[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9a99247c9c1d1c95c6e8153d013979aac6111c6e ]

The probe function is not allowed to fail after the RTC is registered
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* */
