commit a87fa1d81a9fb5e9adca9820e16008c40ad09f33 upstream.

The string property read helpers will run off the end of the buffer if
it is handed a malformed string property. Rework the parsers to make
sure that doesn't happen. At the same time add new test cases to make
sure the functions behave themselves.

The original implementations of of_property_read_string_index() and
of_property_count_strings() both open-coded the same block of parsing
code, each with it's own subtly different bugs. The fix here merges
functions into a single helper and makes the original functions static
inline wrappers around the helper.

One non-bugfix aspect of this patch is the addition of a new wrapper,
of_property_read_string_array(). The new wrapper is needed by the
device_properties feature that Rafael is working on and planning to
merge for v3.19. The implementation is identical both with and without
the new static inline wrapper, so it just got left in to reduce the
churn on the header file.

commit 0640332e073be9207f0784df43595c0c39716e42 upstream.

Any calls to dt_alloc() need to be zeroed. This is a temporary fix, but
the allocation function itself needs to zero memory before returning
it. This is a follow up to patch 9e4012752, "of: fdt: fix memory
initialization for expanded DT" which fixed one call site but missed
another.

<title>of: Fix locking vs. interrupts</title>

The OF code uses irqsafe locks everywhere except in a handful of functions
for no obvious reasons. Since the conversion from the old rwlocks, this
now triggers lockdep warnings when used at interrupt time. At least one
driver (ibmvscsi) seems to be doing that from softirq context.

This converts the few non-irqsafe locks into irqsafe ones, making them
consistent with the rest of the code.

Pull ARM SoC driver changes from Olof Johansson:
 "This is a rather large set of patches for device drivers that for one
  reason or another the subsystem maintainer preferred to get merged
  through the arm-soc tree.  There are both new drivers as well as
  existing drivers that are getting converted from platform-specific
  code into standalone drivers using the appropriate subsystem specific
  interfaces.

  In particular, we can now have pinctrl, clk, clksource and irqchip
  drivers in one file per driver, without the need to call into platform
  specific interface, or to get called from platform specific code, as
  long as all information about the hardware is provided through a
  device tree.

  Most of the drivers we touch this time are for clocksource.  Since now
  most of them are part of drivers/clocksource, I expect that we won't
  have to touch these again from arm-soc and can let the clocksource
  maintainers take care of these in the future.

  Another larger part of this series is specific to the exynos platform,
  which is seeing some significant effort in upstreaming and
  modernization of its device drivers this time around, which
  unfortunately is also the cause for the churn and a lot of the merge
  conflicts.

  There is one new subsystem that gets merged as part of this series:
  the reset controller interface, which is a very simple interface for
  taking devices on the SoC out of reset or back into reset.  Patches to
  use this interface on i.MX follow later in this merge window, and we
  are going to have other platforms (at least tegra and sirf) get
  converted in 3.11.  This will let us get rid of platform specific
  callbacks in a number of platform independent device drivers."

Supply a function (proc_remove()) to remove a proc entry (and any subtree
rooted there) by proc_dir_entry pointer rather than by name and (optionally)
root dir entry pointer.  This allows us to eliminate all remaining pde-&gt;name
accesses outside of procfs.

Call of_node_put() only when the out_args is NULL on success,
or the node's reference count will not be correct because the caller
will call of_node_put() again.

Several functions in of/base.c have the same code duplicated for
finding and validating a property and value.

struct property *prop = of_find_property(np, propname, NULL);
if (!prop)
	return -EINVAL;
if (!prop-&gt;value)
	return -ENODATA;
if (&lt;some length&gt; &gt; prop-&gt;length)
	return -EOVERFLOW;

This patch adds of_find_property_value_of_size() which performs the
equivalent of the above code and removes the instances where it was
duplicated in several functions.
