15 upstream.

Ancient (pre-2003) x86 kernels could boot from a floppy disk straight from
the BIOS, using a small real mode boot stub at the start of the image
where the BIOS would expect the boot record (or boot block) to appear.

Due to its limitations (kernel size < 1 MiB, no support for IDE, USB or
El Torito floppy emulation), this support was dropped, and a Linux aware
bootloader is now always required to boot the kernel from a legacy BIOS.

To smoothen this transition, the boot stub was not removed entirely, but
replaced with one that just prints an error message telling the user to
install a bootloader.

As it is unlikely that anyone doing direct floppy boot with such an
ancient kernel is going to upgrade to v6.5+ and expect that this boot
method still works, printing this message is kind of pointless, and so
it should be possible to remove the logic that emits it.

Let's free up this space so it can be used to expand the PE header in a
subsequent patch.
