commit cc095f0ac1f7c200e51a5c2a78a43c9f42049dbb upstream.

device_remove_group() was called on any cleanup, even if the
device attrs had not been added yet.  That can occur in certain
error scenarios, so add a flag to know if it has been added.

Also make sure we remove the dev if we added it ourselves.

commit b5b38200ebe54879a7264cb6f33821f61c586a7e upstream.

Successes in probe_kernel_read() would mask failures in copy_to_user()
during read_mem().

Discrete TPMs are often connected over slow serial buses which, on
some platforms, can have glitches causing bit flips.  If a bit does
flip it could cause an overrun if it's in one of the size parameters,
so sanity check that we're not overrunning the provided buffer when
doing a memcpy().

Discrete TPMs are often connected over slow serial buses which, on
some platforms, can have glitches causing bit flips.  In all the
driver _recv() functions, we need to use a u32 to unmarshal the
response size, otherwise a bit flip of the 31st bit would cause the
expected variable to go negative, which would then try to read a huge
amount of data.  Also sanity check that the expected amount of data is
large enough for the TPM header.

x86_mask is a confusing name which is hard to associate with the
processor's stepping.

Additionally, correct an indent issue in lib/cpu.c.

x86_mask is a confusing name which is hard to associate with the
processor's stepping.

Additionally, correct an indent issue in lib/cpu.c.

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.
