4d70986002 iommufd: Set upper bounds on cache invalidation entry_num and entry_len
iommufd_hwpt_invalidate() takes a user-controlled entry_num and entry_len,
each bounded only by U32_MAX. An entry_len beyond the kernel's struct size
makes the copy helper verify the extra bytes are zero, scanning that excess
in one uninterruptible pass; a multi-gigabyte value over zeroed user memory
trips the soft-lockup watchdog.

A large entry_num is the other half, driving the backend invalidation loop
with no reschedule. The VT-d nested handler, for one, copies each entry and
flushes caches per iteration, pinning the CPU on a non-preemptible kernel.

Cap both in the ioctl. entry_len is held under PAGE_SIZE, above any request
struct, and entry_num under 1 << 19, the order of a hardware invalidation
queue and well beyond any real batch, bounding the per-call loop length.

spi: xilinx: use FIFO occupancy register to determine buffer size
The method the driver uses to determine the size of the FIFO has a
problem. What it currently does is this:
It stops the SPI hardware and writes to the TX FIFO register until TX
FIFO FULL asserts in the status register. But the hardware does not only
have the FIFO, it also has a shift register which can hold a byte. This
can be seen, when writing a byte to the FIFO (while the SPI hardware is
stopped,) the TX FIFO EMPTY is still empty. So, if we have a FIFO size
of 16 for example, the current method returns a 17.
This is a problem, at least when using the driver in irq mode. The same
size determined for the TX FIFO is also assumed for the RX FIFO. When a
SPI transaction wants to write the amount of the FIFO size or more
bytes, the following happens, for example with 16 bytes FIFO size:
The driver stops the SPI hardware and writes 17 bytes to the TX FIFO and
starts the SPI hardware and goes sleep.
The hardware then shifts out 17 bytes (FIFO + shift register) and
simultaneously reads bytes into the RX FIFO, but it only has 16 places,
so it looses one byte. Then TX FIFO empty asserts, wakes the driver
again, which has a fast path and reads 16 bytes from the RX FIFO, but
before reading the last 17th byte (which is lost) it does this:

	sr = xspi->read_fn(xspi->regs + XSPI_SR_OFFSET);
	if (!(sr & XSPI_SR_RX_EMPTY_MASK)) {
		xilinx_spi_rx(xspi);
		rx_words--;
	}

It reads the status register and checks if the RX FIFO is not empty.
But it is empty in our case. So this check spins in a while loop
forever locking the driver.

This patch fixes the logic to determine the FIFO size.

298ab7e6f1 iommufd: Clarify IOAS_MAP_FILE dma-buf support
IOMMU_IOAS_MAP_FILE is documented as mapping a memfd, but the
implementation first tries to resolve the fd as a dma-buf and has a
special path for supported dma-buf exporters. In particular, VFIO PCI
dma-bufs exported through VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF can be mapped when
they describe a single DMA range.

Update the UAPI comment so userspace understands that certain kinds of
dma-buf are supported in addition to memfd.

modpost: Handle malformed WMI GUID strings
Some WMI GUIDs found inside binary MOF files contain both
uppercase and lowercase characters. Blindly copying such
GUIDs will prevent the associated WMI driver from loading
automatically because the WMI GUID found inside WMI device ids
always contains uppercase characters.

Avoid this issue by always converting WMI GUID strings to
uppercase. Also verify that the WMI GUID string actually looks
like a valid GUID.

db50fb8701 iommu/dma-iommu: Fix wrong scatterlist length assignment in P2PDMA path
In iommu_dma_map_sg(), when handling PCI P2PDMA cases, the DMA length
of the current scatterlist segment `s` is incorrectly assigned from the
head entry `sg->length` instead of the current entry `s->length`.

This typo causes all P2PDMA segments in the scatterlist to inherit the
length of the first segment, leading to corrupted DMA lengths for multi-
segment scatterlists.

