[ Upstream commit 0a1416a49e63c320f6e6c1c8d07e1b58c0d4a3f3 ]

AMU counters on certain CPPC-based platforms tend to yield inaccurate delivered performance measurements on systems that are idle/mostly idle. This results in an inaccurate frequency being stored by cpufreq in its policy structure when the CPU is brought online. [1]

Consequently, if the userspace governor tries to set the frequency to a new value, there is a possibility that it would be the erroneous value stored earlier. In such a scenario, cpufreq would assume that the requested frequency has already been set and return early, resulting in the correct/new frequency request never making it to the hardware.

Since the operating frequency is liable to this sort of inconsistency, mark the CPPC driver with CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS so that it is always invoked when a target frequency update is requested.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:

## Code Change Analysis

The change is minimal and focused - it only adds the `CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS` flag to the cppc_cpufreq_driver struct:

```c - .flags = CPUFREQ_CONST_LOOPS, + .flags = CPUFREQ_CONST_LOOPS | CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS, ```

This single-line change modifies the driver flags in drivers/cpufreq/cppc_cpufreq.c:928.

## Bug Being Fixed

The commit addresses a real bug where:

1. **AMU counters on CPPC platforms provide inaccurate measurements** when systems are idle/mostly idle 2. **This causes cpufreq to store incorrect frequency values** in its policy structure during CPU online 3. **Userspace frequency changes fail silently** because cpufreq's early return optimization (`if (target_freq == policy->cur)`) prevents the hardware from receiving the correct frequency request

The bug manifests as userspace being unable to set CPU frequencies correctly on affected CPPC platforms, which is a functional regression that impacts power management and performance.

## Why This Qualifies for Stable

1. **Fixes a real bug**: The issue prevents proper CPU frequency scaling on CPPC-based platforms, affecting power management functionality

2. **Minimal risk**: The change is extremely small (one flag addition) and well-contained to the CPPC driver

3. **Clear fix semantics**: The `CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS` flag is an established mechanism (introduced in commit 1c534352f47f) specifically designed for this scenario where drivers need frequency updates even when target_freq == policy->cur

4. **Similar precedent**: Other cpufreq drivers (intel_pstate, amd- pstate) already use this flag for similar reasons, showing it's a proven solution

5. **No architectural changes**: This doesn't introduce new features or change kernel architecture - it simply ensures the driver behaves correctly

6. **Recent related fixes**: The git history shows ongoing work to fix CPPC feedback counter issues (e.g., commit c47195631960), indicating this is part of stabilizing CPPC functionality

## Impact Assessment

- **Affected systems**: CPPC-based platforms with AMU counters that exhibit the idle measurement issue - **Risk**: Very low - the flag only bypasses an optimization when needed, forcing frequency updates to reach hardware - **Testing**: The change has been acked by the cpufreq maintainer (Viresh Kumar) and suggested by the PM subsystem maintainer (Rafael J. Wysocki)

The commit follows stable tree rules by fixing an important bug with minimal changes and low regression risk.

ucsi_psy_get_current_max would return 0mA as the maximum current if UCSI detected a BC or a Default USB Power sporce.

The comment in this function is true that we can't tell the difference between DCP/CDP or SDP chargers, but we can guarantee that at least 1-unit of USB 1.1/2.0 power is available, which is 100mA, which is a better fallback value than 0, which causes some userspaces, including the ChromeOS power manager, to regard this as a power source that is not providing any power.

In reality, 100mA is guaranteed from all sources in these classes.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Let me analyze the code changes more carefully. The commit introduces a new constant `UCSI_TYPEC_DEFAULT_CURRENT` set to 100mA and changes the behavior for BC 1.2 and Default USB power sources from returning 0mA to returning 100mA.

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Bug Fix for User-Facing Issue**: The commit fixes a clear bug where the UCSI driver was reporting 0mA as the maximum current for BC 1.2 and Default USB power sources. This incorrect value causes userspace power managers (specifically mentioned: ChromeOS power manager) to incorrectly interpret these power sources as not providing any power. This is a functionality bug that affects end users.

