commit 7e5b3c267d256822407a22fdce6afdf9cd13f9fb upstream

SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the
random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New microcode
serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and
RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is
released for reuse.

While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation
is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the
cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL.

The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it
increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other
effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom.

* Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using
  either mitigations=off or srbds=off.

* Export vulnerability status via sysfs

* Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.

[ Upstream commit bcfbd3523f3c6eea51a74d217a8ebc5463bcb7f4 ]

fw_sysfs_wait_timeout may return err with -ENOENT
at fw_load_sysfs_fallback and firmware is already
in abort status, no need to abort again, so skip it.

This issue is caused by concurrent situation like below:
when thread 1# wait firmware loading, thread 2# may write
-1 to abort loading and wakeup thread 1# before it timeout.
so wait_for_completion_killable_timeout of thread 1# would
return remaining time which is != 0 with fw_st-&gt;status
FW_STATUS_ABORTED.And the results would be converted into
err -ENOENT in __fw_state_wait_common and transfered to
fw_load_sysfs_fallback in thread 1#.
The -ENOENT means firmware status is already at ABORTED,
so fw_load_sysfs_fallback no need to get mutex to abort again.
-----------------------------

95       return -ENOENT;

commit fb583c8eeeb1fd57e24ef41ed94c9112067aeac9 upstream.

After commit 515db266a9da ("driver core: Remove device link creation
limitation"), if PM-runtime flags are passed to device_link_add(), it
will fail (returning NULL) due to an overly restrictive flags check
introduced by that commit.

Fix this issue by extending the check in question to cover the
PM-runtime flags too.

commit 515db266a9dace92b0cbaed9a6044dd5304b8ca9 upstream.

If device_link_add() is called for a consumer/supplier pair with an
existing device link between them and the existing link's type is
not in agreement with the flags passed to that function by its
caller, NULL will be returned.  That is seriously inconvenient,
because it forces the callers of device_link_add() to worry about
what others may or may not do even if that is not relevant to them
for any other reasons.

It turns out, however, that this limitation can be made go away
relatively easily.

The underlying observation is that if DL_FLAG_STATELESS has been
passed to device_link_add() in flags for the given consumer/supplier
pair at least once, calling either device_link_del() or
device_link_remove() to release the link returned by it should work,
but there are no other requirements associated with that flag.  In
turn, if at least one of the callers of device_link_add() for the
given consumer/supplier pair has not passed DL_FLAG_STATELESS to it
in flags, the driver core should track the status of the link and act
on it as appropriate (ie. the link should be treated as "managed").
This means that DL_FLAG_STATELESS needs to be set for managed device
links and it should be valid to call device_link_del() or
device_link_remove() to drop references to them in certain
sutiations.

To allow that to happen, introduce a new (internal) device link flag
called DL_FLAG_MANAGED and make device_link_add() set it automatically
whenever DL_FLAG_STATELESS is not passed to it.  Also make it take
additional references to existing device links that were previously
stateless (that is, with DL_FLAG_STATELESS set and DL_FLAG_MANAGED
unset) and will need to be managed going forward and initialize
their status (which has been DL_STATE_NONE so far).

Accordingly, when a managed device link is dropped automatically
by the driver core, make it clear DL_FLAG_MANAGED, reset the link's
status back to DL_STATE_NONE and drop the reference to it associated
with DL_FLAG_MANAGED instead of just deleting it right away (to
allow it to stay around in case it still needs to be released
explicitly by someone).

With that, since setting DL_FLAG_STATELESS doesn't mean that the
device link in question is not managed any more, replace all of the
status-tracking checks against DL_FLAG_STATELESS with analogous
checks against DL_FLAG_MANAGED and update the documentation to
reflect these changes.

While at it, make device_link_add() reject flags that it does not
recognize, including DL_FLAG_MANAGED.

commit e7dd40105aac9ba051e44ad711123bc53a5e4c71 upstream.

Add a new device link flag, DL_FLAG_AUTOPROBE_CONSUMER, to request the
driver core to probe for a consumer driver automatically after binding
a driver to the supplier device on a persistent managed device link.

As unbinding the supplier driver on a managed device link causes the
consumer driver to be detached from its device automatically, this
flag provides a complementary mechanism which is needed to address
some "composite device" use cases.

commit 72175d4ea4c442d95cf690c3e968eeee90fd43ca upstream.

