commit f4e81c529767b9a33d1b27695c54dc84a14af30d upstream.

The GPIO chardev is used for management tasks (allocating line and event
handles) and does neither support read() nor write() operations. Hence it
does not make much sense to allow seek operations.

Currently the chardev uses noop_llseek() for its seek implementation. This
function does not move the pointer and simply returns the current position
(always 0 for the GPIO chardev). noop_llseek() is primarily meant for
devices that can not support seek, but where there might be a user that
depends on the seek() operation succeeding. For newly added devices that
can not support seek operations it is recommended to use no_llseek(), which
will return an error. For more information see commit 6038f373a3dc
("llseek: automatically add .llseek fop").

Unfortunately this was overlooked when the GPIO chardev ABI was introduced.
But it is highly unlikely that since then userspace applications have
appeared that rely on being able to perform non-failing seek operations on
a GPIO chardev file descriptor. So it should be safe to change from
noop_llseel() to no_seek(). Also use nonseekable_open() in the chardev
open() callback to clear the FMODE_SEEK, FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE flags
from the file. Neither of these should be set on a file that does not
support seek operations.

commit 53f8d322234649b4d6f1515b20c127a577efd164 upstream.

gpiod_set_array_value_complex does not clear the bits field.
Therefore when the drivers set_multiple funciton is called bits outside
the mask are undefined and can be either set or not. So bank_val needs
to be masked with bank_mask before or with the reg_val cache.

commit 386377b5473043c09b2de40bfe5abfb0fc87e1b4 upstream.

Need to ensure that reg_output is not updated while setting multiple
bits. This makes the mutex locking behaviour for the set_multiple call
consistent with that of the set_value call.

<title>gpio: do not double-check direction on sleeping chips</title>

commit 60f8339eb388df8a46f8eb4282ff0e15f08f218c upstream.

When locking a GPIO line as IRQ, we go to lengths to
double-check that the line is really set as input before
marking it as used for IRQ. This is not good on GPIO chips
that can sleep, because this function is called in IRQ-safe
context. Just skip this if it can't be checked quickly.

Currently this happens on sleeping expanders such as STMPE
or TC3589x:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/1/0x00000002
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 4.9.0-rc1+ #38

(...)

This patch fixes that problem and relies on the direction
read from the chip when it was added.

<title>gpio: of: fix GPIO drivers with multiple gpio_chip for a single node</title>

commit c7e9d39831a31682285cc31ddf7dd06c0fe59138 upstream.

Sylvain Lemieux reports the LPC32xx GPIO driver is broken since
commit 762c2e46c059 ("gpio: of: remove of_gpiochip_and_xlate() and
struct gg_data").  Probably, gpio-etraxfs.c and gpio-davinci.c are
broken too.

Those drivers register multiple gpio_chip that are associated to a
single OF node, and their own .of_xlate() checks if the passed
gpio_chip is valid.

Now, the problem is of_find_gpiochip_by_node() returns the first
gpio_chip found to match the given node.  So, .of_xlate() fails,
except for the first GPIO bank.

Reverting the commit could be a solution, but I do not want to go
back to the mess of struct gg_data.  Another solution here is to
take the match by a node pointer and the success of .of_xlate().
It is a bit clumsy to call .of_xlate twice; for gpio_chip matching
and for really getting the gpio_desc index.  Perhaps, our long-term
goal might be to convert the drivers to single chip registration,
but this commit will solve the problem until then.

commit 812d47889a8e418d7bea9bec383581a34c19183e upstream.

This fixes the irq allocation in this driver to not print:
 irq: Cannot allocate irq_descs @ IRQ34, assuming pre-allocated
 irq: Cannot allocate irq_descs @ IRQ66, assuming pre-allocated

Which happens because the driver already called irq_alloc_descs()
and so the change to use irq_domain_add_simple resulted in calling
irq_alloc_descs() twice.

Modernize the irq allocation in this driver to use the
irq_domain_add_linear flow directly and eliminate the use of
irq_domain_add_simple/legacy

commit 953b956a2e6d35298e684f251bad98ea6c96f982 upstream.

When allocating a new line handle or event a file is allocated that it is
associated to. The file is attached to a file descriptor of the current
process and the file descriptor is returned to userspace using
copy_to_user(). If this copy operation fails the line handle or event
allocation is aborted, all acquired resources are freed and an error is
returned.

But the file struct is not freed and left attached to the userspace
application and even though the file descriptor number was not copied it is
trivial to guess. If a userspace application performs a IOCTL on such a
left over file descriptor it will trigger a use-after-free and if the file
descriptor is closed (latest when the application exits) a double-free is
triggered.

anon_inode_getfd() performs 3 tasks, allocate a file struct, allocate a
file descriptor for the current process and install the file struct in the
file descriptor. As soon as the file struct is installed in the file
descriptor it is accessible by userspace (even if the IOCTL itself hasn't
completed yet), this means uninstalling the fd on the error path is not an
option, since userspace might already got a reference to the file.

Instead anon_inode_getfd() needs to be broken into its individual steps.
The allocation of the file struct and file descriptor is done first, then
the copy_to_user() is executed and only if it succeeds the file is
installed.

Since the file struct is reference counted it can not be just freed, but
its reference needs to be dropped, which will also call the release()
callback, which will free the state attached to the file. So in this case
the normal error cleanup path should not be taken.

commit d82aa4a8f2e8df9673ddb099262355da4c9b99b1 upstream.

The GPIOHANDLE_GET_LINE_VALUES_IOCTL handler allocates a gpiohandle_data
struct on the stack and then passes it to copy_to_user(). But only the
first element of the values array in the struct is set, which leaves the
struct partially initialized.

This exposes the previous, potentially sensitive, stack content to the
issuing userspace application. To avoid this make sure that the struct is
fully initialized.

commit ac7dbb991ee5afc0beacce3a252dcaaa249a7786 upstream.

The GPIO_GET_LINEEVENT_IOCTL currently ignores unknown or undefined
linehandle and lineevent flags. From a backwards and forwards compatibility
viewpoint it is highly desirable to reject unknown flags though.

On one hand an application that is using newer flags and is running on
an older kernel has no way to detect if the new flags were handled
correctly if they are silently discarded.

On the other hand an application that (accidentally) passes undefined flags
will run fine on an older kernel, but may break on a newer kernel when
these flags get defined.

Ensure that requests that have undefined flags set are rejected with an
error, rather than silently discarding the undefined flags.