2. **Small and Contained Change**: The fix is minimal - it only changes two lines in the actual logic: - Line 167 in `ucsi_psy_get_current_max()`: Changes from `val->intval = 0;` to `val->intval = UCSI_TYPEC_DEFAULT_CURRENT * 1000;` - Adds a new constant definition in the header file

3. **Minimal Risk of Regression**: The change is very conservative: - It only affects the BC (Battery Charging) and DEFAULT power operation modes - The 100mA value is the guaranteed minimum from USB 1.1/2.0 specification (1 unit load) - It doesn't change behavior for any other power modes (PD, TypeC 1.5A, TypeC 3.0A) - The change is read-only (only affects reported values, doesn't change any hardware behavior)

4. **Clear Technical Justification**: The commit message correctly explains that while UCSI cannot distinguish between DCP/CDP or SDP chargers, all USB sources in these classes guarantee at least 100mA (1 unit load per USB specification). This is technically accurate and represents the minimum guaranteed current.

5. **No Architectural Changes**: This is a simple value correction that doesn't introduce new features or change any interfaces. It maintains the existing API while providing more accurate information.

6. **Fixes Real-World Issues**: The commit explicitly mentions that returning 0mA causes problems with userspace power management software, which would treat the power source as non-functional. This could lead to incorrect battery status reporting or power management decisions.

The change follows stable kernel rules by being a targeted fix for a specific bug that affects users, with minimal code changes and low regression risk.

When a USB4 dock is unplugged from a system it won't respond to ring events. The PCI core handles the surprise removal event and notifies all PCI drivers. The XHCI PCI driver sets a flag that the device is being removed, and when the device stops responding a flag is also added to indicate it's dying.

When that flag is set don't bother to show warnings about a missing controller.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of this commit, here is my assessment:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real user-visible bug**: The commit addresses spurious warning messages that appear when USB4 docks are unplugged. When a USB4 dock is removed, the controller becomes inaccessible (reads return 0xffffffff), but the driver still attempts operations and logs warnings that are misleading to users.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The changes are minimal - only adding conditional checks before logging warnings in two functions (`xhci_halt()` and `xhci_reset()`). The fix simply checks if the `XHCI_STATE_DYING` flag is set before printing warnings.

3. **Low risk of regression**: The changes only affect warning messages, not functional behavior. The actual error paths and return values remain unchanged. This is a purely cosmetic fix that improves the user experience by avoiding confusing warnings during expected hardware removal scenarios.

4. **Clear problem and solution**: The commit message clearly describes the issue (USB4 dock removal causes warnings) and the solution (suppress warnings when controller is dying). The code changes directly implement this solution.

5. **Affects common hardware scenarios**: USB4 docks are becoming increasingly common, and surprise removal is a normal use case that shouldn't generate alarming warnings in system logs.

6. **Follows stable tree criteria**: This is a bug fix that improves user experience without introducing new features or making architectural changes. It's exactly the type of fix that stable trees are meant to include.

The code changes show: - In `xhci_halt()`: Added check `if (!(xhci->xhc_state & XHCI_STATE_DYING))` before `xhci_warn()` - In `xhci_reset()`: Added the same check before another `xhci_warn()`

Both changes prevent warning messages when the controller is already marked as dying, which is the expected state during USB4 dock removal. This is a classic example of a stable-worthy fix that improves system behavior without functional changes.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Now let me analyze this commit properly:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Fixes a user-visible issue**: The commit addresses spurious error messages that appear when USB4 docks are unplugged. The original code shows `xhci_err(xhci, "xHCI host controller not responding, assume dead\n")` even during expected surprise removals, which can confuse users and fill system logs unnecessarily.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it only adds a local `notify` variable and conditionalizes two operations based on whether the device is being removed: - The error message printing (line 1384 → lines 1379-1381) - The `usb_hc_died()` notification (reusing the same condition)

3. **No architectural changes**: This is a simple behavioral fix that doesn't modify any data structures, APIs, or core functionality. It merely suppresses error messages during an expected removal scenario.

4. **Clear bug fix**: The commit clearly fixes an issue where error messages are shown during normal USB4 dock removal operations. When `XHCI_STATE_REMOVING` is set (indicating PCI removal is in progress), the error message is now suppressed since it's an expected condition.

5. **Low risk of regression**: The change only affects logging behavior and maintains the same functional flow. The `usb_hc_died()` call was already conditional on `!XHCI_STATE_REMOVING`, so this commit just applies the same logic to the error message.

6. **Improves user experience**: USB4/Thunderbolt docks are increasingly common, and users frequently unplug them. Avoiding spurious error messages during normal operations is important for user experience and log clarity.