Even though stateful device links are managed by the driver core in
principle, their creators are allowed and sometimes even expected
to drop references to them via device_link_del() or
device_link_remove(), but that doesn't really play well with the
"persistent" link concept.

If "persistent" managed device links are created from driver
probe callbacks, device_link_add() called to do that will take a
new reference on the link each time the callback runs and those
references will never be dropped, which kind of isn't nice.

This issues arises because of the link reference counting carried
out by device_link_add() for existing links, but that is only done to
avoid deleting device links that may still be necessary, which
shouldn't be a concern for managed (stateful) links.  These device
links are managed by the driver core and whoever creates one of them
will need it at least as long as until the consumer driver is detached
from its device and deleting it may be left to the driver core just
fine.

For this reason, rework device_link_add() to apply the reference
counting to stateless links only and make device_link_del() and
device_link_remove() drop references to stateless links only too.
After this change, if called to add a stateful device link for
a consumer-supplier pair for which a stateful device link is
present already, device_link_add() will return the existing link
without incrementing its reference counter.  Accordingly,
device_link_del() and device_link_remove() will WARN() and do
nothing when called to drop a reference to a stateful link.  Thus,
effectively, all stateful device links will be owned by the driver
core.

In addition, clean up the handling of the link management flags,
DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER and DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER, so that
(a) they are never set at the same time and (b) if device_link_add()
is called for a consumer-supplier pair with an existing stateful link
between them, the flags of that link will be combined with the flags
passed to device_link_add() to ensure that the life time of the link
is sufficient for all of the callers of device_link_add() for the
same consumer-supplier pair.

Update the device_link_add() kerneldoc comment to reflect the
above changes.

<title>driver core: Fix adding device links to probing suppliers</title>

commit 15cfb094160385cc0b303c4cda483caa102af654 upstream.

Currently, it is not valid to add a device link from a consumer
driver -&gt;probe callback to a supplier that is still probing too, but
generally this is a valid use case.  For example, if the consumer has
just acquired a resource that can only be available if the supplier
is functional, adding a device link to that supplier right away
should be safe (and even desirable arguably), but device_link_add()
doesn't handle that case correctly and the initial state of the link
created by it is wrong then.

To address this problem, change the initial state of device links
added between a probing supplier and a probing consumer to
DL_STATE_CONSUMER_PROBE and update device_links_driver_bound() to
skip such links on the supplier side.

With this change, if the supplier probe completes first,
device_links_driver_bound() called for it will skip the link state
update and when it is called for the consumer, the link state will
be updated to "active".  In turn, if the consumer probe completes
first, device_links_driver_bound() called for it will change the
state of the link to "active" and when it is called for the
supplier, the link status update will be skipped.

However, in principle the supplier or consumer probe may still fail
after the link has been added, so modify device_links_no_driver() to
change device links in the "active" or "consumer probe" state to
"dormant" on the supplier side and update __device_links_no_driver()
to change the link state to "available" only if it is "consumer
probe" or "active".

Then, if the supplier probe fails first, the leftover link to the
probing consumer will become "dormant" and device_links_no_driver()
called for the consumer (when its probe fails) will clean it up.
In turn, if the consumer probe fails first, it will either drop the
link, or change its state to "available" and, in the latter case,
when device_links_no_driver() is called for the supplier, it will
update the link state to "dormant".  [If the supplier probe fails,
but the consumer probe succeeds, which should not happen as long as
the consumer driver is correct, the link still will be around, but
it will be "dormant" until the supplier is probed again.]

commit 0fe6f7874d467456da6f6a221dd92499a3ab1780 upstream.

DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER/SUPPLIER means "Remove the link
automatically on consumer/supplier driver unbind", that means we should
remove whole the device_link when there is no this driver no matter what
the ref_count of the link is.

[ Upstream commit 0707cfa5c3ef58effb143db9db6d6e20503f9dec ]

Currently the check that a u32 variable i is &gt;= 0 is always true because
the unsigned variable will never be negative, causing the loop to run
forever.  Fix this by changing the pre-decrement check to a zero check on
i followed by a decrement of i.
