commit f5595f5baa30e009bf54d0d7653a9a0cc465be60 upstream.

The send() callback should never return length as it does not in every
driver except tpm_crb in the success case. The reason is that the main
transmit functionality only cares about whether the transmit was
successful or not and ignores the count completely.

<title>tpm/tpm_crb: Avoid unaligned reads in crb_recv()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 3d7a850fdc1a2e4d2adbc95cc0fc962974725e88 upstream.

The current approach to read first 6 bytes from the response and then tail
of the response, can cause the 2nd memcpy_fromio() to do an unaligned read
(e.g. read 32-bit word from address aligned to a 16-bits), depending on how
memcpy_fromio() is implemented. If this happens, the read will fail and the
memory controller will fill the read with 1's.

This was triggered by 170d13ca3a2f, which should be probably refined to
check and react to the address alignment. Before that commit, on x86
memcpy_fromio() turned out to be memcpy(). By a luck GCC has done the right
thing (from tpm_crb's perspective) for us so far, but we should not rely on
that. Thus, it makes sense to fix this also in tpm_crb, not least because
the fix can be then backported to stable kernels and make them more robust
when compiled in differing environments.

If io_setup is called successful in try_smi_init() but try_smi_init()
goes out_err before calling ipmi_register_smi(), so ipmi_unregister_smi()
will not be called while removing module. It leads to the resource that
allocated in io_setup() can not be freed, but the name(DEVICE_NAME) of
resource is freed while removing the module. It causes use-after-free
when cat /proc/ioports.

Fix this by calling io_cleanup() while try_smi_init() goes to out_err.
and don't call io_cleanup() until io_setup() returns successful to avoid
warning prints.

<title>ipmi_si: Fix crash when using hard-coded device</title>

commit 41b766d661bf94a364960862cfc248a78313dbd3 upstream.

When excuting a command like:
  modprobe ipmi_si ports=0xffc0e3 type=bt
The system would get an oops.

The trouble here is that ipmi_si_hardcode_find_bmc() is called before
ipmi_si_platform_init(), but initialization of the hard-coded device
creates an IPMI platform device, which won't be initialized yet.

The real trouble is that hard-coded devices aren't created with
any device, and the fixup is done later.  So do it right, create the
hard-coded devices as normal platform devices.

This required adding some new resource types to the IPMI platform
code for passing information required by the hard-coded device
and adding some code to remove the hard-coded platform devices
on module removal.

To enforce the "hard-coded devices passed by the user take priority
over firmware devices" rule, some special code was added to check
and see if a hard-coded device already exists.

<title>applicom: Fix potential Spectre v1 vulnerabilities</title>

commit d7ac3c6ef5d8ce14b6381d52eb7adafdd6c8bb3c upstream.

IndexCard is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:

drivers/char/applicom.c:418 ac_write() warn: potential spectre issue 'apbs' [r]
drivers/char/applicom.c:728 ac_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'apbs' [r] (local cap)

Fix this by sanitizing IndexCard before using it to index apbs.

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].

<title>ipmi: Don't initialize anything in the core until something uses it</title>

<id>913a89f009d98c85a902d718cd54bb32ab11d167</id>
<content type='text'>
The IPMI driver was recently modified to use SRCU, but it turns out
this uses a chunk of percpu memory, even if IPMI is never used.

So modify thing to on initialize on the first use.  There was already
code to sort of handle this for handling init races, so piggy back
on top of that, and simplify it in the process.

Because the user-&gt;release_barrier.rda is freed in ipmi_destroy_user(), but
the refcount is not zero, when acquire_ipmi_user() uses user-&gt;release_barrier.rda
in __srcu_read_lock(), it causes oops.
Fix this by calling cleanup_srcu_struct() when the refcount is zero.

Because the user-&gt;release_barrier.rda is freed in ipmi_destroy_user(), but
the refcount is not zero, when acquire_ipmi_user() uses user-&gt;release_barrier.rda
in __srcu_read_lock(), it causes oops.
Fix this by calling cleanup_srcu_struct() when the refcount is zero.

<title>ipmi: Prevent use-after-free in deliver_response</title>

Some IPMI modules (e.g. ibmpex_msg_handler()) will have ipmi_usr_hdlr
handlers that call ipmi_free_recv_msg() directly. This will essentially
kfree(msg), leading to use-after-free.

This does not happen in the ipmi_devintf module, which will queue the
message and run ipmi_free_recv_msg() later.

<title>ipmi: msghandler: Fix potential Spectre v1 vulnerabilities</title>

channel and addr-&gt;channel are indirectly controlled by user-space,
hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1
vulnerability.

These issues were detected with the help of Smatch:

drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:1381 ipmi_set_my_address() warn: potential spectre issue 'user-&gt;intf-&gt;addrinfo' [w] (local cap)
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:1401 ipmi_get_my_address() warn: potential spectre issue 'user-&gt;intf-&gt;addrinfo' [r] (local cap)
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:1421 ipmi_set_my_LUN() warn: potential spectre issue 'user-&gt;intf-&gt;addrinfo' [w] (local cap)
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:1441 ipmi_get_my_LUN() warn: potential spectre issue 'user-&gt;intf-&gt;addrinfo' [r] (local cap)
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:2260 check_addr() warn: potential spectre issue 'intf-&gt;addrinfo' [r] (local cap)

Fix this by sanitizing channel and addr-&gt;channel before using them to
index user-&gt;intf-&gt;addrinfo and intf-&gt;addrinfo, correspondingly.

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].
