[PATCH v2] powerpc: Add reloc_offset() to font bitmap pointer used for bootx_printf()

by Finn Thain

Since Linux v6.7, booting using BootX on an Old World PowerMac produces an early crash. Stan Johnson writes, "the symptoms are that the screen goes blank and the backlight stays on, and the system freezes (Linux doesn't boot)." Further testing revealed that the failure can be avoided by disabling CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT. Bisection revealed that the regression was caused by a change to the font bitmap pointer that's used when btext_init() begins painting characters on the display, early in the boot process. Christophe Leroy explains, "before kernel text is relocated to its final location ... data is addressed with an offset which is added to the Global Offset Table (GOT) entries at the start of bootx_init() by function reloc_got2(). But the pointers that are located inside a structure are not referenced in the GOT and are therefore not updated by reloc_got2(). It is therefore needed to apply the offset manually by using PTRRELOC() macro."

[PATCH] slimbus: ngd: Fix reference count leak in qcom_slim_ngd_notify_slaves

by Miaoqian Lin

The function qcom_slim_ngd_notify_slaves() calls of_slim_get_device() which internally uses device_find_child() to obtain a device reference. According to the device_find_child() documentation, the caller must drop the reference with put_device() after use.

[PATCH v2] powerpc, mm: Fix mprotect on book3s 32-bit

by Dave Vasilevsky

On 32-bit book3s with hash-MMUs, tlb_flush() was a no-op. This was unnoticed because all uses until recently were for unmaps, and thus handled by __tlb_remove_tlb_entry(). After commit 4a18419f71cd ("mm/mprotect: use mmu_gather") in kernel 5.19, tlb_gather_mmu() started being used for mprotect as well. This caused mprotect to simply not work on these machines: int *ptr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); *ptr = 1; // force HPTE to be created mprotect(ptr, 4096, PROT_READ); *ptr = 2; // should segfault, but succeeds Fixed by making tlb_flush() actually flush TLB pages. This finally agrees with the behaviour of boot3s64's tlb_flush().

[PATCH] mm, swap: fix potential UAF issue for VMA readahead

by Kairui Song

From: Kairui Song <kasong(a)tencent.com> Since commit 78524b05f1a3 ("mm, swap: avoid redundant swap device pinning"), the common helper for allocating and preparing a folio in the swap cache layer no longer tries to get a swap device reference internally, because all callers of __read_swap_cache_async are already holding a swap entry reference. The repeated swap device pinning isn't needed on the same swap device. Caller of VMA readahead is also holding a reference to the target entry's swap device, but VMA readahead walks the page table, so it might encounter swap entries from other devices, and call __read_swap_cache_async on another device without holding a reference to it. So it is possible to cause a UAF when swapoff of device A raced with swapin on device B, and VMA readahead tries to read swap entries from device A. It's not easy to trigger, but in theory, it could cause real issues. Make VMA readahead try to get the device reference first if the swap device is a different one from the target entry.

[PATCH net v1 1/1] net: dsa: microchip: lan937x: Fix RGMII delay tuning

by Oleksij Rempel

Correct RGMII delay application logic in lan937x_set_tune_adj(). The function was missing `data16 &= ~PORT_TUNE_ADJ` before setting the new delay value. This caused the new value to be bitwise-OR'd with the existing PORT_TUNE_ADJ field instead of replacing it. For example, when setting the RGMII 2 TX delay on port 4, the intended TUNE_ADJUST value of 0 (RGMII_2_TX_DELAY_2NS) was incorrectly OR'd with the default 0x1B (from register value 0xDA3), leaving the delay at the wrong setting. This patch adds the missing mask to clear the field, ensuring the correct delay value is written. Physical measurements on the RGMII TX lines confirm the fix, showing the delay changing from ~1ns (before change) to ~2ns. While testing on i.MX 8MP showed this was within the platform's timing tolerance, it did not match the intended hardware-characterized value.

[PATCH v2] intel_th: Fix error handling in intel_th_output_open

by Ma Ke

intel_th_output_open() calls bus_find_device_by_devt() which internally increments the device reference count via get_device(), but this reference is not properly released in several error paths. When device driver is unavailable, file operations cannot be obtained, or the driver's open method fails, the function returns without calling put_device(), leading to a permanent device reference count leak. This prevents the device from being properly released and could cause resource exhaustion over time. Found by code review.

[PATCH v2 0/2] Enable 1GHz OPP am335x-bonegreen-eco

by Kory Maincent (TI.com)

The vdd_mpu regulator maximum voltage was previously limited to 1.2985V, which prevented the CPU from reaching the 1GHz operating point. This limitation was put in place because voltage changes were not working correctly, causing the board to stall when attempting higher frequencies. Increase the maximum voltage to 1.3515V to allow the full 1GHz OPP to be used. Add a TPS65219 PMIC driver fixes that properly implement the LOCK register handling, to make voltage transitions work reliably. Changes in v2: - Setup a custom regmap_bus only for the TPS65214 instead of checking the chip_id every time reg_write is called. - Add the am335x-bonegreen-eco devicetree change in the same patch series.
