Subject[PATCH v3] Support ESRT in Xen dom0
Date
fwupd requires access to the EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) to
discover which firmware can be updated by the OS. Currently, Linux does
not expose the ESRT when running as a Xen dom0. Therefore, it is not
possible to use fwupd in a Xen dom0, which is a serious problem for e.g.
Qubes OS.

Before Xen 4.16, this was not fixable due to hypervisor limitations.
The UEFI specification requires the ESRT to be in EfiBootServicesData
memory, which Xen will use for whatever purposes it likes. Therefore,
Linux cannot safely access the ESRT, as Xen may have overwritten it.

Starting with Xen 4.17, Xen checks if the ESRT is in EfiBootServicesData
or EfiRuntimeServicesData memory. If the ESRT is in EfiBootServicesData
memory, Xen allocates some memory of type EfiRuntimeServicesData, copies
the ESRT to it, and finally replaces the ESRT pointer with a pointer to
the copy. Since Xen will not clobber EfiRuntimeServicesData memory,
this ensures that the ESRT can safely be accessed by the OS. It is safe
to access the ESRT under Xen if, and only if, it is in memory of type
EfiRuntimeServicesData.

When running as a Xen dom0, check if the ESRT is in memory of type
EfiRuntimeServicesData, and if it is, parse it as if not running under
Xen. This allows programs such as fwupd which require the ESRT to run
under Xen, and so makes fwupd support in Qubes OS possible.

Changes since v2:

- Massively updated commit message.
- Fetch the ESRT inline in drivers/firmware/efi/esrt.c, instead of using
a single-use helper in drivers/xen/efi.c.

Changes since v1:

- Use a different type (struct xen_efi_mem_info) for memory information
provided by Xen, as Xen reports it in a different way than the
standard Linux functions do.
