commit e791ce27c3f6a1d3c746fd6a8f8e36c9540ec6f9 upstream.

Once the reserved page array is unused we can reset the 'res_in_use'
state; here we can do a lazy update without holding the mutex as we only
need to check against concurrent access, not concurrent release.

commit 1bc0eb0446158cc76562176b80623aa119afee5b upstream.

The 'reserved' page array is used as a short-cut for mapping data,
saving us to allocate pages per request. However, the 'reserved' array
is only capable of holding one request, so this patch introduces a mutex
for protect 'sg_fd' against concurrent accesses.

commit 8234caed27f7bce141c9fb1f7e76c91a2a66d248 upstream.

The regmap_config struct may be const because it is not modified by the
driver and regmap_init() accepts pointer to const.

Replace doubled const in the arrays of clock names with proper const
pointer to const data. This fixes the warnings:

drivers/clk/clk-si5351.c:71:25: warning: duplicate const
drivers/clk/clk-si5351.c:74:25: warning: duplicate const

commit 7ebb916782949621ff6819acf373a06902df7679 upstream.

gcc-7 warns:

In file included from arch/x86/tools/relocs_64.c:17:0:

arch/x86/tools/relocs.c:953:2: warning: argument 1 null where non-null expected [-Wnonnull]

This happens because relocs16 is not used for ELF_BITS == 64,
so there is no point in trying to sort it.

Make the sort_relocs(&amp;relocs16) call 32bit only.

<title>arm64: fpsimd: Prevent registers leaking across exec</title>

commit 096622104e14d8a1db4860bd557717067a0515d2 upstream.

There are some tricky dependencies between the different stages of
flushing the FPSIMD register state during exec, and these can race
with context switch in ways that can cause the old task's regs to
leak across.  In particular, a context switch during the memset() can
cause some of the task's old FPSIMD registers to reappear.

Disabling preemption for this small window would be no big deal for
performance: preemption is already disabled for similar scenarios
like updating the FPSIMD registers in sigreturn.

So, instead of rearranging things in ways that might swap existing
subtle bugs for new ones, this patch just disables preemption
around the FPSIMD state flushing so that races of this type can't
occur here.  This brings fpsimd_flush_thread() into line with other
code paths.

commit 674c242c9323d3c293fc4f9a3a3a619fe3063290 upstream.

When a task calls execve(), its FP/SIMD state is flushed so that
none of the original program state is observeable by the incoming
program.

However, since this flushing consists of setting the in-memory copy
of the FP/SIMD state to all zeroes, the CPU field is set to CPU 0 as
well, which indicates to the lazy FP/SIMD preserve/restore code that
the FP/SIMD state does not need to be reread from memory if the task
is scheduled again on CPU 0 without any other tasks having entered
userland (or used the FP/SIMD in kernel mode) on the same CPU in the
mean time. If this happens, the FP/SIMD state of the old program will
still be present in the registers when the new program starts.

So set the CPU field to the invalid value of NR_CPUS when performing
the flush, by calling fpsimd_flush_task_state().

<content type='text'>
commit 7206f9bf108eb9513d170c73f151367a1bdf3dbf upstream.

The x86 version of insb/insw/insl uses an inline assembly that does
not have the target buffer listed as an output. This can confuse
the compiler, leading it to think that a subsequent access of the
buffer is uninitialized:

  drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c: In function ‘wl3501_mgmt_scan_confirm’:
  drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:665:9: error: ‘sig.status’ is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
  drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:668:12: error: ‘sig.cap_info’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  drivers/net/sb1000.c: In function 'sb1000_rx':
  drivers/net/sb1000.c:775:9: error: 'st[0]' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
  drivers/net/sb1000.c:776:10: error: 'st[1]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  drivers/net/sb1000.c:784:11: error: 'st[1]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

I tried to mark the exact input buffer as an output here, but couldn't
figure it out. As suggested by Linus, marking all memory as clobbered
however is good enough too. For the outs operations, I also add the
memory clobber, to force the input to be written to local variables.
This is probably already guaranteed by the "asm volatile", but it can't
hurt to do this for symmetry.

commit 7206f9bf108eb9513d170c73f151367a1bdf3dbf upstream.

The x86 version of insb/insw/insl uses an inline assembly that does
not have the target buffer listed as an output. This can confuse
the compiler, leading it to think that a subsequent access of the
buffer is uninitialized:

  drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c: In function ‘wl3501_mgmt_scan_confirm’:
  drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:665:9: error: ‘sig.status’ is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
  drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:668:12: error: ‘sig.cap_info’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  drivers/net/sb1000.c: In function 'sb1000_rx':
  drivers/net/sb1000.c:775:9: error: 'st[0]' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
  drivers/net/sb1000.c:776:10: error: 'st[1]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

commit 67a2e213e7e937c41c52ab5bc46bf3f4de469f6e upstream.

This was found during userspace fuzzing test when a large size dma cma
allocation is made by driver(like ion) through userspace.
