Fix a memory leak resulting from memory allocation in safe_name(). This patch fixes all call sites of safe_name(). Mathieu Malaterre reported the memory leak on boot: On my PowerMac device-tree would generate a duplicate name: [ 0.023043] device-tree: Duplicate name in PowerPC,G4@0, renamed to "l2-cache#1" in this case a newly allocated name is generated by `safe_name`. However in this case it is never deallocated. The bug was found using kmemleak reported as: unreferenced object 0xdf532e60 (size 32): comm "swapper", pid 1, jiffies 4294892300 (age 1993.532s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 6c 32 2d 63 61 63 68 65 23 31 00 dd e4 dd 1e c2 l2-cache#1...... ec d4 ba ce 04 ec cc de 8e 85 e9 ca c4 ec cc 9e ................ backtrace: [<c02d3350>] kvasprintf+0x64/0xc8 [<c02d3400>] kasprintf+0x4c/0x5c [<c0453814>] safe_name.isra.1+0x80/0xc4 [<c04545d8>] __of_attach_node_sysfs+0x6c/0x11c [<c075f21c>] of_core_init+0x8c/0xf8 [<c0729594>] kernel_init_freeable+0xd4/0x208 [<c00047e8>] kernel_init+0x24/0x11c [<c00158ec>] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x64 Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120331Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@am.sony.com> Reported-by: mathieu.malaterre@gmail.com Tested-by: Mathieu Malaterre <mathieu.malaterre@gmail.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>

The arch code calls of_platform_populate() with default match table when it wants to populate default bus. This patch introduce a new of_platform_default_populate_init() and make it arch_initcall_sync(it should be later than some iommu configration, eg, of_iommu_init() and swiotlb_late_init in arm64), then we can finish above job in common method. In order to avoid the default bus being populated twice, simply checking the flag of bus node whether has be set OF_POPULATED_BUS or not. After that, we can safely remove the caller in arch code. Btw, add debug print in of_platform_populate(), and use __func__ to print function's name of of_platform_bus_create().

The of_iommu_init() is called multiple times by arch code, make it postcore_initcall_sync, then we can drop relevant calls fully. Note, the IOMMUs should have a chance to perform some basic initialisation before we start adding masters to them. So postcore_initcall_sync is good choice, it ensures of_iommu_init() called before of_platform_populate.

Pull GPIO fixes from Linus Walleij: "A new bunch of GPIO fixes for v4.7. This time I am very grateful that Ricardo Ribalda Delgado went in and fixed my stupid refcounting mistakes in the removal path for GPIO chips. I had a feeling something was wrong here and so it was. It exploded on OMAP and it fixes their problem. Now it should be (more) solid. The rest i compilation, Kconfig and driver fixes. Some tagged for stable. Summary: - Fix a NULL pointer dereference when we are searching the GPIO device list but one of the devices have been removed (struct gpio_chip pointer is NULL). - Fix unaligned reference counters: we were ending on +3 after all said and done. It should be 0. Remove an extraneous get_device(), and call cdev_del() followed by device_del() in gpiochip_remove() instead and the count goes to zero and calls the release() function properly. - Fix a compile warning due to a missing #include in the OF/device tree portions. - Select ANON_INODES for GPIOLIB, we're using that for our character device. Some randconfig tests disclosed the problem. - Make sure the Zynq driver clock runs also without CONFIG_PM enabled - Fix an off-by-one error in the 104-DIO-48E driver - Fix warnings in bcm_kona_gpio_reset()" * tag 'gpio-v4.7-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: gpio: bcm-kona: fix bcm_kona_gpio_reset() warnings gpio: select ANON_INODES gpio: include <linux/io-mapping.h> in gpiolib-of gpiolib: Fix unaligned used of reference counters gpiolib: Fix NULL pointer deference gpio: zynq: initialize clock even without CONFIG_PM gpio: 104-dio-48e: Fix control port offset computation off-by-one error

We set up a minefield for ourselves by being confused about whether the limits are in bytes or sectors (SCSI optimal is in blocks and the queue parameter is in bytes).

-
Jann Horn authored
Until now, hitting this BUG_ON caused a recursive oops (because oops handling involves do_exit(), which calls into the scheduler, which in turn raises an oops), which caused stuff below the stack to be overwritten until a panic happened (e.g. via an oops in interrupt context, caused by the overwritten CPU index in the thread_info).

This prevents stacking filesystems (ecryptfs and overlayfs) from using procfs as lower filesystem. There is too much magic going on inside procfs, and there is no good reason to stack stuff on top of procfs. (For example, procfs does access checks in VFS open handlers, and ecryptfs by design calls open handlers from a kernel thread that doesn't drop privileges or so.)
