[ Upstream commit 5a643e4623238e14b03d75ca0d4eda0645720cee ]

Move xbc_snprint_cmdline() from init/main.c to lib/bootconfig.c so the
function (and its xbc_namebuf scratch buffer) becomes part of the shared
parser library. tools/bootconfig already compiles lib/bootconfig.c
directly, which lets a follow-up patch reuse the same renderer in the
userspace tool to convert a bootconfig file into a flat cmdline string
at build time.

No functional change.

<title>mm/sparse-vmemmap: pass @pgmap argument to memory deactivation paths</title>

[ Upstream commit 3bbc54dd1b62f1a4b218c70aafbeceeba7c90c5d ]

Currently, the memory hot-remove call chain -- arch_remove_memory(),
__remove_pages(), sparse_remove_section() and section_deactivate() -- does
not carry the struct dev_pagemap pointer.  This prevents the lower levels
from knowing whether the section was originally populated with vmemmap
optimizations (e.g., DAX with vmemmap optimization enabled).

Without this information, we cannot call vmemmap_can_optimize() to
determine if the vmemmap pages were optimized.  As a result, the vmemmap
page accounting during teardown will mistakenly assume a non-optimized
allocation, leading to incorrect memmap statistics.

To lay the groundwork for fixing the vmemmap page accounting, we need to
pass the @pgmap pointer down to the deactivation location.  Plumb the
@pgmap argument through the APIs of arch_remove_memory(), __remove_pages()
and sparse_remove_section(), mirroring the corresponding *_activate()
paths.

<title>SUNRPC: Return an error from xdr_buf_to_bvec() on overflow</title>

[ Upstream commit 18c1cc69886192e33536498289d26dba6894e3d5 ]

xdr_buf_to_bvec() returns a slot count even when the caller's bvec
budget is exhausted partway through the xdr_buf. Callers feed that
count into iov_iter_bvec() and continue as if the conversion had
succeeded, silently sending or writing fewer bytes than the data
length declares. For an NFS WRITE the server reports the truncated
transfer to the client as full success.

The overflow represents an internal invariant violation: a higher
layer reserved a bvec budget too small for the xdr_buf it then
asked the encoder to convert. That is a server-side fault, not a
media I/O failure and not a malformed client argument.

Change xdr_buf_to_bvec() to return a signed int and have the
overflow label return -ESERVERFAULT. Update the three callers to
detect the negative return and fail the request: nfsd_vfs_write()
folds the error into host_err, which nfserrno() translates to
nfserr_serverfault for the WRITE reply; svc_udp_sendto() and
svc_tcp_sendmsg() propagate the error out of the send path.

<title>SUNRPC: Add helpers to convert xdr_buf byte ranges to scatterlists</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit e9be933959b581effd426f93b86654f5fbf0c574 ]

The crypto/krb5 library accepts data in scatterlist form, but
the GSS-API layer presents RPC payloads as struct xdr_buf.
Bridge that gap with a pair of helper functions:

  xdr_buf_to_sg()        - populate a caller-supplied scatterlist
                           array from a byte range
  xdr_buf_to_sg_alloc()  - populate a caller-supplied inline
                           scatterlist, chaining to a heap-
                           allocated overflow for large payloads

The inline array (typically stack-allocated at eight entries)
covers the common case of small RPCs with no heap allocation
on the encrypt/decrypt path. Only buffers spanning many pages
incur a kmalloc for the chained extension.

The segment-walking logic follows the same head, page array,
tail traversal as xdr_process_buf(), but populates a
scatterlist directly rather than invoking a per-segment
callback. sg_next() traversal makes the walker safe for
chained scatterlists. Once subsequent patches reroute all
per-message crypto operations through crypto/krb5,
xdr_process_buf() loses its last callers and is removed.

<title>tcp: challenge ACK for non-exact RST in SYN-RECEIVED</title>

commit a28c4fcbf774e23b4779cae468e3497a5ad1f4a1 upstream.

The SYN-RECEIVED request-socket path in tcp_check_req() accepts an
in-window RST without requiring SEG.SEQ to exactly match RCV.NXT.  A
non-exact RST therefore removes the request instead of eliciting a
challenge ACK.

