From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya@xxxxxxxxx>
Presently, when a user process requests the kernel to execute any
efi_runtime_service(), kernel switches the page directory (%cr3) from
swapper_pgd to efi_pgd. Other subsystems in the kernel aren't aware of
this switch and they might think, user space is still valid (i.e. the
user space mappings are still pointing to the process that requested to
run efi_runtime_service()) but in reality it is not so.
A solution for this issue is to use kthread to run
efi_runtime_service(). When a user process requests the kernel to
execute any efi_runtime_service(), kernel queues the work to efi_rts_wq,
a kthread comes along, switches to efi_pgd and executes
efi_runtime_service() in kthread context. Anything that tries to touch
user space addresses while in kthread is terminally broken.
Implementation summary:
-----------------------
1. When user/kernel thread requests to execute efi_runtime_service(),
enqueue work to efi_rts_wq.
2. Caller thread waits for completion until the work is finished because
it's dependent on the return status of efi_runtime_service().
Semantics to pack arguments in efi_runtime_work (has void pointers):
1. If argument is a pointer (of any type), pass it as is.
2. If argument is a value (of any type), address of the value is passed.
Introduce a handler function (called efi_call_rts()) that
1. Understands efi_runtime_work and
2. Invokes the appropriate efi_runtime_service() with the appropriate
arguments
Semantics followed by efi_call_rts() to understand efi_runtime_work:
1. If argument was a pointer, recast it from void pointer to original
pointer type.
2. If argument was a value, recast it from void pointer to original
pointer type and dereference it.
The non-blocking variants of set_variable() and query_variable_info()
should be used while in atomic context. Use of blocking variants like
set_variable() and query_variable_info() while in atomic will issue a
warning ("scheduling wile in atomic") and prints stack trace. Presently,
pstore uses non-blocking variants and hence works fine.
