[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 096/130] arm64/efi: map the entire UEFI vendor string before reading it

Show all headers | View raw

3.19.8-ckt6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

commit f91b1feada0b6f0a4d33648155b3ded2c4e0707e upstream.

At boot, the UTF-16 UEFI vendor string is copied from the system
table into a char array with a size of 100 bytes. However, this
size of 100 bytes is also used for memremapping() the source,
which may not be sufficient if the vendor string exceeds 50
UTF-16 characters, and the placement of the vendor string inside
a 4 KB page happens to leave the end unmapped.

So use the correct '100 * sizeof(efi_char16_t)' for the size of
the mapping.
