Summary
crypto: ccp - Always pass in an error pointer to __sev_platform_shutdown_locked()
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: ccp - Always pass in an error pointer to _sevplatformshutdownlocked()

When

9770b428b1a2 ("crypto: ccp - Move dev_info/err messages for SEV/SNP init and shutdown")

moved the error messages dumping so that they don't need to be issued by the callers, it missed the case where __sevfirmwareshutdown() calls _sevplatformshutdownlocked() with a NULL argument which leads to a NULL ptr deref on the shutdown path, during suspend to disk:

#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: errorcode(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 983 Comm: hib.sh Not tainted 6.17.0-rc4+ #1 PREEMPT(voluntary) Hardware name: Supermicro Super Server/H12SSL-i, BIOS 2.5 09/08/2022 RIP: 0010:sevplatformshutdownlocked.cold+0x0/0x21 [ccp]

That rIP is:

00000000000006fd <__sev_platform_shutdown_locked.cold>: 6fd: 8b 13 mov (%rbx),%edx 6ff: 48 8b 7d 00 mov 0x0(%rbp),%rdi 703: 89 c1 mov %eax,%ecx

Pass in a pointer to the function-local error var in the caller.

With that addressed, suspending the ccp shows the error properly at least:

ccp 0000:47:00.1: sev command 0x2 timed out, disabling PSP ccp 0000:47:00.1: SEV: failed to SHUTDOWN error 0x0, rc -110 SEV-SNP: Leaking PFN range 0x146800-0x146a00 SEV-SNP: PFN 0x146800 unassigned, dumping non-zero entries in 2M PFN region: [0x146800 - 0x146a00] ... ccp 0000:47:00.1: SEV-SNP firmware shutdown failed, rc -16, error 0x0 ACPI: PM: Preparing to enter system sleep state S5 kvm: exiting hardware virtualization reboot: Power down

Btw, this driver is crying to be cleaned up to pass in a proper I/O struct which can be used to store information between the different functions, otherwise stuff like that will happen in the future again.