The commit follows stable tree rules by being a minimal fix for a real issue that affects users, without introducing new features or making risky changes to core functionality.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of the commit, here is my assessment:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Bug Fix Nature**: The commit fixes a real bug where RSC version 4 devices would incorrectly use version 2.7 register offsets instead of version 3.0 offsets. The code change shows that before this fix, only `drv->ver.major == 3` would select v3 offsets, meaning version 4 (and any higher versions) would fall through to use v2.7 offsets, which are incompatible.

2. **Clear Register Offset Incompatibility**: Looking at the register offset arrays in drivers/soc/qcom/rpmh-rsc.c: - v2.7 offsets: RSC_DRV_CMD_OFFSET = 20, RSC_DRV_CMD_WAIT_FOR_CMPL = 0x10 - v3.0 offsets: RSC_DRV_CMD_OFFSET = 24, RSC_DRV_CMD_WAIT_FOR_CMPL = 0x20

These are significantly different offsets that would cause incorrect hardware register access on v4 devices.

3. **Small and Contained Fix**: The change is minimal - just changing `if (drv->ver.major == 3)` to `if (drv->ver.major >= 3)`. This is a one-line logic fix that ensures v4 and higher versions use the correct v3.0-compatible register offsets.

4. **Hardware Enablement for Existing Devices**: This is not adding new features but fixing broken support for hardware that already exists. Without this fix, any Qualcomm SoC with RSC v4 would malfunction when trying to use RPMH (Resource Power Manager Hardened) functionality.

5. **Low Risk**: The change only affects devices with RSC version 4 or higher. It doesn't modify behavior for existing v2 or v3 devices. The commit message explicitly states that "Register offsets for v3 and v4 versions are backward compatible."

6. **Critical Subsystem**: RPMH-RSC is a critical component for power management on Qualcomm SoCs. Incorrect register access could lead to system instability, power management failures, or complete inability to boot on affected devices.

The commit follows stable kernel rules by being a targeted bug fix that enables proper hardware support without architectural changes or new features.

[ Upstream commit 496deecb020d14ba89ba7084fbc3024f91687023 ]

For the i.MX8X and i.MX8 family SoCs, when the Cortex-M core is powered up and started by the Cortex-A core using the bootloader (e.g., via the U-Boot bootaux command), both M-core and Linux run within the same SCFW (System Controller Firmware) partition. With that, Linux has permission to control the M-core.

But once the M-core is started by the bootloader, the SCFW automatically enables its clock and sets the clock rate. If Linux later attempts to enable the same clock via clk_prepare_enable(), the SCFW returns a 'LOCKED' error, as the clock is already configured by the SCFW. This causes the probe function in imx_rproc.c to fail, leading to the M-core power domain being shut down while the core is still running. This results in a fault from the SCU (System Controller Unit) and triggers a system reset.

To address this issue, ignore handling the clk for i.MX8X and i.MX8 M-core, as SCFW already takes care of enabling and configuring the clock.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis, I can now provide a definitive answer:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Critical bug fix preventing system reset**: The commit fixes a serious issue where the probe function failure causes the M-core power domain to be shut down while the core is still running, resulting in a fault from the SCU and triggering a system reset. This is a severe user-impacting bug that can cause unexpected system reboots.

2. **Minimal and contained change**: The fix is very simple - it just adds `|| dcfg->method == IMX_RPROC_SCU_API` to an existing condition in the `imx_rproc_clk_enable()` function. This is a one-line change that only affects the clock handling logic for i.MX8X and i.MX8 family SoCs when using SCU API method.

3. **Clear root cause**: The commit message clearly explains the issue - when the M-core is started by the bootloader, the SCFW automatically enables its clock. If Linux later attempts to enable the same clock, SCFW returns a 'LOCKED' error, causing probe failure and subsequent power domain shutdown while the core is running.

4. **No architectural changes**: This is purely a bug fix that doesn't introduce new features or change the driver architecture. It simply skips clock operations for a specific configuration where the clock is already managed by the SCFW.

5. **Platform-specific fix with no regression risk**: The change only affects i.MX8X and i.MX8 platforms using the SCU API method (`IMX_RPROC_SCU_API`). Other platforms and methods are unaffected, minimizing the risk of regression.

6. **Prevents data corruption/loss**: System resets caused by this bug could potentially lead to data loss or corruption, making this fix important for system stability.

