[PATCH v1] arm64: dts: freescale: imx8mm-verdin: Keep LDO5 always on

by Francesco Dolcini

From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini(a)toradex.com> LDO5 regulator is used to power the i.MX8MM NVCC_SD2 I/O supply, that is used for the SD2 card interface and also for some GPIOs. When the SD card interface is not enabled the regulator subsystem could turn off this supply, since it is not used anywhere else, however this will also remove the power to some other GPIOs, for example one I/O that is used to power the ethernet phy, leading to a non working ethernet interface.

[PATCH] crypto: s390/sha - Fix uninitialized variable in SHA-1 and SHA-2

by Eric Biggers

Commit 88c02b3f79a6 ("s390/sha3: Support sha3 performance enhancements") added the field s390_sha_ctx::first_message_part and made it be used by s390_sha_update_blocks(). At the time, s390_sha_update_blocks() was used by all the s390 SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3 algorithms. However, only the initialization functions for SHA-3 were updated, leaving SHA-1 and SHA-2 using first_message_part uninitialized. This could cause e.g. CPACF_KIMD_SHA_512 | CPACF_KIMD_NIP to be used instead of just CPACF_KIMD_NIP. It's unclear why this didn't cause a problem earlier; this bug was found only when UBSAN detected the uninitialized boolean. Perhaps the CPU ignores CPACF_KIMD_NIP for SHA-1 and SHA-2. Regardless, let's fix this. For now just initialize to false, i.e. don't try to "optimize" the SHA state initialization. Note: in 6.16, we need to patch SHA-1, SHA-384, and SHA-512. In 6.15 and earlier, we'll also need to patch SHA-224 and SHA-256, as they hadn't yet been librarified (which incidentally fixed this bug).

[PATCH 5/5] lib/crypto: x86/poly1305: Fix performance regression on short messages

by Eric Biggers

Restore the len >= 288 condition on using the AVX implementation, which was incidentally removed by commit 318c53ae02f2 ("crypto: x86/poly1305 - Add block-only interface"). This check took into account the overhead in key power computation, kernel-mode "FPU", and tail handling associated with the AVX code. Indeed, restoring this check slightly improves performance for len < 256 as measured using poly1305_kunit on an "AMD Ryzen AI 9 365" (Zen 5) CPU: Length Before After ====== ========== ========== 1 30 MB/s 36 MB/s 16 516 MB/s 598 MB/s 64 1700 MB/s 1882 MB/s 127 2265 MB/s 2651 MB/s 128 2457 MB/s 2827 MB/s 200 2702 MB/s 3238 MB/s 256 3841 MB/s 3768 MB/s 511 4580 MB/s 4585 MB/s 512 5430 MB/s 5398 MB/s 1024 7268 MB/s 7305 MB/s 3173 8999 MB/s 8948 MB/s 4096 9942 MB/s 9921 MB/s 16384 10557 MB/s 10545 MB/s While the optimal threshold for this CPU might be slightly lower than 288 (see the len == 256 case), other CPUs would need to be tested too, and these sorts of benchmarks can underestimate the true cost of kernel-mode "FPU". Therefore, for now just restore the 288 threshold.

[PATCH 4/5] lib/crypto: x86/poly1305: Fix register corruption in no-SIMD contexts

by Eric Biggers

Restore the SIMD usability check and base conversion that were removed by commit 318c53ae02f2 ("crypto: x86/poly1305 - Add block-only interface"). This safety check is cheap and is well worth eliminating a footgun. While the Poly1305 functions *should* be called only where SIMD registers are usable, if they are anyway, they should just do the right thing instead of corrupting random tasks' registers and/or computing incorrect MACs. Fixing this is also needed for poly1305_kunit to pass. Just use irq_fpu_usable() instead of the original crypto_simd_usable(), since poly1305_kunit won't rely on crypto_simd_disabled_for_test.

[REGRESSION] - Multiple userspace implementations of battery estimate broken after "ACPI: battery: negate current when discharging"

by Matthew Schwartz

Hello, I installed kernel 6.15.4 to find that my battery estimate on my handheld gaming device was completely inaccurate, instead giving negative values and an unknown estimated battery life in multiple places. After bisecting, I landed on "ACPI: battery: negate current when discharging” as the bad commit. This commit breaks not one but several userspace implementations of battery monitoring: Steam and MangoHud. Perhaps it breaks more, but those are the two I have noticed so far. Thanks, Matthew Schwartz

by Andrew Morton

The patch titled Subject: samples/damon/wsse: fix boot time enable handling has been added to the -mm mm-new branch. Its filename is samples-damon-wsse-fix-boot-time-enable-handling.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patche… This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take notice and to finish up reviews. Please do not hesitate to respond to review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally fixup patches in mm-new. Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: SeongJae Park <sj(a)kernel.org> Subject: samples/damon/wsse: fix boot time enable handling Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2025 12:32:02 -0700 Patch series "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules". From manual code review, I found below bugs in DAMON modules. DAMON sample modules crash if those are enabled at boot time, via kernel command line. A similar issue was found and fixed on DAMON non-sample modules in the past, but we didn't check that for sample modules. DAMON non-sample modules are not setting 'enabled' parameters accordingly when real enabling is failed. Honggyu found and fixed[1] this type of bugs in DAMON sample modules, and my inspection was motivated by the great work. Kudos to Honggyu. Finally, DAMON_RECLIAM is mistakenly losing scheme internal status due to misuse of damon_commit_ctx(). DAMON_LRU_SORT has a similar misuse, but fortunately it is not causing real status loss. Fix the bugs. Since these are similar patterns of bugs that were found in the past, it would be better to add tests or refactor the code, in future. This patch (of 6): If 'enable' parameter of the 'wsse' DAMON sample module is set at boot time via the kernel command line, memory allocation is tried before the slab is initialized. As a result kernel NULL pointer dereference BUG can happen. Fix it by checking the initialization status.
