commit 0b16e69d17d8c35c5c9d5918bf596c75a44655d3 upstream.

When exiting to userspace to service an emulated MMIO write, copy the
to-be-written value to a scratch field in the MMIO fragment if the size
of the data payload is 8 bytes or less, i.e. can fit in a single chunk,
instead of pointing the fragment directly at the source value.

This fixes a class of use-after-free bugs that occur when the emulator
initiates a write using an on-stack, local variable as the source, the
write splits a page boundary, *and* both pages are MMIO pages.  Because
KVM's ABI only allows for physically contiguous MMIO requests, accesses
that split MMIO pages are separated into two fragments, and are sent to
userspace one at a time.  When KVM attempts to complete userspace MMIO in
response to KVM_RUN after the first fragment, KVM will detect the second
fragment and generate a second userspace exit, and reference the on-stack
variable.

The issue is most visible if the second KVM_RUN is performed by a separate
task, in which case the stack of the initiating task can show up as truly
freed data.

  ==================================================================

The bug can also be reproduced with a targeted KVM-Unit-Test by hacking
KVM to fill a large on-stack variable in complete_emulated_mmio(), i.e. by
overwrite the data value with garbage.

Limit the use of the scratch fields to 8-byte or smaller accesses, and to
just writes, as larger accesses and reads are not affected thanks to
implementation details in the emulator, but add a sanity check to ensure
those details don't change in the future.  Specifically, KVM never uses
on-stack variables for accesses larger that 8 bytes, e.g. uses an operand
in the emulator context, and *all* reads are buffered through the mem_read
cache.

Note!  Using the scratch field for reads is not only unnecessary, it's
also extremely difficult to handle correctly.  As above, KVM buffers all
reads through the mem_read cache, and heavily relies on that behavior when
re-emulating the instruction after a userspace MMIO read exit.  If a read
splits a page, the first page is NOT an MMIO page, and the second page IS
an MMIO page, then the MMIO fragment needs to point at _just_ the second
chunk of the destination, i.e. its position in the mem_read cache.  Taking
the "obvious" approach of copying the fragment value into the destination
when re-emulating the instruction would clobber the first chunk of the
destination, i.e. would clobber the data that was read from guest memory.

[ Upstream commit 4c5e7f0fcd592801c9cc18f29f80fbee84eb8669 ]

On arm64 server, we found folio that get from migration entry isn't locked
in softleaf_to_folio().  This issue triggers when mTHP splitting and
zap_nonpresent_ptes() races, and the root cause is lack of memory barrier
in softleaf_to_folio().  The race is as follows:

	CPU0                                             CPU1

deferred_split_scan()                              zap_nonpresent_ptes()
  lock folio
  split_folio()
    unmap_folio()
      change ptes to migration entries
    __split_folio_to_order()                         softleaf_to_folio()
      set flags(including PG_locked) for tail pages    folio = pfn_folio(softleaf_to_pfn(entry))
      smp_wmb()                                        VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(!folio_test_locked(folio))
      prep_compound_page() for tail pages

In __split_folio_to_order(), smp_wmb() guarantees page flags of tail pages
are visible before the tail page becomes non-compound.  smp_wmb() should
be paired with smp_rmb() in softleaf_to_folio(), which is missed.  As a
result, if zap_nonpresent_ptes() accesses migration entry that stores tail
pfn, softleaf_to_folio() may see the updated compound_head of tail page
before page-&gt;flags.

This issue will trigger VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in pfn_swap_entry_folio()
because of the race between folio split and zap_nonpresent_ptes()
leading to a folio incorrectly undergoing modification without a folio
lock being held.

This is a BUG_ON() before commit 93976a20345b ("mm: eliminate further
swapops predicates"), which in merged in v6.19-rc1.

To fix it, add missing smp_rmb() if the softleaf entry is migration entry
in softleaf_to_folio() and softleaf_to_page().

commit aac6db75a9fc2c7a6f73e152df8f15101dda38e6 upstream.

With the vfio device fd tied to the address space of the pseudo fs
inode, we can use the mm to track all vmas that might be mmap'ing
device BARs, which removes our vma_list and all the complicated lock
ordering necessary to manually zap each related vma.

Note that we can no longer store the pfn in vm_pgoff if we want to use
unmap_mapping_range() to zap a selective portion of the device fd
corresponding to BAR mappings.

