[ Upstream commit 90d77b30a666049ad24df463f52e5d529c44e8cd ]

Starting with commit bdb249fce9ad4 ("ARM: integrator: read counter using
syscon/regmap"), intcp_init_early calls syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible
which in turn calls of_syscon_register. This function allocates memory.
Since the memory management code has not been initialized at that time,
the call always fails. It either returns -ENOMEM or crashes as follows.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c when read
[0000000c] *pgd=00000000
Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] ARM
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 6.15.0-rc5-00026-g5fcc9bf84ee5 #1 PREEMPT
Hardware name: ARM Integrator/CP (Device Tree)
PC is at __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0xec/0x39c
LR is at __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x34/0x39c
...
Call trace:
 __kmalloc_cache_noprof from of_syscon_register+0x7c/0x310

 device_node_get_regmap from intcp_init_early+0xc/0x40
 intcp_init_early from start_kernel+0x60/0x688
 start_kernel from 0x0

The crash is seen due to a dereferenced pointer which is not supposed to be
NULL but is NULL if the memory management subsystem has not been
initialized. The crash is not seen with all versions of gcc. Some versions
such as gcc 9.x apparently do not dereference the pointer, presumably if
tracing is disabled. The problem has been reproduced with gcc 10.x, 11.x,
and 13.x. Either case, if the crash is not seen, the call to
syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible returns -ENOMEM, and
sched_clock_register is never called.

Fix the problem by moving the early initialization code into the standard
machine initialization code.

[ Upstream commit c366a7b5ed7564e41345c380285bd3f6cb98971b ]

debug_get_user_string() copies the userspace buffer into a newly
allocated NUL-terminated buffer and then unconditionally looks at
buffer[user_len - 1] to strip a trailing newline.

A zero-length write reaches this helper unchanged, so the newline trim
reads before the start of the allocated buffer.

Reject empty writes before accessing the last input byte.

commit 108d7f951271cbd36ca36efc5e5d106966f5180c upstream.

pika_dtm_thread() acquires client through of_find_i2c_device_by_node()
but fails to release it in error handling path. This could result in a
reference count leak, preventing proper cleanup and potentially
leading to resource exhaustion. Add put_device() to release the
reference in the error handling path.

[ Upstream commit 5978ff33cc6f0988388a2830dc5cd2ea4e81f36a ]

Fix following validation error:
arch/arm/boot/dts/mediatek/mt7623a-rfb-emmc.dtb: efuse@10206000: compatible: 'oneOf' conditional failed, one must be fixed:
        ['mediatek,mt7623-efuse', 'mediatek,mt8173-efuse'] is too long
        'mediatek,mt8173-efuse' was expected
        'mediatek,efuse' was expected
        from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/nvmem/mediatek,efuse.yaml#
arch/arm/boot/dts/mediatek/mt7623a-rfb-emmc.dtb: efuse@10206000: Unevaluated properties are not allowed ('compatible' was unexpected)
        from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/nvmem/mediatek,efuse.yaml#

[ Upstream commit 789335cacdf37da93bb7c70322dff8c7e82881df ]

update_backup_region_phdr() in file_load_64.c iterates over all the
program headers in the kdump kernel’s elfcorehdr and updates the
p_offset of the program header whose physical address starts at 0.

However, the loop logic is incorrect because the program header pointer
is not updated during iteration. Since elfcorehdr typically contains
PT_NOTE entries first, the PT_LOAD program header with physical address
0 is never reached. As a result, its p_offset is not updated to point to
the backup region.

Because of this behavior, the capture kernel exports the first 64 KB of
the crashed kernel’s memory at offset 0, even though that memory
actually lives in the backup region. When a crash happens, purgatory
copies the first 64 KB of the crashed kernel’s memory into the backup
region so the capture kernel can safely use it.

This has not caused problems so far because the first 64 KB is usually
identical in both the crashed and capture kernels. However, this is
just an assumption and is not guaranteed to always hold true.

Fix update_backup_region_phdr() to correctly update the p_offset of the
program header with a starting physical address of 0 by correcting the
logic used to iterate over the program headers.

<title>s390/debug: Reject zero-length input in debug_input_flush_fn()</title>

commit e14622a7584f9608927c59a7d6ae4a0999dc545e upstream.

debug_input_flush_fn() always copies one byte from the userspace buffer
with copy_from_user() regardless of the supplied write length. A
zero-length write therefore reads one byte beyond the caller's buffer.
If the stale byte happens to be '-' or a digit the debug log is
silently flushed. With an unmapped buffer the call returns -EFAULT.

Reject zero-length writes before copying from userspace.
