[ Upstream commit 4dde83569832f9377362e50f7748463340c5db6b ]

In of_parse_phandle_with_args_map() the inner loop that
iterates through the map entries calls of_node_put(new)
to free the reference acquired by the previous iteration
of the inner loop. This assumes that the value of "new" is
NULL on the first iteration of the inner loop.

Make sure that this is true in all iterations of the outer
loop by setting "new" to NULL after its value is assigned to "cur".

Extend the unittest to detect the double free and add an additional
test case that actually triggers this path.

commit 5801169a2ed20003f771acecf3ac00574cf10a38 upstream.

Non-overlay dynamic devicetree node removal may leave the node in
the phandle cache.  Subsequent calls to of_find_node_by_phandle()
will incorrectly find the stale entry.  Remove the node from the
cache.

Add paranoia checks in of_find_node_by_phandle() as a second level
of defense (do not return cached node if detached, do not add node
to cache if detached).

commit b8a9ac1a5b99a2fcbed19fd29d2d59270c281a31 upstream.

The phandle cache contains struct device_node pointers.  The refcount
of the pointers was not incremented while in the cache, allowing use
after free error after kfree() of the node.  Add the proper increment
and decrement of the use count.

With commit 0b3ce78e90fc ("of: cache phandle nodes to reduce cost of
of_find_node_by_phandle()"), a G3 PowerMac fails to boot. The root cause
is the DT for this system has no phandle properties when booted with
BootX. of_populate_phandle_cache() does not handle the case of no
phandles correctly. The problem is roundup_pow_of_two() for 0 is
undefined. The implementation subtracts 1 underflowing and then things
are in the weeds.

Add of_get_compatible_child() helper that can be used to lookup
compatible child nodes.

Several drivers currently use of_find_compatible_node() to lookup child
nodes while failing to notice that the of_find_ functions search the
entire tree depth-first (from a given start node) and therefore can
match unrelated nodes. The fact that these functions also drop a
reference to the node they start searching from (e.g. the parent node)
is typically also overlooked, something which can lead to use-after-free
bugs.

Create a cache of the nodes that contain a phandle property.  Use this
cache to find the node for a given phandle value instead of scanning
the devicetree to find the node.  If the phandle value is not found
in the cache, of_find_node_by_phandle() will fall back to the tree
scan algorithm.

The cache is initialized in of_core_init().

The cache is freed via a late_initcall_sync() if modules are not
enabled.

If the devicetree is created by the dtc compiler, with all phandle
property values auto generated, then the size required by the cache
could be 4 * (1 + number of phandles) bytes.  This results in an O(1)
node lookup cost for a given phandle value.  Due to a concern that the
phandle property values might not be consistent with what is generated
by the dtc compiler, a mask has been added to the cache lookup algorithm.
To maintain the O(1) node lookup cost, the size of the cache has been
increased by rounding the number of entries up to the next power of
two.

The overhead of finding the devicetree node containing a given phandle
value has been noted by several people in the recent past, in some cases
with a patch to add a hashed index of devicetree nodes, based on the
phandle value of the node.  One concern with this approach is the extra
space added to each node.  This patch takes advantage of the phandle
property values auto generated by the dtc compiler, which begin with
one and monotonically increase by one, resulting in a range of 1..n
for n phandle values.  This implementation should also provide a good
reduction of overhead for any range of phandle values that are mostly
in a monotonic range.

Performance measurements by Chintan Pandya &lt;cpandya@codeaurora.org&gt;
of several implementations of patches that are similar to this one
suggest an expected reduction of boot time by ~400ms for his test
system.  If the cache size was decreased to 64 entries, the boot
time was reduced by ~340 ms.  The measurements were on a 4.9.73 kernel
for arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sda670-mtp.dts, contains 2371 nodes and
814 phandle values.
