[ Upstream commit 5ee76c256e928455212ab759c51d198fedbe7523 ]

Mounting NFS rootfs was timing out when deferred_probe_timeout was
non-zero [1].  This was because ip_auto_config() initcall times out
waiting for the network interfaces to show up when
deferred_probe_timeout was non-zero. While ip_auto_config() calls
wait_for_device_probe() to make sure any currently running deferred
probe work or asynchronous probe finishes, that wasn't sufficient to
account for devices being deferred until deferred_probe_timeout.

Commit 35a672363ab3 ("driver core: Ensure wait_for_device_probe() waits
until the deferred_probe_timeout fires") tried to fix that by making
sure wait_for_device_probe() waits for deferred_probe_timeout to expire
before returning.

However, if wait_for_device_probe() is called from the kernel_init()
context:

- Before deferred_probe_initcall() [2], it causes the boot process to
  hang due to a deadlock.

- After deferred_probe_initcall() [3], it blocks kernel_init() from
  continuing till deferred_probe_timeout expires and beats the point of
  deferred_probe_timeout that's trying to wait for userspace to load
  modules.

Neither of this is good. So revert the changes to
wait_for_device_probe().

<title>driver core: fix deadlock in __device_attach</title>

[ Upstream commit b232b02bf3c205b13a26dcec08e53baddd8e59ed ]

In __device_attach function, The lock holding logic is as follows:
...
__device_attach
device_lock(dev)      // get lock dev
  async_schedule_dev(__device_attach_async_helper, dev); // func
    async_schedule_node
      async_schedule_node_domain(func)
        entry = kzalloc(sizeof(struct async_entry), GFP_ATOMIC);
	/* when fail or work limit, sync to execute func, but
	   __device_attach_async_helper will get lock dev as
	   well, which will lead to A-A deadlock.  */
	if (!entry || atomic_read(&amp;entry_count) &gt; MAX_WORK) {
	  func;
	else
	  queue_work_node(node, system_unbound_wq, &amp;entry-&gt;work)
  device_unlock(dev)

As shown above, when it is allowed to do async probes, because of
out of memory or work limit, async work is not allowed, to do
sync execute instead. it will lead to A-A deadlock because of
__device_attach_async_helper getting lock dev.

To fix the deadlock, move the async_schedule_dev outside device_lock,
as we can see, in async_schedule_node_domain, the parameter of
queue_work_node is system_unbound_wq, so it can accept concurrent
operations. which will also not change the code logic, and will
not lead to deadlock.

When driver_attach(drv); failed, the driver_private will be freed.
But it has been added to the bus, which caused a UAF.

To fix it, we need to delete it from the bus when failed.

[ Upstream commit f47f758cff59c68015d6b9b9c077110df7c2c828 ]

__add_memory_block() calls both put_device() and device_unregister() when
storing the memory block into the xarray.  This is incorrect because
xarray doesn't take an additional reference and device_unregister()
already calls put_device().

Triggering the issue looks really unlikely and its only effect should be
to log a spurious warning about a ref counted issue.

[ Upstream commit 622d9b5577f19a6472db21df042fea8f5fefe244 ]

In the genpd governor we walk the list of child-domains to take into
account their next_wakeup. If the child-domain itself, doesn't have a
governor assigned to it, we can end up using the next_wakeup value before
it has been properly initialized. To prevent a possible incorrect behaviour
in the governor, let's initialize next_wakeup to KTIME_MAX.

[ Upstream commit 002752af7b89b74c64fe6bec8c5fde3d3a7810d8 ]

Some of the fwnode APIs might return an error pointer instead of NULL
or valid fwnode handle. The result of such API call may be considered
optional and hence the test for it is usually done in a form of

	fwnode = fwnode_find_reference(...);
	if (IS_ERR(fwnode))
		...error handling...

Nevertheless the resulting fwnode may have bumped the reference count
and hence caller of the above API is obliged to call fwnode_handle_put().
Since fwnode may be not valid either as NULL or error pointer the check
has to be performed there. This approach uglifies the code and adds
a point of making a mistake, i.e. forgetting about error point case.

To prevent this, allow an error pointer to be passed to the fwnode APIs.

Fixes: 83b34afb6b79 ("device property: Introduce fwnode_find_reference()")

<title>firmware_loader: use kernel credentials when reading firmware</title>

Device drivers may decide to not load firmware when probed to avoid
slowing down the boot process should the firmware filesystem not be
available yet. In this case, the firmware loading request may be done
when a device file associated with the driver is first accessed. The
credentials of the userspace process accessing the device file may be
used to validate access to the firmware files requested by the driver.
Ensure that the kernel assumes the responsibility of reading the
firmware.

This was observed on Android for a graphic driver loading their firmware
when the device file (e.g. /dev/mali0) was first opened by userspace
(i.e. surfaceflinger). The security context of surfaceflinger was used
to validate the access to the firmware file (e.g.
/vendor/firmware/mali.bin).

Previously, Android configurations were not setting up the
firmware_class.path command line argument and were relying on the
userspace fallback mechanism. In this case, the security context of the
userspace daemon (i.e. ueventd) was consistently used to read firmware
files. More Android devices are now found to set firmware_class.path
which gives the kernel the opportunity to read the firmware directly
(via kernel_read_file_from_path_initns). In this scenario, the current
process credentials were used, even if unrelated to the loading of the
firmware file.

 "Here are some small driver core and kernfs fixes for some reported
  problems. They include:

   - kernfs regression that is causing oopses in 5.17 and newer releases

   - topology sysfs fixes for a few small reported problems.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

Commit aa63a74d4535 ("topology/sysfs: Hide PPIN on systems that do not
support it.") caused a build warning on some configurations:

drivers/base/topology.c: In function 'topology_is_visible':
drivers/base/topology.c:158:24: warning: unused variable 'dev' [-Wunused-variable]
  158 |         struct device *dev = kobj_to_dev(kobj);

Fix this up by getting rid of the variable entirely.
