Sudeep Holla 4a4ffd352a firmware: arm_ffa: Correct 32-bit response handling in NOTIFICATION_INFO_GET 
[ Upstream commit be4d4543f7 ]

The FF-A specification allows NOTIFICATION_INFO_GET to return either a
64-bit (FFA_FN64_SUCCESS) or a 32-bit (FFA_SUCCESS) response, depending on
whether the firmware chooses the SMC64 or SMC32 calling convention.

The driver previously detected the response format by checking ret.a0, but
still interpreted the returned ID lists (x3..x17 or w3..w7) as if they always
followed the 64-bit SMC64 layout. In the SMC32 case, the upper 32 bits of
each argument register are undefined by the calling convention, meaning the
driver could read stale or garbage values when parsing notification IDs.

This resulted in incorrectly decoded partition/VCPU IDs whenever the FF-A
firmware used an SMC32 return path.

Fix the issue by:

- Introducing logic to map list indices to the correct u16 offsets,
  depending on whether the response width matches the kernel word size
  or is a 32-bit response on a 64-bit kernel.
- Ensuring that the packed ID list is parsed using the proper layout,
  avoiding reads from undefined upper halves in the SMC32 case.

With this change, NOTIFICATION_INFO_GET now correctly interprets ID list
entries regardless of the response width, aligning the driver with the FF-A
specification.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
