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 Restructured Text 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.

If we fail to copy the just created file descriptor to userland, we
try to clean up by putting back 'fd' and freeing 'ib'. The code uses
put_unused_fd() for the former which is wrong, as the file descriptor
was already published by fd_install() which gets called internally by
anon_inode_getfd().
This makes the error handling code leaving a half cleaned up file
descriptor table around and a partially destructed 'file' object,
allowing userland to play use-after-free tricks on us, by abusing
the still usable fd and making the code operate on a dangling
'file->private_data' pointer.
Instead of leaving the kernel in a partially corrupted state, don't
attempt to explicitly clean up and leave this to the process exit
path that'll release any still valid fds, including the one created
by the previous call to anon_inode_getfd(). Simply return -EFAULT to
indicate the error.

For default mechanism, product would use default MRU 3500 if
they didn't define it. But for Cinterion MV31-W, there is a known
issue which MRU 3500 would lead to data connection lost.
So we align it with Qualcomm default MRU settings.

Commit effa453168a7 ("i2c: i801: Don't silently correct invalid transfer
size") revealed that ee1004_eeprom_read() did not properly limit how
many bytes to read at once.
In particular, i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated() takes the
length to read as an u8. If count == 256 after taking into account the
offset and page boundary, the cast to u8 overflows. And this is common
when user space tries to read the entire EEPROM at once.
To fix it, limit each read to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32) bytes, already
the maximum length i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated() allows.

The D-PHY specification (v1.2) explicitly mentions that the T-CLK-PRE
parameter's unit is Unit Interval(UI) and the minimum value is 8. Also,
kernel doc of the 'clk_pre' member of struct phy_configure_opts_mipi_dphy
mentions that it should be in UI. However, the dphy core driver wrongly
sets 'clk_pre' to 8000, which seems to hint that it's in picoseconds.
So, let's fix the dphy core driver to correctly reflect the T-CLK-PRE
parameter's minimum value according to the D-PHY specification.
I'm assuming that all impacted custom drivers shall program values in
TxByteClkHS cycles into hardware for the T-CLK-PRE parameter. The D-PHY
specification mentions that the frequency of TxByteClkHS is exactly 1/8
the High-Speed(HS) bit rate(each HS bit consumes one UI). So, relevant
custom driver code is changed to program those values as
DIV_ROUND_UP(cfg->clk_pre, BITS_PER_BYTE), then.
Note that I've only tested the patch with RM67191 DSI panel on i.MX8mq EVK.
Help is needed to test with other i.MX8mq, Meson and Rockchip platforms,
as I don't have the hardwares.

If the copy back to userland fails for the FASTRPC_IOCTL_ALLOC_DMA_BUFF
ioctl(), we shouldn't assume that 'buf->dmabuf' is still valid. In fact,
dma_buf_fd() called fd_install() before, i.e. "consumed" one reference,
leaving us with none.
Calling dma_buf_put() will therefore put a reference we no longer own,
leading to a valid file descritor table entry for an already released
'file' object which is a straight use-after-free.
Simply avoid calling dma_buf_put() and rely on the process exit code to
do the necessary cleanup, if needed, i.e. if the file descriptor is
still valid.

TX_PROT_BUS_WIDTH and RX_PROT_BUS_WIDTH are single registers with
separate bit fields for each lane. The code in xpsgtr_phy_init_sgmii was
not preserving the existing register value for other lanes, so enabling
the PHY in SGMII mode on one lane zeroed out the settings for all other
lanes, causing other PS-GTR peripherals such as USB3 to malfunction.
Use xpsgtr_clr_set to only manipulate the desired bits in the register.
