rtc: ac100: Fix multiple race conditions
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The probe function is not allowed to fail after registering the RTC because
the following may happen:

CPU0:                                CPU1:
sys_load_module()
 do_init_module()
  do_one_initcall()
   cmos_do_probe()
    rtc_device_register()
     __register_chrdev()
     cdev->owner = struct module*
                                     open("/dev/rtc0")
    rtc_device_unregister()
  module_put()
  free_module()
   module_free(mod->module_core)
   /* struct module *module is now
      freed */
                                      chrdev_open()
                                       spin_lock(cdev_lock)
                                       cdev_get()
                                        try_module_get()
                                         module_is_live()
                                         /* dereferences already
                                            freed struct module* */

Also, the interrupt handler: ac100_rtc_irq() is dereferencing chip->rtc but
this may still be NULL when it is called, resulting in:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000194
pgd = (ptrval)

Solve both issues by moving to
devm_rtc_allocate_device()/rtc_register_device()
