In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: host-generic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on 32-bit CAM systems
On 32-bit systems the config space is too large to ioremap in one go, so
pci_ecam_create() maps each bus segment separately and relies on the
->add_bus callback (pci_ecam_add_bus) to populate the per-bus mapping in
cfg->winp[]. pci_ecam_map_bus() then uses that mapping as the base for
every config access.
The generic ECAM ops (pci_generic_ecam_ops) already provide the ->add_bus
and ->remove_bus callbacks, but the CAM (legacy) ops in pci-host-generic.c
do not. As a result, on a 32-bit host using "pci-host-cam-generic" the
per-bus mapping is never set up and the first config read dereferences a
NULL base, crashing during bus enumeration:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000800

Fix this by giving the CAM ops the same ->add_bus/->remove_bus callbacks.
Since pci_ecam_add_bus() and pci_ecam_remove_bus() are static to ecam.c,
move the CAM ops definition there as pci_generic_cam_ops (mirroring
pci_generic_ecam_ops) and export it for pci-host-generic.c to reference.
