commit e25df7812c91f62581301f9a7ac102acf92e4937 upstream.

There is a potential NULL pointer dereference in case kzalloc()
fails and returns NULL.

Fix this by adding a NULL check on *session*

Also, update the function header with information about the
expected return on failure and remove unnecessary variable rc.

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

commit f7ee8ead151f9d0b8dac6ab6c3ff49bbe809c564 upstream.

Add the Denverton innovation engine (IE) device ids.
The IE is an ME-like device which provides HW security

Some vqs may not need to be allocated when their related feature bits
are disabled. So callers may pass in such vqs with "names = NULL".
Then we skip such vq allocations.

commit 2f07229f02d4c55affccd11a61af4fd4b94dc436 upstream.

The AFU Descriptor Template in the PCI config space has a Name Space
field which is a 24 Byte ASCII character string of descriptive name
space for the AFU. The OCXL driver read the string four characters at
a time with pci_read_config_dword().

This optimization is valid on a little-endian system since this is PCI,
but a big-endian system ends up with each subset of four characters in
reverse order.

This could be fixed by switching to read characters one by one. Another
option is to swap the bytes if we're big-endian.

Go for the latter with le32_to_cpu().

commit e1e71e201703500f708bdeaf64660a2a178cb6a0 upstream.

All fields in the PE are big-endian. Use cpu_to_be32() like everywhere
else something is written to the PE. Otherwise a wrong TID will be used
by the NPU. If this TID happens to point to an existing thread sharing
the same mm, it could be woken up by error. This is highly improbable
though. The likely outcome of this is the NPU not finding the target
thread and forcing the AFU into sending an interrupt, which userspace
is supposed to handle anyway.

else something is written to the PE. Otherwise a wrong TID will be used
by the NPU. If this TID happens to point to an existing thread sharing
the same mm, it could be woken up by error. This is highly improbable
though. The likely outcome of this is the NPU not finding the target
thread and forcing the AFU into sending an interrupt, which userspace
is supposed to handle anyway.

After building the kernel with Clang, the following section mismatch
warning appears:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3bf19a6): Section mismatch in reference from
the function ssc_probe() to the function
.init.text:atmel_ssc_get_driver_data()
The function ssc_probe() references
the function __init atmel_ssc_get_driver_data().
This is often because ssc_probe lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of atmel_ssc_get_driver_data is wrong.

Remove __init from atmel_ssc_get_driver_data to get rid of the mismatch.

<title>drivers/misc/sgi-gru: fix Spectre v1 vulnerability</title>

req.gid can be indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:

vers/misc/sgi-gru/grukdump.c:200 gru_dump_chiplet_request() warn:
potential spectre issue 'gru_base' [w]

Fix this by sanitizing req.gid before calling macro GID_TO_GRU, which
uses it to index gru_base.

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].
