[ Upstream commit 0a355aeb24081e4538d4d424cd189f16c0bbd983 ]

If something goes wrong (such as the SCL being stuck low) then we need
to reset the PCA chip. The issue with this is that on reset we lose all
config settings and the chip ends up in a disabled state which results
in a lock up/high CPU usage. We need to re-apply any configuration that
had previously been set and re-enable the chip.

commit 66a359390e7e34f9a4c489467234b107b3d76169 upstream.

Many USB drivers iterate over the available endpoints to find required
endpoints of a specific type and direction. Typically the endpoints are
required for proper function and a missing endpoint should abort probe.

To facilitate code reuse, add a helper to retrieve common endpoints
(bulk or interrupt, in or out) and four wrappers to find a single
endpoint.

Note that the helpers are marked as __must_check to serve as a reminder
to always verify that all expected endpoints are indeed present. This
also means that any optional endpoints, typically need to be looked up
through separate calls.

[ Upstream commit 1d1585ca0f48fe7ed95c3571f3e4a82b2b5045dc ]

Commit 3d7081822f7f ("uaccess: Add non-pagefault user-space read functions")
missed to add probe write function, therefore factor out a probe_write_common()
helper with most logic of probe_kernel_write() except setting KERNEL_DS, and
add a new probe_user_write() helper so it can be used from BPF side.

Again, on some archs, the user address space and kernel address space can
co-exist and be overlapping, so in such case, setting KERNEL_DS would mean
that the given address is treated as being in kernel address space.

[ Upstream commit 3d7081822f7f9eab867d9bcc8fd635208ec438e0 ]

Add probe_user_read(), strncpy_from_unsafe_user() and
strnlen_unsafe_user() which allows caller to access user-space
in IRQ context.

Current probe_kernel_read() and strncpy_from_unsafe() are
not available for user-space memory, because it sets
KERNEL_DS while accessing data. On some arch, user address
space and kernel address space can be co-exist, but others
can not. In that case, setting KERNEL_DS means given
address is treated as a kernel address space.
Also strnlen_user() is only available from user context since
it can sleep if pagefault is enabled.

To access user-space memory without pagefault, we need
these new functions which sets USER_DS while accessing
the data.

[ Upstream commit 1e105e6afa6c3d32bfb52c00ffa393894a525c27 ]

Following bug was reported via irc:
nft list ruleset
   set knock_candidates_ipv4 {
      type ipv4_addr . inet_service
      size 65535
      elements = { 127.0.0.1 . 123,
                   127.0.0.1 . 123 }
      }
 ..
   udp dport 123 add @knock_candidates_ipv4 { ip saddr . 123 }
   udp dport 123 add @knock_candidates_ipv4 { ip saddr . udp dport }

It should not have been possible to add a duplicate set entry.

After some debugging it turned out that the problem is the immediate
value (123) in the second-to-last rule.

Concatenations use 32bit registers, i.e. the elements are 8 bytes each,
not 6 and it turns out the kernel inserted

inet firewall @knock_candidates_ipv4
        element 0100007f ffff7b00  : 0 [end]
        element 0100007f 00007b00  : 0 [end]

Note the non-zero upper bits of the first element.  It turns out that
nft_immediate doesn't zero the destination register, but this is needed
when the length isn't a multiple of 4.

Furthermore, the zeroing in nft_payload is broken.  We can't use
[len / 4] = 0 -- if len is a multiple of 4, index is off by one.

Skip zeroing in this case and use a conditional instead of (len -1) / 4.

commit 35556bed836f8dc07ac55f69c8d17dce3e7f0e25 upstream.

When calling into hid_map_usage(), the passed event code is
blindly stored as is, even if it doesn't fit in the associated bitmap.

This event code can come from a variety of sources, including devices
masquerading as input devices, only a bit more "programmable".

Instead of taking the event code at face value, check that it actually
fits the corresponding bitmap, and if it doesn't:
- spit out a warning so that we know which device is acting up
- NULLify the bitmap pointer so that we catch unexpected uses

Code paths that can make use of untrusted inputs can now check
that the mapping was indeed correct and bail out if not.

When calling into hid_map_usage(), the passed event code is
blindly stored as is, even if it doesn't fit in the associated bitmap.

This event code can come from a variety of sources, including devices
masquerading as input devices, only a bit more "programmable".

Instead of taking the event code at face value, check that it actually
fits the corresponding bitmap, and if it doesn't:
- spit out a warning so that we know which device is acting up
- NULLify the bitmap pointer so that we catch unexpected uses

Code paths that can make use of untrusted inputs can now check
that the mapping was indeed correct and bail out if not.

commit f9cae926f35e8230330f28c7b743ad088611a8de upstream.

When we are processing writeback for sync(2), move_expired_inodes()
didn't set any inode expiry value (older_than_this). This can result in
writeback never completing if there's steady stream of inodes added to
b_dirty_time list as writeback rechecks dirty lists after each writeback
round whether there's more work to be done. Fix the problem by using
sync(2) start time is inode expiry value when processing b_dirty_time
list similarly as for ordinarily dirtied inodes. This requires some
refactoring of older_than_this handling which simplifies the code
noticeably as a bonus.

Fixes: 0ae45f63d4ef ("vfs: add support for a lazytime mount option")
