commit 111bb7f9f4a90b32e495d70a607c67b137f3074a upstream.

stm32f7_i2c_compute_timing() derives the I2C clock source period
(i2cclk) with DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST, which may round it up. When the
period is overestimated, all timings computed from it (SCLDEL,
SDADEL, SCLL, SCLH) come out shorter on the wire than calculated,
and the resulting bus rate can exceed the requested speed, violating
the I2C specification minimums for tLOW and tHIGH.

For example, with a 104.45 MHz clock source (e.g. PCLK1, the
reset-default I2C clock source on STM32MP1), i2cclk is rounded from
9.574 ns up to 10 ns. Requesting a 400 kHz fast mode bus with
72/27 ns rise/fall times and no analog/digital filters then produces
an actual bus rate of 415.6 kHz with tLOW = 1254 ns, violating both
the 400 kHz maximum rate and the 1300 ns tLOW minimum of the
specification.

Truncate the period instead, so that it can only be underestimated.
The error then falls on the safe side: the programmed timings come
out slightly longer than computed and the bus runs marginally below
the target rate (375.3 kHz in the example above) while meeting the
specification.

i2cbus is left rounded-to-closest: it is only used as the target of
the clk_error comparison and is never multiplied into the programmed
timings, so nearest rounding remains accurate there.

commit 2e9a7f68329be41792c0b123c28e6c53c2fa2249 upstream.

At first glance the harmless cleanup of the driver does nothing bad.
However, as the operator precedence list states the '*' (multiplication)
and '/' division operators have order 5 with left-to-right associativity
the *= has order 17 and associativity right-to-left. It wouldn't be
a problem to replace

	foo = foo * HZ / 1000000;

with

	foo *= HZ / 1000000;

if HZ constant is in Hertz. The problem is that in the Linux kernel HZ is
defined in jiffy units, which is order of magnitude smaller than a million.
That's why operator precedence has a crucial role here. Fix the regression
by reverting pre-optimized calculations.

commit b1a58ed9eab146b36f41a55db8f5d7ce9fdedf3f upstream.

Adapters can be looked up by their id using i2c_get_adapter() which
takes a reference to the embedded struct device.

Remove the adapter from the IDR before tearing it down during
deregistration (and on registration failure) to make sure its resources
are not accessed after having been freed (e.g. the device name).

commit 07d5fb537928aad4369aaff0cbae73ba38a719af upstream.

Clients can be registered from bus notifier callbacks so the debugfs
directory needs to be created before registering the adapter as clients
use that directory as their debugfs parent.

Move debugfs creation before adapter registration to avoid having
clients create their debugfs directories in the debugfs root (which is
also more likely to fail due to name collisions).

Note that failure to allocate the adapter name must now be handled
explicitly as debugfs_create_dir() cannot handle a NULL name (unlike
device_add() which returns an error).

commit 158efa411c57111d87bf265a3776614f32d70007 upstream.

Drivers must not probe defer after having registered devices as that
will trigger a probe loop if the devices bind to a driver (cf. commit
fbc35b45f9f6 ("Add documentation on meaning of -EPROBE_DEFER")).

Move the recovery initialisation, where the GPIO lookup may fail, before
registering the adapter to prevent this.

commit 2295d2bb101faa663fbc45fadbb3fec45f107441 upstream.

If adapter registration ever fails the release callback would trigger a
NULL-pointer dereference as the completion struct has not been
initialised.

Note that before the offending commit this would instead have resulted
in a minor memory leak of the adapter name.

commit 3c7e164344e5bcf6f274bbf59a3274f5caad9bc1 upstream.

Clients may be registered from bus notifier callbacks when the adapter
is registered. On a subsequent error during registration, the adapter
references taken by such clients prevent the wait for the references to
be released from ever completing.

Fix this by refactoring client deregistration and deregistering also on
late adapter registration failures.

commit ba14d7cf2fe7284610a29854bdff22b2537d3ce6 upstream.

Adapters can be looked up based on their id using i2c_get_adapter()
which takes a reference to the embedded struct device.

Make sure that the adapter (including its struct device) has been
initialised before adding it to the IDR to avoid accessing uninitialised
data which could, for example, lead to NULL-pointer dereferences or
use-after-free.

Note that the i2c-dev chardev, which is registered from a bus notifier,
currently uses i2c_get_adapter() so the adapter needs to be added to the
IDR before registration.

<title>i2c: stub: Reject I2C block transfers with invalid length</title>

commit 6036b5067a8199ba7a2dc7b377d4b9dd276d5f9e upstream.

The I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA case in stub_xfer() uses data-&gt;block[0]
as the transfer length. The existing check only clamps it to avoid
overrunning the chip-&gt;words[256] register array, but does not validate
it against I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which is the limit of the union
i2c_smbus_data.block buffer (34 bytes total). The driver is a
development/test tool (CONFIG_I2C_STUB=m, not built by default)
that must be loaded with a chip_addr= parameter.

A local user with access to /dev/i2c-* can issue an I2C_SMBUS ioctl
with I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA and data-&gt;block[0] &gt; 32, causing
stub_xfer() to read or write past the end of the union
i2c_smbus_data.block buffer:

 BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in stub_xfer (drivers/i2c/i2c-stub.c:223)
 Read of size 1 at addr ffff88800abcfd92 by task exploit/81
 Call Trace:
  &lt;TASK&gt;
  stub_xfer (drivers/i2c/i2c-stub.c:223)
  __i2c_smbus_xfer (drivers/i2c/i2c-core-smbus.c:593)

  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:130)
  &lt;/TASK&gt;

The bug exists because i2c-stub implements .smbus_xfer directly,
bypassing the I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX validation in
i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated(). The I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA case in the same
function correctly validates against I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX, but the
I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA case does not.

Fix by rejecting transfers with data-&gt;block[0] == 0 or
data-&gt;block[0] &gt; I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX with -EINVAL, consistent with
both the I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA case in the same function and the
I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA validation in i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated().
