commit 9bdc30e35cbc1aa78ccf01040354209f1e11ca22 upstream.

Currently, the battery timer is set up for all devices using
hid-magicmouse, irrespective of whether they actually need it or not.

The current implementation requires the battery timer for Magic Mouse 2
and Magic Trackpad 2 when connected via USB only. Add checks to ensure
that the battery timer is only set up when they are connected via USB.

[ Upstream commit 4051ead99888f101be92c7ce90d2de09aac6fd1c ]

Syzkaller can create many uhid devices that trigger
repeated warnings like:

  "hid-generic xxxx: unknown main item tag 0x0"

These messages can flood the system log, especially if a crash occurs
(e.g., with a slow UART console, leading to soft lockups). To mitigate
this, convert `hid_warn()` to use `dev_warn_ratelimited()`.

This helps reduce log noise and improves system stability under fuzzing
or faulty device scenarios.

commit c061046fe9ce3ff31fb9a807144a2630ad349c17 upstream.

Currently, the battery timer is set up for all devices using hid-apple,
irrespective of whether they actually have a battery or not.

APPLE_RDESC_BATTERY is a quirk that indicates the device has a battery
and needs the battery timer. This patch checks for this quirk before
setting up the timer, ensuring that only devices with a battery will
have the timer set up.

<title>HID: core: Harden s32ton() against conversion to 0 bits</title>

commit a6b87bfc2ab5bccb7ad953693c85d9062aef3fdd upstream.

Testing by the syzbot fuzzer showed that the HID core gets a
shift-out-of-bounds exception when it tries to convert a 32-bit
quantity to a 0-bit quantity.  Ideally this should never occur, but
there are buggy devices and some might have a report field with size
set to zero; we shouldn't reject the report or the device just because
of that.

Instead, harden the s32ton() routine so that it returns a reasonable
result instead of crashing when it is called with the number of bits
set to 0 -- the same as what snto32() does.

<title>HID: apple: validate feature-report field count to prevent NULL pointer dereference</title>

commit 1bb3363da862e0464ec050eea2fb5472a36ad86b upstream.

A malicious HID device with quirk APPLE_MAGIC_BACKLIGHT can trigger a NULL
pointer dereference whilst the power feature-report is toggled and sent to
the device in apple_magic_backlight_report_set(). The power feature-report
is expected to have two data fields, but if the descriptor declares one
field then accessing field[1] and dereferencing it in
apple_magic_backlight_report_set() becomes invalid
since field[1] will be NULL.

An example of a minimal descriptor which can cause the crash is something
like the following where the report with ID 3 (power report) only
references a single 1-byte field. When hid core parses the descriptor it
will encounter the final feature tag, allocate a hid_report (all members
of field[] will be zeroed out), create field structure and populate it,
increasing the maxfield to 1. The subsequent field[1] access and
dereference causes the crash.

Here we see the KASAN splat when the kernel dereferences the
NULL pointer and crashes:

hid_hw_raw_request() is actually useful to ensure the provided buffer

commit 0d0777ccaa2d46609d05b66ba0096802a2746193 upstream.

The low level transport driver expects the first byte to be the report
ID, even when the report ID is not use (in which case they just shift
the buffer).

However, __hid_request() whas not offsetting the buffer it used by one
in this case, meaning that the raw_request() callback emitted by the
transport driver would be stripped of the first byte.

Note: this changes the API for uhid devices when a request is made
through hid_hw_request. However, several considerations makes me think
this is fine:
- every request to a HID device made through hid_hw_request() would see
  that change, but every request made through hid_hw_raw_request()
  already has the new behaviour. So that means that the users are
  already facing situations where they might have or not the first byte
  being the null report ID when it is 0. We are making things more
  straightforward in the end.
- uhid is mainly used for BLE devices
- uhid is also used for testing, but I don't see that change a big issue
- for BLE devices, we can check which kernel module is calling
  hid_hw_request()
- and in those modules, we can check which are using a Bluetooth device
- and then we can check if the command is used with a report ID or not.
- surprise: none of the kernel module are using a report ID 0
- and finally, bluez, in its function set_report()[0], does the same
  shift if the report ID is 0 and the given buffer has a size &gt; 0.

commit 4f15ee98304b96e164ff2340e1dfd6181c3f42aa upstream.

When the report ID is not used, the low level transport drivers expect
the first byte to be 0. However, currently the allocated buffer not
account for that extra byte, meaning that instead of having 8 guaranteed
bytes for implement to be working, we only have 7.

<title>HID: nintendo: avoid bluetooth suspend/resume stalls</title>

[ Upstream commit 4a0381080397e77792a5168069f174d3e56175ff ]

Ensure we don't stall or panic the kernel when using bluetooth-connected
controllers. This was reported as an issue on android devices using
kernel 6.6 due to the resume hook which had been added for usb joycons.

First, set a new state value to JOYCON_CTLR_STATE_SUSPENDED in a
newly-added nintendo_hid_suspend. This makes sure we will not stall out
the kernel waiting for input reports during led classdev suspend. The
stalls could happen if connectivity is unreliable or lost to the
controller prior to suspend.

Second, since we lose connectivity during suspend, do not try
joycon_init() for bluetooth controllers in the nintendo_hid_resume path.

Tested via multiple suspend/resume flows when using the controller both
in USB and bluetooth modes.

[ Upstream commit 54bae4c17c11688339eb73a04fd24203bb6e7494 ]

The Chicony Electronics HP 5MP Cameras (USB ID 04F2:B824 &amp; 04F2:B82C)
report a HID sensor interface that is not actually implemented.
Attempting to access this non-functional sensor via iio_info causes
system hangs as runtime PM tries to wake up an unresponsive sensor.

Add these 2 devices to the HID ignore list since the sensor interface is
non-functional by design and should not be exposed to userspace.
