commit 4bb1e7d027413835b086aed35bc3f0713bc0f72b upstream.

Only buffer objects are valid return values of _STR.

If something else is returned description_show() will access invalid
memory.

[ Upstream commit 48cf49d31994ff97b33c4044e618560ec84d35fb ]

snprintf() does not return negative values on error.

To know if the buffer was too small, the returned value needs to be
compared with the length of the passed buffer. If it is greater or
equal, the output has been truncated, so add checks for the truncation
to create_pnp_modalias() and create_of_modalias(). Also make them
return -ENOMEM in that case, as they already do that elsewhere.

Moreover, the remaining size of the buffer used by snprintf() needs to
be updated after the first write to avoid out-of-bounds access as
already done correctly in create_pnp_modalias(), but not in
create_of_modalias(), so change the latter accordingly.

acpi_companion_match() doesn't alter the contents of the passed
parameter, so we don't expect that returned value can be altered
either. So constify it.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1.

  There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work
  falls into two different categories:

   - fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review
     cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices.
     Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a
     watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems.

   - driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be
     moved into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust
     has pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are
     passing around and working with structures that really do not have
     to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only
     making things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work
     (started last release with kobject changes) in moving struct
     bus_type to be constant. We didn't quite make it for this release,
     but the remaining patches will be finished up for the release after
     this one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort.

  Other than that we have in here:

   - debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems

   - error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit
     codepaths.

   - cacheinfo rework and fixes

   - Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog

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

[ Geert Uytterhoeven points out that that last sentence isn't true, and
  that there's a pending report that has a fix that is queued up - Linus ]

Since commit ee6d3dd4ed48 ("driver core: make kobj_type constant.")
the driver core allows the usage of const struct kobj_type.

Take advantage of this to constify the structure definitions to prevent
modification at runtime.

The uevent() callback in struct device_type should not be modifying the
device that is passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the
function signature changes out into all relevant subsystems that use
this callback.

There are currently 2 ways to create a set of sysfs files for a
kobj_type, through the default_attrs field, and the default_groups
field.  Move the ACPI sysfs code to use default_groups field which has
been the preferred way since aa30f47cf666 ("kobject: Add support for
default attribute groups to kobj_type") so that we can soon get rid of
the obsolete default_attrs field.

<id>urn:sha1:888be6067b97132c3992866bbcf647572253ab3f</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, a device description can be obtained using ACPI, if the _STR
method exists for a particular device, and then exposed to the userspace
via a sysfs object as a string value.

If the _STR method is available for a given device then the data
(usually a Unicode string) is read and stored in a buffer (of the
ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER type) with a pointer to said buffer cached in the
struct acpi_device_pnp for later access.

The description_show() function is responsible for exposing the device
description to the userspace via a corresponding sysfs object and
internally calls the utf16s_to_utf8s() function with a pointer to the
buffer that contains the Unicode string so that it can be converted from
UTF16 encoding to UTF8 and thus allowing for the value to be safely
stored and later displayed.

When invoking the utf16s_to_utf8s() function, the description_show()
function also sets a limit of the data that can be saved into a provided
buffer as a result of the character conversion to be a total of
PAGE_SIZE, and upon completion, the utf16s_to_utf8s() function returns
an integer value denoting the number of bytes that have been written
into the provided buffer.

Following the execution of the utf16s_to_utf8s() a newline character
will be added at the end of the resulting buffer so that when the value
is read in the userspace through the sysfs object then it would include
newline making it more accessible when working with the sysfs file
system in the shell, etc.  Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but if
the function utf16s_to_utf8s() happens to return the number of bytes
written to be precisely PAGE_SIZE, then we would overrun the buffer and
write the newline character outside the allotted space which can have
undefined consequences or result in a failure.

To fix this buffer overrun, ensure that there always is enough space
left for the newline character to be safely appended.
