higher address
Following warning is sometimes observed while booting my servers:
[ 3.594838] DMA: preallocated 4096 KiB GFP_KERNEL pool for atomic allocations
[ 3.602918] swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1
...
[ 3.851862] DMA: preallocated 1024 KiB GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA pool for atomic allocation
If 'nokaslr' boot option is set, the warning always happens.
On x86, ZONE_DMA is small zone at the first 16MB of physical address
space. When this problem happens, most of that space seems to be used by
decompressed kernel. Thereby, there is not enough space at DMA_ZONE to
meet the request of DMA pool allocation.
The commit 2f77465b05b1 ("x86/efistub: Avoid placing the kernel below
LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR") tried to fix this problem by introducing lower
bound of allocation.
But the fix is not complete.
efi_random_alloc() allocates pages by following steps.
1. Count total available slots ('total_slots')
2. Select a slot ('target_slot') to allocate randomly
3. Calculate a starting address ('target') to be included target_slot
4. Allocate pages, which starting address is 'target'
In step 1, 'alloc_min' is used to offset the starting address of memory
chunk. But in step 3 'alloc_min' is not considered at all. As the
result, 'target' can be miscalculated and become lower than 'alloc_min'.
When KASLR is disabled, 'target_slot' is always 0 and the problem
happens everytime if the EFI memory map of the system meets the
condition.
Fix this problem by calculating 'target' considering 'alloc_min'.

The EFI stub's kernel placement logic randomizes the physical placement
of the kernel by taking all available memory into account, and picking a
region at random, based on a random seed.
When KASLR is disabled, this seed is set to 0x0, and this results in the
lowest available region of memory to be selected for loading the kernel,
even if this is below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR. Some of this memory is
typically reserved for the GFP_DMA region, to accommodate masters that
can only access the first 16 MiB of system memory.
Even if such devices are rare these days, we may still end up with a
warning in the kernel log, as reported by Tom:
swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0
Fix this by tweaking the random allocation logic to accept a low bound
on the placement, and set it to LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR.

x86 will need to limit the kernel memory allocation to the lowest 512
MiB of memory, to match the behavior of the existing bare metal KASLR
physical randomization logic. So in preparation for that, add a limit
parameter to efi_random_alloc() and wire it up.

The logic in efi_random_alloc() will iterate over the memory map twice,
once to count the number of candidate slots, and another time to locate
the chosen slot after randomization.
If there is insufficient memory to do the allocation, the second loop
will run to completion without actually having located a slot, but we
currently return EFI_SUCCESS in this case, as we fail to initialize
status to the appropriate error value of EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES.

The UEFI spec does not mention or reason about the configured size of
the virtual address space at all, but it does mention that all memory
should be identity mapped using a page size of 4 KiB.
This means that a LPA2 capable system that has any system memory outside
of the 48-bit addressable physical range and follows the spec to the
letter may serve page allocation requests from regions of memory that
the kernel cannot access unless it was built with LPA2 support and
enables it at runtime.
So let's ensure that all page allocations are limited to the 48-bit
range.

The EFI spec is not very clear about which permissions are being given
when allocating pages of a certain type. However, it is quite obvious
that EFI_LOADER_CODE is more likely to permit execution than
EFI_LOADER_DATA, which becomes relevant once we permit booting the
kernel proper with the firmware's 1:1 mapping still active.
Ostensibly, recent systems such as the Surface Pro X grant executable
permissions to EFI_LOADER_CODE regions but not EFI_LOADER_DATA regions.

Expose the EFI boot time memory map to the kernel via a configuration
table. This is arch agnostic and enables future changes that remove the
dependency on DT on architectures that don't otherwise rely on it.

Currently, struct efi_boot_memmap is a struct that is passed around
between callers of efi_get_memory_map() and the users of the resulting
data, and which carries pointers to various variables whose values are
provided by the EFI GetMemoryMap() boot service.
This is overly complex, and it is much easier to carry these values in
the struct itself. So turn the struct into one that carries these data
items directly, including a flex array for the variable number of EFI
memory descriptors that the boot service may return.

If the system exposes memory regions with the EFI_MORE_RELIABLE
attribute, it is implied that it is intended to be used for allocations
that are relatively important, such as the kernel's static image.
Since efi_random_alloc() is mostly (only) used for allocating space for
the kernel image, let's update it to take this into account, and
disregard all memory without the EFI_MORE_RELIABLE attribute if there is
sufficient memory available that does have this attribute.
Note that this change only affects booting with randomization enabled.
In other cases, the EFI stub runs the kernel image in place unless its
placement is unsuitable for some reason (i.e., misaligned, or its BSS
overlaps with another allocation), and it is left to the bootloader to
ensure that the kernel was loaded into EFI_MORE_RELIABLE memory if this
is desired.

The EFI stub random allocator used for kaslr on arm64 has a subtle
bug. In function get_entry_num_slots() which counts the number of
possible allocation "slots" for the image in a given chunk of free
EFI memory, "last_slot" can become negative if the chunk is smaller
than the requested allocation size.
The test "if (first_slot > last_slot)" doesn't catch it because
both first_slot and last_slot are unsigned.
I chose not to make them signed to avoid problems if this is ever
used on architectures where there are meaningful addresses with the
top bit set. Instead, fix it with an additional test against the
allocation size.
This can cause a boot failure in addition to a loss of randomisation
due to another bug in the arm64 stub fixed separately.

The implementation of efi_random_alloc() arbitrarily truncates the
provided random seed to 16 bits, which limits the granularity of the
randomly chosen allocation offset in memory. This is currently only
an issue if the size of physical memory exceeds 128 GB, but going
forward, we will reduce the allocation alignment to 64 KB, and this
means we need to increase the granularity to ensure that the random
memory allocations are distributed evenly.
We will need to switch to 64-bit arithmetic for the multiplication,
but this does not result in 64-bit integer intrinsic calls on ARM or
on i386.

The EFI stub uses a per-architecture #define for the minimum base
and size alignment of page allocations, which is set to 4 KB for
all architecures except arm64, which uses 64 KB, to ensure that
allocations can always be (un)mapped efficiently, regardless of
the page size used by the kernel proper, which could be a kexec'ee
The API wrappers around page based allocations assume that this
alignment is always taken into account, and so efi_free() will
also round up its size argument to EFI_ALLOC_ALIGN.
Currently, efi_random_alloc() does not honour this alignment for
the allocated size, and so freeing such an allocation may result
in unrelated memory to be freed, potentially leading to issues
after boot. So let's round up size in efi_random_alloc() as well.

efi_random_alloc() is only used on arm64, but as it shares a source
file with efi_random_get_seed(), the latter will pull in the former
on other architectures as well.
Let's take advantage of the fact that libstub is a static library,
and so the linker will only incorporate objects that are needed to
satisfy dependencies in other objects. This means we can move the
random alloc code to a separate source file that gets built
unconditionally, but only used when needed.
