devlink: fix devlink_rel reference leak when notify work is pending
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
devlink: fix devlink_rel reference leak when notify work is pending
devlink_rel_nested_in_notify_work_schedule() takes a reference on the
devlink_rel for the notify work and then queues the work, ignoring the
return value of schedule_delayed_work(). If the work is already pending,
nothing new is queued, the work runs only once and drops only one
reference, so the extra one is leaked together with the devlink_rel and
its index in devlink_rels.
This is easy to hit. devl_register() of a nested instance queues the
work, and if the instance is unregistered before the work has run,
devlink_rel_put() queues it again while it is still pending. The work
also keeps rescheduling itself for as long as the parent devlink lock
cannot be taken, which widens the window. Registering and unregistering
a nested devlink instance 100 times while holding the parent lock leaks
all 100 devlink_rel objects.
The reschedule path in devlink_rel_nested_in_notify_work() has the same
problem: if the work was queued again while it was running, the
reference it holds is never dropped.
Drop the reference in both places when the work was already pending.
The pending work holds its own reference, so this can not be the last
one.

pfcp: make sure the SEID is linear before reading it
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pfcp: make sure the SEID is linear before reading it
pfcp_encap_recv() only makes sure that the UDP header and the 4 byte
PFCP header are in the linear area. When the S flag is set,
pfcp_session_recv() then reads the 8 byte SEID that follows, which is
not covered by the pskb_may_pull() check.
A short PFCP packet with the S flag set, or one whose session header
lies in a fragment, therefore makes pfcp_session_recv() read beyond the
end of the packet data, and whatever it finds there is stored in the
tunnel metadata that flower later classifies on.
Pull up to the end of the SEID before reading it, and drop packets
that are too short to contain it. Reload the header pointer afterwards
since pskb_may_pull() may reallocate the skb head.
Use offsetofend() rather than sizeof(struct pfcphdr_session): the
structure is not packed, so its size is 16 bytes because of the
alignment of the __be64 member, while the header on the wire is only 12
bytes, and valid session messages would be dropped.

flow_dissector: avoid u16 truncation of hlen in bpf_flow_dissect()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
flow_dissector: avoid u16 truncation of hlen in bpf_flow_dissect()
bpf_flow_dissect() sanitizes the offsets returned by the BPF program
with clamp_t(u16, ..., hlen).
If hlen is bigger than 65535, the upper bound is truncated before
the comparison. For instance, with hlen == 65536, both nhoff and
thoff are forced to zero, even if the program returned sane values.
This is the same class of bug as the one fixed in commit 99bda1ecbd56
("flow_dissector: avoid u16 truncation of skb->len when computing
thoff"). That fix does not cover the BPF path, because
__skb_flow_dissect() returns early when a BPF flow dissector
handles the packet.
struct bpf_flow_keys stores nhoff and thoff as u16, so cap hlen
to U16_MAX before clamping.
Found by sashiko while reviewing the commit above.

drm/imagination: Fix reference and vm_bo handling in remap()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/imagination: Fix reference and vm_bo handling in remap()
When a map overlaps part of an existing mapping, pvr_vm_gpuva_remap()
splits the mapping into prev/next parts covering what the request did
not take, instead of creating something new. It gets two things wrong.
- A GEM reference is taken for each part but it's never needed and never
dropped, so it leaks one reference per split (remap-next-in-2m in
tests/imagination/pvr_vm_map.c):
CRITICAL: 33558528 bytes of shmem still held after close
- The parts still belong to the original object being split, but
pvr_vm_gpuva_remap() links them to ctx->gpuvm_bo, the new object's
vm_bo:
prev_va --obj--> BO_A BO_B <--obj-- vm_bo (ctx->gpuvm_bo)
\___________link___________/ (mismatch: BO_A != BO_B)
drm_gpuva_link() catches the mismatch:
WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gpuvm.c:2108 at drm_gpuva_link+0x2ec/0x310

pvr_ioctl_vm_map
Link them to op->remap.unmap->va->vm_bo instead.
The locking of the GPUVA lists of the other objects touched by a split is
not addressed here; it is handled by switching the GPUVM to immediate
mode.

