<content type='text'>
commit 860f01e96981a68553f3ca49f574ff14fe955e72 upstream.

systemd by default starts watchdog on reboot and sets the timer to
ShutdownWatchdogSec=10min.  Reboot handler in ipmi_watchdog than reduces
the timer to 120s which is not enough time to boot a Xen machine with
a lot of RAM.  As a result the machine is rebooted the second time
during the long run of (XEN) Scrubbing Free RAM.....

Fix this by setting the timer to 120s only if it was previously
set to a low value.

commit 4495ec6d770e1bca7a04e93ac453ab6720c56c5d upstream.

When getting flags, a response to a different message would
result in a deadlock because of a missing unlock.  Add that
unlock and a comment.  Found by static analysis.

commit cdea46566bb21ce309725a024208322a409055cc upstream.

A vendor with a system having more than 128 CPUs occasionally encounters
the following crash during shutdown. This is not an easily reproduceable
event, but the vendor was able to provide the following analysis of the
crash, which exhibits the same footprint each time.

This is the corresponding stack trace

It has crashed because the area pointed with RIP extracted from timer
element is already removed during a shutdown process.

The function is smi_timeout().

And we think ffff8810588b5a00 in RDX is a parameter struct smi_info

crash&gt; rd ffff8810588b5a00 20

Unfortunately the top of this area is already detroyed by someone.
But because of two reasonns we think this is struct smi_info
 1) The address included in between  ffff8810588b5a70 and ffff8810588b5a80:
  are inside of ipmi_si_intf.c  see crash&gt; module ffff88085779d2c0

 2) We've found the area which point this.
  It is offset 0x68 of  ffff880859df4000

crash&gt; rd  ffff880859df4000 100
ffff880859df4000:  0000000000000000 0000000000000001   ................

 If we regards it as struct ipmi_smi in shutdown process
 it looks consistent.

commit 13b47cfcfc60495cde216eef4c01040d76174cbe upstream.

While cleaning up sysfs callback that prints EK we discovered a kernel
memory leak. This commit fixes the issue by zeroing the buffer used for
TPM command/response.

The leak happen when we use either tpm_vtpm_proxy, tpm_ibmvtpm or
xen-tpmfront.

commit d1bd4a792d3961a04e6154118816b00167aad91a upstream.

If a TPM2 loses power without a TPM2_Shutdown command being issued (a
"disorderly reboot"), it may lose some state that has yet to be
persisted to NVRam, and will increment the DA counter. After the DA
counter gets sufficiently large, the TPM will lock the user out.

NOTE: This only changes behavior on TPM2 devices. Since TPM1 uses sysfs,
and sysfs relies on implicit locking on chip-&gt;ops, it is not safe to
allow this code to run in TPM1, or to add sysfs support to TPM2, until
that locking is made explicit.

Odd versions of gcc for the sh4 architecture will actually warn about
flags being used while uninitialized, so we set them to zero. Non crazy
gccs will optimize that out again, so it doesn't make a difference.

Next, over aggressive gccs could inline the expression that defines
use_lock, which could then introduce a race resulting in a lock
imbalance. By using READ_ONCE, we prevent that fate. Finally, we make
that assignment const, so that gcc can still optimize a nice amount.

Finally, we fix a potential deadlock between primary_crng.lock and
batched_entropy_reset_lock, where they could be called in opposite
order. Moving the call to invalidate_batched_entropy to outside the lock
rectifies this issue.

It's possible that get_random_{u32,u64} is used before the crng has
initialized, in which case, its output might not be cryptographically
secure. For this problem, directly, this patch set is introducing the
*_wait variety of functions, but even with that, there's a subtle issue:
what happens to our batched entropy that was generated before
initialization. Prior to this commit, it'd stick around, supplying bad
numbers. After this commit, we force the entropy to be re-extracted
after each phase of the crng has initialized.

In order to avoid a race condition with the position counter, we
introduce a simple rwlock for this invalidation. Since it's only during
this awkward transition period, after things are all set up, we stop
using it, so that it doesn't have an impact on performance.
