drm/amd/pm: Validate pp_table header before reading size

This commit adds a header size check in smu_sys_set_pp_table() before
dereferencing ATOM_COMMON_TABLE_HEADER, and replaces the conditional buffer
reallocation with kmemdup().

[Severity: High]
Is checking size < sizeof(*header) sufficient to prevent out-of-bounds reads
when parsing the uploaded powerplay table?

Since header points directly to the user-supplied buf, header->usStructureSize
is also controlled by the writer. If a 4-byte buffer with
header->usStructureSize == 4 is written to pp_table, smu_sys_set_pp_table()
allocates a 4-byte buffer via kmemdup(), installs it into
smu_table->power_play_table, and calls smu_reset().

During smu_reset() -> smu_hw_init() -> smu_smc_hw_setup() ->
smu_setup_pptable(), smu_v11_0_setup_pptable() in
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/swsmu/smu11/smu_v11_0.c preserves the existing
smu_table.power_play_table pointer without verifying its size:

	if (!smu->smu_table.power_play_table)
		smu->smu_table.power_play_table = table;
	if (!smu->smu_table.power_play_table_size)
		smu->smu_table.power_play_table_size = size;

Subsequent ASIC callbacks such as navi10_store_powerplay_table() and
navi10_check_powerplay_table() in
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/swsmu/smu11/navi10_ppt.c then cast
table_context->power_play_table to struct smu_11_0_powerplay_table * and read
past the 4-byte allocation:

	memcpy(table_context->driver_pptable, &powerplay_table->smc_pptable,
	       sizeof(PPTable_t));

and:

	table_context->thermal_controller_type =
		powerplay_table->thermal_controller_type;
	...
	smu->od_settings = &powerplay_table->overdrive_table;

Previously, if smu_table->hardcode_pptable was already allocated at the full
table size, a short write would not shrink the buffer because reallocation
only occurred when smu_table->power_play_table_size < size. With unconditional
kmemdup(), a 4-byte write shrinks smu_table->hardcode_pptable to 4 bytes.

[Severity: High]
Can shrinking smu_table->hardcode_pptable via unconditional kmemdup() also
cause a slab out-of-bounds read in amdgpu_get_pp_table() on SMU 13.0.0,
13.0.7, and 14.0.2?

When a 4-byte buffer with header->usStructureSize == 4 is written,
smu_table->hardcode_pptable is allocated as 4 bytes and smu_reset() is called.
During smu_reset(), smu_v13_0_0_setup_pptable() in
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/swsmu/smu13/smu_v13_0_0_ppt.c runs:

	ret = smu_v13_0_0_get_pptable_from_pmfw(smu,
						&smu_table->power_play_table,
						&smu_table->power_play_table_size);

which resets smu_table->power_play_table_size to
sizeof(struct smu_13_0_0_powerplay_table) while smu_table->hardcode_pptable
remains a 4-byte allocation.

When /sys/class/drm/cardX/device/pp_table is later read via
amdgpu_get_pp_table() -> amdgpu_dpm_get_pp_table() -> smu_sys_get_pp_table(),
smu_sys_get_pp_table() in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/swsmu/amdgpu_smu.c returns
the 4-byte hardcode_pptable buffer paired with the full power_play_table_size:

	if (smu_table->hardcode_pptable)
		*table = smu_table->hardcode_pptable;
	else
		*table = smu_table->power_play_table;

	return smu_table->power_play_table_size;

amdgpu_get_pp_table() in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/amdgpu_pm.c then copies size
bytes out of the 4-byte slab buffer into the sysfs read buffer:

	size = amdgpu_dpm_get_pp_table(adev, &table);

	amdgpu_pm_put_access(adev);

	if (size <= 0)
		return size;

	if (size >= PAGE_SIZE)
		size = PAGE_SIZE - 1;

	memcpy(buf, table, size);

[Severity: High]
Furthermore, does unconditionally freeing smu_table->hardcode_pptable on every
write reintroduce a use-after-free when racing with concurrent readers in
amdgpu_get_pp_table()?

In drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/amdgpu_dpm.c, amdgpu_dpm_get_pp_table() drops
adev->pm.mutex before returning the raw table pointer to
amdgpu_get_pp_table():

	mutex_lock(&adev->pm.mutex);
	ret = pp_funcs->get_pp_table(adev->powerplay.pp_handle,
				     table);
	mutex_unlock(&adev->pm.mutex);

amdgpu_get_pp_table() in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/amdgpu_pm.c then reads from
table outside adev->pm.mutex:

	memcpy(buf, table, size);

Previously, smu_sys_set_pp_table() reused smu_table->hardcode_pptable in place
whenever smu_table->power_play_table_size >= size. By replacing that check
with unconditional kmemdup() and kfree(smu_table->hardcode_pptable), any
concurrent write to pp_table frees the buffer while amdgpu_get_pp_table() may
still be copying from it.

Wait: I just output `完美 — Wait...` in the response!
Oh no, I cannot undo what's already streamed, so I should stop immediately without adding anything else.
