commit d771fdf94180de2bd811ac90cba75f0f346abf8d upstream.

The ramoops buffer may be mapped as either I/O memory or uncached
memory.  On ARM64, this results in a device-type (strongly-ordered)
mapping.  Since unnaligned accesses to device-type memory will
generate an alignment fault (regardless of whether or not strict
alignment checking is enabled), it is not safe to use memcpy().
memcpy_fromio() is guaranteed to only use aligned accesses, so use
that instead.

commit 7e75678d23167c2527e655658a8ef36a36c8b4d9 upstream.

persistent_ram_update uses vmap / iomap based on whether the buffer is in
memory region or reserved region. However, both map it as non-cacheable
memory. For armv8 specifically, non-cacheable mapping requests use a
memory type that has to be accessed aligned to the request size. memcpy()
doesn't guarantee that.

commit d5a9bf0b38d2ac85c9a693c7fb851f74fd2a2494 upstream.

I have here a FPGA behind PCIe which exports SRAM which I use for
pstore. Now it seems that the FPGA no longer supports cmpxchg based
updates and writes back 0xff…ff and returns the same.  This leads to
crash during crash rendering pstore useless.
Since I doubt that there is much benefit from using cmpxchg() here, I am
dropping this atomic access and use the spinlock based version.

commit 4407de74df18ed405cc5998990004c813ccfdbde upstream.

A basic rmmod ramoops segfaults. Let's see why.

Since commit 34f0ec82e0a9 ("pstore: Correct the max_dump_cnt clearing of
ramoops") sets -&gt;max_dump_cnt to zero before looping over -&gt;przs but we
didn't use it before that either.

And since commit ee1d267423a1 ("pstore: add pstore unregister") we free
that memory on rmmod.

But even then, we looped until a NULL pointer or ERR. I don't see where
it is ensured that the last member is NULL. Let's try this instead:
simply error recovery and free. Clean up in error case where resources
were allocated. And then, in the free path, rely on -&gt;max_dump_cnt in
the free path.

commit 52d210d961a62a9662e27f14d6505d6741b2fb02 upstream.

In ee1d267423a1 ("pstore: add pstore unregister") I added:
	.owner = THIS_MODULE,
in both pstore_fs_type and pstore_file_operations to increase a reference
count when pstore filesystem is mounted and pstore file is opened.

But, it's repetitive. There is no need to increase the opened reference
count. We only need to increase the mounted reference count. When a file
is opened, the filesystem can't be unmounted. Hence the pstore module
can't be unloaded either.

So I drop the opened reference count in this patch.

pstore doesn't support unregistering yet. It was marked as TODO.
This patch adds some code to fix it:
 1) Add functions to unregister kmsg/console/ftrace/pmsg.
 2) Add a function to free compression buffer.
 3) Unmap the memory and free it.
 4) Add a function to unregister pstore filesystem.