mlxsw: spectrum_flower: Fix port range register leak in tmplt_create()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_flower: Fix port range register leak in tmplt_create()
mlxsw_sp_flower_tmplt_create() parses a flow_cls_offload template
into a stack-local struct mlxsw_sp_acl_rule_info purely to compute
rulei.values.elusage. Parsing can acquire port range registers via
mlxsw_sp_flower_parse_ports_range(), but since this rulei never goes
through mlxsw_sp_acl_rulei_destroy(), those registers were never
released, including through chain template deletion.
Factor out of mlxsw_sp_acl_rulei_destroy() the code to actually
release the necessary resources and call from
mlxsw_sp_flower_tmplt_create() to plug the leak.
The issue was found during a review of Wentao Liang's patch referenced
below.

drm/vc4: Disable the V3D interrupt across runtime suspend
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: Disable the V3D interrupt across runtime suspend
vc4_irq_disable() masks the V3D interrupt sources and then calls
synchronize_irq() before the V3D is powered down. However, by itself,
this is not enough to quiesce the interrupt handler.
synchronize_irq() waits for handlers that have already set
IRQD_IRQ_INPROGRESS, and for irqchips reporting IRQCHIP_STATE_ACTIVE.
A GIC interrupt chip is able to mark an interrupt active as soon as a
CPU acknowledges it, so there these checks cover the whole dispatch path.
On RPi 0-3, however, the interrupt controller is ARMCTRL, which has no
active state. A CPU that has read the hwirq out of the pending register
but has not yet reached handle_level_irq() stays invisible to
synchronize_irq().
During a power transition, vc4_irq() may therefore run after the power
domain is off, where every V3D register read will return 0xdeadbeef.
0xdeadbeef has FLDONE, FRDONE and OUTOMEM set. This problem doesn't
trigger NULL pointer dereference issues only because the functions
vc4_irq_finish_bin_job() and vc4_irq_finish_render_job() return early
when there is no job pointer, but OUTOMEM is still able to schedule
vc4_overflow_mem_work() after vc4_irq_disable() has already cancelled it.
Therefore, fix the spurious interrupts by disabling the interrupt line
across the PM transition. To preserve the enable/disable balance, move
vc4_irq_install() and request the IRQ line disabled before the first
runtime resume.

HID: steam: Rearrange teardown sequence
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: steam: Rearrange teardown sequence
This fixes a narrow window during the teardown sequence where callbacks
could still be scheduled during cleanup that would then have a dangling
pointer to the now-freed steam struct.
This also puts work canceling for rumble and mode switch in
steam_unregister, as that shouldn't persist while the client hdev is open.

HID: steam: Refactor registration
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: steam: Refactor registration
This refactors and simplifies the registration/unregistration flow. Since
we now only perform registration when the client isn't opened anymore, the
logic for handling that can be removed, and the rest of the function
streamlined.
We also remove the previous assumption that we have a serial number to show
we're registered, replacing it with a single purpose boolean.
In a previous refactor the code for unregistering a battery if later
registration steps failed was accidentally left out. As a result, a
lingering power_supply object could get left over after the steam object
was torn down. This is also fixed here.

sched_ext: Build the cid tables privately and publish them with RCU
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Build the cid tables privately and publish them with RCU
The cid tables are visible to the cid kfuncs while being modified: the
first enable publishes the global pointers before filling them,
ops.init_cids() overrides rewrite them in place, and re-enables rebuild
them in place. A racing TRACING or SYSCALL program can read unfilled
entries, including uninitialized memory in the kmalloc'd tables, or torn
topo updates.
Tie the tables' lifetimes to the root sched instead: each root enable
builds a fresh set privately and publishes the per-table __rcu globals once
the layout is final, and root disable unpublishes and RCU-frees the set. A
non-NULL global is now always a fully built table which stays valid for the
reader's RCU read section, and lookups stay two loads. Kfuncs treat NULL as
no-mapping, also after the scheduler exits instead of reporting the stale
last mapping.
The cid kfuncs are available whether the root scheduler is cid-form or
cpu-form, the latter to allow gradual migration to cids. Every root
therefore builds and publishes a default mapping.
Every reader must either be gated on scheduler liveness or NULL-check
inside an RCU read section. Fix the two kfuncs that were neither:
scx_bpf_this_cid() read the table with no RCU or preemption protection and
scx_bpf_task_cid() relied on KF_RCU, which doesn't put a sleepable program
in an RCU read section. The hotplug callbacks are instead serialized by
retiring the tables inside the cpus_read_lock() section that clears
scx_root.
v2: Document why every root builds the tables (desc + cid.c comment).

ext4: don't enable large folios on encrypted inodes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't enable large folios on encrypted inodes
Commit 709f0f1f1bf5 ("ext4: add checks for large folio
incompatibilities when BS > PS") disables large folios at mount time
if the "encrypt" feature is set. However, enabling that feature on a
mounted filesystem circumvents that check, and writing encrypted data
results in a crash:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028

Fix this by disabling large folios on encrypted inodes, as is
already done for inodes that use data journaling.
This affects all kernels between v6.19 and v7.2, but it is not needed
in v7.3, where the code was significantly refactored.

