[ Upstream commit 95b2c3ec4cb1689db2389c251d39f64490ba641c ]

When a register patch is registered the reg_sequence is copied but the
memory allocated is never freed. Add a kfree in regmap_exit to clean it
up.

[ Upstream commit 388bcc6ecc609fca1b4920de7dc3806c98ec535e ]

If platform bus driver registration is failed then, accessing
platform bus spin lock (&amp;drv-&gt;driver.bus-&gt;p-&gt;klist_drivers.k_lock)
in __platform_driver_probe() without verifying the return value
__platform_driver_register() can lead to NULL pointer exception.

So check the return value before attempting the spin lock.

One such example is below:

For a custom usecase, I have intentionally failed the platform bus
registration and I expected all the platform device/driver
registrations to fail gracefully. But I came across this panic
issue.

commit 46d26819a5056f4831649c5887ad5c71a16d86f7 upstream.

Sometimes it is better to unregister individual nodes instead of trying
to do them all at once with software_node_unregister_nodes(), so create
software_node_unregister() so that you can unregister them one at a
time.

This is especially important when creating nodes in a hierarchy, with
parent -&gt; children representations.  Children always need to be removed
before a parent is, as the swnode logic assumes this is going to be the
case.

Fix up the lib/test_printf.c fwnode_pointer() test which to use this new
function as it had the problem of tearing things down in the backwards
order.

<title>driver core: Update device link status correctly for SYNC_STATE_ONLY links</title>

<id>70154bb515a325c007bcf64971099e1e17f16f28</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 8c3e315d4296421cd26b3300ee0ac117f0877f20 ]

When SYNC_STATE_ONLY support was added in commit 05ef983e0d65 ("driver
core: Add device link support for SYNC_STATE_ONLY flag"),
SYNC_STATE_ONLY links were treated similar to STATELESS links in terms
of not blocking consumer probe if the supplier hasn't probed yet.

That caused a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link's status to not get updated.
Since SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link is no longer useful once the
consumer probes, commit 21c27f06587d ("driver core: Fix
SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link implementation") addresses the status
update issue by deleting the SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link instead of
complicating the status update code.

However, there are still some cases where we need to update the status
of a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link. This is because a SYNC_STATE_ONLY
device link can later get converted into a normal MANAGED device link
when a normal MANAGED device link is created between a supplier and
consumer that already have a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link between them.

If a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link's status isn't maintained correctly
till it's converted to a normal MANAGED device link, then the normal
MANAGED device link will end up with a wrong link status. This can cause
a warning stack trace[1] when the consumer device probes successfully.

This commit fixes the SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link status update issue
where it wouldn't transition correctly from DL_STATE_DORMANT or
DL_STATE_AVAILABLE to DL_STATE_CONSUMER_PROBE. It also resets the status
back to DL_STATE_DORMANT or DL_STATE_AVAILABLE if the consumer probe
fails.

where it wouldn't transition correctly from DL_STATE_DORMANT or
DL_STATE_AVAILABLE to DL_STATE_CONSUMER_PROBE. It also resets the status
back to DL_STATE_DORMANT or DL_STATE_AVAILABLE if the consumer probe
fails.

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.

Commit 21c27f06587d ("driver core: Fix SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link
implementation") didn't completely fix STATELESS + SYNC_STATE_ONLY
handling.

What looks like an optimization in that commit is actually a bug that
causes an if condition to always take the else path. This prevents
reordering of devices in the dpm_list when a DL_FLAG_STATELESS device
link is create on top of an existing DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device
link.

<id>21c27f06587d2c18150d27ca2382a509ec55c482</id>
<content type='text'>
When SYNC_STATE_ONLY support was added in commit 05ef983e0d65 ("driver
core: Add device link support for SYNC_STATE_ONLY flag"),
device_link_add() incorrectly skipped adding the new SYNC_STATE_ONLY
device link to the supplier's and consumer's "device link" list.

This causes multiple issues:
- The device link is lost forever from driver core if the caller
  didn't keep track of it (caller typically isn't expected to). This is
  a memory leak.
- The device link is also never visible to any other code path after
  device_link_add() returns.

If we fix the "device link" list handling, that exposes a bunch of
issues.

