[ Upstream commit 6c2d4798a8d16cf4f3a28c3cd4af4f1dcbbb4d04 ]

Most of the callers of lookup_one_len_unlocked() treat negatives are
ERR_PTR(-ENOENT).  Provide a helper that would do just that.  Note
that a pinned positive dentry remains positive - it's -&gt;d_inode is
stable, etc.; a pinned _negative_ dentry can become positive at any
point as long as you are not holding its parent at least shared.
So using lookup_one_len_unlocked() needs to be careful;
lookup_positive_unlocked() is safer and that's what the callers
end up open-coding anyway.

commit 30332eeefec8f83afcea00c360f99ef64b87f220 upstream.

Hardware registers of devices under control of power management cannot
be accessed at all times.  If such a device is suspended, register
accesses may lead to undefined behavior, like reading bogus values, or
causing exceptions or system lock-ups.

Extend struct debugfs_regset32 with an optional field to let device
drivers specify the device the registers in the set belong to.  This
allows debugfs_show_regset32() to make sure the device is resumed while
its registers are being read.

[ Upstream commit d472cf797c4e268613dbce5ec9b95d0bcae19ecb ]

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a
negative value for a debugfs file created by debugfs_create_atomic_t().

This restores the previous behaviour by introducing
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.

commit dec9b2f1e0455a151a7293c367da22ab973f713e upstream.

There is a very common pattern of using
debugfs_remove(debufs_lookup(..)) which results in a dentry leak of the
dentry that was looked up.  Instead of having to open-code the correct
pattern of calling dput() on the dentry, create
debugfs_lookup_and_remove() to handle this pattern automatically and
properly without any memory leaks.

[ Upstream commit 93b919da64c15b90953f96a536e5e61df896ca57 ]

symlink body shouldn't be freed without an RCU delay.  Switch debugfs to
-&gt;destroy_inode() and use of call_rcu(); free both the inode and symlink
body in the callback.  Similar to solution for bpf, only here it's even
more obvious that -&gt;evict_inode() can be dropped.

commit d88c93f090f708c18195553b352b9f205e65418f upstream.

debugfs_rename() needs to check that the dentries passed into it really
are valid, as sometimes they are not (i.e. if the return value of
another debugfs call is passed into this one.)  So fix this up by
properly checking if the two parent directories are errors (they are
allowed to be NULL), and if the dentry to rename is not NULL or an
error.

This reverts commit 95cde3c59966f6371b6bcd9e4e2da2ba64ee9775.

The commit had good intentions, but it breaks kvm-tool and qemu-kvm.

With it in place, "lkvm run" just fails with

  Error: KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl
  Warning: Failed init: kvm__init

which isn't a wonderful error message, but bisection pinpointed the
problematic commit.

The problem is almost certainly due to the special kvm debugfs entries
created dynamically by kvm under /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/.  See
kvm_create_vm_debugfs()

Currently function debugfs_create_dir() creates a new
directory in the debugfs (usually mounted /sys/kernel/debug)
with permission rwxr-xr-x. This is hard coded.

Change this to use the parent directory permission.

Currently function debugfs_create_dir() creates a new
directory in the debugfs (usually mounted /sys/kernel/debug)
with permission rwxr-xr-x. This is hard coded.

Change this to use the parent directory permission.
