[ Upstream commit 7118be7c6072f40391923543fdd1563b8d56377c ]

If the caller wrote more characters, count is truncated to the max
available space in "simple_write_to_buffer". Check that the input
size does not exceed the buffer size. Write a zero termination
afterwards.

The return value of the set_config() callback may be propagated to
user-space. If a bad driver returns a positive number, it may confuse
user programs. Tighten the API contract and check for positive numbers
returned by GPIO controllers.

commit 3e38f946062b4845961ab86b726651b4457b2af8 upstream.

If an input changes state during wake-up and is used as an interrupt
source, the IRQ handler reads the volatile input register to clear the
interrupt mask and deassert the IRQ line. However, the IRQ handler is
triggered before access to the register is granted, causing the read
operation to fail.

As a result, the IRQ handler enters a loop, repeatedly printing the
"failed reading register" message, until `pca953x_resume()` is eventually
called, which restores the driver context and enables access to
registers.

Fix by disabling the IRQ line before entering suspend mode, and
re-enabling it after the driver context is restored in `pca953x_resume()`.

An IRQ can be disabled with disable_irq() and still wake the system as
long as the IRQ has wake enabled, so the wake-up functionality is
preserved.

commit 8323f3a69de6f6e96bf22f32dd8e2920766050c2 upstream.

When the Tegra186 GPIO controller is probed through ACPI matching,
the driver emits two error messages during probing:
  "tegra186-gpio NVDA0508:00: invalid resource (null)"
  "tegra186-gpio NVDA0508:00: invalid resource (null)"

Fix this by getting resource first and then do the ioremap.

We use a notifier to implement the mechanism of informing the user-space
about changes in GPIO line status. We register with the notifier when
the GPIO character device file is opened and unregister when the last
reference to the associated file descriptor is dropped.

Since commit fcc8b637c542 ("gpiolib: switch the line state notifier to
atomic") we use the atomic notifier variant. Atomic notifiers call
rcu_synchronize in atomic_notifier_chain_unregister() which caused a
significant performance regression in some circumstances, observed by
user-space when calling close() on the GPIO device file descriptor.

Replace the atomic notifier with the raw variant and provide
synchronization with a read-write spinlock.

During chip registration we should neither check the return value of
gc-&gt;get_direction() nor hold the SRCU lock when calling it. The former
is because pin controllers may have pins set to alternate functions and
return errors from their get_direction() callbacks. That's alright - we
should default to the safe INPUT state and not bail-out. The latter is
not needed because we haven't registered the chip yet so there's nothing
to protect against dynamic removal. In fact: we currently hit a lockdep
splat. Revert to calling the gc-&gt;get_direction() callback directly and
*not* checking its value.

Fixes: 9d846b1aebbe ("gpiolib: check the return value of gpio_chip::get_direction()")
