usb: gadget: f_uac1_legacy: validate bRequest index in generic_{set,get}_cmdgrafted
generic_set_cmd() and generic_get_cmd() use the low nibble of ctrl->bRequest as an index into con->data[]: u8 cmd = (ctrl->bRequest & 0x0F); /* 0 .. 15 */ ... con->data[cmd] = value; /* OOB when cmd >= 5 */ struct usb_audio_control (include/linux/usb/audio.h) declares data as a 5-element array, so indices 5 through 15 write (or read) up to 44 bytes past the end of the array on the heap. A malicious USB host can craft a class-specific SET_CUR / GET_CUR request with an arbitrary bRequest value, triggering the out-of-bounds access from an IRQ completion handler with no further preconditions. Add an ARRAY_SIZE() guard to both functions.

+Debugging Kernel Shutdown Hangs with pstore
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Overview
+========
+If the system hangs while shutting down, the kernel logs may need to be
+retrieved to debug the issue.
+
+On systems that have a UART available, it is best to configure the kernel to use
+this UART for kernel console output.
+
+If a UART isn't available, the ``pstore`` subsystem provides a mechanism to
+persist this data across a system reset, allowing it to be retrieved on the next
+boot.
+
+Kernel Configuration
+====================
+To enable ``pstore`` and enable saving kernel ring buffer logs, set the
+following kernel configuration options:
+
+* ``CONFIG_PSTORE=y``
+* ``CONFIG_PSTORE_CONSOLE=y``
+
+Additionally, enable a backend to store the data. Depending upon your platform
+some potential options include:
+
+* ``CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE=y``
+* ``CONFIG_PSTORE_RAM=y``
+* ``CONFIG_CHROMEOS_PSTORE=y``
+* ``CONFIG_PSTORE_BLK=y``
+
+Kernel Command-line Parameters
+==============================
+Add these parameters to your kernel command line:
+
+* ``printk.always_kmsg_dump=Y``
+ * Forces the kernel to dump the entire message buffer to pstore during
+ shutdown
+* ``efi_pstore.pstore_disable=N``
+ * For EFI-based systems, ensures the EFI backend is active
+
+Userspace Interaction and Log Retrieval
+=======================================
+On the next boot after a hang, pstore logs will be available in the pstore
+filesystem (``/sys/fs/pstore``) and can be retrieved by userspace.
+
+On systemd systems, the ``systemd-pstore`` service will help do the following:
+
+#. Locate pstore data in ``/sys/fs/pstore``
+#. Read and save it to ``/var/lib/systemd/pstore``
+#. Clear pstore data for the next event
