commit 8ef9724bf9718af81cfc5132253372f79c71b7e2 upstream.

When inserting a new register into a block, the present bit map size is
increased using krealloc. krealloc does not clear the additionally
allocated memory, leaving it filled with random values. Result is that
some registers are considered cached even though this is not the case.

Fix the problem by clearing the additionally allocated memory. Also, if
the bitmap size does not increase, do not reallocate the bitmap at all
to reduce overhead.

<title>Fix firmware loader uevent buffer NULL pointer dereference</title>

commit 6f957724b94cb19f5c1c97efd01dd4df8ced323c upstream.

The firmware class uevent function accessed the "fw_priv-&gt;buf" buffer
without the proper locking and testing for NULL.  This is an old bug
(looks like it goes back to 2012 and commit 1244691c73b2: "firmware
loader: introduce firmware_buf"), but for some reason it's triggering
only now in 4.2-rc1.

Shuah Khan is trying to bisect what it is that causes this to trigger
more easily, but in the meantime let's just fix the bug since others are
hitting it too (at least Ingo reports having seen it as well).

<title>regmap: Fix possible shift overflow in regmap_field_init()</title>

commit 921cc29473a0d7c109105c1876ddb432f4a4be7d upstream.

The way the mask is generated in regmap_field_init() is wrong.
Indeed, a field initialized with msb = 31 and lsb = 0 provokes a shift
overflow while calculating the mask field.

On some 32 bits architectures, such as x86, the generated mask is 0,
instead of the expected 0xffffffff.

This patch uses GENMASK() to fix the problem, as this macro is already safe
regarding shift overflow.

<title>regmap: Fix regmap_bulk_read in BE mode</title>

commit 15b8d2c41fe5839582029f65c5f7004db451cc2b upstream.

In big endian mode regmap_bulk_read gives incorrect data
for byte reads.

This is because memcpy of a single byte from an address
after full word read gives different results when
endianness differs. ie. we get little-end in LE and big-end in BE.

commit 1c34203a1496d1849ba978021b878b3447d433c8 upstream.

It is not necessary to call device_remove_groups() when device_add_groups()
fails.

The group added by device_add_groups() should be removed if sysfs_create_link()
fails.

commit 328f494d95aac8bd4896aea2328bc281053bcb71 upstream.

When inserting a new register into a block at the lower end the present
bitmap is currently shifted into the wrong direction. The effect of this is
that the bitmap becomes corrupted and registers which are present might be
reported as not present and vice versa.

Fix this by shifting left rather than right.

commit bb34cb6bbd287b57e955bc5cfd42fcde6aaca279 upstream.

bus_find_device_by_name() acquires a device reference which is never
released.  This results in an object leak, which on older kernels
results in failure to release all resources of PCI devices.  libvirt
uses drivers_probe to re-attach devices to the host after assignment
and is therefore a common trigger for this leak.

Example:

# cd /sys/bus/pci/
# dmesg -C
# echo 1 &gt; devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# echo 0 &gt; devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs

Fixes commit 2f06fa04cf35da5c24481da3ac84a2900d0b99c3 which was an
incorrect backported version of commit
d6b41cb06044a7d895db82bdd54f6e4219970510 upstream.

If val_count is zero we return -EINVAL with map-&gt;lock_arg locked, which
will deadlock the kernel next time we try to acquire this lock.

This was introduced by f5942dd ("regmap: fix possible ZERO_SIZE_PTR pointer
dereferencing error.") which improperly back-ported d6b41cb0.

This issue was found during review of Ubuntu Trusty 3.13.0-40.68 kernel to
prepare Ksplice rebootless updates.

commit e4a60d139060975eb956717e4f63ae348d4d8cc5 upstream.

There is a race condition when removing glue directory.
It can be reproduced in following test:

path 1: Add first child device
device_add()
    get_device_parent()
            /*find parent from glue_dirs.list*/
            list_for_each_entry(k, &amp;dev-&gt;class-&gt;p-&gt;glue_dirs.list, entry)
                    if (k-&gt;parent == parent_kobj) {
                            kobj = kobject_get(k);
                            break;
                    }
            ....
            class_dir_create_and_add()

path2: Remove last child device under glue dir
device_del()
    cleanup_device_parent()
            cleanup_glue_dir()
                    kobject_put(glue_dir);

If path2 has been called cleanup_glue_dir(), but not
call kobject_put(glue_dir), the glue dir is still
in parent's kset list. Meanwhile, path1 find the glue
dir from the glue_dirs.list. Path2 may release glue dir
before path1 call kobject_get(). So kernel will report
the warning and bug_on.

This is a "classic" problem we have of a kref in a list
that can be found while the last instance could be removed
at the same time.

This patch reuse gdp_mutex to fix this race condition.

The following calltrace is captured in kernel 3.4, but
the latest kernel still has this bug.

commit 471b095dfe0d693a8d624cbc716d1ee4d74eb437 upstream.

An empty firmware request name will trigger warnings when building
device names. Make sure this is caught earlier and rejected.

The warning was visible via the test_firmware.ko module interface:

echo -ne "\x00" &gt; /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_firmware/trigger_request
