commit 5b484311507b5d403c1f7a45f6aa3778549e268b upstream.

Even though nobody should use this value (except when declaring the
"flags" bitmap), kernel-doc still gets upset that it's not documented.
It reports:

  WARNING: ../include/linux/device.h:519
  Enum value 'DEV_FLAG_COUNT' not described in enum 'struct_device_flags'

Add the description of DEV_FLAG_COUNT.

[ Upstream commit d239462787b072c78eb19fc1f155c3d411256282 ]

Droppable mappings must not be lockable.  There is a check for VMAs with
VM_DROPPABLE set in mlock_fixup() along with checks for other types of
unlockable VMAs which ensures this when calling mlock()/mlock2().

For mlockall(MCL_FUTURE), the check for unlockable VMAs is different.  In
apply_mlockall_flags(), if the flags parameter has MCL_FUTURE set, the
current task's mm's default VMA flag field mm-&gt;def_flags has VM_LOCKED
applied to it.  VM_LOCKONFAULT is also applied if MCL_ONFAULT is also set.
When these flags are set as default in this manner they are cleared in
__mmap_complete() for new mappings that do not support mlock.  A check for
VM_DROPPABLE in __mmap_complete() is missing resulting in droppable
mappings created with VM_LOCKED set.  To fix this and reduce that chance
of similar bugs in the future, introduce and use vma_supports_mlock().

[ Upstream commit a663bac71a2f0b3ac6c373168ca57b2a6e6381aa ]

&gt;From the MCTP Base specification (DSP0236 v1.2.1), the first byte of
the MCTP header contains a 4 bit reserved field, and 4 bit version.

On our current receive path, we require those 4 reserved bits to be
zero, but the 9500-8i card is non-conformant, and may set these
reserved bits.

DSP0236 states that the reserved bits must be written as zero, and
ignored when read. While the device might not conform to the former,
we should accept these message to conform to the latter.

Relax our check on the MCTP version byte to allow non-zero bits in the
reserved field.

<title>rxrpc: Fix potential UAF after skb_unshare() failure</title>

[ Upstream commit 1f2740150f904bfa60e4bad74d65add3ccb5e7f8 ]

If skb_unshare() fails to unshare a packet due to allocation failure in
rxrpc_input_packet(), the skb pointer in the parent (rxrpc_io_thread())
will be NULL'd out.  This will likely cause the call to
trace_rxrpc_rx_done() to oops.

Fix this by moving the unsharing down to where rxrpc_input_call_event()
calls rxrpc_input_call_packet().  There are a number of places prior to
that where we ignore DATA packets for a variety of reasons (such as the
call already being complete) for which an unshare is then avoided.

And with that, rxrpc_input_packet() doesn't need to take a pointer to the
pointer to the packet, so change that to just a pointer.

<title>RDMA/mana_ib: Disable RX steering on RSS QP destroy</title>

[ Upstream commit dbeb256e8dd87233d891b170c0b32a6466467036 ]

When an RSS QP is destroyed (e.g. DPDK exit), mana_ib_destroy_qp_rss()
destroys the RX WQ objects but does not disable vPort RX steering in
firmware. This leaves stale steering configuration that still points to
the destroyed RX objects.

If traffic continues to arrive (e.g. peer VM is still transmitting) and
the VF interface is subsequently brought up (mana_open), the firmware
may deliver completions using stale CQ IDs from the old RX objects.
These CQ IDs can be reused by the ethernet driver for new TX CQs,
causing RX completions to land on TX CQs:

  WARNING: mana_poll_tx_cq+0x1b8/0x220 [mana]  (is_sq == false)
  WARNING: mana_gd_process_eq_events+0x209/0x290 (cq_table lookup fails)

Fix this by disabling vPort RX steering before destroying RX WQ objects.
Note that mana_fence_rqs() cannot be used here because the fence
completion is delivered on the CQ, which is polled by user-mode (e.g.
DPDK) and not visible to the kernel driver.

Refactor the disable logic into a shared mana_disable_vport_rx() in
mana_en, exported for use by mana_ib, replacing the duplicate code.
The ethernet driver's mana_dealloc_queues() is also updated to call
this common function.