1. The device link "status" state management code rightfully doesn't
handle the case where a DL_FLAG_MANAGED device link exists between a
supplier and consumer, but the consumer manages to probe successfully
before the supplier. The addition of DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY links break
this assumption. This causes device_links_driver_bound() to throw a
warning when this happens.

Since DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links are mainly used for creating
proxy device links for child device dependencies and aren't useful once
the consumer device probes successfully, this patch just deletes
DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links once its consumer device probes.
This way, we avoid the warning, free up some memory and avoid
complicating the device links "status" state management code.

2. Creating a DL_FLAG_STATELESS device link between two devices that
already have a DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link will result in the
DL_FLAG_STATELESS flag not getting set correctly. This patch also fixes
this.

Lastly, this patch also fixes minor whitespace issues.

<title>driver core: Ensure wait_for_device_probe() waits until the deferred_probe_timeout fires</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit c8c43cee29f6 ("driver core: Fix
driver_deferred_probe_check_state() logic"), we set the default
driver_deferred_probe_timeout value to 30 seconds to allow for
drivers that are missing dependencies to have some time so that
the dependency may be loaded from userland after initcalls_done
is set.

However, Yoshihiro Shimoda reported that on his device that
expects to have unmet dependencies (due to "optional links" in
its devicetree), was failing to mount the NFS root.

In digging further, it seemed the problem was that while the
device properly probes after waiting 30 seconds for any missing
modules to load, the ip_auto_config() had already failed,
resulting in NFS to fail. This was due to ip_auto_config()
calling wait_for_device_probe() which doesn't wait for the
driver_deferred_probe_timeout to fire.

This patch tries to fix the issue by creating a waitqueue
for the driver_deferred_probe_timeout, and calling wait_event()
to make sure driver_deferred_probe_timeout is zero in
wait_for_device_probe() to make sure all the probing is
finished.

The downside to this solution is that kernel functionality that
uses wait_for_device_probe(), will block until the
driver_deferred_probe_timeout fires, regardless of if there is
any missing dependencies.

However, the previous patch reverts the default timeout value to
zero, so this side-effect will only affect users who specify a
driver_deferred_probe_timeout= value as a boot argument, where
the additional delay would be beneficial to allow modules to
load later during boot.

Thanks to Geert for chasing down that ip_auto_config was why NFS
was failing in this case!

In commit c8c43cee29f6 ("driver core: Fix
driver_deferred_probe_check_state() logic") and following
changes the logic was changes slightly so that if there is no
driver to match whats found in the dtb, we wait the sepcified
seconds for modules to be loaded by userland, and then timeout,
where as previously we'd print "ignoring dependency for device,
assuming no driver" and immediately return -ENODEV after
initcall_done.

However, in the timeout case (which previously existed but was
practicaly un-used without a boot argument), the timeout message
uses dev_WARN(). This means folks are now seeing a big backtrace
in their boot logs if there a entry in their dts that doesn't
have a driver.

To fix this, lets use dev_warn(), instead of dev_WARN() to match
the previous error path.

This patch addresses a regression in 5.7-rc1+

In commit c8c43cee29f6 ("driver core: Fix
driver_deferred_probe_check_state() logic"), we both cleaned up
the logic and also set the default driver_deferred_probe_timeout
value to 30 seconds to allow for drivers that are missing
dependencies to have some time so that the dependency may be
loaded from userland after initcalls_done is set.

However, Yoshihiro Shimoda reported that on his device that
expects to have unmet dependencies (due to "optional links" in
its devicetree), was failing to mount the NFS root.

In digging further, it seemed the problem was that while the
device properly probes after waiting 30 seconds for any missing
modules to load, the ip_auto_config() had already failed,
resulting in NFS to fail. This was due to ip_auto_config()
calling wait_for_device_probe() which doesn't wait for the
driver_deferred_probe_timeout to fire.

Fixing that issue is possible, but could also introduce 30
second delays in bootups for users who don't have any
missing dependencies, which is not ideal.

So I think the best solution to avoid any regressions is to
revert back to a default timeout value of zero, and allow
systems that need to utilize the timeout in order for userland
to load any modules that supply misisng dependencies in the dts
to specify the timeout length via the exiting documented boot
argument.

Thanks to Geert for chasing down that ip_auto_config was why NFS
was failing in this case!
