[ Upstream commit c872fc05380c4eb2761ab289ce6a215c9bfa9576 ]

Discovery: Fuzzing for secure supply chain requirements
Tool: amd_fuzzing_sysfs (IGT test)

The AMDGPU power management sysfs store functions accept whitespace-only
strings when they should reject them with -EINVAL. This was discovered via
systematic fuzzing of sysfs interfaces crossing the user/kernel trust
boundary.

Affected functions:
- amdgpu_set_power_dpm_force_performance_level (power_dpm_force_performance_level)
- amdgpu_set_power_dpm_state (power_dpm_state)
- amdgpu_set_pp_power_profile_mode (pp_power_profile_mode)
- amdgpu_read_mask (used by pp_dpm_sclk/mclk/fclk/socclk/pcie)
- amdgpu_set_pp_features (pp_features)

Impact:
- Whitespace-only writes (e.g., "\n", " ") can cause unexpected behavior
- Better input validation at user/kernel trust boundary
- Defense-in-depth improvement

Root Cause:
The sysfs_streq() function matches whitespace-only strings against empty
string, allowing invalid input to be processed.

Fix:
Add explicit validation at the start of each affected store function:

    if (count == 0 || sysfs_streq(buf, ""))
        return -EINVAL;

This rejects whitespace-only inputs before they are processed. Note that
write() calls with count=0 (truly empty strings) are handled by the VFS
layer before reaching the sysfs .store() callback - the VFS returns 0
(success) without calling the kernel function. This is POSIX-compliant
behavior and cannot be changed at the kernel driver level.

What This Patch Fixes:
- Whitespace-only strings: "\n", " ", "  ", etc. are now rejected
- Defense-in-depth: Explicit validation at trust boundary
- Code clarity: Intent to reject invalid input is explicit

What This Patch Cannot Fix:
- write(fd, "", 0) returning success - this is VFS layer behavior
- Fuzzer tests for empty strings (count=0) will still report "accepted"
  because the VFS handles this before the kernel callback

Test Results After Fix:
- Whitespace strings ("\n", " ") now properly rejected
- Empty string tests (count=0) still show as "accepted" due to VFS behavior
- Overall improvement in input validation robustness
- No impact on valid inputs

This is a defense-in-depth improvement that hardens input validation
even though VFS layer behavior prevents catching all edge cases.

Tested: amd_fuzzing_sysfs IGT test

move the semicolon from the macro definition to the invocation sites instead.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

The driver uses strncmp() to compare sysfs attribute strings,
which does not handle trailing newlines and lacks NULL safety.

sysfs_streq() is the recommended function for sysfs string equality
checks in the kernel, providing safer and more correct behavior.
