[ Upstream commit 2c85c61d1332e1e16f020d76951baf167dcb6f7a ]

commit 0a3fe972a7cb ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing
bogus memset()") enforced the provided data to be at least the size of
the declared buffer in the report descriptor to prevent a buffer
overflow. However, we can try to be smarter by providing both the buffer
size and the data size, meaning that hid_report_raw_event() can make
better decision whether we should plaining reject the buffer (buffer
overflow attempt) or if we can safely memset it to 0 and pass it to the
rest of the stack.

<title>greybus: raw: fix use-after-free if write is called after disconnect</title>

[ Upstream commit 84265cbd96b97058ef67e3f8be3933667a000835 ]

If a user writes to the chardev after disconnect has been called, the
kernel panics with the following trace (with
CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON=y):

        BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000218
         ...
        Call Trace:
         &lt;TASK&gt;

         do_syscall_64+0xa4/0x290
         entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f

Disconnect calls gb_connection_destroy, which ends up freeing the
connection object. When gb_operation_sync is called in the write file
operations, its gets a freed connection as parameter and the kernel
panics.

The gb_connection_destroy cannot be moved out of the disconnect
function, as the Greybus subsystem expect all connections belonging to a
bundle to be destroyed when disconnect returns.

To prevent this bug, use a rw lock to synchronize access between write
and disconnect. This guarantees that the write function doesn't try
to use a disconnected connection.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 983cc2c7efbce04ecbf6328448d895044dd6ab31 ]

This addresses a use-after-free bug when a raw bundle is disconnected
but its chardev is still opened by an application. When the application
releases the cdev, it causes the following panic when init on free is
enabled (CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON=y):

        refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
        WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 139 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0xd0/0x130
         ...
        Call Trace:
         &lt;TASK&gt;
         cdev_put+0x18/0x30
         __fput+0x255/0x2a0
         __x64_sys_close+0x3d/0x80
         do_syscall_64+0xa4/0x290
         entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f

The cdev is contained in the "gb_raw" structure, which is freed in the
disconnect operation. When the cdev is released at a later time,
cdev_put gets an address that points to freed memory.

To fix this use-after-free, convert the struct device from a pointer to
being embedded, that makes the lifetime of the cdev and of this device
the same. Then, use cdev_device_add, which guarantees that the device
won't be released until all references to the cdev have been released.
Finally, delegate the freeing of the structure to the device release
function, instead of freeing immediately in the disconnect callback.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

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>

<content type='text'>
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 *".

The task to convert the Greybus subsystem to the GPIO descriptor
interface has been completed. A grep of the directory confirms that
no consumer drivers include &lt;linux/gpio.h&gt; or use the legacy integer
based GPIO API (gpio_request, gpio_set_value, etc).

Remove the stale entry from the TODO file.

<content type='text'>
This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:

   commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
   commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")

The refactoring is going to alter the default behavior of
alloc_workqueue() to be unbound by default.

With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU. For more details see the Link tag below.

In order to keep alloc_workqueue() behavior identical, explicitly request
WQ_PERCPU.