Fix this by using `s->length` instead of `sg->length`.

platform/x86/amd/hsmp: Clamp ioctl/send_message indices (Spectre v1)
Although validate_message() checks msg_id, a mispredicted branch can
still allow speculative indexing into hsmp_msg_desc_table[]. Clamp
msg.msg_id with array_index_nospec() at entry to hsmp_ioctl_msg() so
downstream dereferences (including via is_get_msg() and
hsmp_send_message()) see a bounded index.

Similarly, hsmp_send_message() bounds-checks msg->sock_ind before
indexing hsmp_pdev.sock[], but a mispredicted branch can still
speculatively use the raw index (Spectre v1, CVE-2017-5753). Apply
array_index_nospec() after the check so every caller that reaches
hsmp_pdev.sock[] through this helper sees a clamped socket
index—including hsmp_ioctl_msg() and any other path that hands a
user-derived struct hsmp_message to hsmp_send_message().

9bc0bd9617 sparc: Avoid -Wunused-but-set-parameter in clear_user_page()
The loop in clear_user_pages() iterates over all pages and calls
clear_user_page() for each of them. During the loop "vaddr" is modified.
However on sparc clear_user() is a macro which does not use "vaddr".
The compiler sees a variable which is modified but never used and emits
a warning for that:

	include/linux/highmem.h: In function 'clear_user_pages':
	include/linux/highmem.h:234:63: warning: parameter 'vaddr' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-parameter=]
		static inline void clear_user_pages(void *addr, unsigned long vaddr,

Other architectures use an inline function for clear_user_page() which
avoids the warning. This is not possible on sparc, as
sparc_flush_page_to_ram() is not yet declared where clear_user_page() is
defined. Including cacheflush_32.h will trigger recursive and lots of
other issues.

So hide the warning with a cast to (void) instead.

While we are here, do the same for copy_user_page().

d8202786b3 udf: validate VAT header length against the VAT inode size
udf_load_vat() takes the virtual partition's start offset straight from
the on-disk VAT 2.0 header without checking it against the VAT inode
size:

	map->s_type_specific.s_virtual.s_start_offset =
		le16_to_cpu(vat20->lengthHeader);
	map->s_type_specific.s_virtual.s_num_entries =
		(sbi->s_vat_inode->i_size -
			map->s_type_specific.s_virtual.s_start_offset) >> 2;

lengthHeader is a fully attacker-controlled 16-bit value.  If it exceeds
the VAT inode size, the s_num_entries subtraction underflows to a huge
count, which defeats the "block > s_num_entries" bound in
udf_get_pblock_virt15(); and on the ICB-inline path that function reads

	((__le32 *)(iinfo->i_data + s_start_offset))[block]

so a large s_start_offset indexes past the inode's in-ICB data.  Mounting
a crafted UDF image with a virtual (VAT) partition then triggers an
out-of-bounds read.

Reject a VAT whose header length does not leave room for at least one
entry within the VAT inode.

efc86691e4 ALSA: seq: Fix kernel heap address leak in bounce_error_event()
The comment above bounce_error_event() documents that user clients
should receive SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_BOUNCE with the original event embedded
as variable-length data, while kernel clients should receive
SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR with a quoted kernel pointer.

However, the implementation unconditionally uses
SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR with data.quote.event set to the raw
struct snd_seq_event pointer for all clients.  When a bounce error
event is delivered to a USER_CLIENT via snd_seq_read(), the kernel
heap address in data.quote.event is exposed to userspace through
copy_to_user() in the fixed-length branch.

This is a distinct leak path from the one addressed by commit
705dd6dcbc ("ALSA: seq: Clear variable event pointer on read"),
which sanitizes data.ext.ptr in the variable-length branch of
snd_seq_read().  The bounce_error_event() leak uses fixed-length
events that take the else branch where no sanitization occurs.

Differentiate the bounce event by client type.  For USER_CLIENT,
send SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_BOUNCE with SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_LENGTH_VARIABLE
and data.ext pointing to the original event.  The variable-length
path in snd_seq_event_dup() copies the event data into chained
cells, and snd_seq_expand_var_event() copies only the content --
never the pointer -- to userspace.  For KERNEL_CLIENT, keep the
existing SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR behavior with the quoted
pointer.

