commit bf12fdf0ab728ca8e5933aac46dd972c0dd0421e upstream.

While e3a3c3a20555 ("UIO: fix uio_pdrv_genirq with device tree but no
interrupt") added support for using uio_pdrv_genirq for devices without
interrupt for device tree platforms, the removal of uio_pdrv in
26dac3c49d56 ("uio: Remove uio_pdrv and use uio_pdrv_genirq instead")
broke the support for non device tree platforms.

This change fixes this, so that uio_pdrv_genirq can be used without
interrupt on all platforms.

This still leaves the support that uio_pdrv had for custom interrupt
handler lacking, as uio_pdrv_genirq does not handle it (yet).

Fixes: 26dac3c49d56 ("uio: Remove uio_pdrv and use uio_pdrv_genirq instead")

<title>uio: fix a sleep-in-atomic-context bug in uio_dmem_genirq_irqcontrol()</title>

[ Upstream commit b74351287d4bd90636c3f48bc188c2f53824c2d4 ]

The driver may sleep while holding a spinlock.
The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux 4.19 is:

kernel/irq/manage.c, 523:
	synchronize_irq in disable_irq
drivers/uio/uio_dmem_genirq.c, 140:
	disable_irq in uio_dmem_genirq_irqcontrol
drivers/uio/uio_dmem_genirq.c, 134:
	_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in uio_dmem_genirq_irqcontrol

synchronize_irq() can sleep at runtime.

To fix this bug, disable_irq() is called without holding the spinlock.

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by myself.

commit 432798195bbce1f8cd33d1c0284d0538835e25fb upstream.

I was trying to solve a double free but I introduced a more serious
NULL dereference bug.  The problem is that if there is an IRQ which
triggers immediately, then we need "info-&gt;uio_dev" but it's not set yet.

This patch puts the original initialization back to how it was and just
sets info-&gt;uio_dev to NULL on the error path so it should solve both
the Oops and the double free.

<title>uio: ensure class is registered before devices</title>

[ Upstream commit ae61cf5b9913027c6953a79ed3894da4f47061bd ]

When both uio and the uio drivers are built in the kernel, it is possible
for a driver to register devices before the uio class is registered.

This may result in a NULL pointer dereference later on in
get_device_parent() when accessing the class glue_dirs spinlock.

The trace looks like that:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000140
[...]

[ Upstream commit f019f07ecf6a6b8bd6d7853bce70925d90af02d1 ]

The uio_unregister_device() function assumes that if "info-&gt;uio_dev" is
non-NULL that means "info" is fully allocated.  Setting info-&gt;uio_de
has to be the last thing in the function.

In the current code, if request_threaded_irq() fails then we return with
info-&gt;uio_dev set to non-NULL but info is not fully allocated and it can
lead to double frees.

Commit 75f0aef6220d ("uio: fix memory leak") has fixed up some
memory leaks during the failure paths of the addition of uio
attributes, but still is not correct entirely. A kobject_uevent()
failure still needs a kobject_put() and the kobject container
structure allocation failure before the kobject_init() doesn't
need a kobject_put(). Fix this properly.

The variable i contains a total number of resources (including
IORESOURCE_IRQ). However, we want the dmem_region_start to point
after the last resource of type IORESOURCE_MEM. The original behaviour
leads (very likely) to skipping several UIO mapping regions and makes
them useless. Fix this by computing dmem_region_start from the uiomem
which points to the last used UIO mapping.

The warning is a false positive because uio_read doesn't depent on
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after copy_to_user so it is safe to silence the
warning by an explicit setting the state to TASK_RUNNING in the path
which might call into TASK_RUNNING.

This platform driver has a OF device ID table but the OF module
alias information is not created so module autoloading won't work.
