[ Upstream commit 8ffcb7560b4a15faf821df95e3ab532b2b020f8c ]

The source and destination of some strcpy operations was the same.
Split out the part of the operations that needed to be done for those
particular calls so the unnecessary copy wasn't done.

[ Upstream commit ec50ec378e3fd83bde9b3d622ceac3509a60b6b5 ]

During BMC firmware upgrades on live systems, the ipmi_msghandler
generates excessive "BMC returned incorrect response" warnings
while the BMC is temporarily offline. This can flood system logs
in large deployments.

Replace dev_warn() with dev_warn_ratelimited() to throttle these
warnings and prevent log spam during BMC maintenance operations.

misc_init() returns -EIO for __register_chrdev() invocation failure, but:

- -EIO is for I/O error normally, but __register_chrdev() does not do I/O.
- -EIO can not cover various error codes returned by __register_chrdev().

Fix by returning error code of __register_chrdev().

<title>tpm: tpm_crb_ffa: try to probe tpm_crb_ffa when it's built-in</title>

[ Upstream commit 746d9e9f62a6e8ba0eba2b83fc61cfe7fa8797ce ]

To generate the boot_aggregate log in the IMA subsystem using TPM PCR
values, the TPM driver must be built as built-in and must be probed
before the IMA subsystem is initialized.

However, when the TPM device operates over the FF-A protocol using the
CRB interface, probing fails and returns -EPROBE_DEFER if the
tpm_crb_ffa device — an FF-A device that provides the communication
interface to the tpm_crb driver — has not yet been probed.

This issue occurs because both crb_acpi_driver_init() and
tpm_crb_ffa_driver_init() are registered with device_initcall.  As a
result, crb_acpi_driver_init() may be invoked before
tpm_crb_ffa_driver_init(), which is responsible for probing the
tpm_crb_ffa device.

When this happens, IMA fails to detect the TPM device and logs the
following message:

  | ima: No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!

Consequently, it cannot generate the boot_aggregate log with the PCR
values provided by the TPM.

To resolve this issue, the tpm_crb_ffa_init() function explicitly
attempts to probe the tpm_crb_ffa by register tpm_crb_ffa driver so that
when tpm_crb_ffa device is created before tpm_crb_ffa_init(), probe the
tpm_crb_ffa device in tpm_crb_ffa_init() to finish probe the TPM device
completely.

This ensures that the TPM device using CRB over FF-A can be successfully
probed, even if crb_acpi_driver_init() is called first.

<title>tpm: Check for completion after timeout</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit d4640c394f23b202a89512346cf28f6622a49031 ]

The current implementation of timeout detection works in the following
way:

1. Read completion status. If completed, return the data
2. Sleep for some time (usleep_range)
3. Check for timeout using current jiffies value. Return an error if
   timed out
4. Goto 1

usleep_range doesn't guarantee it's always going to wake up strictly in
(min, max) range, so such a situation is possible:

1. Driver reads completion status. No completion yet
2. Process sleeps indefinitely. In the meantime, TPM responds
3. We check for timeout without checking for the completion again.
   Result is lost.

Such a situation also happens for the guest VMs: if vCPU goes to sleep
and doesn't get scheduled for some time, the guest TPM driver will
timeout instantly after waking up without checking for the completion
(which may already be in place).

Perform the completion check once again after exiting the busy loop in
order to give the device the last chance to send us some data.

Since now we check for completion in two places, extract this check into
a separate function.

commit fa332f5dc6fc662ad7d3200048772c96b861cf6b upstream.

The "intf" list iterator is an invalid pointer if the correct
"intf-&gt;intf_num" is not found.  Calling atomic_dec(&amp;intf-&gt;nr_users) on
and invalid pointer will lead to memory corruption.

We don't really need to call atomic_dec() if we haven't called
atomic_add_return() so update the if (intf-&gt;in_shutdown) path as well.

recently changed to use a faux device instead. Therefore the sysfs path
has changed from /sys/devices/platform/telco_clock to
/sys/devices/faux/telco_clock.

With some Infineon chips the timeouts in tpm_tis_send_data (both B and
C) can reach up to about 2250 ms.

Timeout C is retried since
commit de9e33df7762 ("tpm, tpm_tis: Workaround failed command reception on Infineon devices")

Timeout B still needs to be extended.

The problem is most commonly encountered with context related operation
such as load context/save context. These are issued directly by the
kernel, and there is no retry logic for them.

When a filesystem is set up to use the TPM for unlocking the boot fails,
and restarting the userspace service is ineffective. This is likely
because ignoring a load context/save context result puts the real TPM
state and the TPM state expected by the kernel out of sync.

Chips known to be affected:
tpm_tis IFX1522:00: 2.0 TPM (device-id 0x1D, rev-id 54)
Description: SLB9672
Firmware Revision: 15.22

tpm_tis MSFT0101:00: 2.0 TPM (device-id 0x1B, rev-id 22)
Firmware Revision: 7.83

tpm_tis MSFT0101:00: 2.0 TPM (device-id 0x1A, rev-id 16)
Firmware Revision: 5.63
