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.

<title>tpm, tpm_tis: Fix timeout handling when waiting for TPM status</title>

commit 7146dffa875cd00e7a7f918e1fce79c7593ac1fa upstream.

The change to only use interrupts to handle supported status changes
introduced an issue when it is necessary to poll for the status. Rather
than checking for the status after sleeping the code now sleeps after
the check. This means a correct, but slower, status change on the part
of the TPM can be missed, resulting in a spurious timeout error,
especially on a more loaded system. Switch back to sleeping *then*
checking. An up front check of the status has been done at the start of
the function, so this does not cause an additional delay when the status
is already what we're looking for.

<title>tpm, tpm_tis: Workaround failed command reception on Infineon devices</title>

[ Upstream commit de9e33df7762abbfc2a1568291f2c3a3154c6a9d ]

Some Infineon devices have a issue where the status register will get
stuck with a quick REQUEST_USE / COMMAND_READY sequence. This is not
simply a matter of requiring a longer timeout; the work around is to
retry the command submission. Add appropriate logic to do this in the
send path.

This is fixed in later firmware revisions, but those are not always
available, and cannot generally be easily updated from outside a
firmware environment.

Testing has been performed with a simple repeated loop of doing a
TPM2_CC_GET_CAPABILITY for TPM_CAP_PROP_MANUFACTURER using the Go code
at:

  https://the.earth.li/~noodles/tpm-stuff/timeout-reproducer-simple.go

It can take several hours to reproduce, and several million operations.

Since the bios event log is freed in the device release function,
let devres handle the deallocation. This will allow other memory
allocation/mapping functions to be used for the bios event log.

commit c002f04c0bc79ec00d4beb75fb631d5bf37419bd upstream.

@unit_mutex protects @unit from being freed, so obviously it should be
released after @unit is used, and not before.

This is a follow-up to commit 282a4b71816b ("char: xillybus: Prevent
use-after-free due to race condition") which ensures, among others, the
protection of @private_data after @unit_mutex has been released.

@unit_mutex protects @unit from being freed, so obviously it should be
released after @unit is used, and not before.

This is a follow-up to commit 282a4b71816b ("char: xillybus: Prevent
use-after-free due to race condition") which ensures, among others, the
protection of @private_data after @unit_mutex has been released.

commit 282a4b71816b6076029017a7bab3a9dcee12a920 upstream.

The driver for XillyUSB devices maintains a kref reference count on each
xillyusb_dev structure, which represents a physical device. This reference
count reaches zero when the device has been disconnected and there are no
open file descriptors that are related to the device. When this occurs,
kref_put() calls cleanup_dev(), which clears up the device's data,
including the structure itself.

However, when xillyusb_open() is called, this reference count becomes
tricky: This function needs to obtain the xillyusb_dev structure that
relates to the inode's major and minor (as there can be several such).
xillybus_find_inode() (which is defined in xillybus_class.c) is called
for this purpose. xillybus_find_inode() holds a mutex that is global in
xillybus_class.c to protect the list of devices, and releases this
mutex before returning. As a result, nothing protects the xillyusb_dev's
reference counter from being decremented to zero before xillyusb_open()
increments it on its own behalf. Hence the structure can be freed
due to a rare race condition.

To solve this, a mutex is added. It is locked by xillyusb_open() before
the call to xillybus_find_inode() and is released only after the kref
counter has been incremented on behalf of the newly opened inode. This
protects the kref reference counters of all xillyusb_dev structs from
being decremented by xillyusb_disconnect() during this time segment, as
the call to kref_put() in this function is done with the same lock held.

There is no need to hold the lock on other calls to kref_put(), because
if xillybus_find_inode() finds a struct, xillyusb_disconnect() has not
made the call to remove it, and hence not made its call to kref_put(),
which takes place afterwards. Hence preventing xillyusb_disconnect's
call to kref_put() is enough to ensure that the reference doesn't reach
zero before it's incremented by xillyusb_open().

It would have been more natural to increment the reference count in
xillybus_find_inode() of course, however this function is also called by
Xillybus' driver for PCIe / OF, which registers a completely different
structure. Therefore, xillybus_find_inode() treats these structures as
void pointers, and accordingly can't make any changes.

[ 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.
