10 config EFI_VARS_PSTORE
11 tristate "Register efivars backend for pstore"
16 Say Y here to enable use efivars as a backend to pstore. This
17 will allow writing console messages, crash dumps, or anything
18 else supported by pstore to EFI variables.
20 config EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE
21 bool "Disable using efivars as a pstore backend by default"
22 depends on EFI_VARS_PSTORE
25 Saying Y here will disable the use of efivars as a storage
26 backend for pstore by default. This setting can be overridden
27 using the efivars module's pstore_disable parameter.
29 config EFI_SOFT_RESERVE
30 bool "Reserve EFI Specific Purpose Memory"
31 depends on EFI && EFI_STUB && ACPI_HMAT
34 On systems that have mixed performance classes of memory EFI
35 may indicate specific purpose memory with an attribute (See
36 EFI_MEMORY_SP in UEFI 2.8). A memory range tagged with this
37 attribute may have unique performance characteristics compared
38 to the system's general purpose "System RAM" pool. On the
39 expectation that such memory has application specific usage,
40 and its base EFI memory type is "conventional" answer Y to
41 arrange for the kernel to reserve it as a "Soft Reserved"
42 resource, and set aside for direct-access (device-dax) by
43 default. The memory range can later be optionally assigned to
44 the page allocator by system administrator policy via the
45 device-dax kmem facility. Say N to have the kernel treat this
46 memory as "System RAM" by default.
50 config EFI_DXE_MEM_ATTRIBUTES
51 bool "Adjust memory attributes in EFISTUB"
52 depends on EFI && EFI_STUB && X86
55 UEFI specification does not guarantee all memory to be
56 accessible for both write and execute as the kernel expects
58 Use DXE services to check and alter memory protection
59 attributes during boot via EFISTUB to ensure that memory
60 ranges used by the kernel are writable and executable.
62 config EFI_PARAMS_FROM_FDT
65 Select this config option from the architecture Kconfig if
66 the EFI runtime support gets system table address, memory
67 map address, and other parameters from the device tree.
69 config EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS
72 config EFI_GENERIC_STUB
76 bool "Enable the generic EFI decompressor"
77 depends on EFI_GENERIC_STUB && !ARM
78 select HAVE_KERNEL_GZIP
79 select HAVE_KERNEL_LZ4
80 select HAVE_KERNEL_LZMA
81 select HAVE_KERNEL_LZO
83 select HAVE_KERNEL_ZSTD
85 Create the bootable image as an EFI application that carries the
86 actual kernel image in compressed form, and decompresses it into
87 memory before executing it. For compatibility with non-EFI loaders,
88 the payload can be decompressed and executed by the loader as well,
89 provided that the loader implements the decompression algorithm.
90 (The compression algorithm used is described in the zboot header)
92 config EFI_ARMSTUB_DTB_LOADER
93 bool "Enable the DTB loader"
94 depends on EFI_GENERIC_STUB && !RISCV && !LOONGARCH
97 Select this config option to add support for the dtb= command
98 line parameter, allowing a device tree blob to be loaded into
99 memory from the EFI System Partition by the stub.
101 If the device tree is provided by the platform or by
102 the bootloader this option may not be needed.
103 But, for various development reasons and to maintain existing
104 functionality for bootloaders that do not have such support
105 this option is necessary.
107 config EFI_BOOTLOADER_CONTROL
108 tristate "EFI Bootloader Control"
112 This module installs a reboot hook, such that if reboot() is
113 invoked with a string argument NNN, "NNN" is copied to the
114 "LoaderEntryOneShot" EFI variable, to be read by the
115 bootloader. If the string matches one of the boot labels
116 defined in its configuration, the bootloader will boot once
117 to that label. The "LoaderEntryRebootReason" EFI variable is
118 set with the reboot reason: "reboot" or "shutdown". The
119 bootloader reads this reboot reason and takes particular
120 action according to its policy.
122 config EFI_CAPSULE_LOADER
123 tristate "EFI capsule loader"
126 This option exposes a loader interface "/dev/efi_capsule_loader" for
127 users to load EFI capsules. This driver requires working runtime
128 capsule support in the firmware, which many OEMs do not provide.
130 Most users should say N.
132 config EFI_CAPSULE_QUIRK_QUARK_CSH
133 bool "Add support for Quark capsules with non-standard headers"
134 depends on X86 && !64BIT
135 select EFI_CAPSULE_LOADER
138 Add support for processing Quark X1000 EFI capsules, whose header
139 layout deviates from the layout mandated by the UEFI specification.
142 tristate "EFI Runtime Service Tests Support"
146 This driver uses the efi.<service> function pointers directly instead
147 of going through the efivar API, because it is not trying to test the
148 kernel subsystem, just for testing the UEFI runtime service
149 interfaces which are provided by the firmware. This driver is used
150 by the Firmware Test Suite (FWTS) for testing the UEFI runtime
151 interfaces readiness of the firmware.
152 Details for FWTS are available from:
153 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirmwareTestSuite>
155 Say Y here to enable the runtime services support via /dev/efi_test.
158 config EFI_DEV_PATH_PARSER
161 config APPLE_PROPERTIES
162 bool "Apple Device Properties"
163 depends on EFI_STUB && X86
164 select EFI_DEV_PATH_PARSER
167 Retrieve properties from EFI on Apple Macs and assign them to
168 devices, allowing for improved support of Apple hardware.