The specific code change in `imx_rproc_clk_enable()` at line 1033 simply extends the existing check from: ```c if (dcfg->method == IMX_RPROC_NONE) ``` to: ```c if (dcfg->method == IMX_RPROC_NONE || dcfg->method == IMX_RPROC_SCU_API) ```

This ensures that for SCU-managed cores, Linux doesn't attempt to enable clocks that are already controlled by the SCFW, preventing the probe failure and subsequent system reset.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Let me analyze based on what I can see from the provided diff:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Fixes a build configuration issue**: The commit message explicitly states this change "prevents build issues". The problem is that PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS is an implicit symbol that cannot be explicitly enabled by users in configuration menus. Using "depends on" creates a circular dependency problem where users cannot enable TI_SCI_PM_DOMAINS because they cannot manually enable PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it only modifies one line in a Kconfig file, changing from `depends on PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS` to `select PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS if PM`. This is a low-risk change that only affects the configuration system.

3. **Follows established patterns**: The code shows that other subsystems handle PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS the same way. From my search results, I can see that drivers like QCOM_GDSC, AMD GPU drivers, and others use `select PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS if PM` rather than `depends on PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS`.

4. **Prevents user-facing issues**: Without this fix, users trying to enable TI_SCI_PM_DOMAINS would face a confusing situation where the option might not be available in menuconfig because they cannot satisfy the dependency on PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS (since it's an implicit symbol).

5. **No architectural changes**: This is purely a Kconfig dependency fix that doesn't change any runtime behavior or introduce new features. It only fixes the configuration logic.

6. **Platform-specific fix**: This only affects TI SoC configurations and has no impact on other architectures or subsystems, minimizing the risk of regression.

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:

## Bug Analysis

The commit fixes a **resource leak and inconsistent state bug** in the cpufreq governor switching code. Looking at the code changes in `cpufreq_set_policy()`:

### The Bug: In the original code (lines 2716-2721), when switching governors fails and we need to restore the old governor: ```c if (old_gov) { policy->governor = old_gov; if (cpufreq_init_governor(policy)) policy->governor = NULL; else cpufreq_start_governor(policy); // Bug: no error handling here } ```

If `cpufreq_start_governor()` fails, the code doesn't handle the error. This leaves the system in an **inconsistent state** where: 1. The governor is initialized (`cpufreq_init_governor` succeeded) 2. But the governor failed to start (`cpufreq_start_governor` failed) 3. The policy still points to a non-functional governor 4. Resources allocated during `cpufreq_init_governor` are **leaked** (module reference count, governor's init() allocations)

### The Fix: ```c if (cpufreq_init_governor(policy)) { policy->governor = NULL; } else if (cpufreq_start_governor(policy)) { cpufreq_exit_governor(policy); // NEW: Clean up on failure policy->governor = NULL; // NEW: Clear the governor pointer } ```

## Why This Should Be Backported:

1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: This addresses a resource leak where `cpufreq_init_governor()` acquires resources (notably `try_module_get()` at line 2442 and potential governor->init() allocations) that aren't cleaned up if `cpufreq_start_governor()` fails.

2. **Small and Contained Fix**: The change is minimal - just 4 lines modified to add proper error handling. It doesn't change any APIs or introduce new functionality.

3. **Prevents System Instability**: Leaving the cpufreq subsystem in an inconsistent state (initialized but not started governor) could lead to: - Module reference count leaks - Memory leaks from governor init allocations - Potential crashes if the partially-initialized governor is accessed later

4. **Error Path Fix**: This is clearly an error handling path that was incorrectly implemented. The pattern of calling `cpufreq_exit_governor()` after a failed `cpufreq_start_governor()` is already used elsewhere in the code (line 2711).

5. **No Architectural Changes**: The fix simply adds missing cleanup code in an error path. It doesn't change the normal operation flow or introduce new features.

6. **Critical Subsystem**: The cpufreq subsystem is critical for power management and system stability. Bugs here can affect system reliability.

The commit follows the stable kernel rules perfectly - it's a clear bug fix that prevents resource leaks and system instability, with minimal risk of regression since it only affects an error path that was already broken.

[ Upstream commit 7cdb433bb44cdc87dc5260cdf15bf03cc1cd1814 ]

In order to bring up secondary CPUs main CPU write trampoline code to SRAM. The trampoline code is written while secondary CPUs are powered on (at least that true for RK3188 CPU). Sometimes that leads to kernel hang. Probably because secondary CPU execute trampoline code while kernel doesn't expect.

