[ 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.

<title>virtio_console: fix missing byte order handling for cols and rows</title>

commit fbd3039a64b01b769040677c4fc68badeca8e3b2 upstream.

As per virtio spec the fields cols and rows are specified as little
endian. Although there is no legacy interface requirement that would
state that cols and rows need to be handled as native endian when legacy
interface is used, unlike for the fields of the adjacent struct
virtio_console_control, I decided to err on the side of caution based
on some non-conclusive virtio spec repo archaeology and opt for using
virtio16_to_cpu() much like for virtio_console_control.event. Strictly
by the letter of the spec virtio_le_to_cpu() would have been sufficient.
But when the legacy interface is not used, it boils down to the same.

And when using the legacy interface, the device formatting these as
little endian when the guest is big endian would surprise me more than
it using guest native byte order (which would make it compatible with
the current implementation). Nevertheless somebody trying to implement
the spec following it to the letter could end up forcing little endian
byte order when the legacy interface is in use. So IMHO this ultimately
needs a judgement call by the maintainers.

[ Upstream commit b9efbe2b8f0177fa97bfab290d60858900aa196b ]

This fixes the following issue discovered by code review:

after vqs have been created, a buggy device can send an interrupt.

A control vq callback will then try to schedule control_work which has
not been initialized yet. Similarly for config interrupt.  Further, in
and out vq callbacks invoke find_port_by_vq which attempts to take
ports_lock which also has not been initialized.

To fix, init all locks and work before creating vqs.

[ Upstream commit e3aaebcbb7c6b403416f442d1de70d437ce313a7 ]

tpm_dev_transmit prepares the TPM space before attempting command
transmission. However if the command fails no rollback of this
preparation is done. This can result in transient handles being leaked
if the device is subsequently closed with no further commands performed.

Fix this by flushing the space in the event of command transmission
failure.

amd_rng_mod_init() uses pci_read_config_dword() that returns PCIBIOS_*
codes. The return code is then returned as is but amd_rng_mod_init() is
a module_init() function that should return normal errnos.

Convert PCIBIOS_* returns code using pcibios_err_to_errno() into normal
errno before returning it.

commit 5d8e2971e817bb64225fc0b6327a78752f58a9aa upstream.

In tpm_bios_measurements_open(), get_device() is called on the device
embedded in struct tpm_chip. In the error path, however, put_device() is
not called. This results in a reference count leak, which prevents the
device from being properly released. This commit makes sure to call
put_device() when the seq_open() call fails.

commit 5d8e2971e817bb64225fc0b6327a78752f58a9aa upstream.

In tpm_bios_measurements_open(), get_device() is called on the device
embedded in struct tpm_chip. In the error path, however, put_device() is
not called. This results in a reference count leak, which prevents the
device from being properly released. This commit makes sure to call
put_device() when the seq_open() call fails.
