commit d771fdf94180de2bd811ac90cba75f0f346abf8d upstream.

The ramoops buffer may be mapped as either I/O memory or uncached
memory.  On ARM64, this results in a device-type (strongly-ordered)
mapping.  Since unnaligned accesses to device-type memory will
generate an alignment fault (regardless of whether or not strict
alignment checking is enabled), it is not safe to use memcpy().
memcpy_fromio() is guaranteed to only use aligned accesses, so use
that instead.

commit 7e75678d23167c2527e655658a8ef36a36c8b4d9 upstream.

persistent_ram_update uses vmap / iomap based on whether the buffer is in
memory region or reserved region. However, both map it as non-cacheable
memory. For armv8 specifically, non-cacheable mapping requests use a
memory type that has to be accessed aligned to the request size. memcpy()
doesn't guarantee that.

commit d5a9bf0b38d2ac85c9a693c7fb851f74fd2a2494 upstream.

I have here a FPGA behind PCIe which exports SRAM which I use for
pstore. Now it seems that the FPGA no longer supports cmpxchg based
updates and writes back 0xffâ¦ff and returns the same.  This leads to
crash during crash rendering pstore useless.
Since I doubt that there is much benefit from using cmpxchg() here, I am
dropping this atomic access and use the spinlock based version.

commit 0405a5cec3406f19e69da07c8111a6bf1088ac29 upstream.

For persistent RAM outside of main memory, the memory may have limitations
on supported accesses. For internal RAM on highbank platform exclusive
accesses are not supported and will hang the system. So atomic_cmpxchg
cannot be used. This commit uses spinlock protection for buffer size and
start updates on ioremapped regions instead.

commit b0aa931fb84431394d995472d0af2a6c2b61064d upstream.

ramoops_get_next_prz get the prz according the paramters. If it get a
uninitialized prz, access its members by following persistent_ram_old_size(prz)
will cause a NULL pointer crash.
Ex: if ftrace_size is 0, fprz will be NULL.

Fix it by return NULL in advance.

commit aa9a4a1edfbd3d223af01db833da2f07850bc655 upstream.

In ramoops_pstore_read, a valid prz pointer with zero size buffer will
break traverse of all persistent ram buffers.  The latter buffer might be
lost.

commit bf2883339a33b7544b92ea465b90c3de55082032 upstream.

pstore_erase is used to erase the record from the persistent store.
So if a driver has not defined pstore_erase callback return
-EPERM instead of unlinking a file as deleting the file without
erasing its record in persistent store will give a wrong impression
to customers.