<title>randomize_kstack: Maintain kstack_offset per task</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 37beb42560165869838e7d91724f3e629db64129 upstream.

kstack_offset was previously maintained per-cpu, but this caused a
couple of issues. So let's instead make it per-task.

Issue 1: add_random_kstack_offset() and choose_random_kstack_offset()
expected and required to be called with interrupts and preemption
disabled so that it could manipulate per-cpu state. But arm64, loongarch
and risc-v are calling them with interrupts and preemption enabled. I
don't _think_ this causes any functional issues, but it's certainly
unexpected and could lead to manipulating the wrong cpu's state, which
could cause a minor performance degradation due to bouncing the cache
lines. By maintaining the state per-task those functions can safely be
called in preemptible context.

Issue 2: add_random_kstack_offset() is called before executing the
syscall and expands the stack using a previously chosen random offset.
choose_random_kstack_offset() is called after executing the syscall and
chooses and stores a new random offset for the next syscall. With
per-cpu storage for this offset, an attacker could force cpu migration
during the execution of the syscall and prevent the offset from being
updated for the original cpu such that it is predictable for the next
syscall on that cpu. By maintaining the state per-task, this problem
goes away because the per-task random offset is updated after the
syscall regardless of which cpu it is executing on.

commit 37beb42560165869838e7d91724f3e629db64129 upstream.

kstack_offset was previously maintained per-cpu, but this caused a
couple of issues. So let's instead make it per-task.

Issue 1: add_random_kstack_offset() and choose_random_kstack_offset()
expected and required to be called with interrupts and preemption
disabled so that it could manipulate per-cpu state. But arm64, loongarch
and risc-v are calling them with interrupts and preemption enabled. I
don't _think_ this causes any functional issues, but it's certainly
unexpected and could lead to manipulating the wrong cpu's state, which
could cause a minor performance degradation due to bouncing the cache
lines. By maintaining the state per-task those functions can safely be
called in preemptible context.

Issue 2: add_random_kstack_offset() is called before executing the
syscall and expands the stack using a previously chosen random offset.
choose_random_kstack_offset() is called after executing the syscall and
chooses and stores a new random offset for the next syscall. With
per-cpu storage for this offset, an attacker could force cpu migration
during the execution of the syscall and prevent the offset from being
updated for the original cpu such that it is predictable for the next
syscall on that cpu. By maintaining the state per-task, this problem
goes away because the per-task random offset is updated after the
syscall regardless of which cpu it is executing on.

commit 6f1d4d2ecfcd1b577dc87350ea965fe81f272e83 upstream.

Outside of the EFI tpm code, the TPM_MEMREMAP()/TPM_MEMUNMAP functions are
defined as trivial macros, leading to the mapping_size variable ending
up unused:

  167 |         int mapping_size;

Turn the stubs into inline functions to avoid this warning.

<title>rxrpc: Fix re-decryption of RESPONSE packets</title>

commit 0422e7a4883f25101903f3e8105c0808aa5f4ce9 upstream.

If a RESPONSE packet gets a temporary failure during processing, it may end
up in a partially decrypted state - and then get requeued for a retry.

Fix this by just discarding the packet; we will send another CHALLENGE
packet and thereby elicit a further response.  Similarly, discard an
incoming CHALLENGE packet if we get an error whilst generating a RESPONSE;
the server will send another CHALLENGE.

commit def304aae2edf321d2671fd6ca766a93c21f877e upstream.

Fix handling of a packet with a misaligned crypto length.  Also handle
non-ENOMEM errors from decryption by aborting.  Further, remove the
WARN_ON_ONCE() so that it can't be remotely triggered (a trace line can
still be emitted).

<title>device property: Make modifications of fwnode "flags" thread safe</title>

<content type='text'>
commit f72e77c33e4b5657af35125e75bab249256030f3 upstream.

In various places in the kernel, we modify the fwnode "flags" member
by doing either:
  fwnode-&gt;flags |= SOME_FLAG;
  fwnode-&gt;flags &amp;= ~SOME_FLAG;

This type of modification is not thread-safe. If two threads are both
mucking with the flags at the same time then one can clobber the
other.

While flags are often modified while under the "fwnode_link_lock",
this is not universally true.

Create some accessor functions for setting, clearing, and testing the
FWNODE flags and move all users to these accessor functions. New
accessor functions use set_bit() and clear_bit(), which are
thread-safe.
