<title>modpost: fix input MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() built for 64-bit on 32-bit host</title>

[ Upstream commit 77dc55a978e69625f9718460012e5ef0172dc4de ]

When building a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit build host, incorrect
input MODULE_ALIAS() entries may be generated.

For example, when compiling a 64-bit kernel with CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=m
on a 64-bit build machine, you will get the correct output:

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/mousedev.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*110,*r*0,*1,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*r*8,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*14A,*r*a*0,*1,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*145,*r*a*0,*1,*18,*1C,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*110,*r*a*0,*1,*m*l*s*f*w*");

However, building the same kernel on a 32-bit machine results in
incorrect output:

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/mousedev.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*110,*130,*r*0,*1,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*r*8,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*14A,*16A,*r*a*0,*1,*20,*21,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*145,*165,*r*a*0,*1,*18,*1C,*20,*21,*38,*3C,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*110,*130,*r*a*0,*1,*20,*21,*m*l*s*f*w*");

A similar issue occurs with CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV=m. On a 64-bit build
machine, the output is:

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/joydev.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*0,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*2,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*8,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*6,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*120,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*130,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*2C0,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");

However, on a 32-bit machine, the output is incorrect:

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/joydev.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*0,*20,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*2,*22,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*8,*28,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*6,*26,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*11F,*13F,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*11F,*13F,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*2C0,*2E0,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");

When building a 64-bit kernel, BITS_PER_LONG is defined as 64. However,
on a 32-bit build machine, the constant 1L is a signed 32-bit value.
Left-shifting it beyond 32 bits causes wraparound, and shifting by 31
or 63 bits makes it a negative value.

The fix in commit e0e92632715f ("[PATCH] PATCH: 1 line 2.6.18 bugfix:
modpost-64bit-fix.patch") is incorrect; it only addresses cases where
a 64-bit kernel is built on a 64-bit build machine, overlooking cases
on a 32-bit build machine.

Using 1ULL ensures a 64-bit width on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines,
avoiding the wraparound issue.

[ Upstream commit 0c3e091319e4748cb36ac9a50848903dc6f54054 ]

This function contains multiple bugs after the following commits:

 - ac551828993e ("modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard")
 - 6543becf26ff ("mod/file2alias: make modalias generation safe for cross compiling")

Commit ac551828993e inserted the following code to do_eisa_entry():

    else
            strcat(alias, "*");

This is incorrect because 'alias' is uninitialized. If it is not
NULL-terminated, strcat() could cause a buffer overrun.

Even if 'alias' happens to be zero-filled, it would output:

    MODULE_ALIAS("*");

This would match anything. As a result, the module could be loaded by
any unrelated uevent from an unrelated subsystem.

Commit ac551828993e introduced another bug.            

Prior to that commit, the conditional check was:

    if (eisa-&gt;sig[0])

This checked if the first character of eisa_device_id::sig was not '\0'.

However, commit ac551828993e changed it as follows:

    if (sig[0])

sig[0] is NOT the first character of the eisa_device_id::sig. The
type of 'sig' is 'char (*)[8]', meaning that the type of 'sig[0]' is
'char [8]' instead of 'char'. 'sig[0]' and 'symval' refer to the same
address, which never becomes NULL.

The correct conversion would have been:

    if ((*sig)[0])

However, this if-conditional was meaningless because the earlier change
in commit ac551828993e was incorrect.

This commit removes the entire incorrect code, which should never have
been executed.

<title>modpost: fix tee MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE built on big-endian host</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 7f54e00e5842663c2cea501bbbdfa572c94348a3 ]

When MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(tee, ) is built on a host with a different
endianness from the target architecture, it results in an incorrect
MODULE_ALIAS().

For example, see a case where drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.c
is built as a module for ARM little-endian.

If you build it on a little-endian host, you will get the correct
MODULE_ALIAS:

    $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.mod.c
    MODULE_ALIAS("tee:ab7a617c-b8e7-4d8f-8301-d09b61036b64*");

However, if you build it on a big-endian host, you will get a wrong
MODULE_ALIAS:

    $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.mod.c
    MODULE_ALIAS("tee:646b0361-9bd0-0183-8f4d-e7b87c617aab*");

The same problem also occurs when you enable CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN,
and build it on a little-endian host.

This issue has been unnoticed because the ARM kernel is configured for
little-endian by default, and most likely built on a little-endian host
(cross-build on x86 or native-build on ARM).

The uuid field must not be reversed because uuid_t is an array of __u8.

[ Upstream commit cbc3d00cf88fda95dbcafee3b38655b7a8f2650a ]

Without this 'else' statement, an "usb" name goes into two handlers:
the first/previous 'if' statement _AND_ the for-loop over 'devtable',
but the latter is useless as it has no 'usb' device_id entry anyway.

Tested with allmodconfig before/after patch; no changes to *.mod.c:

    git checkout v6.6-rc3
    make -j$(nproc) allmodconfig
    make -j$(nproc) olddefconfig

    make -j$(nproc)
    find . -name '*.mod.c' | cpio -pd /tmp/before

    # apply patch

    make -j$(nproc)
    find . -name '*.mod.c' | cpio -pd /tmp/after

    diff -r /tmp/before/ /tmp/after/
    # no difference

The SoundWire 1.2 specification adds new capabilities that were not
present in previous version, such as the class ID.

To enable support for class drivers, and well as drivers that address
a specific version, all fields of the sdw_device_id structure need to
be exposed. For SoundWire 1.0 and 1.1 devices, a wildcard is used so
class and version information are ignored.

Some vendors like HPe or Dell, encode the release version of their BIOS
in the "System BIOS {Major|Minor} Release" fields of Type 0.

This information is used to know which bios release actually runs.
It could be used for some quirks, debugging sessions or inventory tasks.

A typical output for a Dell system running the 65.27 bios is :
	[root@t1700 ~]# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_release
	65.27
	[root@t1700 ~]#

Servers that have a BMC encode the release version of their firmware in the
 "Embedded Controller Firmware {Major|Minor} Release" fields of Type 0.

This information is used to know which BMC release actually runs.
It could be used for some quirks, debugging sessions or inventory tasks.

A typical output for a Dell system running the 3.75 bmc release is :
    [root@t1700 ~]# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/ec_firmware_release
    3.75
    [root@t1700 ~]#
