commit f59b701b4674f7955170b54c4167c5590f4714eb upstream.

KASAN reports a global-out-of-bounds access when running these nfit
tests: clear.sh, pmem-errors.sh, pfn-meta-errors.sh, btt-errors.sh,
daxdev-errors.sh, and inject-error.sh.

[] BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in nfit_test_ctl+0x769f/0x7840 [nfit_test]
[] Read of size 4 at addr ffffffffc03ea01c by task ndctl/1215
[] The buggy address belongs to the variable:
[] handle+0x1c/0x1df4 [nfit_test]

nfit_test_search_spa() uses handle[nvdimm-&gt;id] to retrieve a device
handle and triggers a KASAN error when it reads past the end of the
handle array. It should not be indexing the handle array at all.

The correct device handle is stored in per-DIMM test data. Each DIMM
has a struct nfit_mem that embeds a struct acpi_nfit_memdev that
describes the NFIT device handle. Use that device handle here.

<title>nvdimm: ndtest: Return -ENOMEM if devm_kcalloc() fails in ndtest_probe()</title>

commit a9e6aa994917ee602798bbb03180a194b37865bb upstream.

devm_kcalloc() may fail. ndtest_probe() allocates three DMA address
arrays (dcr_dma, label_dma, dimm_dma) and later unconditionally uses
them in ndtest_nvdimm_init(), which can lead to a NULL pointer
dereference under low-memory conditions.

Check all three allocations and return -ENOMEM if any allocation fails,
jumping to the common error path. Do not emit an extra error message
since the allocator already warns on allocation failure.

<title>ACPI: NFIT: Fix support for variable 'SPA' structure size</title>

<id>e9cfd259c6d386f6235395a13bd4f357a979b2d0</id>
<content type='text'>
ACPI 6.4 introduced the "SpaLocationCookie" to the NFIT "System Physical
Address (SPA) Range Structure". The presence of that new field is
indicated by the ACPI_NFIT_LOCATION_COOKIE_VALID flag. Pre-ACPI-6.4
firmware implementations omit the flag and maintain the original size of
the structure.

Update the implementation to check that flag to determine the size
rather than the ACPI 6.4 compliant definition of 'struct
acpi_nfit_system_address' from the Linux ACPICA definitions.

Update the test infrastructure for the new expectations as well, i.e.
continue to emulate the ACPI 6.3 definition of that structure.

Without this fix the kernel fails to validate 'SPA' structures and this
leads to a crash in nfit_get_smbios_id() since that routine assumes that
SPAs are valid if it finds valid SMBIOS tables.

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffffffffa8
