Just like with PCI options ROMs, which we save in the setup_efi_pci*
functions from arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c, the EFI code / ROM itself
sometimes may contain data which is useful/necessary for peripheral drivers
to have access to.
Specifically the EFI code may contain an embedded copy of firmware which
needs to be (re)loaded into the peripheral. Normally such firmware would be
part of linux-firmware, but in some cases this is not feasible, for 2
reasons:
1) The firmware is customized for a specific use-case of the chipset / use
with a specific hardware model, so we cannot have a single firmware file
for the chipset. E.g. touchscreen controller firmwares are compiled
specifically for the hardware model they are used with, as they are
calibrated for a specific model digitizer.
2) Despite repeated attempts we have failed to get permission to
redistribute the firmware. This is especially a problem with customized
firmwares, these get created by the chip vendor for a specific ODM and the
copyright may partially belong with the ODM, so the chip vendor cannot
give a blanket permission to distribute these.
This commit adds support for finding peripheral firmware embedded in the
EFI code and making this available to peripheral drivers through the
standard firmware loading mechanism.
Note we check the EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE for embedded firmware near the end
of start_kernel(), just before calling rest_init(), this is on purpose
because the typical EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE memory-segment is too large for
early_memremap(), so the check must be done after mm_init(). This relies
on EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE not being free-ed until efi_free_boot_services()
is called, which means that this will only work on x86 for now.

Changes in v6:
-Rework code to remove casts from if (prefix == mem) comparison
-Use SHA256 hashes instead of crc32 sums
-Add new READING_FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED read_file_id and use it
-Call security_kernel_read_file(NULL, READING_FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED)
to check if this is allowed before looking at EFI embedded fw
-Document why we are not using the PI Firmware Volume protocol
Changes in v5:
-Rename the EFI_BOOT_SERVICES flag to EFI_PRESERVE_BS_REGIONS
Changes in v4:
-Drop note in docs about EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_PROTOCOL, it is not part of
UEFI proper, so the EFI maintainers don't want us referring people to it
-Use new EFI_BOOT_SERVICES flag
-Put the new fw_get_efi_embedded_fw() function in its own fallback_efi.c
file which only gets built when EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE is selected
-Define an empty stub for fw_get_efi_embedded_fw() in fallback.h hwen
EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE is not selected, to avoid the need for #ifdefs
in firmware_loader/main.c
-Properly call security_kernel_post_read_file() on the firmware returned
by efi_get_embedded_fw() to make sure that we are allowed to use it
Changes in v3:
-Fix the docs using "efi-embedded-fw" as property name instead of
"efi-embedded-firmware"
Changes in v2:
-Rebased on driver-core/driver-core-next
-Add documentation describing the EFI embedded firmware mechanism to:
Documentation/driver-api/firmware/request_firmware.rst
-Add a new EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE Kconfig bool and only build the embedded
fw support if this is set. This is an invisible option which should be
selected by drivers which need this
-Remove the efi_embedded_fw_desc and dmi_system_id-s for known devices
from the efi-embedded-fw code, instead drivers using this are expected to
export a dmi_system_id array, with each entries' driver_data pointing to a
efi_embedded_fw_desc struct and register this with the efi-embedded-fw code
-Use kmemdup to make a copy instead of efi_mem_reserve()-ing the firmware,
this avoids us messing with the EFI memmap and avoids the need to make
changes to efi_mem_desc_lookup()
-Make the firmware-loader code only fallback to efi_get_embedded_fw() if the
passed in device has the "efi-embedded-firmware" device-property bool set
-Skip usermodehelper fallback when "efi-embedded-firmware" device-property
is set

+EFI embedded firmware support
+=============================
+
+On some devices the system's EFI code / ROM may contain an embedded copy
+of firmware for some of the system's integrated peripheral devices and
+the peripheral's Linux device-driver needs to access this firmware.
+
+A device driver which needs this can describe the firmware it needs
+using an efi_embedded_fw_desc struct:
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/efi_embedded_fw.h
+ :functions: efi_embedded_fw_desc
+
+The EFI embedded-fw code works by scanning all EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE memory
+segments for an eight byte sequence matching prefix, if the prefix is found it
+then does a crc32 over length bytes and if that matches makes a copy of length
+bytes and adds that to its list with found firmwares.
+
+To avoid doing this somewhat expensive scan on all systems, dmi matching is
+used. Drivers are expected to export a dmi_system_id array, with each entries'
+driver_data pointing to an efi_embedded_fw_desc.
+
+To register this array with the efi-embedded-fw code, a driver needs to:
+
+1. Always be builtin to the kernel or store the dmi_system_id array in a
+ separate object file which always gets builtin.
+
+2. Add an extern declaration for the dmi_system_id array to
+ include/linux/efi_embedded_fw.h.
+
+3. Add the dmi_system_id array to the embedded_fw_table in
+ drivers/firmware/efi/embedded-firmware.c wrapped in a #ifdef testing that
+ the driver is being builtin.
+
+4. Add "select EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE if EFI_STUB" to its Kconfig entry.
+
+The request_firmware() function will always first try to load firmware with
+the specified name directly from the disk, so the EFI embedded-fw can always
+be overridden by placing a file under /lib/firmare.
+
+To make request_firmware() fallback to trying EFI embedded firmwares after this,
+the driver must set a boolean "efi-embedded-firmware" device-property on the
+device before passing it to request_firmware(). Note that this disables the
+usual usermodehelper fallback, so you may want to only set this on systems
+which match your dmi_system_id array.
+
+Once the device-property is set, the driver can use the regular
+request_firmware() function to get the firmware, using the name filled in
+in the efi_embedded_fw_desc.
+
+Note that:
+
+1. The code scanning for EFI embbedded-firmware runs near the end
+ of start_kernel(), just before calling rest_init(). For normal drivers and
+ subsystems using subsys_initcall() to register themselves this does not
+ matter. This means that code running earlier cannot use EFI
+ embbedded-firmware.
+
+2. ATM the EFI embedded-fw code assumes that firmwares always start at an offset
+ which is a multiple of 8 bytes, if this is not true for your case send in
+ a patch to fix this.
+
+3. ATM the EFI embedded-fw code only works on x86 because other archs free
+ EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE before the EFI embedded-fw code gets a chance to
+ scan it.
+
+4. The current brute-force scanning of EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE is an ad-hoc
+ brute-force solution. There has been discussion to use the PI spec's
+ Firmware Volume protocol. This has been rejected because the FV Protocol
+ relies on *internal* interfaces of PI spec, and:
+ 1. The The PI spec does not define firmware at all
+ 2. The internal interfaces of PI Spec does not guarantee any backward
+ compatibility. Any implementation details in FV may be subject to change,
+ and may vary system to system. Supporting the FV Protocol would be
+ difficult as it is purposely ambiguous.
