commit 7f1e541fc8d57a143dd5df1d0a1276046e08c083 upstream.

Sometimes we know that it's safe to do potentially out-of-bounds access
because we know it won't cross a page boundary.  Still, KASAN will
report this as a bug.

Add read_word_at_a_time() function which is supposed to be used in such
cases.  In read_word_at_a_time() KASAN performs relaxed check - only the
first byte of access is validated.

commit bdb5ac801af3d81d36732c2f640d6a1d3df83826 upstream.

Instead of having two identical __read_once_size_nocheck() functions
with different attributes, consolidate all the difference in new macro
__no_kasan_or_inline and use it. No functional changes.

commit 64f8ebaf115bcddc4aaa902f981c57ba6506bc42 upstream.

Memory access coded in an assembly won't be seen by KASAN as a compiler
can instrument only C code.  Add kasan_check_[read,write]() API which is
going to be used to check a certain memory range.

[ Upstream commit d44154f969a44269a9288c274c1c2fd9e85df8a5 ]

Provide a nand_cleanup() function to free all nand related resources
without unregistering the mtd device.
This should allow drivers to call mtd_device_unregister() and handle
its return value and still being able to cleanup all nand related
resources.

<title>Fonts: Support FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros for built-in fonts</title>

commit 6735b4632def0640dbdf4eb9f99816aca18c4f16 upstream.

syzbot has reported an issue in the framebuffer layer, where a malicious
user may overflow our built-in font data buffers.

In order to perform a reliable range check, subsystems need to know
`FONTDATAMAX` for each built-in font. Unfortunately, our font descriptor,
`struct console_font` does not contain `FONTDATAMAX`, and is part of the
UAPI, making it infeasible to modify it.

For user-provided fonts, the framebuffer layer resolves this issue by
reserving four extra words at the beginning of data buffers. Later,
whenever a function needs to access them, it simply uses the following
macros:

Recently we have gathered all the above macros to &lt;linux/font.h&gt;. Let us
do the same thing for built-in fonts, prepend four extra words (including
`FONTDATAMAX`) to their data buffers, so that subsystems can use these
macros for all fonts, no matter built-in or user-provided.

This patch depends on patch "fbdev, newport_con: Move FONT_EXTRA_WORDS
macros into linux/font.h".

commit bb0890b4cd7f8203e3aa99c6d0f062d6acdaad27 upstream.

drivers/video/console/newport_con.c is borrowing FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros
from drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.h. To keep things simple, move all
definitions into &lt;linux/font.h&gt;.

Since newport_con now uses four extra words, initialize the fourth word in
newport_set_font() properly.

In case a driver wants to return an error from qc_prep, return enum
ata_completion_errors. sata_mv is one of those drivers -- see the next
patch. Other drivers return the newly defined AC_ERR_OK.

[v2] use enum ata_completion_errors and AC_ERR_OK.

[ Upstream commit 86b18aaa2b5b5bb48e609cd591b3d2d0fdbe0442 ]

sk_buff.qlen can be accessed concurrently as noticed by KCSAN,

 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __skb_try_recv_from_queue / unix_dgram_sendmsg

 read to 0xffff8a1b1d8a81c0 of 4 bytes by task 5371 on cpu 96:

Since only the read is operating as lockless, it could introduce a logic
bug in unix_recvq_full() due to the load tearing. Fix it by adding
a lockless variant of skb_queue_len() and unix_recvq_full() where
READ_ONCE() is on the read while WRITE_ONCE() is on the write similar to
the commit d7d16a89350a ("net: add skb_queue_empty_lockless()").

sk_buff.qlen can be accessed concurrently as noticed by KCSAN,

Since only the read is operating as lockless, it could introduce a logic
bug in unix_recvq_full() due to the load tearing. Fix it by adding
a lockless variant of skb_queue_len() and unix_recvq_full() where
READ_ONCE() is on the read while WRITE_ONCE() is on the write similar to
the commit d7d16a89350a ("net: add skb_queue_empty_lockless()").

[ Upstream commit bf07132f96d426bcbf2098227fb680915cf44498 ]

This patch proposes to require marked atomic accesses surrounding
raw_write_seqcount_barrier. We reason that otherwise there is no way to
guarantee propagation nor atomicity of writes before/after the barrier
[1]. For example, consider the compiler tears stores either before or
after the barrier; in this case, readers may observe a partial value,
and because readers are unaware that writes are going on (writes are not
in a seq-writer critical section), will complete the seq-reader critical
section while having observed some partial state.
[1] https://lwn.net/Articles/793253/

This came up when designing and implementing KCSAN, because KCSAN would
flag these accesses as data-races. After careful analysis, our reasoning
as above led us to conclude that the best thing to do is to propose an
amendment to the raw_seqcount_barrier usage.