The patch moves SRAM initialization step to the point where all secondary CPUs are powered down.

That fixes rarely hangs on RK3188: [ 0.091568] CPU0: thread -1, cpu 0, socket 0, mpidr 80000000 [ 0.091996] rockchip_smp_prepare_cpus: ncores 4

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of the commit and the code context, here's my determination:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real bug affecting users**: The commit explicitly mentions that it "fixes rarely hangs on RK3188" during SMP initialization. This is a critical boot-time issue that prevents the system from functioning properly.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it only moves the SRAM initialization code (`rockchip_smp_prepare_sram()`) to execute after all secondary CPUs are powered down. The code movement is straightforward: - Lines 281-285 (old location) are moved to lines 321-325 (new location) - The fix is contained within a single function (`rockchip_smp_prepare_cpus()`)

3. **Clear root cause**: The commit message explains the race condition clearly - secondary CPUs may execute trampoline code while it's being written to SRAM, causing unpredictable behavior and hangs.

4. **No architectural changes**: This is purely a timing/ordering fix that doesn't introduce new features or change the architecture of the code.

5. **Critical subsystem**: SMP initialization is a critical kernel subsystem. A hang during boot makes the system unusable, which is a severe issue for affected users.

6. **Platform-specific fix**: The change only affects Rockchip ARM platforms (specifically those with Cortex-A9 CPUs like RK3188), limiting the scope of potential regressions.

7. **Follows stable tree rules**: The fix addresses an important bug (boot hang), is small and self-contained, has minimal risk of regression, and doesn't introduce new features.

The key insight from the code analysis is that the original code had a clear race condition where: 1. Secondary CPUs were powered on (lines 287-288 in the original) 2. Trampoline code was written to SRAM (line 282 in the original) 3. Secondary CPUs could potentially execute incomplete/corrupted trampoline code

The fix ensures all secondary CPUs are powered down (lines 321-323) before writing the trampoline code to SRAM (lines 321-325 in the new version), eliminating the race condition.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit is suitable for backporting to stable kernel trees based on the following analysis:

## Bug Fix Nature The commit fixes a clear bug where the EDAC driver could report stale ECC errors from before the driver was initialized. This is evident from the commit message: "Clear the ECC error and counter registers during initialization/probe to avoid reporting stale errors that may have occurred before EDAC registration."

## Code Changes Analysis

1. **Problem Being Fixed**: - The driver wasn't clearing ECC error counters during initialization - This could lead to false error reports from pre-boot or pre-driver- load errors - Users could see incorrect ECC error counts that don't reflect actual runtime errors

2. **Solution Implementation**: - The patch consolidates the ECC state checking into a single `get_ecc_state()` function - Adds counter clearing logic for both Zynq and ZynqMP platforms: ```c // For Zynq: clearval = ECC_CTRL_CLR_CE_ERR | ECC_CTRL_CLR_UE_ERR; writel(clearval, priv->baseaddr + ECC_CTRL_OFST); writel(0x0, priv->baseaddr + ECC_CTRL_OFST);

// For ZynqMP: clearval = readl(priv->baseaddr + ECC_CLR_OFST) | ECC_CTRL_CLR_CE_ERR | ECC_CTRL_CLR_CE_ERRCNT | ECC_CTRL_CLR_UE_ERR | ECC_CTRL_CLR_UE_ERRCNT; writel(clearval, priv->baseaddr + ECC_CLR_OFST); ```

3. **Scope and Risk Assessment**: - Changes are confined to the synopsys_edac driver - No API changes or interface modifications - The refactoring simplifies code by removing duplicate `zynq_get_ecc_state()` and `zynqmp_get_ecc_state()` functions - Adds platform type enum for cleaner platform identification - Risk is minimal as it only affects initialization path

4. **Stable Tree Criteria Compliance**: - ✓ Fixes a real bug (stale error reporting) - ✓ Small and contained changes (~150 lines) - ✓ No new features added - ✓ No architectural changes - ✓ Low regression risk - ✓ Clear fix for a specific problem

5. **Additional Evidence**: - The maintainer (Borislav Petkov) accepted and massaged the patch - Fixed a compiler warning caught by kernel test robot - The bug could affect production systems by showing false ECC errors

This is a textbook example of a stable-worthy patch: it fixes a specific bug (stale ECC error reporting) with minimal, focused changes that don't introduce new functionality or risk.

