commit 34563769e438d2881f62cf4d9badc4e589ac0ec0 upstream.

Commit c6017e793b93 ("virtio: console: add locks around buffer removal
in port unplug path") added locking around the freeing of buffers in the
vq. However, when free_buf() is called with can_sleep = true and rproc
is enabled, it calls dma_free_coherent() directly, requiring interrupts
to be enabled. Currently a WARNING is triggered due to the spin locking
around free_buf, with a call stack like this:

WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 121 at ./include/linux/dma-mapping.h:433

Fix this by restructuring the loops to allow the locks to only be taken
where it is necessary to protect the vqs, and release it while the
buffer is being freed.

commit 6d4952d9d9d4dc2bb9c0255d95a09405a1e958f7 upstream.

hw_random carefully avoids using a stack buffer except in
add_early_randomness().  This causes a crash in virtio_rng if
CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y.

commit 9754d45e997000ad4021bc4606cc266bb38d876f upstream.

Some chips incorrectly support partial reads from TPM_STS register
at non-zero offsets. Read the entire 32-bits register instead of
making two 8-bit reads to support such devices and reduce the number
of bus transactions when obtaining the burstcount from TPM_STS.

commit 61dc0a446e5d08f2de8a24b45f69a1e302bb1b1b upstream.

pm_runtime_get_sync does return a error value that must be checked for
error conditions, else, due to various reasons, the device maynot be
enabled and the system will crash due to lack of clock to the hardware
module.

commit 4b44f2d18a330565227a7348844493c59366171e upstream.

The Hyper-V Linux Integration Services use the VMBus implementation for
communication with the Hypervisor. VMBus registers its own interrupt
handler that completely bypasses the common Linux interrupt handling.
This implies that the interrupt entropy collector is not triggered.

This patch adds the interrupt entropy collection callback into the VMBus
interrupt handler function.

commit 9b4d008787f864f17d008c9c15bbe8a0f7e2fc24 upstream.

Since systemd is consistently using /dev/urandom before it is
initialized, we can't see the other potentially dangerous users of
/dev/urandom immediately after boot.  So print the first ten such
complaints instead.

commit 7613663cc186f8f3c50279390ddc60286758001c upstream.

For security reasons ordinary user must not be able to control fan speed
via /proc/i8k by default. Some malicious software running under "nobody"
user could be able to turn fan off and cause HW problems. So this patch
changes default value of "restricted" parameter to 1.

Also restrict reading of DMI_PRODUCT_SERIAL from /proc/i8k via "restricted"
parameter. It is because non root user cannot read DMI_PRODUCT_SERIAL from
sysfs file /sys/class/dmi/id/product_serial.

Old non secure behaviour of file /proc/i8k can be achieved by loading this
module with "restricted" parameter set to 0.

Note that this patch has effects only for kernels compiled with CONFIG_I8K
and only for file /proc/i8k. Hwmon interface provided by this driver was
not changed and root access for setting fan speed was needed also before.

commit 309124e2648d668a0c23539c5078815660a4a850 upstream.

However, commit 153dcc54df826d2f ("[PATCH] mem driver: fix conditional
on isa i/o support") accidentally changed an "||" into an "&amp;&amp;",
disabling it completely on m68k. This logic was retained when
introducing the DEVPORT symbol in commit 4f911d64e04a44c4 ("Make
/dev/port conditional on config symbol").

Drop the bogus dependency on !M68K to fix this.

commit 309124e2648d668a0c23539c5078815660a4a850 upstream.

According to full-history-linux commit d3794f4fa7c3edc3 ("[PATCH] M68k
update (part 25)"), port operations are allowed on m68k if CONFIG_ISA is
defined.

However, commit 153dcc54df826d2f ("[PATCH] mem driver: fix conditional
on isa i/o support") accidentally changed an "||" into an "&amp;&amp;",
disabling it completely on m68k. This logic was retained when

<title>ipmi: move timer init to before irq is setup</title>

commit 27f972d3e00b50639deb4cc1392afaeb08d3cecc upstream.

We encountered a panic on boot in ipmi_si on a dell per320 due to an
uninitialized timer as follows.

static int smi_start_processing(void       *send_info,
                                ipmi_smi_t intf)
{
        /* Try to claim any interrupts. */
        if (new_smi-&gt;irq_setup)
                new_smi-&gt;irq_setup(new_smi);

 --&gt; IRQ arrives here and irq handler tries to modify uninitialized timer

    which triggers BUG_ON(!timer-&gt;function) in __mod_timer().

 Call Trace:
   &lt;IRQ&gt;
   [&lt;ffffffffa0532617&gt;] start_new_msg+0x47/0x80 [ipmi_si]
   [&lt;ffffffffa053269e&gt;] start_check_enables+0x4e/0x60 [ipmi_si]

        /* Set up the timer that drives the interface. */
        setup_timer(&amp;new_smi-&gt;si_timer, smi_timeout, (long)new_smi);

The following patch fixes the problem.

<title>TPM: Avoid reference to potentially freed memory</title>

commit eb8ed1eb9a158c460d10205eaff71fd4ac67c160 upstream.

Reference to the 'np' node is dropped before dereferencing the 'sizep' and
'basep' pointers, which could by then point to junk if the node has been
freed.

Refactor code to call 'of_node_put' later.
