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 via LoadImage/StartImage EFI boot service
88 calls. For compatibility with non-EFI loaders, the payload can be
89 decompressed and executed by the loader as well, provided that the
90 loader implements the decompression algorithm and that non-EFI boot
91 is supported by the encapsulated image. (The compression algorithm
92 used is described in the zboot image header)
94 config EFI_ARMSTUB_DTB_LOADER
95 bool "Enable the DTB loader"
96 depends on EFI_GENERIC_STUB && !RISCV && !LOONGARCH
99 Select this config option to add support for the dtb= command
100 line parameter, allowing a device tree blob to be loaded into
101 memory from the EFI System Partition by the stub.
103 If the device tree is provided by the platform or by
104 the bootloader this option may not be needed.
105 But, for various development reasons and to maintain existing
106 functionality for bootloaders that do not have such support
107 this option is necessary.
109 config EFI_BOOTLOADER_CONTROL
110 tristate "EFI Bootloader Control"
114 This module installs a reboot hook, such that if reboot() is
115 invoked with a string argument NNN, "NNN" is copied to the
116 "LoaderEntryOneShot" EFI variable, to be read by the
117 bootloader. If the string matches one of the boot labels
118 defined in its configuration, the bootloader will boot once
119 to that label. The "LoaderEntryRebootReason" EFI variable is
120 set with the reboot reason: "reboot" or "shutdown". The
121 bootloader reads this reboot reason and takes particular
122 action according to its policy.
124 config EFI_CAPSULE_LOADER
125 tristate "EFI capsule loader"
128 This option exposes a loader interface "/dev/efi_capsule_loader" for
129 users to load EFI capsules. This driver requires working runtime
130 capsule support in the firmware, which many OEMs do not provide.
132 Most users should say N.
134 config EFI_CAPSULE_QUIRK_QUARK_CSH
135 bool "Add support for Quark capsules with non-standard headers"
136 depends on X86 && !64BIT
137 select EFI_CAPSULE_LOADER
140 Add support for processing Quark X1000 EFI capsules, whose header
141 layout deviates from the layout mandated by the UEFI specification.
144 tristate "EFI Runtime Service Tests Support"
148 This driver uses the efi.<service> function pointers directly instead
149 of going through the efivar API, because it is not trying to test the
150 kernel subsystem, just for testing the UEFI runtime service
151 interfaces which are provided by the firmware. This driver is used
152 by the Firmware Test Suite (FWTS) for testing the UEFI runtime
153 interfaces readiness of the firmware.
154 Details for FWTS are available from:
155 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirmwareTestSuite>
157 Say Y here to enable the runtime services support via /dev/efi_test.
160 config EFI_DEV_PATH_PARSER
163 config APPLE_PROPERTIES
164 bool "Apple Device Properties"
165 depends on EFI_STUB && X86
166 select EFI_DEV_PATH_PARSER
169 Retrieve properties from EFI on Apple Macs and assign them to
170 devices, allowing for improved support of Apple hardware.
171 Properties that would otherwise be missing include the
172 Thunderbolt Device ROM and GPU configuration data.
174 If unsure, say Y if you have a Mac. Otherwise N.
176 config RESET_ATTACK_MITIGATION
177 bool "Reset memory attack mitigation"
180 Request that the firmware clear the contents of RAM after a reboot
181 using the TCG Platform Reset Attack Mitigation specification. This
182 protects against an attacker forcibly rebooting the system while it
183 still contains secrets in RAM, booting another OS and extracting the
184 secrets. This should only be enabled when userland is configured to
185 clear the MemoryOverwriteRequest flag on clean shutdown after secrets
186 have been evicted, since otherwise it will trigger even on clean
189 config EFI_RCI2_TABLE
190 bool "EFI Runtime Configuration Interface Table Version 2 Support"
191 depends on X86 || COMPILE_TEST
193 Displays the content of the Runtime Configuration Interface
194 Table version 2 on Dell EMC PowerEdge systems as a binary
195 attribute 'rci2' under /sys/firmware/efi/tables directory.
