      HID: wacom: Avoid using stale array indicies to read contact count · 20f3cf5f
      Jason Gerecke authored
      If we ever see a touch report with contact count data we initialize
      several variables used to read the contact count in the pre-report
      phase. These variables are never reset if we process a report which
      doesn't contain a contact count, however. This can cause the pre-
      report function to trigger a read of arbitrary memory (e.g. NULL
      if we're lucky) and potentially crash the driver.
      
      This commit restores resetting of the variables back to default
      "none" values that were used prior to the commit mentioned
      below.

      HID: wacom: Ignore the confidence flag when a touch is removed · df03e9bd
      Jason Gerecke authored
      AES hardware may internally re-classify a contact that it thought was
      intentional as a palm. Intentional contacts are reported as "down" with
      the confidence bit set. When this re-classification occurs, however, the
      state transitions to "up" with the confidence bit cleared. This kind of
      transition appears to be legal according to Microsoft docs, but we do
      not handle it correctly. Because the confidence bit is clear, we don't
      call `wacom_wac_finger_slot` and update userspace. This causes hung
      touches that confuse userspace and interfere with pen arbitration.
      
      This commit adds a special case to ignore the confidence flag if a contact
      is reported as removed. This ensures we do not leave a hung touch if one
      of these re-classification events occured. Ideally we'd have some way to
      also let userspace know that the touch has been re-classified as a palm
      and needs to be canceled, but that's not possible right now :)

      HID: wacom: Reset expected and received contact counts at the same time · 546e41ac
      Jason Gerecke authored
      These two values go hand-in-hand and must be valid for the driver to
      behave correctly. We are currently lazy about updating the values and
      rely on the "expected" code flow to take care of making sure they're
      valid at the point they're needed. The "expected" flow changed somewhat
      with commit f8b6a747 ("HID: wacom: generic: Support multiple tools
      per report"), however. This led to problems with the DTH-2452 due (in
      part) to *all* contacts being fully processed -- even those past the
      expected contact count. Specifically, the received count gets reset to
      0 once all expected fingers are processed, but not the expected count.
      The rest of the contacts in the report are then *also* processed since
      now the driver thinks we've only processed 0 of N expected contacts.
      
      Later commits such as 7fb0413b (HID: wacom: Use "Confidence" flag to
      prevent reporting invalid contacts) worked around the DTH-2452 issue by
      skipping the invalid contacts at the end of the report, but this is not
      a complete fix. The confidence flag cannot be relied on when a contact
      is removed (see the following patch), and dealing with that condition
      re-introduces the DTH-2452 issue unless we also address this contact
      count laziness. By resetting expected and received counts at the same
      time we ensure the driver understands that there are 0 more contacts
      expected in the report. Similarly, we also make sure to reset the
      received count if for some reason we're out of sync in the pre-report
      phase.

       "Withdraw the XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP* and XFS_IOC_FREESP* ioctl definitions.
      
        This is the third and final of a series of small pull requests that
        perform some long overdue housecleaning of XFS ioctls. This time,
        we're withdrawing all variants of the ALLOCSP and FREESP ioctls from
        XFS' userspace API. This might be a little premature since we've only
        just removed the functionality, but as I pointed out in the last pull
        request, nobody (including fstests) noticed that it was broken for 20
        years.
      
        In response to the patch, we received a single comment from someone
        who stated that they 'augment' the ioctl for their own purposes, but
        otherwise acquiesced to the withdrawal. I still want to try to clobber
        these old ioctl definitions in 5.17.
      
        So remove the header definitions for these ioctls. The just-removed
        implementation has allowed callers to read stale disk contents for
        more than **21 years** and nobody noticed or complained, which implies
        a lack of users aside from exploit programs"

      Pull xfs irix ioctl housecleaning from Darrick Wong:
       "Remove the XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP* and XFS_IOC_FREESP* ioctl families.
      
        This is the second of a series of small pull requests that perform
        some long overdue housecleaning of XFS ioctls. This time, we're
        vacating the implementation of all variants of the ALLOCSP and FREESP
        ioctls, which are holdovers from EFS in Irix, circa 1993. Roughly
        equivalent functionality have been available for both ioctls since
        2.6.25 (April 2008):
      
         - XFS_IOC_FREESP ftruncates a file.
      
         - XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP is the equivalent of fallocate.
      
        As noted in the fix patch for CVE 2021-4155, the ALLOCSP ioctl has
        been serving up stale disk blocks since 2000, and in 21 years
        **nobody** noticed. On those grounds I think it's safe to vacate the
        implementation.
      
        Note that we lose the ability to preallocate and truncate relative to
        the current file position, but as nobody's ever implemented that for
        the VFS, I conclude that it's not in high demand.
      
        Linux has always used fallocate as the space management system call,
        whereas these Irix legacy ioctls only ever worked on XFS, and have
        been the cause of recent stale data disclosure vulnerabilities. As
        equivalent functionality is available elsewhere, remove the code"