ASoC: qcom: lpass-cpu: use DAI table index for playback constraints
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: qcom: lpass-cpu: use DAI table index for playback constraints
The DAI ID is a hardware port ID and is not necessarily the index of
the corresponding entry in variant->dai_driver.
When configuring a DAI with LPAIF_I2SCTL_MODE_QUAD01, the probe code
currently uses dai_id to index variant->dai_driver. This is incorrect
for platforms where DAI IDs are sparse. For example, the IPQ806x MI2S
DAI has ID 4 while it is the only entry in the DAI driver table. If
that DAI is configured for QUAD01 and probe reaches this branch, the
code writes beyond that single entry via dai_driver[4] instead of
updating the DAI being processed.
Use the loop index i when updating the current DAI's playback channel
constraints, while retaining dai_id for indexing the hardware-port
specific playback SD-line mode array.
This fixes the incorrect DAI table access for platforms where the DAI
ID does not match its position in the driver table.

x86/mm: Drop unnecessary PMD page copy when freeing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm: Drop unnecessary PMD page copy when freeing
On a box with a discrete GPU, lockdep reports a possible deadlock as
soon as kswapd shrinks the TTM page pool. The immediate cause is an
x86 commit that added an mmap_read_lock() to kernel page protection
munging code.
The huge vmap code holds the same lock over a GFP_KERNEL allocation,
which is a no-no now that reclaim can take it. That allocation is in a
page table *free* path and ends up being for dubious purposes[1].
Basically, it tries to avoid hardware setting Accessed=1 in page table
entries that are unreachable by the hardware, a non-issue.
Remove the PMD copy. Detach the original PMD page at the PUD, flush
the mid-level caches, and free the PTE tables straight from the
detached PMD page. With no allocation left, the locking issue is gone.

The cycle is built from three edges:

frees, while holding pool_shrink_rwsem:
ttm_pool_shrink()

-> set_pages_wb()
-> change_page_attr_set_clr() [ init_mm mmap read lock ]

rust: irq: pass RegistrationInner as cookie to request_irq
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rust: irq: pass RegistrationInner as cookie to request_irq
With commit ba268514ea14 ("rust: devres: fix race condition due to
nesting"), Devres::new() returns Result<Self> by value instead of
initializing in-place via PinInit. Because request_irq() is called
inside Devres::new(), registration.inner is still uninitialized when the
IRQ is enabled, so accessing registration.inner.device() in the IRQ
callback can read uninitialized memory.
Fix this by storing the Device and handler pointer in RegistrationInner
and passing RegistrationInner as the IRQ cookie after its fields are
initialized.
This is not needed in mainline because commit 98c63ce4d760 ("rust: irq:
make Registration compatible with lifetime-bound drivers") removed
Devres from irq::Registration and moved request_irq() after all fields
are initialized.

perf/core: Check kernel access when kernel callchains are requested
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Check kernel access when kernel callchains are requested
perf_event_open() currently gates perf_allow_kernel() only on
!attr.exclude_kernel.
However, users can still request kernel callchain collection with
attr.exclude_callchain_kernel == 0 even when attr.exclude_kernel == 1.
That still requires kernel profiling privilege, but the existing check
does not enforce it.
Update the permission check to call perf_allow_kernel() when either
kernel sampling is requested or kernel callchains are requested.
This keeps permission checks aligned with requested data and prevents
unprivileged use of kernel callchain capture.

hold time to 120ms in resume also mitigates it. See Link for more
details.
Reducing the hold time to 120ms for the USB3 roothub is in itself a valid
change and optimization, as the current 200ms is excessive: a root hub
has no upstream suspended hub whose wake propagation needs to be
accounted for, but still need some time for USB3 link training to
complete.
Keep the 200ms hold for external hubs that commit 8f5b7e2bec1c
("usb: hub: fix detection of high tier USB3 devices behind suspended
hubs") is intended for.

EDAC/altera: Fix use-after-free in error paths
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/altera: Fix use-after-free in error paths
In both altr_edac_a10_device_add() and altr_portb_setup(), the error path
freed the dci structure before releasing the devres group. Since the managed
single and double bit IRQ handlers use altdev(dci->pvt_info) as their data, an
IRQ firing between freeing dci and unregistering the IRQs could dereference
the freed memory.
Release the devres group first so the managed IRQs are unregistered
before the dci structure is freed.