197 RCI2 table contains BIOS HII in XML format and is used to populate
198 BIOS setup page in Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator tool.
199 The BIOS setup page contains BIOS tokens which can be configured.
201 Say Y here for Dell EMC PowerEdge systems.
203 config EFI_DISABLE_PCI_DMA
204 bool "Clear Busmaster bit on PCI bridges during ExitBootServices()"
206 Disable the busmaster bit in the control register on all PCI bridges
207 while calling ExitBootServices() and passing control to the runtime
208 kernel. System firmware may configure the IOMMU to prevent malicious
209 PCI devices from being able to attack the OS via DMA. However, since
210 firmware can't guarantee that the OS is IOMMU-aware, it will tear
211 down IOMMU configuration when ExitBootServices() is called. This
212 leaves a window between where a hostile device could still cause
213 damage before Linux configures the IOMMU again.
215 If you say Y here, the EFI stub will clear the busmaster bit on all
216 PCI bridges before ExitBootServices() is called. This will prevent
217 any malicious PCI devices from being able to perform DMA until the
218 kernel reenables busmastering after configuring the IOMMU.
220 This option will cause failures with some poorly behaved hardware
221 and should not be enabled without testing. The kernel commandline
222 options "efi=disable_early_pci_dma" or "efi=no_disable_early_pci_dma"
223 may be used to override this option.
227 depends on SERIAL_EARLYCON && !ARM
229 select ARCH_USE_MEMREMAP_PROT
231 config EFI_CUSTOM_SSDT_OVERLAYS
232 bool "Load custom ACPI SSDT overlay from an EFI variable"
234 default ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE
236 Allow loading of an ACPI SSDT overlay from an EFI variable specified
237 by a kernel command line option.
239 See Documentation/admin-guide/acpi/ssdt-overlays.rst for more
242 config EFI_DISABLE_RUNTIME
243 bool "Disable EFI runtime services support by default"
244 default y if PREEMPT_RT
246 Allow to disable the EFI runtime services support by default. This can
247 already be achieved by using the efi=noruntime option, but it could be
248 useful to have this default without any kernel command line parameter.
250 The EFI runtime services are disabled by default when PREEMPT_RT is
251 enabled, because measurements have shown that some EFI functions calls
252 might take too much time to complete, causing large latencies which is
253 an issue for Real-Time kernels.
255 This default can be overridden by using the efi=runtime option.
257 config EFI_COCO_SECRET
258 bool "EFI Confidential Computing Secret Area Support"
260 Confidential Computing platforms (such as AMD SEV) allow the
261 Guest Owner to securely inject secrets during guest VM launch.
262 The secrets are placed in a designated EFI reserved memory area.
264 In order to use the secrets in the kernel, the location of the secret
265 area (as published in the EFI config table) must be kept.
267 If you say Y here, the address of the EFI secret area will be kept
268 for usage inside the kernel. This will allow the
269 virt/coco/efi_secret module to access the secrets, which in turn
270 allows userspace programs to access the injected secrets.
272 config UNACCEPTED_MEMORY
276 Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX, require
277 some memory to be "accepted" by the guest before it can be used.
278 This mechanism helps prevent malicious hosts from making changes
281 UEFI specification v2.9 introduced EFI_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY memory type.
283 This option adds support for unaccepted memory and makes such memory
284 usable by the kernel.

288 select CRYPTO_LIB_SHA256
297 depends on UEFI_CPER && ( ARM || ARM64 )
302 depends on UEFI_CPER && X86
306 tristate "TEE-based EFI runtime variable service driver"
307 depends on EFI && OPTEE
309 Select this config option if TEE is compiled to include StandAloneMM
310 as a separate secure partition. It has the ability to check and store
311 EFI variables on an RPMB or any other non-volatile medium used by
314 Enabling this will change the EFI runtime services from the firmware
315 provided functions to TEE calls.
317 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
318 will be called tee_stmm_efi.