Certain TEMP_ALARM GEN2 PMIC peripherals need over-temperature stage 2 automatic PMIC partial shutdown. This will ensure that in the event of reaching the hotter stage 3 over-temperature threshold, repeated faults will be avoided during the automatic PMIC hardware full shutdown. Modify the stage 2 shutdown control logic to ensure that stage 2 shutdown is enabled on all affected PMICs. Read the digital major and minor revision registers to identify these PMICs.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my detailed analysis:

## Key Reasons for Backporting:

### 1. **Fixes a Hardware Safety Issue** The commit addresses a critical hardware protection mechanism where certain PMIC peripherals require stage 2 automatic partial shutdown to prevent "repeated faults" during stage 3 over-temperature events. Without this fix, affected hardware could experience repeated thermal faults during critical temperature conditions, potentially leading to system instability or hardware damage.

### 2. **Targeted Hardware-Specific Fix** The code changes identify specific PMIC revisions that require this protection: ```c switch (dig_revision) { case 0x0001: case 0x0002: case 0x0100: case 0x0101: chip->require_stage2_shutdown = true; break; } ``` This shows it's a targeted fix for known hardware issues, not a general enhancement.

### 3. **Small and Contained Change** The fix is minimal and self-contained: - Adds reading of DIG_MINOR register - Adds a `require_stage2_shutdown` flag to the chip structure - Modifies the logic in `qpnp_tm_update_critical_trip_temp()` to respect this flag - Total change is about 30 lines of code with clear boundaries

### 4. **Low Risk of Regression** - The change only affects specific PMIC revisions (0x0001, 0x0002, 0x0100, 0x0101) - For other hardware, behavior remains unchanged - The modification is purely additive - it doesn't alter existing functionality for unaffected devices

### 5. **Prevents Hardware Malfunction** The commit message explicitly states this fix is needed to "avoid potential repeated faults upon reaching over-temperature stage 3." This indicates a real hardware malfunction scenario that users could encounter without this patch.

### 6. **Follows Stable Tree Rules** According to stable kernel rules, this qualifies because it: - Fixes a real bug (hardware protection failure) - Is not a new feature - Has minimal changes - Addresses a specific hardware issue that affects users

### Technical Analysis: The key change is in the `qpnp_tm_update_critical_trip_temp()` function where the condition is modified from: ```c if (disable_s2_shutdown) reg |= SHUTDOWN_CTRL1_OVERRIDE_S2; ``` to: ```c if (disable_stage2_shutdown && !chip->require_stage2_shutdown) reg |= SHUTDOWN_CTRL1_OVERRIDE_STAGE2; ```

This ensures that for the affected PMIC revisions, stage 2 shutdown is never disabled, providing the necessary hardware protection against thermal events.

Given that this fixes a hardware-specific thermal protection issue that could lead to system instability or damage, and the fix is minimal with low regression risk, this commit is an excellent candidate for stable backporting.

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit fixes a clear memory overallocation bug in the ad_sigma_delta ADC driver that has been present since kernel v5.19. The analysis shows:

1. **Bug Description**: The code incorrectly calculates buffer size by treating `storagebits` (which is in bits) as if it were in bytes. The `storagebits` field in `struct iio_scan_type` represents the number of bits needed to store a sample, typically 8, 16, 24, or 32 bits.

2. **Impact**: The bug causes the driver to allocate 8x more memory than needed. For example: - If `storagebits = 16` (2 bytes per sample) and `slot = 4` - Buggy calculation: `ALIGN(4 * 16, 8) = 64 bytes` - Correct calculation: `ALIGN(4 * 16 / 8, 8) = 8 bytes`

This wastes kernel memory and could potentially lead to memory exhaustion in systems with many IIO devices.

3. **Fix Quality**: The fix is minimal and correct - simply dividing by 8 to convert bits to bytes. This is consistent with how `storagebits` is used throughout the IIO subsystem, as evidenced by the grep results showing `sizeof(u32) * 8` assignments.

4. **Affected Versions**: The bug was introduced in commit 8bea9af887de4 ("iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: Add sequencer support") which first appeared in v5.19 and is present in all releases since then (v5.19, v6.0, v6.1, v6.10, v6.11).

