[merged mm-nonmm-stable] init-handle-bootloader-identifier-in-kernel-parameters.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: init: handle bootloader identifier in kernel parameters has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was init-handle-bootloader-identifier-in-kernel-parameters.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai(a)loongson.cn> Subject: init: handle bootloader identifier in kernel parameters Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 18:13:43 +0800 BootLoaders (Grub, LILO, etc) may pass an identifier such as "BOOT_IMAGE= /boot/vmlinuz-x.y.z" to kernel parameters. But these identifiers are not recognized by the kernel itself so will be passed to userspace. However user space init program also don't recognize it. KEXEC/KDUMP (kexec-tools) may also pass an identifier such as "kexec" on some architectures. We cannot change BootLoader's behavior, because this behavior exists for many years, and there are already user space programs search BOOT_IMAGE= in /proc/cmdline to obtain the kernel image locations: https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-ab-recovery/blob/master/util.go (search getBootOptions) https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-ab-recovery/blob/master/main.go (search getKernelReleaseWithBootOption) So the the best way is handle (ignore) it by the kernel itself, which can avoid such boot warnings (if we use something like init=/bin/bash, bootloader identifier can even cause a crash): Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,1)/vmlinuz-6.x root=/dev/sda3 ro console=tty Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,1)/vmlinuz-6.x", will be passed to user space.

Qualcomm WIFI-6 <IPQ5018>

by Alan Ye

Hi The IPQ50xx chip integrates only a 2x2 2.4GHz Wi-Fi module. Through the high-performance NSS core and PCIe expansion and integration the application range of the IPQ50xx chip ranges from Wi-Fi mesh node to Enterprise AP. OEM manufacturers can think in a unified way when doing circuit design and PCB layout, and the same packaging can really save designers a lot of trouble. .# Part Number Manufacturer Date Code Quantity Unit Price Lead Time Condition (PCS) USD/Each one 1 IPQ-5018-0-MRQFN232-TR-01-0 QUALCOMM 2022+ 30000pcs US$3.50/pcs 7days New & original - stock 2 QCN-6102-0-DRQFN116-TR-01-1 QUALCOMM 2022+ 30000pcs US$2.50/pcs 3 QCN-9024-0-MSP234-TR-01-0 QUALCOMM 2022+ 5000pcs US$3.50/pcs 4 QCN-6112-0-DRQFN116-TR-01-0 QUALCOMM 2023+ 15000pcs US$2.70/pcs 5 QCA-8337-AL3C-R QUALCOMM 2023+ 20000pcs US$1.30/pcs The above are our company's current inventory, all of which are genuine and original packaging.

[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] nilfs2-fix-cfi-failure-when-accessing-sys-fs-nilfs2-features.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: nilfs2: fix CFI failure when accessing /sys/fs/nilfs2/features/* has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was nilfs2-fix-cfi-failure-when-accessing-sys-fs-nilfs2-features.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan(a)kernel.org> Subject: nilfs2: fix CFI failure when accessing /sys/fs/nilfs2/features/* Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2025 23:43:34 +0900 When accessing one of the files under /sys/fs/nilfs2/features when CONFIG_CFI_CLANG is enabled, there is a CFI violation: CFI failure at kobj_attr_show+0x59/0x80 (target: nilfs_feature_revision_show+0x0/0x30; expected type: 0xfc392c4d) ... Call Trace: <TASK> sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x2a6/0x390 ? __cfi_kobj_attr_show+0x10/0x10 kernfs_seq_show+0x104/0x15b seq_read_iter+0x580/0xe2b ... When the kobject of the kset for /sys/fs/nilfs2 is initialized, its ktype is set to kset_ktype, which has a ->sysfs_ops of kobj_sysfs_ops. When nilfs_feature_attr_group is added to that kobject via sysfs_create_group(), the kernfs_ops of each files is sysfs_file_kfops_rw, which will call sysfs_kf_seq_show() when ->seq_show() is called. sysfs_kf_seq_show() in turn calls kobj_attr_show() through ->sysfs_ops->show(). kobj_attr_show() casts the provided attribute out to a 'struct kobj_attribute' via container_of() and calls ->show(), resulting in the CFI violation since neither nilfs_feature_revision_show() nor nilfs_feature_README_show() match the prototype of ->show() in 'struct kobj_attribute'. Resolve the CFI violation by adjusting the second parameter in nilfs_feature_{revision,README}_show() from 'struct attribute' to 'struct kobj_attribute' to match the expected prototype.
