commit fd53aa40e65f518453115b6f56183b0c201db26b upstream.

The ioctl and sysfs handlers unconditionally call the -&gt;enable callback.
Not all drivers implement that callback, leading to NULL dereferences.
Example of affected drivers: ptp_s390.c, ptp_vclock.c and ptp_mock.c.

Instead use a dummy callback if no better was specified by the driver.

[ Upstream commit 73bde5a3294853947252cd9092a3517c7cb0cd2d ]

As I was working on a syzbot report, I found that KCSAN would
probably complain that reading q-&gt;head or q-&gt;tail without
barriers could lead to invalid results.

Add corresponding READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to avoid
load-store tearing.

[ Upstream commit 475b92f932168a78da8109acd10bfb7578b8f2bb ]

Scaled PPM conversion to PPB may (on 64bit systems) result
in a value larger than s32 can hold (freq/scaled_ppm is a long).
This means the kernel will not correctly reject unreasonably
high -&gt;freq values (e.g. &gt; 4294967295ppb, 281474976645 scaled PPM).

The conversion is equivalent to a division by ~66 (65.536),
so the value of ppb is always smaller than ppm, but not small
enough to assume narrowing the type from long -&gt; s32 is okay.

Note that reasonable user space (e.g. ptp4l) will not use such
high values, anyway, 4289046510ppb ~= 4.3x, so the fix is
somewhat pedantic.

[ Upstream commit 75718584cb3c64e6269109d4d54f888ac5a5fd15 ]

There is a bug in ptp_clock_unregister(), where ptp_cleanup_pin_groups()
first frees ptp-&gt;pin_{,dev_}attr, but then posix_clock_unregister() needs
them to destroy a related sysfs device.

These functions can not be just swapped, as posix_clock_unregister() frees
ptp which is needed in the ptp_cleanup_pin_groups(). Fix this by calling
ptp_cleanup_pin_groups() in ptp_clock_release(), right before ptp is freed.

This makes this patch fix an UAF bug in a patch which fixes an UAF bug.

[ Upstream commit a33121e5487b424339636b25c35d3a180eaa5f5e ]

In a case when a ptp chardev (like /dev/ptp0) is open but an underlying
device is removed, closing this file leads to a race. This reproduces
easily in a kvm virtual machine:

ts# cat openptp0.c
int main() { ... fp = fopen("/dev/ptp0", "r"); ... sleep(10); }
ts# uname -r
5.5.0-rc3-46cf053e
ts# cat /proc/cmdline
... slub_debug=FZP
ts# modprobe ptp_kvm
ts# ./openptp0 &amp;
[1] 670
opened /dev/ptp0, sleeping 10s...
ts# rmmod ptp_kvm
ts# ls /dev/ptp*
ls: cannot access '/dev/ptp*': No such file or directory

This happens in:

static void __fput(struct file *file)
{   ...
    if (file-&gt;f_op-&gt;release)
        file-&gt;f_op-&gt;release(inode, file); &lt;&lt;&lt; cdev is kfree'd here
    if (unlikely(S_ISCHR(inode-&gt;i_mode) &amp;&amp; inode-&gt;i_cdev != NULL &amp;&amp;
             !(mode &amp; FMODE_PATH))) {
        cdev_put(inode-&gt;i_cdev); &lt;&lt;&lt; cdev fields are accessed here

Namely:

__fput()
  posix_clock_release()
    kref_put(&amp;clk-&gt;kref, delete_clock) &lt;&lt;&lt; the last reference
      delete_clock()
        delete_ptp_clock()
          kfree(ptp) &lt;&lt;&lt; cdev is embedded in ptp
  cdev_put
    module_put(p-&gt;owner) &lt;&lt;&lt; *p is kfree'd, bang!

Here cdev is embedded in posix_clock which is embedded in ptp_clock.
The race happens because ptp_clock's lifetime is controlled by two
refcounts: kref and cdev.kobj in posix_clock. This is wrong.

Make ptp_clock's sysfs device a parent of cdev with cdev_device_add()
created especially for such cases. This way the parent device with its
ptp_clock is not released until all references to the cdev are released.
This adds a requirement that an initialized but not exposed struct
device should be provided to posix_clock_register() by a caller instead
of a simple dev_t.

This approach was adopted from the commit 72139dfa2464 ("watchdog: Fix
the race between the release of watchdog_core_data and cdev"). See
details of the implementation in the commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add
helper function to register char devs with a struct device").

<title>timex: use __kernel_timex internally</title>

<content type='text'>
struct timex is not y2038 safe.
Replace all uses of timex with y2038 safe __kernel_timex.

Note that struct __kernel_timex is an ABI interface definition.
We could define a new structure based on __kernel_timex that
is only available internally instead. Right now, there isn't
a strong motivation for this as the structure is isolated to
a few defined struct timex interfaces and such a structure would
be exactly the same as struct timex.

The patch was generated by the following coccinelle script:

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of char and misc driver patches for 4.21-rc1.

  Lots of different types of driver things in here, as this tree seems
  to be the "collection of various driver subsystems not big enough to
  have their own git tree" lately.

  Anyway, some highlights of the changes in here:

   - binderfs: is it a rule that all driver subsystems will eventually
     grow to have their own filesystem? Binder now has one to handle the
     use of it in containerized systems.

     This was discussed at the Plumbers conference a few months ago and
     knocked into mergable shape very fast by Christian Brauner. Who
     also has signed up to be another binder maintainer, showing a
     distinct lack of good judgement :)

   - binder updates and fixes

   - mei driver updates

   - fpga driver updates and additions

   - thunderbolt driver updates

   - soundwire driver updates

   - extcon driver updates

   - nvmem driver updates

   - hyper-v driver updates

   - coresight driver updates

   - pvpanic driver additions and reworking for more device support

   - lp driver updates. Yes really, it's _finally_ moved to the proper
     parallal port driver model, something I never thought I would see
     happen. Good stuff.

   - other tiny driver updates and fixes.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

We recently modified pps_register_source() to return error pointers
instead of NULL but it seems like there was a merge issue and part of
the commit was lost.  Anyway, the ptp_clock_register() function needs to
be updated to check for IS_ERR() as well.
