The usb function device call musb_gadget_queue() adds the passed
request to musb_ep::req_list,If the (request->length > musb_ep->packet_sz)
and (is_buffer_mapped(req) return false),the rxstate() will copy all data
in fifo to request->buf which may cause request->buf out of bounds.
Fix it by add the length check :
fifocnt = min_t(unsigned, request->length - request->actual, fifocnt);

Lake platforms
The device ID 0x465e is defined for the USB3 device controller in the CPU
sub-system of Alder Lake N platform. Hence updating the macro name
accordingly.
The device ID 0x54ee is defined for the USB2 controller on the PCH
sub-system for Alder Lake N platform. Hence updating the macro name
accordingly.
The device ID's defined for Alder Lake P is shared between
Alder Lake P, Alder Lake PS and Alder Lake M.
Hence updating the macro name to ADL from ADLP to make it common
and keeping it aligned with the xHCI ID's naming convention.
As we have two device controllers on Alder Lake platforms
i.e. one on PCH sub-system and another on CPU sub-system(USB3),
appending _PCH for the USB2 device ID macro to differentiate
between the 2 ID's.

When USB is in super-speed mode and disabled as a wakeup source,
observed that on the resume path, lanes have not been configured
properly in the phy-zynqmp driver.
As a result, after the resume, USB device detection failed on host.
To resolved the above issue, added phy_init on resume and phy_exit
on suspend path, to configure the GT lanes correctly.
The re-initialization of phy, reset the device and re-enumerate
the USB subsystem.
This use-case is specific to Xilinx ZynqMP SoC.

DWC3_EP_DELAYED_STOP is utilized to defer issuing the end transfer command
until the subsequent SETUP stage, in order to avoid end transfer timeouts.
During cable disconnect scenarios, __dwc3_gadget_ep_disable() is
responsible for ensuring endpoints have no active transfers pending. Since
dwc3_remove_request() can now exit early if the EP delayed stop is set,
avoid clearing all DEP flags, otherwise the transition back into the SETUP
stage won't issue an endxfer command.

Syzbot found an issue in usbmon module, where the user space client can
corrupt the monitor's internal memory, causing the usbmon module to
crash the kernel with segfault, UAF, etc.
The reproducer mmaps the /dev/usbmon memory to user space, and
overwrites it with arbitrary data, which causes all kinds of issues.
Return an -EPERM error from mon_bin_mmap() if the flag VM_WRTIE is set.
Also clear VM_MAYWRITE to make it impossible to change it to writable

When opts->pnp_string is changed with configfs, new memory is allocated for
the string. It does not, however, update dev->pnp_string, even though the
memory is freed. When rquesting the string, the host then gets old or
corrupted data rather than the new string. The ieee 1284 id string should
be allowed to change while the device is connected.
The bug was introduced in commit fdc01cc286be ("usb: gadget: printer:
Remove pnp_string static buffer"), which changed opts->pnp_string from a
char[] to a char*.
This patch changes dev->pnp_string from a char* to a char** pointing to
opts->pnp_string.

Multi-channel devices need to encode the channel selector in their
control requests and newer single-channel chip types use the same
request format.
Set the channel index also for these single-channel types so that the
index can be used to determine the baudrate request format instead of
listing types explicitly.
Note that FT232H and FTX accept either 0 or 1 as selector for their
single channel, presumably for backward compatibility reasons.

Commit 6a108a14fa35 ("kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT")
introduces CONFIG_EXPERT to carry the previous intent of CONFIG_EMBEDDED
and just gives that intent a much better name. That has been clearly a good
and long overdue renaming, and it is clearly an improvement to the kernel
build configuration that has shown to help managing the kernel build
configuration in the last decade.
However, rather than bravely and radically just deleting CONFIG_EMBEDDED,
this commit gives CONFIG_EMBEDDED a new intended semantics, but keeps it
open for future contributors to implement that intended semantics:
A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects
CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate
options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC
architectures, SLOB, etc).
Since then, this CONFIG_EMBEDDED implicitly had two purposes:
- It can make even more options visible beyond what CONFIG_EXPERT makes
visible. In other words, it may introduce another level of enabling the
visibility of configuration options: always visible, visible with
CONFIG_EXPERT and visible with CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
- Set certain default values of some configurations differently,
following the assumption that configuring a kernel build for an
embedded system generally starts with a different set of default values
compared to kernel builds for all other kind of systems.
Considering the first purpose, at the point in time where CONFIG_EMBEDDED
was renamed to CONFIG_EXPERT, CONFIG_EXPERT already made 130 more options
become visible throughout all different menus for the kernel configuration.
Over the last decade, this has gradually increased, so that currently, with
CONFIG_EXPERT, roughly 170 more options become visible throughout all
different menus for the kernel configuration. In comparison, currently with
CONFIG_EMBEDDED enabled, just seven more options are visible, one in x86,
one in arm, and five for the ChipIdea Highspeed Dual Role Controller.
As the numbers suggest, these two levels of enabling the visibility of even
more configuration options---beyond what CONFIG_EXPERT enables---never
evolved to a good solution in the last decade. In other words, this
additional level of visibility of configuration option with CONFIG_EMBEDDED
compared to CONFIG_EXPERT has since its introduction never become really
valuable. It requires quite some investigation to actually understand what
is additionally visible and it does not differ significantly in complexity
compared to just enabling CONFIG_EXPERT. This CONFIG_EMBEDDED---or any
other config to show more detailed options beyond CONFIG_EXPERT---is
unlikely to be valuable unless somebody puts significant effort in
identifying how such visibility options can be properly split and creating
clear criteria, when some config option is visible with CONFIG_EXPERT and
when some config option is visible only with some further option enabled
beyond CONFIG_EXPERT, such as CONFIG_EMBEDDED attempted to do. For now, it
is much more reasonable to simply make those additional seven options that
visible with CONFIG_EMBEDDED, visible with CONFIG_EXPERT, and then remove
CONFIG_EMBEDDED. If anyone spends significant effort in structuring the
visibility of config options, they may re-introduce suitable new config
options simply as they see fit.
Make the configs for usb chipidea glue drivers visible when CONFIG_EXPERT
is enabled.
