[ Upstream commit af324dc0e2b558678aec42260cce38be16cc77ca ]

The static code analysis tool "Coverity Scan" pointed the following
implementation details out for further development considerations:
CID 1309755: Unused value
In sw842_compress: A value assigned to a variable is never used. (CWE-563)
returned_value: Assigning value from add_repeat_template(p, repeat_count)
to ret here, but that stored value is overwritten before it can be used.

Conclusion:
Add error handling for the return value from an add_repeat_template()
call.

commit a508ef4b1dcc82227edc594ffae583874dd425d7 upstream.

The output of ".%03u" with the unsigned int in range [0, 4294966295] may
get truncated if the target buffer is not 12 bytes. This can't really
happen here as the 'remainder' variable cannot exceed 999 but the
compiler doesn't know it. To make it happy just increase the buffer to
where the warning goes away.

commit 684d28feb8546d1e9597aa363c3bfcf52fe250b7 upstream.

fill_pool() uses 'obj_pool_min_free' to decide whether objects should be
handed back to the kmem cache. But 'obj_pool_min_free' records the lowest
historical value of the number of objects in the object pool and not the
minimum number of objects which should be kept in the pool.

Use 'debug_objects_pool_min_level' instead, which holds the minimum number
which was scaled to the number of CPUs at boot time.

In 2018, a dependency on &lt;linux/crc32poly.h&gt; was added to avoid
duplicating the same constant in multiple files.  Two months later it was
found to be a bad idea and the definition of CRC32_POLY_LE macro was moved
into xz_private.h to avoid including &lt;linux/crc32poly.h&gt;.

xz_private.h is a wrong place for it too.  Revert back to the upstream
version which has the poly in xz_crc32_init() in xz_crc32.c.

If we need to increase the tree depth, allocate a new node, and then
race with another thread that increased the tree depth before us, we'll
still have a preallocated node that might be used later.

If we then use that node for a new non-root node, it'll still have a
pointer to the old root instead of being zeroed - fix this by zeroing it
in the cmpxchg failure path.

<title>overflow: Implement size_t saturating arithmetic helpers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1ab137a90eeaea265fa205538e28f3a54f7fd730</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e1be43d9b5d0d1310dbd90185a8e5c7145dde40f upstream.

In order to perform more open-coded replacements of common allocation
size arithmetic, the kernel needs saturating (SIZE_MAX) helpers for
multiplication, addition, and subtraction. For example, it is common in
allocators, especially on realloc, to add to an existing size:

    p = krealloc(map-&gt;patch,
                 sizeof(struct reg_sequence) * (map-&gt;patch_regs + num_regs),
                 GFP_KERNEL);

There is no existing saturating replacement for this calculation, and
just leaving the addition open coded inside array_size() could
potentially overflow as well. For example, an overflow in an expression
for a size_t argument might wrap to zero:

    array_size(anything, something_at_size_max + 1) == 0

Introduce size_mul(), size_add(), and size_sub() helpers that
implicitly promote arguments to size_t and saturated calculations for
use in allocations. With these helpers it is also possible to redefine
array_size(), array3_size(), flex_array_size(), and struct_size() in
terms of the new helpers.

As with the check_*_overflow() helpers, the new helpers use __must_check,
though what is really desired is a way to make sure that assignment is
only to a size_t lvalue. Without this, it's still possible to introduce
overflow/underflow via type conversion (i.e. from size_t to int).
Enforcing this will currently need to be left to static analysis or
future use of -Wconversion.

Additionally update the overflow unit tests to force runtime evaluation
for the pathological cases.

<title>bitmap: introduce generic optimized bitmap_size()</title>

commit a37fbe666c016fd89e4460d0ebfcea05baba46dc upstream.

The number of times yet another open coded
`BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) * sizeof(long)` can be spotted is huge.
Some generic helper is long overdue.