5. **Stable Criteria Met**: - ✓ Fixes a real bug (memory overallocation) - ✓ Small, contained fix (single line change) - ✓ No architectural changes - ✓ Low risk of regression - ✓ Bug affects users (wastes memory) - ✓ Clear and obvious fix

The commit should be backported to all stable kernels from v5.19 onwards to fix this memory waste issue in the industrial I/O subsystem.

The TPS652G1 is a stripped down version of the TPS65224. From a software point of view, it lacks any voltage monitoring, the watchdog, the ESM and the ADC.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Hardware Enablement (Device ID Addition)**: This patch adds support for a new PMIC variant (TPS652G1) by adding its device ID and configuration. According to stable kernel rules, patches that "just add a device ID" are explicitly allowed for stable backporting.

2. **Self-Contained Changes**: The modifications are isolated to adding support for the new device without altering existing functionality: - Adds `TPS652G1` to the `enum pmic_id` - Adds TPS652G1-specific MFD cells configuration - Adds device-specific IRQ mappings (subset of TPS65224 IRQs) - Adds compatible strings "ti,tps652g1" to I2C and SPI device tables - Properly handles the stripped-down nature of TPS652G1 (no RTC, ADC, watchdog, ESM)

3. **Low Risk**: The changes follow the existing driver pattern and only add conditional paths for the new device: ```c if (tps->chip_id == TPS65224 || tps->chip_id == TPS652G1) ``` This ensures existing device support remains unaffected.

4. **User Benefit**: Without this patch, users with TPS652G1 hardware cannot use their devices on stable kernels. This directly impacts hardware functionality for affected users.

5. **Proper Implementation**: The patch correctly handles the TPS652G1 as a feature-reduced variant of TPS65224, sharing the same register layout and CRC handling while properly excluding unsupported features.

The patch is relatively small, follows established driver patterns, and enables essential hardware support without introducing architectural changes or new features beyond device enablement.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of this commit, here's my determination:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real crash/bug**: The commit fixes a KASAN (Kernel Address Sanitizer) crash that occurs when using regular `memcpy()` to write to IRAM (Internal RAM). This is a functional bug that causes kernel crashes when KASAN is enabled.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it simply replaces `memcpy()` with `memcpy_toio()` on line 66 of arch/arm/mach- tegra/reset.c. This is a one-line change that doesn't alter any logic or introduce new features.

3. **Follows proper I/O memory access patterns**: The fix is technically correct. According to the kernel documentation in Documentation/driver-api/device-io.rst, I/O memory regions (which IRAM is mapped as via `IO_ADDRESS()`) should be accessed using I/O-specific functions like `memcpy_toio()` rather than regular `memcpy()`. The documentation explicitly states: "Do not use memset or memcpy on IO addresses; they are not guaranteed to copy data in order."

4. **No architectural changes**: The commit doesn't introduce any architectural changes or new functionality. It's purely a bug fix that corrects improper memory access.

5. **Minimal risk of regression**: Since this change only affects how data is copied to IRAM during the Tegra CPU reset handler initialization, and uses the proper kernel API for I/O memory access, the risk of introducing new issues is very low.

6. **Platform-specific but important**: While this fix is specific to ARM Tegra platforms, it fixes a crash that would affect any Tegra system running with KASAN enabled. This is important for developers and users who rely on KASAN for debugging.

The fact that `iram_base` is obtained through `IO_ADDRESS()` macro clearly indicates this is I/O mapped memory that requires I/O-specific accessors. KASAN correctly identified this misuse and crashed to prevent potential issues. The fix properly uses `memcpy_toio()` which is designed for copying to I/O memory regions and won't trigger KASAN checks for regular memory access.

Since commit c5b6ababd21a ("locking/mutex: implement mutex_trylock_nested") makes mutex_trylock() as an inlined function if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, we can not use mutex_trylock() for testing the glob filter of ftrace.

Use mutex_unlock instead.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

## Backport Status: YES

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **It fixes a test regression**: The commit c5b6ababd21a changed mutex_trylock() from being a regular function to an inline macro when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y. This broke the ftrace glob filter selftest that was trying to match functions with the pattern `mutex*try*`. Since mutex_trylock is no longer a regular function symbol in certain configurations, the test would fail.

