commit 4bb1e7d027413835b086aed35bc3f0713bc0f72b upstream.

Only buffer objects are valid return values of _STR.

If something else is returned description_show() will access invalid
memory.

[ Upstream commit 48cf49d31994ff97b33c4044e618560ec84d35fb ]

snprintf() does not return negative values on error.

To know if the buffer was too small, the returned value needs to be
compared with the length of the passed buffer. If it is greater or
equal, the output has been truncated, so add checks for the truncation
to create_pnp_modalias() and create_of_modalias(). Also make them
return -ENOMEM in that case, as they already do that elsewhere.

Moreover, the remaining size of the buffer used by snprintf() needs to
be updated after the first write to avoid out-of-bounds access as
already done correctly in create_pnp_modalias(), but not in
create_of_modalias(), so change the latter accordingly.

[ Upstream commit 888be6067b97132c3992866bbcf647572253ab3f ]

Currently, a device description can be obtained using ACPI, if the _STR
method exists for a particular device, and then exposed to the userspace
via a sysfs object as a string value.

If the _STR method is available for a given device then the data
(usually a Unicode string) is read and stored in a buffer (of the
ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER type) with a pointer to said buffer cached in the
struct acpi_device_pnp for later access.

The description_show() function is responsible for exposing the device
description to the userspace via a corresponding sysfs object and
internally calls the utf16s_to_utf8s() function with a pointer to the
buffer that contains the Unicode string so that it can be converted from
UTF16 encoding to UTF8 and thus allowing for the value to be safely
stored and later displayed.

When invoking the utf16s_to_utf8s() function, the description_show()
function also sets a limit of the data that can be saved into a provided
buffer as a result of the character conversion to be a total of
PAGE_SIZE, and upon completion, the utf16s_to_utf8s() function returns
an integer value denoting the number of bytes that have been written
into the provided buffer.

Following the execution of the utf16s_to_utf8s() a newline character
will be added at the end of the resulting buffer so that when the value
is read in the userspace through the sysfs object then it would include
newline making it more accessible when working with the sysfs file
system in the shell, etc.  Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but if
the function utf16s_to_utf8s() happens to return the number of bytes
written to be precisely PAGE_SIZE, then we would overrun the buffer and
write the newline character outside the allotted space which can have
undefined consequences or result in a failure.

To fix this buffer overrun, ensure that there always is enough space
left for the newline character to be safely appended.

commit 36af2d5c4433fb40ee2af912c4ac0a30991aecfc upstream.

Commit 8765c5ba1949 ("ACPI / scan: Rework modalias creation when
"compatible" is present") may create two "MODALIAS=" in one uevent
file if specific conditions are met.

This breaks systemd-udevd, which assumes each "key" in one uevent file
to be unique. The internal implementation of systemd-udevd overwrites
the first MODALIAS with the second one, so its kmod rule doesn't load
the driver for the first MODALIAS.

So if both the ACPI modalias and the OF modalias are present, use the
latter to ensure that there will be only one MODALIAS.

<content type='text'>
Standards such as the MIPI DisCo for SoundWire 1.0 specification
assume the _ADR field is 64 bits.

_ADR is defined as an "Integer" represented as 64 bits since ACPI 2.0
released in 2002. The low levels already use _ADR as 64 bits, e.g. in
struct acpi_device_info.

This patch bumps the representation used for sysfs to 64 bits. To
avoid any compatibility/ABI issues, the printf format is only extended
to 16 characters when the actual _ADR value exceeds the 32 bit
maximum.

Example with a SoundWire device, the results show the complete
vendorID and linkID which were omitted before:

Before:
$ more /sys/bus/acpi/devices/device\:38/adr
0x5d070000
After:
$ more /sys/bus/acpi/devices/device\:38/adr

If SSDT overlay is loaded via ConfigFS and then unloaded the device,
we would like to have OF modalias for, already gone. Thus, acpi_get_name()
returns no allocated buffer for such case and kernel crashes afterwards:

If SSDT overlay is loaded via ConfigFS and then unloaded the device,
we would like to have OF modalias for, already gone. Thus, acpi_get_name()
returns no allocated buffer for such case and kernel crashes afterwards:

Convert DEVICE_ATTR uses to DEVICE_ATTR_RO where possible.

Done with perl script:

$ git grep -w --name-only DEVICE_ATTR | \
  xargs perl -i -e 'local $/; while (&lt;&gt;) { s/\bDEVICE_ATTR\s*\(\s*(\w+)\s*,\s*\(?(?:\s*S_IRUGO\s*|\s*0444\s*)\)?\s*,\s*\1_show\s*,\s*NULL\s*\)/DEVICE_ATTR_RO(\1)/g; print;}'

<title>ACPI / bus: Leave modalias empty for devices which are not present</title>

<id>10809bb976648ac58194a629e3d7af99e7400297</id>
<content type='text'>
Most Bay and Cherry Trail devices use a generic DSDT with all possible
peripheral devices present in the DSDT, with their _STA returning 0x00 or
0x0f based on AML variables which describe what is actually present on
the board.

Since ACPI device objects with a 0x00 status (not present) still get an
entry under /sys/bus/acpi/devices, and those entry had an acpi:PNPID
modalias, userspace would end up loading modules for non present hardware.

This commit fixes this by leaving the modalias empty for non present
devices. This results in 10 modules less being loaded with a generic
distro kernel config on my Cherry Trail test-device (a GPD pocket).
