Pull char/misc driver fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here is a big set of char/misc/other driver fixes for 5.13-rc3.

  The majority here is the fallout of the umn.edu re-review of all prior
  submissions. That resulted in a bunch of reverts along with the
  "correct" changes made, such that there is no regression of any of the
  potential fixes that were made by those individuals. I would like to
  thank the over 80 different developers who helped with the review and
  fixes for this mess.

  Other than that, there's a few habanna driver fixes for reported
  issues, and some dyndbg fixes for reported problems.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"

The function hpet_resources() calls ioremap() two times, but in both
cases it does not check if ioremap() returned a null pointer. Fix this
by adding null pointer checks and returning an appropriate error.

This reverts commit 13bd14a41ce3105d5b1f3cd8b4d1e249d17b6d9b.

Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted.  It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
later kernel change.

While this is technically correct, it is only fixing ONE of these errors
in this function, so the patch is not fully correct.  I'll leave this
revert and provide a fix for this later that resolves this same
"problem" everywhere in this function.

If the total number of commands queried through TPM2_CAP_COMMANDS is
different from that queried through TPM2_CC_GET_CAPABILITY, it indicates
an unknown error. In this case, an appropriate error code -EFAULT should
be returned. However, we currently do not explicitly assign this error
code to 'rc'. As a result, 0 was incorrectly returned.

<id>bbcd53c960713507ae764bf81970651b5577b95a</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".

Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.

Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like

a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
  -&gt; kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.

b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
  -&gt; mem_pfn_is_ram()

Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.

Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.

CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?).  All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.

1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
   basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
   /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
   RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
   serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
   to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"

2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
   kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
   deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
   pages, though)

3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
   better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
   yourself into the foot.

4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
   to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
   /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
   kernels can be used.

5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.

Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".

Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.

Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like

a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
  -&gt; kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.

b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
  -&gt; mem_pfn_is_ram()

Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.

Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.

CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?).  All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.

1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
   basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
   /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
   RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
   serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
   to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"

2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
   kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
   deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
   pages, though)

3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
   better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
   yourself into the foot.

4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
   to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
   /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
   kernels can be used.

5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.

Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

   - Preparation to use devicetree for genpd
   - ti-sysc needs iorange check improved when the interconnect target
     module has no control registers listed
   - ti-sysc needs to probe l4_wkup and l4_cfg interconnects first to
     avoid issues with missing resources and unnecessary deferred probe
   - ti-sysc debug option can now detect more devices
   - ti-sysc now warns if an old incomplete devicetree data is found as
     we now rely on it being complete for am3 and 4
   - soc init code needs to check for prcm and prm nodes for omap4/5 and
     dra7
   - omap-prm driver needs to enable autoidle retention support for
     omap4
   - omap5 clocks are missing gpmc and ocmc clock registers
   - pci-dra7xx now needs to use builtin_platform_driver instead of
     using builtin_platform_driver_probe for deferred probe to work

  Raspberry Pi:
   - Fix-up all RPi firmware drivers so as for unbind to happen in an
     orderly fashion
   - Support for RPi's PoE hat PWM bus

  Qualcomm
   - Improved detection for SCM calling conventions
   - Support for OEM specific wifi firmware path
   - Added drivers for SC7280/SM8350: RPMH, LLCC&lt; AOSS QMP"
