efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default

2016-03-24T10:01:20Z

commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 upstream. "rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required to POST the hardware. These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

efi: Use ucs2_as_utf8 in efivarfs instead of open coding a bad version

2016-03-24T10:01:18Z

commit e0d64e6a880e64545ad7d55786aa84ab76bac475 upstream. Translate EFI's UCS-2 variable names to UTF-8 instead of just assuming all variable names fit in ASCII.

efivarfs: Ensure VariableName is NUL-terminated

2015-05-20T12:25:55Z

commit c57dcb566d3d866a302a1da2e06344bec31d5bcd upstream. Some buggy firmware implementations update VariableNameSize on success such that it does not include the final NUL character which results in garbage in the efivarfs name entries. Use kzalloc on the efivar_entry (as is done in efivars.c) to ensure that the name is always NUL-terminated. The buggy firmware is: BIOS Information Vendor: Intel Corp.

efivarfs: 'efivarfs_file_write' function reorganization

2014-03-04T16:16:16Z

This reorganization removes useless 'bytes' prior assignment and uses 'memdup_user' instead 'kmalloc' + 'copy_from_user'. Signed-off-by: Geyslan G. Bem Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming

consolidate simple ->d_delete() instances

2013-11-16T03:04:17Z

Rename simple_delete_dentry() to always_delete_dentry() and export it. Export simple_dentry_operations, while we are at it, and get rid of their duplicates Signed-off-by: Al Viro

efivarfs: we can use simple_lookup() now

Don't pass inode to ->d_hash() and ->d_compare()

2013-06-29T08:57:36Z

Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry->d_sb). A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode - the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply treated as cache miss.

efivarfs: Never return ENOENT from firmware again

2013-05-13T19:12:10Z

Previously in 1fa7e69 efi_status_to_err() translated firmware status EFI_NOT_FOUND to -EIO instead of -ENOENT for efivarfs operations to avoid confusion. After refactoring in e14ab23, it is also used in other places where the translation may be unnecessary. So move the translation to efivarfs specific code. Also return EOF for reading zero-length files, which is what users would expect.