RFC 9293 section 3.10.7.4 applies the RFC 5961 reset check in
SYN-RECEIVED: an exact RST resets the connection, while a non-exact
in-window RST must trigger a challenge ACK and be dropped.

Apply that check before the ACK-field validation, following the RFC
sequence-number, RST, then ACK processing order.  Factor the per-netns
challenge ACK quota out of tcp_send_challenge_ack() so request sockets
can share it.  Use the request socket's send_ack() callback and its own
out-of-window ACK timestamp to send and rate-limit the response.

commit 6fe4e4b8259e1330945b5f3c9476e08473b8e0e8 upstream.

When a blk_crypto_key starts being used or is evicted, fs/crypto/ calls
fscrypt_get_devices() to get the filesystem's list of block devices,
then iterates over them and calls blk_crypto_config_supported(),
blk_crypto_start_using_key(), or blk_crypto_evict_key() on each one.

Currently, the block device pointers are placed in a dynamically
allocated array.  This dynamic allocation is problematic because:

- It can fail, especially at the fscrypt_destroy_inline_crypt_key() call
  site when it's invoked for inode eviction under direct reclaim.

- fscrypt_destroy_inline_crypt_key() doesn't handle the failure.  It
  just zeroizes and frees the blk_crypto_key without calling
  blk_crypto_evict_key().  That causes a use-after-free.

For now, let's fix this in the straightforward and easily-backportable
way by switching to an on-stack array.  Currently the fscrypt
multi-device functionality is used only by f2fs, which has a hardcoded
limit of 8 block devices.  An on-stack array works fine for that.

(Of course, this solution won't scale up to large number of block
devices.  For that we'd need a different solution, like moving the block
device iteration into the filesystem.  Or in the case of btrfs, which
will only support blk-crypto-fallback, we should make it just call
blk-crypto-fallback directly, so the block devices won't be needed.)

commit e57d6e9e20b551e4910d7a6331a81775c3ad6693 upstream.

Commit 97f0b1345219 ("tracing: add trace event for memory-failure")
introduced memory_failure_event in ras subsystem.  commit 31807483d395
("mm/memory-failure: remove the selection of RAS") changed
memory_failure_event to memory_failure subsystem.  This breaks the
backward compatibility, some user programs rely on it.

Change memory_failure_event to ras subsystem to keep backward
compatibility.

<title>firmware: stratix10-svc: handle NO_RESPONSE in async poll</title>

commit 9e1dc434ca708e1134332e45918935752f4410cd upstream.

Define INTEL_SIP_SMC_STATUS_NO_RESPONSE (0x3) and handle it in
stratix10_svc_async_poll() the same way as INTEL_SIP_SMC_STATUS_BUSY,
returning -EAGAIN so callers can retry instead of treating the poll as
a hard failure.

When the Secure Device Manager has not yet produced a response for an
asynchronous transaction, ATF is expected to return
INTEL_SIP_SMC_STATUS_NO_RESPONSE. Without this handling, the service
layer maps the status to -EINVAL and async clients cannot distinguish
"not ready yet" from a real error.

<title>Bluetooth: RFCOMM: Fix session UAF in set_termios</title>

commit c783399efc22d035443f1dfbf2a09bf9562aaa5e upstream.

rfcomm_tty_set_termios() tests dlc-&gt;session without rfcomm_mutex and
later passes the pointer to rfcomm_send_rpn(). The latter dereferences
both session-&gt;initiator and session-&gt;sock. Meanwhile, krfcommd can
unlink the DLC and free the session while holding rfcomm_mutex.

The race can proceed as follows:

  TTY ioctl task                 krfcommd
  --------------                 --------
  load dlc-&gt;session
  enter rfcomm_send_rpn()
                                 lock rfcomm_mutex
                                 clear dlc-&gt;session
                                 free session
                                 unlock rfcomm_mutex
  read session-&gt;initiator

Add rfcomm_dlc_send_rpn(), which holds rfcomm_mutex while it verifies
that the DLC is still attached and sends the RPN frame. Have the TTY
path use the helper and drop its unlocked session check. This keeps the
session valid through both the frame construction and socket send.
