[ Upstream commit e6ed134a4ef592fe1fd0cafac9683813b3c8f3e8 ]

Smatch complains that the error message isn't set in the caller:

    lib/test_objagg.c:923 test_hints_case2()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'errmsg'.

This static checker warning only showed up after a recent refactoring
but the bug dates back to when the code was originally added.  This
likely doesn't affect anything in real life.

commit c104c16073b7fdb3e4eae18f66f4009f6b073d6f upstream.

The longest length of a symbol (KSYM_NAME_LEN) was increased to 512
in the reference [1]. This patch adds kunit test suite to check the longest
symbol length. These tests verify that the longest symbol length defined
is supported.

This test can also help other efforts for longer symbol length,
like [2].

The test suite defines one symbol with the longest possible length.

The first test verify that functions with names of the created
symbol, can be called or not.

The second test, verify that the symbols are created (or
not) in the kernel symbol table.

commit df831e97739405ecbaddb85516bc7d4d1c933d6b upstream.

While testing null_blk with configfs, echo 0 &gt; poll_queues will trigger
following panic:

Root cause is that numgrps is set to 0, and ZERO_SIZE_PTR is returned from
kcalloc(), and later ZERO_SIZE_PTR will be deferenced.

Fix the problem by checking numgrps first in group_cpus_evenly(), and
return NULL directly if numgrps is zero.

<title>pldmfw: Select CRC32 when PLDMFW is selected</title>

[ Upstream commit 1224b218a4b9203656ecc932152f4c81a97b4fcc ]

pldmfw calls crc32 code and depends on it being enabled, else
there is a link error as follows. So PLDMFW should select CRC32.

  lib/pldmfw/pldmfw.o: In function `pldmfw_flash_image':
  pldmfw.c:(.text+0x70f): undefined reference to `crc32_le_base'

This problem was introduced by commit b8265621f488 ("Add pldmfw library
for PLDM firmware update").

It manifests as of commit d69ea414c9b4 ("ice: implement device flash
update via devlink").

And is more likely to occur as of commit 9ad19171b6d6 ("lib/crc: remove
unnecessary prompt for CONFIG_CRC32 and drop 'default y'").

Found by chance while exercising builds based on tinyconfig.

[ Upstream commit cc47f07234f72cbd8e2c973cdbf2a6730660a463 ]

Unlike the decompression code, the compression code in LZO never
checked for output overruns.  It instead assumes that the caller
always provides enough buffer space, disregarding the buffer length
provided by the caller.

Add a safe compression interface that checks for the end of buffer
before each write.  Use the safe interface in crypto/lzo.

<title>dql: Fix dql-&gt;limit value when reset.</title>

[ Upstream commit 3a17f23f7c36bac3a3584aaf97d3e3e0b2790396 ]

Executing dql_reset after setting a non-zero value for limit_min can
lead to an unreasonable situation where dql-&gt;limit is less than
dql-&gt;limit_min.

For instance, after setting
/sys/class/net/eth*/queues/tx-0/byte_queue_limits/limit_min,
an ifconfig down/up operation might cause the ethernet driver to call
netdev_tx_reset_queue, which in turn invokes dql_reset.

In this case, dql-&gt;limit is reset to 0 while dql-&gt;limit_min remains
non-zero value, which is unexpected. The limit should always be
greater than or equal to limit_min.

[ Upstream commit 3a17f23f7c36bac3a3584aaf97d3e3e0b2790396 ]

Executing dql_reset after setting a non-zero value for limit_min can
lead to an unreasonable situation where dql-&gt;limit is less than
dql-&gt;limit_min.

For instance, after setting
/sys/class/net/eth*/queues/tx-0/byte_queue_limits/limit_min,
an ifconfig down/up operation might cause the ethernet driver to call
netdev_tx_reset_queue, which in turn invokes dql_reset.

In this case, dql-&gt;limit is reset to 0 while dql-&gt;limit_min remains
non-zero value, which is unexpected. The limit should always be
greater than or equal to limit_min.

[ Upstream commit 9b044614be12d78d3a93767708b8d02fb7dfa9b0 ]

Running lib_ubsan.ko on arm64 (without CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP) panics the
kernel:

[   31.616546] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: test_ubsan_out_of_bounds+0x158/0x158 [test_ubsan]
[   31.646817] CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 179 Comm: insmod Not tainted 6.15.0-rc2 #1 PREEMPT

[   31.655680]  do_init_module+0x58/0x2b4

That happens because the test corrupts other data in the stack:
400:   d5384108        mrs     x8, sp_el0
404:   f9426d08        ldr     x8, [x8, #1240]
408:   f85f83a9        ldur    x9, [x29, #-8]
40c:   eb09011f        cmp     x8, x9
410:   54000301        b.ne    470 &lt;test_ubsan_out_of_bounds+0x154&gt;  // b.any

As there is no guarantee the compiler will order the local variables
as declared in the module:
        volatile char above[4] = { }; /* Protect surrounding memory. */
        volatile int arr[4];
        volatile char below[4] = { }; /* Protect surrounding memory. */

There is another problem where the out-of-bound index is 5 which is larger
than the extra surrounding memory for protection.

So, use a struct to enforce the ordering, and fix the index to be 4.
Also, remove some of the volatiles and rely on OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR()

<title>string: Add load_unaligned_zeropad() code path to sized_strscpy()</title>

commit d94c12bd97d567de342fd32599e7cd9e50bfa140 upstream.

The call to read_word_at_a_time() in sized_strscpy() is problematic
with MTE because it may trigger a tag check fault when reading
across a tag granule (16 bytes) boundary. To make this code
MTE compatible, let's start using load_unaligned_zeropad()
on architectures where it is available (i.e. architectures that
define CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS). Because load_unaligned_zeropad()
takes care of page boundaries as well as tag granule boundaries,
also disable the code preventing crossing page boundaries when using
load_unaligned_zeropad().

<title>lib: scatterlist: fix sg_split_phys to preserve original scatterlist offsets</title>

commit 8b46fdaea819a679da176b879e7b0674a1161a5e upstream.

The split_sg_phys function was incorrectly setting the offsets of all
scatterlist entries (except the first) to 0.  Only the first scatterlist
entry's offset and length needs to be modified to account for the skip.
Setting the rest entries' offsets to 0 could lead to incorrect data
access.

I am using this function in a crypto driver that I'm currently developing
(not yet sent to mailing list).  During testing, it was observed that the
output scatterlists (except the first one) contained incorrect garbage
data.

I narrowed this issue down to the call of sg_split().  Upon debugging
inside this function, I found that this resetting of offset is the cause
of the problem, causing the subsequent scatterlists to point to incorrect
memory locations in a page.  By removing this code, I am obtaining
expected data in all the split output scatterlists.  Thus, this was indeed
causing observable runtime effects!

This patch removes the offending code, ensuring that the page offsets in
the input scatterlist are preserved in the output scatterlist.
