commit c15e1bdda4365a5f17cdadf22bf1c1df13884a9e upstream.

When the primary firmware node pointer is removed from a
device (set to NULL) the secondary firmware node pointer,
when it exists, is made the primary node for the device.
However, the secondary firmware node pointer of the original
primary firmware node is never cleared (set to NULL).

To avoid situation where the secondary firmware node pointer
is pointing to a non-existing object, clearing it properly
when the primary node is removed from a device in
set_primary_fwnode().

<title>PM: sleep: core: Fix the handling of pending runtime resume requests</title>

commit e3eb6e8fba65094328b8dca635d00de74ba75b45 upstream.

It has been reported that system-wide suspend may be aborted in the
absence of any wakeup events due to unforseen interactions of it with
the runtume PM framework.

One failing scenario is when there are multiple devices sharing an
ACPI power resource and runtime-resume needs to be carried out for
one of them during system-wide suspend (for example, because it needs
to be reconfigured before the whole system goes to sleep).  In that
case, the runtime-resume of that device involves turning the ACPI
power resource "on" which in turn causes runtime-resume requests
to be queued up for all of the other devices sharing it.  Those
requests go to the runtime PM workqueue which is frozen during
system-wide suspend, so they are not actually taken care of until
the resume of the whole system, but the pm_runtime_barrier()
call in __device_suspend() sees them and triggers system wakeup
events for them which then cause the system-wide suspend to be
aborted if wakeup source objects are in active use.

Of course, the logic that leads to triggering those wakeup events is
questionable in the first place, because clearly there are cases in
which a pending runtime resume request for a device is not connected
to any real wakeup events in any way (like the one above).  Moreover,
it is racy, because the device may be resuming already by the time
the pm_runtime_barrier() runs and so if the driver doesn't take care
of signaling the wakeup event as appropriate, it will be lost.
However, if the driver does take care of that, the extra
pm_wakeup_event() call in the core is redundant.

Accordingly, drop the conditional pm_wakeup_event() call fron
__device_suspend() and make the latter call pm_runtime_barrier()
alone.  Also modify the comment next to that call to reflect the new
code and extend it to mention the need to avoid unwanted interactions
between runtime PM and system-wide device suspend callbacks.

<title>driver core: Avoid binding drivers to dead devices</title>

commit 654888327e9f655a9d55ad477a9583e90e8c9b5c upstream.

Commit 3451a495ef24 ("driver core: Establish order of operations for
device_add and device_del via bitflag") sought to prevent asynchronous
driver binding to a device which is being removed.  It added a
per-device "dead" flag which is checked in the following code paths:

* asynchronous binding in __driver_attach_async_helper()
*  synchronous binding in device_driver_attach()
* asynchronous binding in __device_attach_async_helper()

It did *not* check the flag upon:

*  synchronous binding in __device_attach()

However __device_attach() may also be called asynchronously from:

deferred_probe_work_func()
  bus_probe_device()
    device_initial_probe()
      __device_attach()

So if the commit's intention was to check the "dead" flag in all
asynchronous code paths, then a check is also necessary in
__device_attach().  Add the missing check.

commit 74edd08a4fbf51d65fd8f4c7d8289cd0f392bd91 upstream.

When executing the following command, we met kernel dump.
dmesg -c &gt; /dev/null; cd /sys;
for i in `ls /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/* -d`; do
	echo "Checking regmap in $i";
	cat $i/registers;
done &amp;&amp; grep -ri "0x02d0" *;

It is because the count value is too big, and kmalloc fails. So add an
upper bound check to allow max size `PAGE_SIZE &lt;&lt; (MAX_ORDER - 1)`.

[ Upstream commit e84861fec32dee8a2e62bbaa52cded6b05a2a456 ]

This function is used by dev_get_regmap() to retrieve a regmap for the
specified device. If the device has more than one regmap, the name parameter
can be used to specify one.

The code here uses a pointer comparison to check for equal strings. This
however will probably always fail, as the regmap-&gt;name is allocated via
kstrdup_const() from the regmap's config-&gt;name.

Fix this by using strcmp() instead.

[ Upstream commit 299632e54b2e692d2830af84be51172480dc1e26 ]

If a regmap has "fast_io" set then its lock function uses a spinlock.
That doesn't work so well with the functions:
* regmap_cache_only_write_file()
* regmap_cache_bypass_write_file()

Both of the above functions have the pattern:
1. Lock the regmap.
2. Call:
   debugfs_write_file_bool()
     copy_from_user()
       __might_fault()
         __might_sleep()

Let's reorder things a bit so that we do all of our sleepable
functions before we grab the lock.

The assembly and disassembly of data to be sent to or received from
a device invoke functions regmap_format_XX() and regmap_parse_XX()
that extract or insert data items from or into a buffer, using
assignments. In some cases the functions are called with a buffer

requirements this can result in a kernel crash. The assignments

[ Upstream commit 95b2c3ec4cb1689db2389c251d39f64490ba641c ]

When a register patch is registered the reg_sequence is copied but the
memory allocated is never freed. Add a kfree in regmap_exit to clean it
up.

[ Upstream commit 388bcc6ecc609fca1b4920de7dc3806c98ec535e ]

If platform bus driver registration is failed then, accessing
platform bus spin lock (&amp;drv-&gt;driver.bus-&gt;p-&gt;klist_drivers.k_lock)
in __platform_driver_probe() without verifying the return value
__platform_driver_register() can lead to NULL pointer exception.

So check the return value before attempting the spin lock.

One such example is below:

For a custom usecase, I have intentionally failed the platform bus
registration and I expected all the platform device/driver
registrations to fail gracefully. But I came across this panic
issue.

<title>x86/speculation: Add Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) mitigation</title>

commit 7e5b3c267d256822407a22fdce6afdf9cd13f9fb upstream

SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the
random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New microcode
serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and
RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is
released for reuse.

While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation
is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the
cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL.

The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it
increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other
effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom.

* Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using
  either mitigations=off or srbds=off.

* Export vulnerability status via sysfs

* Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.
