The ibmasm_send_i2o_message() function uses get_dot_command_size() to
compute the byte count for memcpy_toio(), but this value is derived from
user-controlled fields in the dot_command_header (command_size: u8,
data_size: u16) and is never validated against the actual allocation size.
A root user can write a small buffer with inflated header fields, causing
memcpy_toio() to read up to ~65 KB past the end of the allocation into
adjacent kernel heap, which is then forwarded to the service processor
over MMIO.
Silently clamping the copy size is not sufficient: if the header fields
claim a larger size than the buffer, the SP receives a dot command whose
own header is inconsistent with the I2O message length, which can cause
the SP to desynchronize. Reject such commands outright by returning
failure.
Validate command_size before calling get_mfa_inbound() to avoid leaking
an I2O message frame: reading INBOUND_QUEUE_PORT dequeues a hardware
frame from the controller's free pool, and returning without a
corresponding set_mfa_inbound() call would permanently exhaust it.
Additionally, clamp command_size to I2O_COMMAND_SIZE before the
memcpy_toio() so the MMIO write stays within the I2O message frame,
consistent with the clamping already performed by outgoing_message_size()
for the header field.

The command_file_write() handler allocates a kernel buffer of exactly
count bytes and copies user data into it, but does not validate the
buffer against the dot command protocol before passing it to
get_dot_command_size() and get_dot_command_timeout().
Since both the allocation size (count) and the header fields (command_size,
data_size) are independently user-controlled, an attacker can cause
get_dot_command_size() to return a value exceeding the allocation,
triggering OOB reads in get_dot_command_timeout() and an out-of-bounds
memcpy_toio() that leaks kernel heap memory to the service processor.
Fix with two guards: reject writes smaller than sizeof(struct
dot_command_header) before allocation, then after copying user data
reject commands where the buffer is smaller than the total size declared
by the header (sizeof(header) + command_size + data_size). This ensures
all subsequent header and payload field accesses stay within the buffer.

ibmasm_handle_mouse_interrupt() performs an out-of-bounds MMIO read
when the queue reader or writer index from hardware exceeds
REMOTE_QUEUE_SIZE (60).
A compromised service processor can trigger this by writing an
out-of-range value to the reader or writer MMIO register before
asserting an interrupt. Since writer is re-read from hardware on
every loop iteration, it can also be set to an out-of-range value
after the loop has already started.
The root cause is that get_queue_reader() and get_queue_writer() return
raw readl() values that are passed directly into get_queue_entry(),
which computes:
queue_begin + reader * sizeof(struct remote_input)
with no bounds check. This unchecked MMIO address is then passed to
memcpy_fromio(), reading 8 bytes from unintended device registers.
For sufficiently large values the address falls outside the PCI BAR
mapping entirely, triggering a machine check exception.
Fix by checking both indices against REMOTE_QUEUE_SIZE at the top of
the loop body, before any call to get_queue_entry(). On an out-of-range
value, reset the reader register to 0 via set_queue_reader() before
breaking, so that normal queue operation can resume if the corrupted
hardware state is transient.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<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.

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 *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

static contents for each "service processor", whatever the fuck it is. Congruent subdirectories of root, created at mount time, taken out by kill_litter_super(). All dentries created with d_alloc_name() and are left pinned. The odd part is that the list of service providers is assumed to be unchanging - no locking, nothing to handle removals or extra elements added later on. ... and it's a PCI device. If you ever tell it to remove an instance, you are fucked - it doesn't bother with removing its directory from filesystem, it has a strange check that presumably wanted to be a check for removed devices, but it had never been fleshed out. Anyway, d_add() -> d_make_persistent()+dput() in ibmasmfs_create_dir() and ibmasmfs_create_file(), and make the latter return int - no need to even borrow that dentry, callers completely ignore it.

Pull Char/Misc/IIO/Binder updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of char/misc/iio and other driver subsystem
changes for 6.18-rc1.
Loads of different stuff in here, it was a busy development cycle in
lots of different subsystems, with over 27k new lines added to the
tree.
Included in here are:
- IIO updates including new drivers, reworking of existing apis, and
other goodness in the sensor subsystems
- MEI driver updates and additions
- NVMEM driver updates
- slimbus removal for an unused driver and some other minor updates
- coresight driver updates and additions
- MHI driver updates
- comedi driver updates and fixes
- extcon driver updates
- interconnect driver additions
- eeprom driver updates and fixes
- minor UIO driver updates
- tiny W1 driver updates
But the majority of new code is in the rust bindings and additions,
which includes:
- misc driver rust binding updates for read/write support, we can now
write "normal" misc drivers in rust fully, and the sample driver
shows how this can be done.
- Initial framework for USB driver rust bindings, which are disabled
for now in the build, due to limited support, but coming in through
this tree due to dependencies on other rust binding changes that
were in here. I'll be enabling these back on in the build in the
usb.git tree after -rc1 is out so that developers can continue to
work on these in linux-next over the next development cycle.
- Android Binder driver implemented in Rust.
This is the big one, and was driving a huge majority of the rust
binding work over the past years. Right now there are two binder
drivers in the kernel, selected only at build time as to which one
to use as binder wants to be included in the system at boot time.
The binder C maintainers all agreed on this, as eventually, they
want the C code to be removed from the tree, but it will take a few
releases to get there while both are maintained to ensure that the
rust implementation is fully stable and compliant with the existing
userspace apis.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

generic_delete_inode() is rather misleading for what the routine is doing. inode_just_drop() should be much clearer. The new naming is inconsistent with generic_drop_inode(), so rename that one as well with inode_ as the suffix. No functional changes.