Add one, bitmap_size(), but with one detail.
BITS_TO_LONGS() uses DIV_ROUND_UP(). The latter works well when both
divident and divisor are compile-time constants or when the divisor
is not a pow-of-2. When it is however, the compilers sometimes tend
to generate suboptimal code (GCC 13):

48 83 c0 3f          	add    $0x3f,%rax
48 c1 e8 06          	shr    $0x6,%rax
48 8d 14 c5 00 00 00 00	lea    0x0(,%rax,8),%rdx

%BITS_PER_LONG is always a pow-2 (either 32 or 64), but GCC still does
full division of `nbits + 63` by it and then multiplication by 8.
Instead of BITS_TO_LONGS(), use ALIGN() and then divide by 8. GCC:

8d 50 3f             	lea    0x3f(%rax),%edx
c1 ea 03             	shr    $0x3,%edx
81 e2 f8 ff ff 1f    	and    $0x1ffffff8,%edx

Now it shifts `nbits + 63` by 3 positions (IOW performs fast division
by 8) and then masks bits[2:0]. bloat-o-meter:

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 20/133 up/down: 156/-773 (-617)

Clang does it better and generates the same code before/after starting
from -O1, except that with the ALIGN() approach it uses %edx and thus
still saves some bytes:

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 9/133 up/down: 18/-538 (-520)

Note that we can't expand DIV_ROUND_UP() by adding a check and using
this approach there, as it's used in array declarations where
expressions are not allowed.
Add this helper to tools/ as well.

commit bf6acd5d16057d7accbbb1bf7dc6d8c56eeb4ecc upstream.

The decompression code parses a huffman tree and counts the number of
symbols for a given bit length.  In rare cases, there may be &gt;= 256
symbols with a given bit length, causing the unsigned char to overflow.
This causes a decompression failure later when the code tries and fails to
find the bit length for a given symbol.

Since the maximum number of symbols is 258, use unsigned short instead.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 97d833ceb27dc19f8777d63f90be4a27b5daeedf ]

ACLs in Spectrum-2 and newer ASICs can reside in the algorithmic TCAM
(A-TCAM) or in the ordinary circuit TCAM (C-TCAM). The former can
contain more ACLs (i.e., tc filters), but the number of masks in each
region (i.e., tc chain) is limited.

In order to mitigate the effects of the above limitation, the device
allows filters to share a single mask if their masks only differ in up
to 8 consecutive bits. For example, dst_ip/25 can be represented using
dst_ip/24 with a delta of 1 bit. The C-TCAM does not have a limit on the
number of masks being used (and therefore does not support mask
aggregation), but can contain a limited number of filters.

The driver uses the "objagg" library to perform the mask aggregation by
passing it objects that consist of the filter's mask and whether the
filter is to be inserted into the A-TCAM or the C-TCAM since filters in
different TCAMs cannot share a mask.

The set of created objects is dependent on the insertion order of the
filters and is not necessarily optimal. Therefore, the driver will
periodically ask the library to compute a more optimal set ("hints") by
looking at all the existing objects.

When the library asks the driver whether two objects can be aggregated
the driver only compares the provided masks and ignores the A-TCAM /
C-TCAM indication. This is the right thing to do since the goal is to
move as many filters as possible to the A-TCAM. The driver also forbids
two identical masks from being aggregated since this can only happen if
one was intentionally put in the C-TCAM to avoid a conflict in the
A-TCAM.

The above can result in the following set of hints:

H1: {mask X, A-TCAM} -&gt; H2: {mask Y, A-TCAM} // X is Y + delta
H3: {mask Y, C-TCAM} -&gt; H4: {mask Z, A-TCAM} // Y is Z + delta

After getting the hints from the library the driver will start migrating
filters from one region to another while consulting the computed hints
and instructing the device to perform a lookup in both regions during
the transition.

Assuming a filter with mask X is being migrated into the A-TCAM in the
new region, the hints lookup will return H1. Since H2 is the parent of
H1, the library will try to find the object associated with it and
create it if necessary in which case another hints lookup (recursive)
will be performed. This hints lookup for {mask Y, A-TCAM} will either
return H2 or H3 since the driver passes the library an object comparison
function that ignores the A-TCAM / C-TCAM indication.

This can eventually lead to nested objects which are not supported by
the library [1].

Fix by removing the object comparison function from both the driver and
the library as the driver was the only user. That way the lookup will
only return exact matches.

I do not have a reliable reproducer that can reproduce the issue in a
timely manner, but before the fix the issue would reproduce in several
minutes and with the fix it does not reproduce in over an hour.

Note that the current usefulness of the hints is limited because they
include the C-TCAM indication and represent aggregation that cannot
actually happen. This will be addressed in net-next.