This also converts our mmap fault handler to use vmf_insert_pfn()
because we no longer have a vma_list to avoid the concurrency problem
with io_remap_pfn_range().  The goal is to eventually use the vm_ops
huge_fault handler to avoid the additional faulting overhead, but
vmf_insert_pfn_{pmd,pud}() need to learn about pfnmaps first.

Also, Jason notes that a race exists between unmap_mapping_range() and
the fops mmap callback if we were to call io_remap_pfn_range() to
populate the vma on mmap.  Specifically, mmap_region() does call_mmap()
before it does vma_link_file() which gives a window where the vma is
populated but invisible to unmap_mapping_range().

commit aac6db75a9fc2c7a6f73e152df8f15101dda38e6 upstream.

With the vfio device fd tied to the address space of the pseudo fs
inode, we can use the mm to track all vmas that might be mmap'ing
device BARs, which removes our vma_list and all the complicated lock
ordering necessary to manually zap each related vma.

Note that we can no longer store the pfn in vm_pgoff if we want to use
unmap_mapping_range() to zap a selective portion of the device fd
corresponding to BAR mappings.

commit b7c5e64fecfa88764791679cca4786ac65de739e upstream.

By linking all the device fds we provide to userspace to an
address space through a new pseudo fs, we can use tools like
unmap_mapping_range() to zap all vmas associated with a device.

[ Upstream commit 2cdaff22ed26f1e619aa2b43f27bb84f2c6ef8f8 ]

Under an UML build for an upcoming series [1], I got `-Wstatic-in-inline`
for `dma_free_attrs`:

      BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs - due to target missing
    In file included from rust/helpers/helpers.c:59:
    rust/helpers/dma.c:17:2: warning: static function 'dma_free_attrs' is used in an inline function with external linkage [-Wstatic-in-inline]

The issue is that `dma_free_attrs` was not marked `inline` when it was
introduced alongside the rest of the stubs.

Thus mark it.

[ Upstream commit 9f6a983cfa22ac662c86e60816d3a357d4b551e9 ]

Some USB devices incorrectly report bNumConfigurations as 0 in their
device descriptor, which causes the USB core to reject them during
enumeration.
logs:
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-2: no configurations
usb 1-2: can't read configurations, error -22

However, these devices actually work correctly when
treated as having a single configuration.

Add a new quirk USB_QUIRK_FORCE_ONE_CONFIG to handle such devices.
When this quirk is set, assume the device has 1 configuration instead
of failing with -EINVAL.

This quirk is applied to the device with VID:PID 5131:2007 which
exhibits this behavior.

commit 1613462be621ad5103ec338a7b0ca0746ec4e5f1 upstream.

When running in an unprivileged domU under Xen, the privcmd driver
is restricted to allow only hypercalls against a target domain, for
which the current domU is acting as a device model.

Add a boot parameter "unrestricted" to allow all hypercalls (the
hypervisor will still refuse destructive hypercalls affecting other
guests).

Make this new parameter effective only in case the domU wasn't started
using secure boot, as otherwise hypercalls targeting the domU itself
might result in violating the secure boot functionality.

This is achieved by adding another lockdown reason, which can be
tested to not being set when applying the "unrestricted" option.

This is part of XSA-482

<title>net: stmmac: remove support for lpi_intr_o</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 14eb64db8ff07b58a35b98375f446d9e20765674 upstream.

The dwmac databook for v3.74a states that lpi_intr_o is a sideband
signal which should be used to ungate the application clock, and this
signal is synchronous to the receive clock. The receive clock can run
at 2.5, 25 or 125MHz depending on the media speed, and can stop under
the control of the link partner. This means that the time it takes to
clear is dependent on the negotiated media speed, and thus can be 8,
40, or 400ns after reading the LPI control and status register.

It has been observed with some aggressive link partners, this clock
can stop while lpi_intr_o is still asserted, meaning that the signal
remains asserted for an indefinite period that the local system has
no direct control over.

The LPI interrupts will still be signalled through the main interrupt
path in any case, and this path is not dependent on the receive clock.

This, since we do not gate the application clock, and the chances of
adding clock gating in the future are slim due to the clocks being
ill-defined, lpi_intr_o serves no useful purpose. Remove the code which
requests the interrupt, and all associated code.
