Decouple kzalloc from buffer creation, so that a managed allocation can be
used:

	struct tpm_buf *buf __free(kfree) buf = kzalloc(TPM_BUFSIZE,
						GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!buf)
		return -ENOMEM;

	tpm_buf_init(buf, TPM_BUFSIZE);

Alternatively, other allocations are also possible (static data, stack,
etc) for example:

	u8 buf_data[512];
	struct tpm_buf *buf = (struct tpm_buf *)buf_data;
	tpm_buf_init(buf, sizeof(buf_data));

This is achieved by embedding buffer's header inside the allocated blob,
instead of having an outer wrapper.

<title>KEYS: trusted: Fix TPM teardown ordering</title>

trusted_tpm_exit() drops the TPM chip reference and frees the digest
array before unregistering the trusted key type. key_type_lookup()
holds key_types_sem for reading until the key operation finishes, while
unregister_key_type() takes it for writing. It therefore provides the
synchronization point that must precede backend teardown.

The current order permits this interleaving:

  CPU 0                              CPU 1
  trusted_tpm_exit()                 key_type_lookup("trusted")
    put_device(&amp;chip-&gt;dev)             trusted_tpm_seal()
    kfree(digests)                       pcrlock()
    unregister_key_type()                  tpm_pcr_extend(..., digests)

CPU 1 can consequently dereference the freed digest array. The chip can
also be released before callbacks stop using it.

<title>KEYS: trusted: dcp: fix key_len validation and calc_blob_len() return type</title>

<id>35d661c98fe4733490f20b4311616a3c2c30abc0</id>
<content type='text'>
Two correctness and type-hygiene issues exist in the DCP trusted keys
implementation.

First, trusted_dcp_unseal() reads p-&gt;key_len from a user-supplied blob
without checking if it exceeds MAX_KEY_SIZE.  If a crafted blob provides a
payload_len larger than 128, the subsequent do_aead_crypto() call writes
past the end of the p-&gt;key array into the adjacent p-&gt;blob buffer within
the same struct trusted_key_payload -- the caller's own input, not
unrelated kernel memory.  While not exploitable, this violates strict array
bounds and triggers static analyzers.  Fix this by adding a validation
check against MIN_KEY_SIZE and MAX_KEY_SIZE immediately after reading the
length, matching the checks already done in trusted_core.c.

Second, calc_blob_len() calculates a sum in size_t that truncates to
unsigned int on 64-bit platforms.  Because the DCP hardware is only present
on 32-bit i.MX SoC platforms, size_t and unsigned int are functionally
equivalent in production, making this truncation harmless in practice.
Nevertheless, updating the return type to size_t (and subsequently updating
'blen' in the seal/unseal paths) resolves type-narrowing warnings and
improves overall code hygiene.

<title>KEYS: trusted: Debugging as a feature</title>

TPM_DEBUG, and other similar flags, are a non-standard way to specify a
feature in Linux kernel. Introduce CONFIG_TRUSTED_KEYS_DEBUG for trusted
keys, and use it to replace these ad-hoc feature flags.

Given that trusted keys debug dumps can contain sensitive data, harden the
feature as follows:

1. In the Kconfig description postulate that pr_debug() statements must be
   used.
2. Use pr_debug() statements in TPM 1.x driver to print the protocol dump.
3. Require trusted.debug=1 on the kernel command line (default: 0) to
   activate dumps at runtime, even when CONFIG_TRUSTED_KEYS_DEBUG=y.

Traces, when actually needed, can be easily enabled by providing
trusted.dyndbg='+p' and trusted.debug=1 in the kernel command-line.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".
