In drivers/char/tpm/tpm_bios.c::read_log() we call
acpi_os_map_memory(). That call may fail for a number of reasons
(invallid address, out of memory etc). If the call fails it returns
NULL and we just pass that to memcpy() unconditionally, which will go
bad when it tries to dereference the pointer.
Unfortunately we just get NULL back, so we can't really tell the user
exactely what went wrong, but we can at least avoid crashing and
return an error (-EIO seemed more generic and more suitable here than
-ENOMEM or something else, so I picked that).

Thanks Jesper. I'd made some updates to tpm_bios.c recently but this
should still apply. I'll let you know if not.

Of course I'm wrong here, this code moved over into tpm_acpi.c. If you
can resubmit on top of my staging tree, I will apply it there.

Also please add kfree(log->bios_event_log); in this error path.

No problem. I'll have that patch for you in a moment when I'm done
fetching your tree.

In drivers/char/tpm/tpm_acpi.c::read_log() we call
acpi_os_map_memory(). That call may fail for a number of reasons
(invalid address, out of memory etc). If the call fails it returns
NULL and we just pass that to memcpy() unconditionally, which will go
bad when it tries to dereference the pointer.
Unfortunately we just get NULL back, so we can't really tell the user
exactely what went wrong, but we can at least avoid crashing and
return an error (-EIO seemed more generic and more suitable here than
-ENOMEM or something else, so I picked that).
