This option allows userspace to pass the RSDP address to the kernel, which
makes it possible for a user to modify the workings of hardware. Reject
the option when the kernel is locked down. This requires some reworking
of the existing RSDP command line logic, since the early boot code also
makes use of a command-line passed RSDP when locating the SRAT table
before the lockdown code has been initialised. This is achieved by
separating the command line RSDP path in the early boot code from the
generic RSDP path, and then copying the command line RSDP into boot
params in the kernel proper if lockdown is not enabled. If lockdown is
enabled and an RSDP is provided on the command line, this will only be
used when parsing SRAT (which shouldn't permit kernel code execution)
and will be ignored in the rest of the kernel.

(Modified by Matthew Garrett in order to handle the early boot RSDP
environment)

I'm not sure why this series get posted quickly again.  As for this
patch it was restructured according the early rsdp parsing code, so
personally I think keep the original Reviewed-by is questionable and it
needs another review.  But I did not find time to read it carefully.

Add several cc to void it slipped.

Thanks

AFAICT, this looks like it would break current usage: get_rsdp_addr()
needs to call get_acpi_rsdp() which you've now called
get_cmdline_acpi_rsdp() to parse "acpi_rsdp=" but it ain't happening
anymore.

Where the parsing is happening now is in get_acpi_srat_table() which is
not present in configs with

#if defined(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE) && defined(CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE)

false and thus not available to early code anymore.

I think the cleaner/easier approach would be to clear
boot_params->acpi_rsdp_addr after SRAT has been parsed in lockdown
configurations so that nothing else uses the supplied RDSP address
anymore. But I could very well be missing something...

Thx.

Also, why isn't an x86 person CCed here? This clearly needs an x86
maintainer's ACK before it goes in?

Thx.

We explicitly don't want to pay attention to the acpi_rsdp kernel
parameter in early boot except for the case of finding the SRAT table,
and we only need that if CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE and
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE are set. However, we *do* want to tell the
actual kernel where the RSDP is if we found it via some other means,
so we can't just clear the boot parameters value. The kernel proper
will parse the command line again and will then (if lockdown isn't
enabled) override the actual value we passed up in boot params. So I
think this is ok?

(Sorry for not Cc:ing x86, clear oversight on my part)

Ok.

Yeah, ok, I see what you're doing there. AFAICT, you do that in

setup_arch->acpi_boot_table_init-> ... -> acpi_os_get_root_pointer()

I hope nothing needs it earlier because then we'll have to restructure
again...

Thx.

Right.

Passing the RSDP via command line is a pretty grotesque hack - we
should just set up boot params in kexec_file, which would leave this
as a problem for legacy kexec and nothing else.