169 Properties that would otherwise be missing include the
170 Thunderbolt Device ROM and GPU configuration data.
172 If unsure, say Y if you have a Mac. Otherwise N.
174 config RESET_ATTACK_MITIGATION
175 bool "Reset memory attack mitigation"
178 Request that the firmware clear the contents of RAM after a reboot
179 using the TCG Platform Reset Attack Mitigation specification. This
180 protects against an attacker forcibly rebooting the system while it
181 still contains secrets in RAM, booting another OS and extracting the
182 secrets. This should only be enabled when userland is configured to
183 clear the MemoryOverwriteRequest flag on clean shutdown after secrets
184 have been evicted, since otherwise it will trigger even on clean
187 config EFI_RCI2_TABLE
188 bool "EFI Runtime Configuration Interface Table Version 2 Support"
189 depends on X86 || COMPILE_TEST
191 Displays the content of the Runtime Configuration Interface
192 Table version 2 on Dell EMC PowerEdge systems as a binary
193 attribute 'rci2' under /sys/firmware/efi/tables directory.
195 RCI2 table contains BIOS HII in XML format and is used to populate
196 BIOS setup page in Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator tool.
197 The BIOS setup page contains BIOS tokens which can be configured.
199 Say Y here for Dell EMC PowerEdge systems.
201 config EFI_DISABLE_PCI_DMA
202 bool "Clear Busmaster bit on PCI bridges during ExitBootServices()"
204 Disable the busmaster bit in the control register on all PCI bridges
205 while calling ExitBootServices() and passing control to the runtime
206 kernel. System firmware may configure the IOMMU to prevent malicious
207 PCI devices from being able to attack the OS via DMA. However, since
208 firmware can't guarantee that the OS is IOMMU-aware, it will tear
209 down IOMMU configuration when ExitBootServices() is called. This
210 leaves a window between where a hostile device could still cause
211 damage before Linux configures the IOMMU again.
213 If you say Y here, the EFI stub will clear the busmaster bit on all
214 PCI bridges before ExitBootServices() is called. This will prevent
215 any malicious PCI devices from being able to perform DMA until the
216 kernel reenables busmastering after configuring the IOMMU.
218 This option will cause failures with some poorly behaved hardware
219 and should not be enabled without testing. The kernel commandline
220 options "efi=disable_early_pci_dma" or "efi=no_disable_early_pci_dma"
221 may be used to override this option.
225 depends on SERIAL_EARLYCON && !ARM
227 select ARCH_USE_MEMREMAP_PROT
229 config EFI_CUSTOM_SSDT_OVERLAYS
230 bool "Load custom ACPI SSDT overlay from an EFI variable"
232 default ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE
234 Allow loading of an ACPI SSDT overlay from an EFI variable specified
235 by a kernel command line option.
237 See Documentation/admin-guide/acpi/ssdt-overlays.rst for more
240 config EFI_DISABLE_RUNTIME
241 bool "Disable EFI runtime services support by default"
242 default y if PREEMPT_RT
244 Allow to disable the EFI runtime services support by default. This can
245 already be achieved by using the efi=noruntime option, but it could be
246 useful to have this default without any kernel command line parameter.
248 The EFI runtime services are disabled by default when PREEMPT_RT is
249 enabled, because measurements have shown that some EFI functions calls
250 might take too much time to complete, causing large latencies which is
251 an issue for Real-Time kernels.
253 This default can be overridden by using the efi=runtime option.
255 config EFI_COCO_SECRET
256 bool "EFI Confidential Computing Secret Area Support"
258 Confidential Computing platforms (such as AMD SEV) allow the
259 Guest Owner to securely inject secrets during guest VM launch.
260 The secrets are placed in a designated EFI reserved memory area.
262 In order to use the secrets in the kernel, the location of the secret
263 area (as published in the EFI config table) must be kept.
265 If you say Y here, the address of the EFI secret area will be kept
266 for usage inside the kernel. This will allow the
267 virt/coco/efi_secret module to access the secrets, which in turn
268 allows userspace programs to access the injected secrets.
270 config UNACCEPTED_MEMORY
274 Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX, require
275 some memory to be "accepted" by the guest before it can be used.
276 This mechanism helps prevent malicious hosts from making changes
279 UEFI specification v2.9 introduced EFI_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY memory type.
281 This option adds support for unaccepted memory and makes such memory
282 usable by the kernel.
284 config EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE
286 select CRYPTO_LIB_SHA256
295 depends on UEFI_CPER && ( ARM || ARM64 )
300 depends on UEFI_CPER && X86
304 tristate "TEE-based EFI runtime variable service driver"
305 depends on EFI && OPTEE
307 Select this config option if TEE is compiled to include StandAloneMM
308 as a separate secure partition. It has the ability to check and store
309 EFI variables on an RPMB or any other non-volatile medium used by
312 Enabling this will change the EFI runtime services from the firmware
313 provided functions to TEE calls.
315 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
316 will be called tee_stmm_efi.