3ec997bd55 udf: validate sparing table length as an entry count, not a byte count
udf_load_sparable_map() accepts a sparing table when

	sizeof(*st) + le16_to_cpu(st->reallocationTableLen) > sb->s_blocksize

is false, i.e. it treats reallocationTableLen as a number of BYTES that
must fit in the block.  But the table is walked as an array of 8-byte
sparingEntry elements:

	for (i = 0; i < le16_to_cpu(st->reallocationTableLen); i++) {
		struct sparingEntry *entry = &st->mapEntry[i];
		... entry->origLocation ...
	}

in udf_get_pblock_spar15() and udf_relocate_blocks().  A
reallocationTableLen of N therefore passes the check whenever
sizeof(*st) + N <= blocksize, yet the consumers index
sizeof(*st) + N * sizeof(struct sparingEntry) bytes -- up to ~8x the
block.  On a crafted UDF image this is an out-of-bounds read in
udf_get_pblock_spar15(); udf_relocate_blocks() additionally feeds the
same length to udf_update_tag(), whose crc_itu_t() reads far past the
block, and its memmove() through st->mapEntry[] is an out-of-bounds
write.

Validate reallocationTableLen as the entry count it is, with
struct_size().

the "#address-cells" from 2 to 1 and update unit-addresses and reg
accordingly. The 2-cell scheme was proposed in an early mailing list
sketch to prompt discussion[3], but the design evolved in ways that made
it unnecessary.

a287620312 vc_screen: fix null-ptr-deref in vcs_notifier() during concurrent vcs_write
A KASAN null-ptr-deref was observed in vcs_notifier():

BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in vcs_notifier+0x98/0x130
Read of size 2 at addr qmp_cmd_name: qmp_capabilities, arguments: {}

The issue is a race condition in vcs_write(). When the console_lock is
temporarily dropped (to copy data from userspace), the vc_data pointer
obtained from vcs_vc() may become stale. After re-acquiring the lock,
vcs_vc() is called again to re-validate the pointer. If the vc has been
deallocated in the meantime, vcs_vc() returns NULL, and the while loop
breaks (with written > 0). However, after the loop, vcs_scr_updated(vc)
is still called with the now-NULL vc pointer, leading to a null pointer
dereference in the notifier chain (vcs_notifier dereferences param->vc).

Fix this by adding a NULL check for vc before calling vcs_scr_updated().

37540b8c28 s390: Revert support for DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS
load_unaligned_zeropad() reads eight bytes from unaligned addresses and may
cross page boundaries. It handles exceptions which may happen if reading
from the second page results in an exception.

For pages which are donated to the Ultravisor for secure execution purposes
the do_secure_storage_access() exception handler however does not handle
such exceptions correctly. Such an exception may result in an endless
exception loop which will never be resolved.

An attempt to fix this [1] turned out to be not sufficient. For now revert
load_unaligned_zeropad() until this problem has been resolved in a proper
way.

Note that the implementation of load_unaligned_zeropad() itself is
correct. The revert is just a temporary workaround until there is complete
fix for secure storage access exceptions.

Vlastimil Babka (SUSE)
dfdfd58cce Merge branch 'slab/for-7.2/alloc_token' into slab/for-next
Merge series "slab: support for compiler-assisted type-based slab cache
partitioning" from Marco Elver. From the cover letter [6]:

Rework the general infrastructure around RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES into more
flexible KMALLOC_PARTITION_CACHES, with the former being a partitioning
mode of the latter.

Introduce a new mode, KMALLOC_PARTITION_TYPED, which leverages a feature
available in Clang 22 and later, called "allocation tokens" via
__builtin_infer_alloc_token() [1]. Unlike KMALLOC_PARTITION_RANDOM
(formerly RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES), this mode deterministically assigns a
slab cache to an allocation of type T, regardless of allocation site.