KVM: s390: Fix IRQ injection with SIGP Stop and Store Status
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: Fix IRQ injection with SIGP Stop and Store Status
When __inject_sigp_stop() is called for a Stop and Store Status
operation, if the vCPU is running, the interrupt is marked as pending
and the status is stored by the thread performing the KVM_RUN IOCTL.
If the vCPU is already stopped, the status is stored immediately.
Storing the status means writing into userspace, which might fault, and
__inject_sigp_stop() is called from do_inject_vcpu() which in turn is
always called holding a spinlock, which is obviously an issue.
Fix this by returning -EWOULDBLOCK from __inject_sigp_stop(), and
adding a bool flag to indicate whether a store status is needed. The
callers of do_inject_vcpu() are modified to pass the pointer to the
bool flag; whenever a Store Status operation is needed, the callers can
now perform it outside the spinlock.
Opportunistically refactor kvm_s390_set_irq_state() to use
scoped_guard() and __free().

mtd: spinand: fix NULL pointer dereference with no ECC engine
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: spinand: fix NULL pointer dereference with no ECC engine
When "nand-no-ecc-engine" is set in DT, nanddev_get_ecc_engine() takes
the NAND_ECC_ENGINE_TYPE_NONE path and returns success while leaving
nand->ecc.engine NULL. The SPI-NAND code nevertheless dereferences it
unconditionally to test for a pipelined engine, so probing such a
device oopses immediately.
Rather than open-coding the test three times, add a
nand_ecc_is_pipelined() helper to the NAND core that folds the NULL
check into the integration comparison, and use it everywhere. Future
callers then cannot reintroduce the problem.

macsec: initialize SecY before registering the netdevice
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
macsec: initialize SecY before registering the netdevice
Creating a MACsec device with MAC offload over an LRO-capable lower
device triggers a warning in rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb() when IPv4
forwarding is enabled by default.
register_netdevice() invokes inetdev_init(), which disables LRO and emits
a NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE notification. This reaches macsec_fill_info() before
macsec_add_dev() initializes the SecY. key_len is still zero, so
macsec_fill_info() returns -EMSGSIZE and trips the WARN_ON in
rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb(), even though the skb has enough space.
Even without the warning, notifications during registration can report
uninitialized SecY attributes, including the SCI. This ordering has existed
since the driver was introduced.
Initialize the SecY and apply the new-link attributes before registration.
Move MAC address inheritance into macsec_newlink() so the SCI can also be
initialized before registration-time notifications report it. Move the
per-CPU statistics and metadata destination allocation into ndo_init(),
and release partial allocations on failure.

KVM: arm64: Derive GUEST_HAS_SVE from the SVE feature bit at EL2
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Derive GUEST_HAS_SVE from the SVE feature bit at EL2
pkvm_init_features_from_host() takes KVM_ARCH_FLAG_GUEST_HAS_SVE and
KVM_ARM_VCPU_SVE from the host separately, but pkvm_vcpu_init_sve()
tests the bit while vcpu_has_sve() reads the flag. A host that sets the
flag without the bit gets a vCPU with a NULL sve_state that the world
switch loads the guest's SVE state from.
Derive the flag from the bit, and drop the protected path's copy of the
host's flag, which is dead code since protected VMs are not allowed SVE.

KVM: arm64: nv: Fix life cycle of the nested_mmus array
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: nv: Fix life cycle of the nested_mmus array
The nested_mmus array holds the shadow page tables that are used when
a guest is running a nested context. These structures are allocated on
VCPU_INIT for whole guest, which implies that they may have to be
relocated as the array grows.
Should a VCPU_INIT occur whilst a vcpu is actively running an L2 and
that the allocation requires relocation, that vcpu will still be
running with a pointer to the previous structure, which will have been
freed.
Fix this by turning the array of structures to an array of pointers,
which is now allocated at VM creation, sized to the absolute maximum
that KVM can handle.
In turn, each VCPU_INIT contributes S2_MMU_PER_VCPU to the pool. No
reallocation is ever performed, and the life cycle of each object is
much clearer:
- the nested_mmus array is allocated in kvm_init_nested(), and freed
in kvm_arch_destroy_vm()
- s2_mmu structures are allocated in kvm_vcpu_init_nested(), and freed
on kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all()
Finally, the freeing of vcpu->arch.vncr_array is made consistent
rather than being done on some failure paths, but not others.
