commit 46edb8d1322c1763dd04e179992f8e9996085047 upstream.

The device/driver model clearly mandates that bus driver that discover
and allocate the device must set the release callback. This callback
will be used to free the device after all references have gone away.

scmi bus driver is missing the obvious callback which will result in
the following warning if the device is unregistered:

Device 'scmi_dev.1' does not have a release() function, it is broken and
must be fixed. See Documentation/kobject.txt.

Fix the issue by providing scmi_device_release callback. We have
everything required for device release already in scmi_device_destroy,
so we just need to move freeing of the device to scmi_device_release.

<title>firmware/efi: Add NULL pointer checks in efivars API functions</title>

[ Upstream commit ab2180a15ce54739fed381efb4cb12e78dfb1561 ]

Since commit:

   ce2e6db554fa ("brcmfmac: Add support for getting nvram contents from EFI variables")

we have a device driver accessing the efivars API. Several functions in
the efivars API assume __efivars is set, i.e., that they will be accessed
only after efivars_register() has been called. However, the following NULL
pointer access was reported calling efivar_entry_size() from the brcmfmac
device driver:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008
  pgd = 60bfa5f1

Disassembly showed that the local static variable __efivars is NULL,
which is not entirely unexpected given that it is a non-EFI platform.

So add a NULL pointer check to efivar_entry_size(), and to related
functions while at it. In efivars_register() a couple of sanity checks
are added as well.

[ Upstream commit 3db5e0ba8b8f4aee631d7ee04b7a11c56cfdc213 ]

When building the kernel with Clang, some disabled warnings appear
because this Makefile overrides KBUILD_CFLAGS for x86{,_64}. Add them to
this list so that the build is clean again.

-Wpointer-sign was disabled for the whole kernel before the beginning of Git history.

-Waddress-of-packed-member was disabled for the whole kernel and for
the early boot code in these commits:

  bfb38988c51e ("kbuild: clang: Disable 'address-of-packed-member' warning")
  20c6c1890455 ("x86/boot: Disable the address-of-packed-member compiler warning").

-Wgnu was disabled for the whole kernel and for the early boot code in
these commits:

  61163efae020 ("kbuild: LLVMLinux: Add Kbuild support for building kernel with Clang")
  6c3b56b19730 ("x86/boot: Disable Clang warnings about GNU extensions").

 [ mingo: Made the changelog more readable. ]

Commit:

  3ea86495aef2 ("efi/arm: preserve early mapping of UEFI memory map longer for BGRT")

deferred the unmap of the early mapping of the UEFI memory map to
accommodate the ACPI BGRT code, which looks up the memory type that
backs the BGRT table to validate it against the requirements of the UEFI spec.

Unfortunately, this causes problems on ARM, which does not permit
early mappings to persist after paging_init() is called, resulting
in a WARN() splat. Since we don't support the BGRT table on ARM anway,
let's revert ARM to the old behaviour, which is to take down the
early mapping at the end of efi_init().

commit 41f1c48420709470c51ee0e54b6fb28b956bb4e0 upstream.

When building with CONFIG_EFI and CONFIG_EFI_STUB on ARM, the libstub
Makefile would use -mno-single-pic-base without checking it was
supported by the compiler. As the ARM (32-bit) clang backend does not
support this flag, the build would fail.

This changes the Makefile to check the compiler's support for
-mno-single-pic-base before using it, similar to c1c386681bd7 ("ARM:
8767/1: add support for building ARM kernel with clang").

<title>efi/arm/libstub: Pack FDT after populating it</title>

commit 72a58a63a164b4e9d2d914e65caeb551846883f1 upstream.

Commit:

  24d7c494ce46 ("efi/arm-stub: Round up FDT allocation to mapping size")

increased the allocation size for the FDT image created by the stub to a
fixed value of 2 MB, to simplify the former code that made several
attempts with increasing values for the size. This is reasonable
given that the allocation is of type EFI_LOADER_DATA, which is released
to the kernel unless it is explicitly memblock_reserve()d by the early
boot code.

However, this allocation size leaked into the 'size' field of the FDT
header metadata, and so the entire allocation remains occupied by the
device tree binary, even if most of it is not used to store device tree
information.

So call fdt_pack() to shrink the FDT data structure to its minimum size
after populating all the fields, so that the remaining memory is no
longer wasted.

[ Upstream commit 20edec388277b62ddfddb8b2b376a937a2cd6d1b ]

Both callers of coreboot_table_init() ioremap the pointer that comes in
but they don't unmap the memory on failure. Both of them also fail probe
immediately with the return value of coreboot_table_init(), leaking a
mapping when it fails. The mapping isn't necessary at all after devices
are populated either, so we can just drop the mapping here when we exit
the function. Let's do that to simplify the code a bit and plug the leak.

Firmware can provide zero as values for sustained performance level and
corresponding sustained frequency in kHz in order to hide the actual
frequencies and provide only abstract values. It may endup with divide
by zero scenario resulting in kernel panic.

Let's set the multiplication factor to one if either one or both of them
(sustained_perf_level and sustained_freq) are set to zero.

Pull fbdev updates from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz:
 "Mostly small fixes and cleanups for fb drivers (the biggest updates
  are for udlfb and pxafb drivers). This also adds deferred console
  takeover support to the console code and efifb driver.

  Summary:

   - add support for deferred console takeover, when enabled defers
     fbcon taking over the console from the dummy console until the
     first text is displayed on the console - together with the "quiet"
     kernel commandline option this allows fbcon to still be used
     together with a smooth graphical bootup (Hans de Goede)

   - improve console locking debugging code (Thomas Zimmermann)

   - copy the ACPI BGRT boot graphics to the framebuffer when deferred
     console takeover support is used in efifb driver (Hans de Goede)

   - update udlfb driver - fix lost console when the user unplugs a USB
     adapter, fix the screen corruption issue, fix locking and add some
     performance optimizations (Mikulas Patocka)

   - update pxafb driver - fix using uninitialized memory, switch to
     devm_* API, handle initialization errors and add support for
     lcd-supply regulator (Daniel Mack)

   - add support for boards booted with a DeviceTree in pxa3xx_gcu
     driver (Daniel Mack)

   - rename omap2 module to omap2fb.ko to avoid conflicts with omap1
     driver (Arnd Bergmann)

   - enable ACPI-based enumeration for goldfishfb driver (Yu Ning)

   - fix goldfishfb driver to make user space Android code use 60 fps
     (Christoffer Dall)

   - print big fat warning when nomodeset kernel parameter is used in
     vgacon driver (Lyude Paul)

   - remove VLA usage from fsl-diu-fb driver (Kees Cook)

   - misc fixes (Julia Lawall, Geert Uytterhoeven, Fredrik Noring,
     Yisheng Xie, Dan Carpenter, Daniel Vetter, Anton Vasilyev, Randy
     Dunlap, Gustavo A. R. Silva, Colin Ian King, Fengguang Wu)