The builtin __builtin_infer_alloc_token(<malloc-args>, ...) instructs
the compiler to infer an allocation type from arguments commonly passed
to memory-allocating functions and returns a type-derived token ID. The
implementation passes kmalloc-args to the builtin: the compiler performs
best-effort type inference, and then recognizes common patterns such as
`kmalloc(sizeof(T), ...)`, `kmalloc(sizeof(T) * n, ...)`, but also
`(T *)kmalloc(...)`. Where the compiler fails to infer a type the
fallback token (default: 0) is chosen.

Note: kmalloc_obj(..) APIs fix the pattern how size and result type are
expressed, and therefore ensures there's not much drift in which
patterns the compiler needs to recognize. Specifically, kmalloc_obj()
and friends expand to `(TYPE *)KMALLOC(__obj_size, GFP)`, which the
compiler recognizes via the cast to TYPE*.

Clang's default token ID calculation is described as [1]:

   typehashpointersplit: This mode assigns a token ID based on the hash
   of the allocated type's name, where the top half ID-space is reserved
   for types that contain pointers and the bottom half for types that do
   not contain pointers.

Separating pointer-containing objects from pointerless objects and data
allocations can help mitigate certain classes of memory corruption
exploits [2]: attackers who gains a buffer overflow on a primitive
buffer cannot use it to directly corrupt pointers or other critical
metadata in an object residing in a different, isolated heap region.

It is important to note that heap isolation strategies offer a
best-effort approach, and do not provide a 100% security guarantee,
albeit achievable at relatively low performance cost. Note that this
also does not prevent cross-cache attacks: while waiting for future
features like SLAB_VIRTUAL [3] to provide physical page isolation, this
feature should be deployed alongside SHUFFLE_PAGE_ALLOCATOR and
init_on_free=1 to mitigate cross-cache attacks and page-reuse attacks as
much as possible today.

With all that, my kernel (x86 defconfig) shows me a histogram of slab
cache object distribution per /proc/slabinfo (after boot):

  <slab cache>      <objs> <hist>
  kmalloc-part-15    1465  ++++++++++++++
  kmalloc-part-14    2988  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
  kmalloc-part-13    1656  ++++++++++++++++
  kmalloc-part-12    1045  ++++++++++
  kmalloc-part-11    1697  ++++++++++++++++
  kmalloc-part-10    1489  ++++++++++++++
  kmalloc-part-09     965  +++++++++
  kmalloc-part-08     710  +++++++
  kmalloc-part-07     100  +
  kmalloc-part-06     217  ++
  kmalloc-part-05     105  +
  kmalloc-part-04    4047  ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
  kmalloc-part-03     183  +
  kmalloc-part-02     283  ++
  kmalloc-part-01     316  +++
  kmalloc            1422  ++++++++++++++

The above /proc/slabinfo snapshot shows me there are 6673 allocated
objects (slabs 00 - 07) that the compiler claims contain no pointers or
it was unable to infer the type of, and 12015 objects that contain
pointers (slabs 08 - 15). On a whole, this looks relatively sane.

Additionally, when I compile my kernel with -Rpass=alloc-token, which
provides diagnostics where (after dead-code elimination) type inference
failed, I see 186 allocation sites where the compiler failed to identify
a type (down from 966 when I sent the RFC [4]). Some initial review
confirms these are mostly variable sized buffers, but also include
structs with trailing flexible length arrays.

d3c45a0fee Merge branch 'slab/for-7.2/alloc_bulk' into slab/for-next
Merge two separately sent but vaguely related patches from Christoph
Hellwig.  One changes the kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() API to return bool,
because it was already actiong as all-or-nothing, and that aspect was
not documented. Existing callers are updated.

The second patch simplifies the mempool_alloc_bulk() API to stop
skipping over non-NULL entries in the array, and removes a related
parameter that said how many are non-NULL.

A similar simplification of alloc_pages_bulk() is being discussed as
well and should follow in near future.
