The e100_get_regs function is used to implement a simple register dump
for the e100 device. The data is broken into a couple of MAC control
registers, and then a series of PHY registers, followed by a memory dump
buffer.
The total length of the register dump is defined as (1 + E100_PHY_REGS)
* sizeof(u32) + sizeof(nic->mem->dump_buf).
The logic for filling in the PHY registers uses a convoluted inverted
count for loop which counts from E100_PHY_REGS (0x1C) down to 0, and
assigns the slots 1 + E100_PHY_REGS - i. The first loop iteration will
fill in [1] and the final loop iteration will fill in [1 + 0x1C]. This
is actually one more than the supposed number of PHY registers.
The memory dump buffer is then filled into the space at
[2 + E100_PHY_REGS] which will cause that memcpy to assign 4 bytes past
the total size.
The end result is that we overrun the total buffer size allocated by the
kernel, which could lead to a panic or other issues due to memory
corruption.
It is difficult to determine the actual total number of registers
here. The only 8255x datasheet I could find indicates there are 28 total
MDI registers. However, we're reading 29 here, and reading them in
reverse!
In addition, the ethtool e100 register dump interface appears to read
the first PHY register to determine if the device is in MDI or MDIx
mode. This doesn't appear to be documented anywhere within the 8255x
datasheet. I can only assume it must be in register 28 (the extra
register we're reading here).
Lets not change any of the intended meaning of what we copy here. Just
extend the space by 4 bytes to account for the extra register and
continue copying the data out in the same order.
Change the E100_PHY_REGS value to be the correct total (29) so that the
total register dump size is calculated properly. Fix the offset for
where we copy the dump buffer so that it doesn't overrun the total size.
Re-write the for loop to use counting up instead of the convoluted
down-counting. Correct the mdio_read offset to use the 0-based register
offsets, but maintain the bizarre reverse ordering so that we have the
ABI expected by applications like ethtool. This requires and additional
subtraction of 1. It seems a bit odd but it makes the flow of assignment
into the register buffer easier to follow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
