commit 3b1dbfa14f97188ec33fdfc7acb66bea59a3bb21 upstream.

The current code will set _PAGE_USER to the access flags for any
fault address, because the ~ operation will be true for all address we
take a fault on. But setting _PAGE_USER also means that the fault will
be handled only if the page table have _PAGE_USER set. Hence there is
no security hole with the current code.

Now if it is an user space access, then the change in this patch really
don't have an impact because we have (!ctx-&gt;kernel) set true
and we take the if condition true.

Now kernel context created fault on an address in the kernel range
will result in a fault loop because we will not insert the
hash pte due to access and pte permission mismatch. This patch fix
the above issue.

Remove them and while we're at it, simplify the zero check as '!var' is

<title>altera-stapl: altera_get_note: prevent write beyond end of 'key'</title>

[ Upstream commit 3745488e9d599916a0b40d45d3f30e3d4720288e ]

altera_get_note is called from altera_init, where key is kzalloc(33).

When the allocation functions are annotated to allow the compiler to see
the sizes of objects, and with FORTIFY_SOURCE, we see:

In file included from drivers/misc/altera-stapl/altera.c:14:0:
In function ‘strlcpy’,
    inlined from ‘altera_init’ at drivers/misc/altera-stapl/altera.c:2189:5:
include/linux/string.h:378:4: error: call to ‘__write_overflow’ declared with attribute error: detected write beyond size of object passed as 1st parameter
    __write_overflow();
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That refers to this code in altera_get_note:

    if (key != NULL)
            strlcpy(key, &amp;p[note_strings +
                            get_unaligned_be32(
                            &amp;p[note_table + (8 * i)])],
                    length);

The error triggers because the length of 'key' is 33, but the copy
uses length supplied as the 'length' parameter, which is always
256. Split the size parameter into key_len and val_len, and use the
appropriate length depending on what is being copied.

Detected by compiler error, only compile-tested.

<title>mic: avoid statically declaring a 'struct device'.</title>

[ Upstream commit bc83f79bd2119230888fb8574639d5a51b38f903 ]

Generally, declaring a platform device as a static variable is
a bad idea and can cause all kinds of problems, in particular
with the DMA configuration and lifetime rules.

A specific problem we hit here is from a bug in clang that warns
about certain (otherwise valid) macros when used in static variables:

drivers/misc/mic/card/mic_x100.c:285:27: warning: shift count &gt;= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow]
static u64 mic_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(64);
                          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
include/linux/dma-mapping.h:141:54: note: expanded from macro 'DMA_BIT_MASK'
 #define DMA_BIT_MASK(n) (((n) == 64) ? ~0ULL : ((1ULL&lt;&lt;(n))-1))
                                                     ^ ~~~

A slightly better way here is to create the platform device dynamically
and set the dma mask in the probe function.
This avoids the warning and some other problems, but is still not ideal
because the device creation should really be separated from the driver,
and the fact that the device has no parent means we have to force
the dma mask rather than having it set up from the bus that the device
is actually on.

        void *buf = buf;
              ~~~   ^~~
1 warning generated.

Arnd's explanation during review:

  /*
   * Returns the physical address of the partition's reserved page through
   * an iterative number of calls.
   *
   * On first call, 'cookie' and 'len' should be set to 0, and 'addr'
   * set to the nasid of the partition whose reserved page's address is
   * being sought.
   * On subsequent calls, pass the values, that were passed back on the
   * previous call.
   *
   * While the return status equals SALRET_MORE_PASSES, keep calling
   * this function after first copying 'len' bytes starting at 'addr'
   * into 'buf'. Once the return status equals SALRET_OK, 'addr' will
   * be the physical address of the partition's reserved page. If the
   * return status equals neither of these, an error as occurred.
   */
  static inline s64
  sn_partition_reserved_page_pa(u64 buf, u64 *cookie, u64 *addr, u64 *len)

  so *len is set to zero on the first call and tells the bios how many
  bytes are accessible at 'buf', and it does get updated by the BIOS to
  tell us how many bytes it needs, and then we allocate that and try again.

commit 529244bd1afc102ab164429d338d310d5d65e60d upstream.

Doing an add/remove/add on a SCSI device in an enclosure leads to an oops
caused by poisoned values in the enclosure device list pointers.  The
reason is because we are keeping the enclosure device across the enclosed
device add/remove/add but the current code is doing a
device_add/device_del/device_add on it.  This is the wrong thing to do in
sysfs, so fix it by not doing a device_del on the enclosure device simply
because of a hot remove of the drive in the slot.

<title>altera-stapl: check for a null key before strcasecmp'ing it</title>

[ Upstream commit 9ccb645683ef46e3c52c12c088a368baa58447d4 ]

Currently the null check on key is occurring after the strcasecmp on
the key, hence there is a potential null pointer dereference on key.
Fix this by checking if key is null first. Also replace the == 0
check on strcasecmp with just the ! operator.

commit 7a2b9e6ec84588b0be65cc0ae45a65bac431496b upstream.

Add parent device name to the name of devices on bus to avoid
device names collisions for same client UUID available
from different MEI heads. Namely this prevents sysfs collision under
/sys/bus/mei/device/

In the device part leave just UUID other parameters that are
required for device matching are not required here and are
just bloating the name.

<title>misc: mic: fix a DMA pool free failure</title>

[ Upstream commit 6b995f4eec34745f6cb20d66d5277611f0b3c3fa ]

In _scif_prog_signal(), the boolean variable 'x100' is used to indicate
whether the MIC Coprocessor is X100. If 'x100' is true, the status
descriptor will be used to write the value to the destination. Otherwise, a
DMA pool will be allocated for this purpose. Specifically, if the DMA pool
is allocated successfully, two memory addresses will be returned. One is
for the CPU and the other is for the device to access the DMA pool. The
former is stored to the variable 'status' and the latter is stored to the
variable 'src'. After the allocation, the address in 'src' is saved to
'status-&gt;src_dma_addr', which is actually in the DMA pool, and 'src' is
then modified.

Later on, if an error occurs, the execution flow will transfer to the label
'dma_fail', which will check 'x100' and free up the allocated DMA pool if
'x100' is false. The point here is that 'status-&gt;src_dma_addr' is used for
freeing up the DMA pool. As mentioned before, 'status-&gt;src_dma_addr' is in
the DMA pool. And thus, the device is able to modify this data. This can
potentially cause failures when freeing up the DMA pool because of the
modified device address.

This patch avoids the above issue by using the variable 'src' (with
necessary calculation) to free up the DMA pool.

The function should return -EFAULT when copy_from_user fails. Even
though the caller does not distinguish them. but we should keep backward
compatibility.
