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".

[ Upstream commit 09a6b0bc3be793ca8cba580b7992d73e9f68f15d ]

Commit f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt
and activity") broke compilation and was temporarily fixed by Linus in
83bdc7275e62 ("random32: remove net_rand_state from the latent entropy
gcc plugin") by entirely moving net_rand_state out of the things handled
by the latent_entropy GCC plugin.

From what I understand when reading the plugin code, using the
__latent_entropy attribute on a declaration was the wrong part and
simply keeping the __latent_entropy attribute on the variable definition
was the correct fix.

<title>lib/string.c: implement stpcpy</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 1e1b6d63d6340764e00356873e5794225a2a03ea upstream.

LLVM implemented a recent "libcall optimization" that lowers calls to
`sprintf(dest, "%s", str)` where the return value is used to
`stpcpy(dest, str) - dest`.

This generally avoids the machinery involved in parsing format strings.
`stpcpy` is just like `strcpy` except it returns the pointer to the new
tail of `dest`.  This optimization was introduced into clang-12.

Implement this so that we don't observe linkage failures due to missing
symbol definitions for `stpcpy`.

Similar to last year's fire drill with: commit 5f074f3e192f
("lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp")

The kernel is somewhere between a "freestanding" environment (no full
libc) and "hosted" environment (many symbols from libc exist with the
same type, function signature, and semantics).

As Peter Anvin notes, there's not really a great way to inform the
compiler that you're targeting a freestanding environment but would like
to opt-in to some libcall optimizations (see pr/47280 below), rather
than opt-out.

Arvind notes, -fno-builtin-* behaves slightly differently between GCC
and Clang, and Clang is missing many __builtin_* definitions, which I
consider a bug in Clang and am working on fixing.

Masahiro summarizes the subtle distinction between compilers justly:
  To prevent transformation from foo() into bar(), there are two ways in
  Clang to do that; -fno-builtin-foo, and -fno-builtin-bar.  There is
  only one in GCC; -fno-buitin-foo.

(Any difference in that behavior in Clang is likely a bug from a missing
__builtin_* definition.)

Masahiro also notes:
  We want to disable optimization from foo() to bar(),
  but we may still benefit from the optimization from
  foo() into something else. If GCC implements the same transform, we
  would run into a problem because it is not -fno-builtin-bar, but
  -fno-builtin-foo that disables that optimization.

  In this regard, -fno-builtin-foo would be more future-proof than
  -fno-built-bar, but -fno-builtin-foo is still potentially overkill. We
  may want to prevent calls from foo() being optimized into calls to
  bar(), but we still may want other optimization on calls to foo().

It seems that compilers today don't quite provide the fine grain control
over which libcall optimizations pseudo-freestanding environments would
prefer.

Finally, Kees notes that this interface is unsafe, so we should not
encourage its use.  As such, I've removed the declaration from any
header, but it still needs to be exported to avoid linkage errors in
modules.

[ Upstream commit 0776d1231bec0c7ab43baf440a3f5ef5f49dd795 ]

Reset the member "test_fs" of the test configuration after a call of the
function "kfree_const" to a null pointer so that a double memory release
will not be performed.

[ Upstream commit 35bd8c07db2ce8fd2834ef866240613a4ef982e7 ]

Sometimes debugging a device is easiest using devmem on its register
map, and that can be seen with /proc/iomem. But some device drivers have
many memory regions. Take for example a networking switch. Its memory
map used to look like this in /proc/iomem:

1fc000000-1fc3fffff : pcie@1f0000000
  1fc000000-1fc3fffff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc010000-1fc01ffff : sys
    1fc030000-1fc03ffff : rew
    1fc060000-1fc0603ff : s2
    1fc070000-1fc0701ff : devcpu_gcb
    1fc080000-1fc0800ff : qs
    1fc090000-1fc0900cb : ptp
    1fc100000-1fc10ffff : port0
    1fc110000-1fc11ffff : port1
    1fc120000-1fc12ffff : port2
    1fc130000-1fc13ffff : port3
    1fc140000-1fc14ffff : port4
    1fc150000-1fc15ffff : port5
    1fc200000-1fc21ffff : qsys
    1fc280000-1fc28ffff : ana

But after the patch in Fixes: was applied, the information is now
presented in a much more opaque way:

1fc000000-1fc3fffff : pcie@1f0000000
  1fc000000-1fc3fffff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc010000-1fc01ffff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc030000-1fc03ffff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc060000-1fc0603ff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc070000-1fc0701ff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc080000-1fc0800ff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc090000-1fc0900cb : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc100000-1fc10ffff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc110000-1fc11ffff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc120000-1fc12ffff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc130000-1fc13ffff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc140000-1fc14ffff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc150000-1fc15ffff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc200000-1fc21ffff : 0000:00:00.5
    1fc280000-1fc28ffff : 0000:00:00.5

That patch made a fair comment that /proc/iomem might be confusing when
it shows resources without an associated device, but we can do better
than just hide the resource name altogether. Namely, we can print the
device name _and_ the resource name. Like this:

1fc000000-1fc3fffff : pcie@1f0000000
  1fc000000-1fc3fffff : 0000:00:00.5

<title>kobject: Avoid premature parent object freeing in kobject_cleanup()</title>

[ Upstream commit 079ad2fb4bf9eba8a0aaab014b49705cd7f07c66 ]

If kobject_del() is invoked by kobject_cleanup() to delete the
target kobject, it may cause its parent kobject to be freed
before invoking the target kobject's -&gt;release() method, which
effectively means freeing the parent before dealing with the
child entirely.

That is confusing at best and it may also lead to functional
issues if the callers of kobject_cleanup() are not careful enough
about the order in which these calls are made, so avoid the
problem by making kobject_cleanup() drop the last reference to
the target kobject's parent at the end, after invoking the target
kobject's -&gt;release() method.

[ rjw: Rewrite the subject and changelog, make kobject_cleanup()
  drop the parent reference only when __kobject_del() has been
  called. ]

[ Upstream commit f678ce8cc3cb2ad29df75d8824c74f36398ba871 ]

ddebug_describe_flags() currently fills a caller provided string buffer,
after testing its size (also passed) in a BUG_ON.  Fix this by
replacing them with a known-big-enough string buffer wrapped in a
struct, and passing that instead.

Also simplify ddebug_describe_flags() flags parameter from a struct to
a member in that struct, and hoist the member deref up to the caller.
This makes the function reusable (soon) where flags are unpacked.

[ Upstream commit 3906f640224dbe7714b52b66d7d68c0812808e19 ]

The crypto notify call occurs with a read mutex held so you must
not do any substantial work directly.  In particular, you cannot
call crypto_alloc_* as they may trigger further notifications
which may dead-lock in the presence of another writer.

This patch fixes this by postponing the work into a work queue and
taking the same lock in the module init function.

While we're at it this patch also ensures that all RCU accesses are
marked appropriately (tested with sparse).

Finally this also reveals a race condition in module param show
function as it may be called prior to the module init function.
It's fixed by testing whether crct10dif_tfm is NULL (this is true
iff the init function has not completed assuming fallback is false).
