[ Upstream commit fd883d79e4dcd2417c2b80756f22a2ff03b0f6e0 ]

There is no sense in doing a cache sync on REGCACHE_NONE regmaps.
Instead of panicking the kernel due to missing cache_ops, return an error
to client driver.

<title>platform: Provide a remove callback that returns no value</title>

[ Upstream commit 5c5a7680e67ba6fbbb5f4d79fa41485450c1985c ]

struct platform_driver::remove returning an integer made driver authors
expect that returning an error code was proper error handling. However
the driver core ignores the error and continues to remove the device
because there is nothing the core could do anyhow and reentering the
remove callback again is only calling for trouble.

So this is an source for errors typically yielding resource leaks in the
error path.

As there are too many platform drivers to neatly convert them all to
return void in a single go, do it in several steps after this patch:

 a) Convert all drivers to implement .remove_new() returning void instead
    of .remove() returning int;
 b) Change struct platform_driver::remove() to return void and so make
    it identical to .remove_new();
 c) Change all drivers back to .remove() now with the better prototype;
 d) drop struct platform_driver::remove_new().

While this touches all drivers eventually twice, steps a) and c) can be
done one driver after another and so reduces coordination efforts
immensely and simplifies review.

commit 58d7668242647e661a20efe065519abd6454287e upstream.

For CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL systems, the tick_do_timer_cpu cannot be offlined.
However, cpu_is_hotpluggable() still returns true for those CPUs. This causes
torture tests that do offlining to end up trying to offline this CPU causing
test failures. Such failure happens on all architectures.

Fix the repeated error messages thrown by this (even if the hotplug errors are
harmless) by asking the opinion of the nohz subsystem on whether the CPU can be
hotplugged.

[ Apply Frederic Weisbecker feedback on refactoring tick_nohz_cpu_down(). ]

<title>driver core: Don't require dynamic_debug for initcall_debug probe timing</title>

commit e2f06aa885081e1391916367f53bad984714b4db upstream.

Don't require the use of dynamic debug (or modification of the kernel to
add a #define DEBUG to the top of this file) to get the printk message
about driver probe timing. This printk is only emitted when
initcall_debug is enabled on the kernel commandline, and it isn't
immediately obvious that you have to do something else to debug boot
timing issues related to driver probe. Add a comment too so it doesn't
get converted back to pr_debug().

When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time.  To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once.

[ Upstream commit e5da06b27ff5a148e42265c8e306670a9d913969 ]

The normal call sequence of using transport class is:

Add path:
transport_setup_device()
  transport_setup_classdev()  // call sas_host_setup() here
transport_add_device()	      // if fails, need call transport_destroy_device()
transport_configure_device()

Remove path:
transport_remove_device()
  transport_remove_classdev  // call sas_host_remove() here
transport_destroy_device()

If transport_add_device() fails, need call transport_destroy_device()
to free memory, but in this case, -&gt;remove() is not called, and the
resources allocated in -&gt;setup() are leaked. So fix these leaks by
calling -&gt;remove() in transport_add_class_device() if it returns error.

[ Upstream commit 6977b1a5d67097eaa4d02b0c126c04cc6e8917c0 ]

When calling kobject_add() failed in device_add(), it will call
cleanup_glue_dir() to free resource. But in kobject_add(),
dev-&gt;kobj.parent has been set to NULL. This will cause resource leak.

The process is as follows:
device_add()
	get_device_parent()

[ Upstream commit 6977b1a5d67097eaa4d02b0c126c04cc6e8917c0 ]

When calling kobject_add() failed in device_add(), it will call
cleanup_glue_dir() to free resource. But in kobject_add(),
dev-&gt;kobj.parent has been set to NULL. This will cause resource leak.

The process is as follows:
device_add()
	get_device_parent()
		class_dir_create_and_add()
			kobject_add()		//kobject_get()
	...
	dev-&gt;kobj.parent = kobj;
	...
	kobject_add()		//failed, but set dev-&gt;kobj.parent = NULL
	...
	glue_dir = get_glue_dir(dev)	//glue_dir = NULL, and goto
					//"Error" label
	...
	cleanup_glue_dir()	//becaues glue_dir is NULL, not call
				//kobject_put()

[ Upstream commit f6837f34a34973ef6600c08195ed300e24e97317 ]

I got the following null-ptr-deref report while doing fault injection test:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000058
CPU: 2 PID: 278 Comm: 37-i2c-ds2482 Tainted: G    B   W        N 6.1.0-rc3+
RIP: 0010:klist_put+0x2d/0xd0

 w1_add_master_device+0x476/0x490 [wire]
 ds2482_probe+0x303/0x3e0 [ds2482]

This is how it happened:

w1_alloc_dev()
  // The dev-&gt;driver is set to w1_master_driver.
  memcpy(&amp;dev-&gt;dev, device, sizeof(struct device));
  device_add()
    bus_add_device()
    dpm_sysfs_add() // It fails, calls bus_remove_device.

    // error path
    bus_remove_device()
      // The dev-&gt;driver is not null, but driver is not bound.
      __device_release_driver()
        klist_remove(&amp;dev-&gt;p-&gt;knode_driver) &lt;-- It causes null-ptr-deref.

    // normal path
    bus_probe_device() // It's not called yet.
      device_bind_driver()

If dev-&gt;driver is set, in the error path after calling bus_add_device()
in device_add(), bus_remove_device() is called, then the device will be
detached from driver. But device_bind_driver() is not called yet, so it
causes null-ptr-deref while access the 'knode_driver'. To fix this, set
dev-&gt;driver to null in the error path before calling bus_remove_device().
