[ Upstream commit adfdfcbdbd32b356323a3db6d3a683270051a7e6 ]

This is simillar as fixed-regulator.
Used to extract regulator parent from the device tree.

Without that property used, the parent regulator can be shut down (if not an always on).
Thus leading to inappropriate behavior:
On am62-SP-SK this fix is required to avoid tps65219 ldo1 (SDMMC rail) to be shut down after boot completion.

commit af4db5a35a4ef7a68046883bfd12468007db38f1 upstream.

A poorly implemented DisplayPort Alt Mode port partner can indicate
that its pin assignment capabilities are greater than the maximum
value, DP_PIN_ASSIGN_F. In this case, calls to pin_assignment_show
will cause a BRK exception due to an out of bounds array access.

Prevent for loop in pin_assignment_show from accessing
invalid values in pin_assignments by adding DP_PIN_ASSIGN_MAX
value in typec_dp.h and using i &lt; DP_PIN_ASSIGN_MAX as a loop
condition.

Add an of_property_present() function similar to

commit fe7f7ac8e0c708446ff017453add769ffc15deed upstream.

Update struct hid_descriptor to better reflect the mandatory and
optional parts of the HID Descriptor as per USB HID 1.11 specification.
Note: the kernel currently does not parse any optional HID class
descriptors, only the mandatory report descriptor.

Update all references to member element desc[0] to rpt_desc.

Add test to verify bLength and bNumDescriptors values are valid.

Replace the for loop with direct access to the mandatory HID class
descriptor member for the report descriptor. This eliminates the
possibility of getting an out-of-bounds fault.

Add a warning message if the HID descriptor contains any unsupported
optional HID class descriptors.

commit 7851263998d4269125fd6cb3fdbfc7c6db853859 upstream.

In vcc_sendmsg(), we account skb-&gt;truesize to sk-&gt;sk_wmem_alloc by
atm_account_tx().

It is expected to be reverted by atm_pop_raw() later called by
vcc-&gt;dev-&gt;ops-&gt;send(vcc, skb).

However, vcc_sendmsg() misses the same revert when copy_from_iter_full()
fails, and then we will leak a socket.

Let's factorise the revert part as atm_return_tx() and call it in
the failure path.

Note that the corresponding sk_wmem_alloc operation can be found in
alloc_tx() as of the blamed commit.

<title>coredump: hand a pidfd to the usermode coredump helper</title>

commit b5325b2a270fcaf7b2a9a0f23d422ca8a5a8bdea upstream.

Give userspace a way to instruct the kernel to install a pidfd into the
usermode helper process. This makes coredump handling a lot more
reliable for userspace. In parallel with this commit we already have
systemd adding support for this in [1].

We create a pidfs file for the coredumping process when we process the
corename pattern. When the usermode helper process is forked we then
install the pidfs file as file descriptor three into the usermode
helpers file descriptor table so it's available to the exec'd program.

Since usermode helpers are either children of the system_unbound_wq
workqueue or kthreadd we know that the file descriptor table is empty
and can thus always use three as the file descriptor number.

Note, that we'll install a pidfd for the thread-group leader even if a
subthread is calling do_coredump(). We know that task linkage hasn't
been removed due to delay_group_leader() and even if this @current isn't
the actual thread-group leader we know that the thread-group leader
cannot be reaped until @current has exited.

[brauner: This is a backport for the v5.4 series. Upstream has
significantly changed and backporting all that infra is a non-starter.
So simply backport the pidfd_prepare() helper and waste the file
descriptor we allocated. Then we minimally massage the umh coredump
setup code.]

commit 6ae930d9dbf2d093157be33428538c91966d8a9f upstream.

Add a new helper that allows to reserve a pidfd and allocates a new
pidfd file that stashes the provided struct pid. This will allow us to
remove places that either open code this function or that call
pidfd_create() but then have to call close_fd() because there are still
failure points after pidfd_create() has been called.

pidfd file that stashes the provided struct pid. This will allow us to
remove places that either open code this function or that call
pidfd_create() but then have to call close_fd() because there are still
failure points after pidfd_create() has been called.

<title>pidfd: check pid has attached task in fdinfo</title>

commit 3d6d8da48d0b214d65ea0227d47228abc75d7c88 upstream.

Currently, when a task is dead we still print the pid it used to use in
the fdinfo files of its pidfds. This doesn't make much sense since the
pid may have already been reused. So verify that the task is still alive
by introducing the pid_has_task() helper which will be used by other
callers in follow-up patches.
If the task is not alive anymore, we will print -1. This allows us to
differentiate between a task not being present in a given pid namespace
- in which case we already print 0 - and a task having been reaped.

Note that this uses PIDTYPE_PID for the check. Technically, we could've
checked PIDTYPE_TGID since pidfds currently only refer to thread-group
leaders but if they won't anymore in the future then this check becomes
problematic without it being immediately obvious to non-experts imho. If
a thread is created via clone(CLONE_THREAD) than struct pid has a single
non-empty list pid-&gt;tasks[PIDTYPE_PID] and this pid can't be used as a
PIDTYPE_TGID meaning pid-&gt;tasks[PIDTYPE_TGID] will return NULL even
though the thread-group leader might still be very much alive. So
checking PIDTYPE_PID is fine and is easier to maintain should we ever
allow pidfds to refer to threads.

[ Upstream commit ad6b5b73ff565e88aca7a7d1286788d80c97ba71 ]

rcu_all_qs() is defined for !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU but the declaration
is conditioned on CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

With CONFIG_PREEMPT_LAZY, CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y does not imply
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y.

Decouple the two.
