commit fbd6b25009ac76b2034168cd21d5e01f8c2d83d1 upstream.

An earlier patch I sent reduced the stack usage enough to get
below the warning limit, and I could show this was safe, but with
GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL, it gets worse again because large stack
variables in the same function no longer overlap:

drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_ioctl_linux.c: In function 'translate_scan.isra.2':
drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_ioctl_linux.c:322:1: error: the frame size of 1200 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

Split out the largest two blocks in the affected function into two
separate functions and mark those noinline_for_stack.

Fixes: 8c5af16f7953 ("staging: rtl8712: reduce stack usage")
Fixes: 81a56f6dcd20 ("gcc-plugins: structleak: Generalize to all variable types")

commit a26be06d6d96c10a9ab005e99d93fbb5d3babd98 upstream.

The change to mapping V4L2 to MMAL buffers 1:1 didn't handle
the condition we get with raw pixel buffers (eg YUV and RGB)
direct from the camera's stills port. That sends the pixel buffer
and then an empty buffer with the EOS flag set. The EOS buffer
wasn't handled and returned an error up the stack.

Handle the condition correctly by returning it to the component
if streaming, or returning with an error if stopping streaming.

commit bb8e97006d701ae725a177f8f322e5a75fa761b7 upstream.

Before commit "staging: bcm2835-camera: Remove V4L2/MMAL buffer remapping"
there was a need to ensure that there were sufficient buffers supplied from
the user to cover those being sent to the VPU (always 1).

Now the buffers are linked 1:1 between MMAL and V4L2,
therefore there is no need for that check, and indeed it is wrong
as there is no need to submit all the buffers before starting streaming.

With the recent change to match MMAL and V4L2 buffers there
is a need to wait for all MMAL buffers to be returned during
stop_streaming.

commit 8dedab2903f152aa3cee9ae3d57c828dea0d356e upstream.

The commit "staging: bcm2835-camera: Replace open-coded idr with a struct idr."
replaced an internal implementation of an idr with the standard functions
and a spinlock. idr_alloc(GFP_KERNEL) can sleep whilst calling kmem_cache_alloc
to allocate the new node, but this is not valid whilst in an atomic context
due to the spinlock.

There is no need for this to be a spinlock as a standard mutex is
sufficient.

commit 1c2eb5b2853c9f513690ba6b71072d8eb65da16a upstream.

The VMCI handle array has an integer overflow in
vmci_handle_arr_append_entry when it tries to expand the array. This can be
triggered from a guest, since the doorbell link hypercall doesn't impose a
limit on the number of doorbell handles that a VM can create in the
hypervisor, and these handles are stored in a handle array.

In this change, we introduce a mandatory max capacity for handle
arrays/lists to avoid excessive memory usage.

commit feb09b2933275a70917a869989ea2823e7356be8 upstream.

This patch follows Alan Stern's recent patch:
"p54: Fix race between disconnect and firmware loading"

that overhauled carl9170 buggy firmware loading and driver
unbinding procedures.

Since the carl9170 code was adapted from p54 it uses the
same functions and is likely to have the same problem, but
it's just that the syzbot hasn't reproduce them (yet).

a summary from the changes (copied from the p54 patch):
 * Call usb_driver_release_interface() rather than
   device_release_driver().

 * Lock udev (the interface's parent) before unbinding the
   driver instead of locking udev-&gt;parent.

 * During the firmware loading process, take a reference
   to the USB interface instead of the USB device.

 * Don't take an unnecessary reference to the device during
   probe (and then don't drop it during disconnect).

and

 * Make sure to prevent use-after-free bugs by explicitly
   setting the driver context to NULL after signaling the
   completion.

commit 1909a671dbc3606685b1daf8b22a16f65ea7edda upstream.

syzkallar found a 32-byte memory leak in a rarely executed error
case. The transaction complete work item was not freed if put_user()
failed when writing the BR_TRANSACTION_COMPLETE to the user command
buffer. Fixed by freeing it before put_user() is called.

commit e9e08a07385e08f1a7f85c5d1e345c21c9564963 upstream.

With CONFIG_LKDTM=y and make OBJCOPY=llvm-objcopy, llvm-objcopy errors:
llvm-objcopy: error: --set-section-flags=.text conflicts with
--rename-section=.text=.rodata

Rather than support setting flags then renaming sections vs renaming
then setting flags, it's simpler to just change both at the same time
via --rename-section. Adding the load flag is required for GNU objcopy
to mark .rodata Type as PROGBITS after the rename.

This can be verified with:
$ readelf -S drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata_objcopy.o
...
Section Headers:
  [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset
       Size              EntSize          Flags  Link  Info  Align
...
  [ 1] .rodata           PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00000040
       0000000000000004  0000000000000000   A       0     0     4
...

Which shows that .text is now renamed .rodata, the alloc flag A is set,
the type is PROGBITS, and the section is not flagged as writeable W.
