commit 7012040576c6ae25a47035659ee48673612c2c27 upstream.

When freeing the fw_priv the item is taken off the list. This causes an
oops in the FW_OPT_NOCACHE case as the list object is not initialized.

Make sure to initialize the list object regardless of this flag.

commit 422b3db2a5036add39a82425b1dd9fb6c96481e8 upstream.

When calling request_firmware_into_buf() with the FW_OPT_NOCACHE flag
it is expected that firmware is loaded into buffer from memory.
But inside alloc_lookup_fw_priv every new firmware that is loaded is
added to the firmware cache (fwc) list head. So if any driver requests
a firmware that is already loaded the code iterates over the above
mentioned list and it can end up giving a pointer to other device driver's
firmware buffer.
Also the existing copy may either be modified by drivers, remote processors
or even freed. This causes a potential security issue with batched requests
when using request_firmware_into_buf.

Fix alloc_lookup_fw_priv to not add to the fwc head list if FW_OPT_NOCACHE
is set, and also don't do the lookup in the list.

Fixes: 0e742e9275 ("firmware: provide infrastructure to make fw caching optional")

<title>treewide: Use array_size() in vmalloc()</title>

<content type='text'>
The vmalloc() function has no 2-factor argument form, so multiplication
factors need to be wrapped in array_size(). This patch replaces cases of:

        vmalloc(a * b)

with:
        vmalloc(array_size(a, b))

as well as handling cases of:

        vmalloc(a * b * c)

with:

        vmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c))

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        vmalloc(4 * 1024)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

<title>firmware: add firmware_request_nowarn() - load firmware without warnings</title>

Currently the firmware loader only exposes one silent path for querying
optional firmware, and that is firmware_request_direct(). This function
also disables the sysfs fallback mechanism, which might not always be the
desired behaviour [0].

This patch introduces a variations of request_firmware() that enable the
caller to disable the undesired warning messages but enables the sysfs
fallback mechanism. This is equivalent to adding FW_OPT_NO_WARN to the
old behaviour.

If we resort to using the sysfs fallback mechanism we don't print
the filename. This can be deceiving given we could have a series of
callers intertwined and it'd be unclear exactly for what firmware
this was meant for.

Additionally, although we don't currently use FW_OPT_NO_WARN when
dealing with the fallback mechanism, we will soon, so just respect
its use consistently.

And even if you *don't* want to print always on failure, you may
want to print when debugging so enable dynamic debug print when
FW_OPT_NO_WARN is used.

This will make it easier to track and easier to understand
what components and features are part of the FW_LOADER. There
are some components related to firmware which have *nothing* to
do with the FW_LOADER, souch as PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD.

if they are not exported.

This is done since this call is now exposed through kernel-doc,
and since this also paves the way for different future types of
fallback mechanims.

This should let us associate enum kdoc to these values.
While at it, kdocify the fw_opt.
