<content type='text'>
commit 7bab0f09d753f098977bbba3955d694c2e2c25da upstream.

Change the return type of drm_sysfb_get_visible_size() to s64 so
that it returns a possible errno code from _get_validated_size0().
Fix callers to handle the errno code.

The currently returned unsigned type converts an errno code to a
very large size value, which drivers interpret as visible size of
the system framebuffer. Later efforts to reserve the framebuffer
resource fail.

The bug has been present since efidrm and vesadrm got merged. It
was then part of each driver.

commit b771974988ec7ce077a7246fa0fa588c246fe581 upstream.

Calculating the visible size of the system framebuffer can result in
truncation of the result. The calculation uses 32-bit arithmetics,
which can overflow if the values for height and stride are large. Fix
the issue by multiplying with mul_u32_u32().

commit 9206b22fb959f4a9cf1921f34aed0df1dcb1ab04 upstream.

Passing a maximum as 64-bit type to drm_sysfb_get_validated_int0()
can truncate the value to 32 bits. Use drm_sysfb_get_validated_size0(),
which uses 64-bit arithmetics. Then test the returned stride against
the limits of int to avoid truncations in the returned value. A valid
stride is in the range of [1, INT_MAX] inclusive.

commit 134844856c399bfa9462a159dcf860bfdb748055 upstream.

Only return the actually visible size of the system framebuffer in
drm_sysfb_get_visible_size_si(). Drivers use this size value for
reserving access to framebuffer memory. Increasing the value can
make later attempts to do so fail.

display_get_pci_dev_of() gets a referenced PCI device via
pci_get_device(). Drop that reference when pci_enable_device() fails and
release it during the managed teardown path after pci_disable_device().

Without that, ofdrm leaks the pci_dev reference on both the error path
and the normal cleanup path.

Fix incorrect error checking and memory type confusion in
efidrm_device_create(). devm_memremap() returns error pointers, not
NULL, and returns system memory while devm_ioremap() returns I/O memory.
The code incorrectly passes system memory to iosys_map_set_vaddr_iomem().

Restructure to handle each memory type separately. Use devm_ioremap*()
with ERR_PTR(-ENXIO) for WC/UC, and devm_memremap() with ERR_CAST() for
WT/WB.

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 *".
