Here is the big set of char/misc/iio and other smaller driver subsystems
for 6.17-rc1. It's a big set this time around, with the huge majority
being in the iio subsystem with new drivers and dts files being added
there.
Highlights include:
- IIO driver updates, additions, and changes making more code const
and cleaning up some init logic
- bus_type constant conversion changes
- misc device test functions added
- rust miscdevice minor fixup
- unused function removals for some drivers
- mei driver updates
- mhi driver updates
- interconnect driver updates
- Android binder updates and test infrastructure added
- small cdx driver updates
- small comedi fixes
- small nvmem driver updates
- small pps driver updates
- some acrn virt driver fixes for printk messages
- other small driver updates
All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues.

The lookup_one_len family of functions is (now) only used internally by
a filesystem on itself either
- in a context where permission checking is irrelevant such as by a
virtual filesystem populating itself, or xfs accessing its ORPHANAGE
or dquota accessing the quota file; or
- in a context where a permission check (MAY_EXEC on the parent) has just
been performed such as a network filesystem finding in "silly-rename"
file in the same directory. This is also the context after the
_parentat() functions where currently lookup_one_qstr_excl() is used.
So the permission check is pointless.
The name "one_len" is unhelpful in understanding the purpose of these
functions and should be changed. Most of the callers pass the len as
"strlen()" so using a qstr and QSTR() can simplify the code.
This patch renames these functions (include lookup_positive_unlocked()
which is part of the family despite the name) to have a name based on
"lookup_noperm". They are changed to receive a 'struct qstr' instead
of separate name and len. In a few cases the use of QSTR() results in a
new call to strlen().
try_lookup_noperm() takes a pointer to a qstr instead of the whole
qstr. This is consistent with d_hash_and_lookup() (which is nearly
identical) and useful for lookup_noperm_unlocked().
The new lookup_noperm_common() doesn't take a qstr yet. That will be
tidied up in a subsequent patch.

When binderfs is not enabled, the binder driver parses the kernel
config to create all binder devices. All of the new binder devices
are stored in the list binder_devices.
When binderfs is enabled, the binder driver creates new binder devices
dynamically when userspace applications call BINDER_CTL_ADD ioctl. But
the devices created in this way are not stored in the same list.
This patch fixes that.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two

So far we relied on
.put_super = binderfs_put_super()
to destroy info we stashed in sb->s_fs_info. This gave us the required ordering
between ->evict_inode() and sb->s_fs_info destruction.
But the current implementation of binderfs_fill_super() has a memory leak in
the rare circumstance that d_make_root() fails because ->put_super() is only
called when sb->s_root is initialized. Fix this by removing ->put_super() and
simply do all that work in binderfs_kill_super().

The patchset in [1] exported some definitions to binder_internal.h in
order to make the debugfs entries such as 'stats' and 'transaction_log'
available in a binderfs instance. However, the DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE
macro expands into a static function/variable pair, which in turn get
redefined each time a source file includes this internal header.
This problem was made evident after a report from the kernel test robot
<lkp@intel.com> where several W=1 build warnings are seen in downstream
kernels. See the following example:
include/../drivers/android/binder_internal.h:111:23: warning: 'binder_stats_fops' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
111 | DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE(binder_stats);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
include/linux/seq_file.h:174:37: note: in definition of macro 'DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE'
174 | static const struct file_operations __name ## _fops = { \
| ^~~~~~
This patch fixes the above issues by moving back the definitions into
binder.c and instead creates an array of the debugfs entries which is
more convenient to share with binderfs and iterate through.

