#1608715 — [PATCH v2 7/7] efi/capsule: Add support for Quark security header

FromJan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>
Date2017-03-24 18:40 +0100
Subject[PATCH v2 7/7] efi/capsule: Add support for Quark security header
Message-ID<toBlU-4TS-19@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1608707
The firmware for Quark X102x prepends a security header to the capsule
which is needed to support the mandatory secure boot on this processor.
The header can be detected by checking for the "_CSH" signature and -
to avoid any GUID conflict - validating its size field to contain the
expected value. Then we need to look for the EFI header right after the
security header and pass the image displacement in cap_info.

To be minimal invasive and maximal safe, the quirk version of
efi_capsule_identify_image is only effective on Quark processors.

I would slightly differently, i.e. introduce a helper
capsule_identify_image_qrk() and do here something like


#define ICPU(family, model, data) ...

static const struct x86_cpu_id efi_capsule_quirk_ids[] = {
      ICPU(5, 9, qrk_capsule_identify_image),
      {}
};

...
       id = x86_match_cpu(efi_capsule_quirk_ids);
       if (id)
          return ((...)id->data)(...);

       return __efi_capsule_identify_image(cap_info, header,  hdr_bytes);

The series looks good to me from code prospective. It's clean and
understandable, though I have couple of comments (see related
patches).
Please, address them.

I wasn't able to test it, thus FWIW:

Done, also the kbuild reboot finding and another build issue along that.
Will send v3 after testing again (unfortunately not on the Galileo - my
board died).

BTW,

Thanks for taking the time to remove the __func__ stuff all over the place.

I'll try to test this out for you. I found that the current BSP Intel is 
releasing has some sort of GUI that downloads an image to a board (which 
completely fails for me on the Galileo I have)... not sure if you have 
different results with the stuff from the Intel website but it's 
non-functional for me :(

I'd like to suggest to you adding something to Documentation describing 
how to load and trigger a capsule update. For example on Quark you need 
to use the EFI reset method to cause capsule update to work.

Could you add a patch to your series for Documentation detailing:

1. Entry criteria (needing to boot in EFI reset mode)
1. Description of loading a capsule
3. Description of triggering the update (reboot)
4. Verifying the update succeeded (actually is this possible right now?)

I found the Galileo capsules *.cap in the jar archives of the Galileo
firmware update packages, and they work.

cat /path/to/capsule.cap > /dev/efi_capsule_loader

The reset method is auto-adjusted by the kernel when an update is
pending. So firmware update is now seriously simple. But I can write a 2
or 3-lines readme if it's preferred.

dmidecode -> check BIOS version information (vendor-specific)

Using myself as a benchmark I'd say, never assume anything is idiot 
proof to a sufficiently talented idiot, better to document it to be sure 
and give you're spinning a new patch for some comments from Andy I'd say 
it's a worthwhile addition to the set.