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.
As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

When I first wrote binderfs the new mount api had not yet landed. Now
that it has been around for a little while and a bunch of filesystems
have already been ported we should do so too. When Al sent his
mount-api-conversion pr he requested that binderfs (and a few others) be
ported separately. It's time we port binderfs. We can make use of the
new option parser, get nicer infrastructure and it will be easier if we
ever add any new mount options.
This survives testing with the binderfs selftests:
for i in `seq 1 1000`; do ./binderfs_test; done

Binderfs binder-control devices are cleaned up via binderfs_evict_inode
too() which will use refcount_dec_and_test(). However, we missed to set
the refcount for binderfs binder-control devices and so we underflowed
when the binderfs instance got unmounted. Pretty obvious oversight and
should have been part of the more general UAF fix. The good news is that
having test cases (suprisingly) helps.
Technically, we could detect that we're about to cleanup the
binder-control dentry in binderfs_evict_inode() and then simply clean it
up. But that makes the assumption that the binder driver itself will
never make use of a binderfs binder-control device after the binderfs
instance it belongs to has been unmounted and the superblock for it been
destroyed. While it is unlikely to ever come to this let's be on the
safe side. Performance-wise this also really doesn't matter since the
binder-control device is only every really when creating the binderfs
filesystem or creating additional binder devices. Both operations are
pretty rare.

This is a necessary follow up to the first fix I proposed and we merged
in 2669b8b0c7 ("binder: prevent UAF for binderfs devices"). I have been
overly optimistic that the simple fix I proposed would work. But alas,
ihold() + iput() won't work since the inodes won't survive the
destruction of the superblock.
So all we get with my prior fix is a different race with a tinier
race-window but it doesn't solve the issue. Fwiw, the problem lies with
generic_shutdown_super(). It even has this cozy Al-style comment:
if (!list_empty(&sb->s_inodes)) {
printk("VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of %s. "
"Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day...\n",
sb->s_id);
}
On binder_release(), binder_defer_work(proc, BINDER_DEFERRED_RELEASE) is
called which punts the actual cleanup operation to a workqueue. At some
point, binder_deferred_func() will be called which will end up calling
binder_deferred_release() which will retrieve and cleanup the
binder_context attach to this struct binder_proc.
If we trace back where this binder_context is attached to binder_proc we
see that it is set in binder_open() and is taken from the struct
binder_device it is associated with. This obviously assumes that the
struct binder_device that context is attached to is _never_ freed. While
that might be true for devtmpfs binder devices it is most certainly
wrong for binderfs binder devices.
So, assume binder_open() is called on a binderfs binder devices. We now
stash away the struct binder_context associated with that struct
binder_devices:
proc->context = &binder_dev->context;
/* binderfs stashes devices in i_private */
if (is_binderfs_device(nodp)) {
binder_dev = nodp->i_private;
info = nodp->i_sb->s_fs_info;
binder_binderfs_dir_entry_proc = info->proc_log_dir;
} else {
.
.
.
proc->context = &binder_dev->context;
Now let's assume that the binderfs instance for that binder devices is
shutdown via umount() and/or the mount namespace associated with it goes
away. As long as there is still an fd open for that binderfs binder
device things are fine. But let's assume we now close the last fd for
that binderfs binder device. Now binder_release() is called and punts to
the workqueue. Assume that the workqueue has quite a bit of stuff to do
and doesn't get to cleaning up the struct binder_proc and the associated
struct binder_context with it for that binderfs binder device right
away. In the meantime, the VFS is killing the super block and is
ultimately calling sb->evict_inode() which means it will call
binderfs_evict_inode() which does:
static void binderfs_evict_inode(struct inode *inode)
{
struct binder_device *device = inode->i_private;
struct binderfs_info *info = BINDERFS_I(inode);
clear_inode(inode);
if (!S_ISCHR(inode->i_mode) || !device)
return;
mutex_lock(&binderfs_minors_mutex);
--info->device_count;
ida_free(&binderfs_minors, device->miscdev.minor);
mutex_unlock(&binderfs_minors_mutex);
kfree(device->context.name);
kfree(device);
}
thereby freeing the struct binder_device including struct
binder_context.
Now the workqueue finally has time to get around to cleaning up struct
binder_proc and is now trying to access the associate struct
binder_context. Since it's already freed it will OOPs.
Fix this by introducing a refounct on binder devices.

We currently adhere to the reserved devices limit when creating new

namespace. But it is still possible to rob the host instances of their 4
reserved devices by creating the maximum allowed number of devices in a
single binderfs instance located in a non-initial ipc namespace and then
mounting 4 separate binderfs instances in non-initial ipc namespaces. That
happens because the limit is currently not respected for the creation of
the initial binder-control device node. Block this nonsense by performing