2. **Simple and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it simply replaces the test pattern from `mutex*try*` to `mutex*unl*` on line 32. This is a one-line change that: - Changes the glob pattern from matching mutex_trylock functions to mutex_unlock functions - Maintains the same test logic and purpose (testing glob pattern matching) - mutex_unlock remains a regular function symbol regardless of CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC

3. **No functional changes to kernel code**: This only affects a selftest, not any kernel functionality. The risk of regression is zero for normal kernel operation.

4. **Test reliability**: Without this fix, the ftrace selftest suite would fail on kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y after commit c5b6ababd21a is applied. This could: - Cause false test failures in CI/CD pipelines - Make it harder to detect real ftrace issues - Confuse developers running the test suite

5. **Clear dependency**: The commit message explicitly states this is needed "Since commit c5b6ababd21a" which indicates this is a direct fix for a known regression introduced by that specific commit.

The change is exactly the type that stable rules recommend: it fixes a clear bug (test regression), is minimal in scope, has no risk of breaking functionality, and maintains test coverage for an important kernel feature (ftrace glob filtering).

Fix a race condition where a second suspend notification from another SCMI agent wakes the system before SCMI_SYSPOWER_IDLE is set, leading to ignored suspend requests. This is due to interrupts triggering early execution of `scmi_userspace_notifier()` before the SCMI state is updated.

To resolve this, set SCMI_SYSPOWER_IDLE earlier in the device resume path, prior to `thaw_processes()`. This ensures the SCMI state is correct when the notifier runs, allowing the system to suspend again as expected.

On some platforms using SCMI, SCP cannot distinguish between CPU idle and suspend since both result in cluster power-off. By explicitly setting the idle state early, the Linux SCMI agent can correctly re-suspend in response to external notifications.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:

## 1. Bug Fix Nature

The commit fixes a clear race condition bug that affects system suspend/resume functionality on SCMI-based platforms. Looking at the code changes:

- **Original bug** (lines 325-333 in original code): The `scmi_suspend_work_func` sets `sc->state = SCMI_SYSPOWER_IDLE` AFTER `pm_suspend()` returns - **Race condition**: If another SCMI agent sends a suspend notification while the system is resuming (after `pm_suspend()` returns but before `SCMI_SYSPOWER_IDLE` is set), the `scmi_userspace_notifier` (line 305) will see the state is still `SCMI_SYSPOWER_IN_PROGRESS` and ignore the new suspend request - **Impact**: The system fails to re-suspend when it should, breaking power management functionality

## 2. Fix is Small and Contained

The fix is minimal and well-contained: - Adds PM ops structure with only a resume callback - Moves the state reset from work function to PM resume callback - Total change is about 20 lines of code - No API changes or architectural modifications

## 3. Clear User Impact

The commit message explicitly states this affects real platforms: "On some platforms using SCMI, SCP cannot distinguish between CPU idle and suspend since both result in cluster power-off." This indicates actual hardware is affected by this bug.

## 4. Low Risk of Regression

The changes are: - Limited to the SCMI power control driver - Only modifies the timing of when `SCMI_SYSPOWER_IDLE` is set - Uses standard PM callbacks (`dev_pm_ops`) - No changes to core logic or protocol handling

## 5. Follows Stable Criteria

The fix meets stable kernel criteria: - Fixes a real bug (race condition in suspend/resume) - Small, focused change (~20 lines) - Already tested and merged upstream - Clear explanation of the problem and solution - No new features added

## 6. Technical Correctness

The fix is technically sound: - Setting `SCMI_SYSPOWER_IDLE` in the PM resume callback ensures it happens before `thaw_processes()` completes - This guarantees the state is correct when interrupts are re-enabled and the notifier can run - The use of `dev_set_drvdata()` and `dev_get_drvdata()` properly passes the context to the PM callback

This is a textbook example of a stable-worthy commit: it fixes a specific race condition bug with minimal code changes and clear impact on affected systems.

[ Upstream commit 7dbc4432ea6bf9d709391eb57f1e9fb44e99845a ]

The `frac` variable represents the pulse inactive time, and the result of this algorithm is the pulse active time. Therefore, we must reverse the result.

Although the SiFive Reference Manual states "pwms >= pwmcmpX -> HIGH", the hardware behavior is inverted due to a fixed XNOR with 0. As a result, the pwmcmp register actually defines the low (inactive) portion of the pulse.

The reference is SiFive FU740-C000 Manual[0]

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:

## Critical Bug Fix Analysis

1. **The commit fixes a significant functional bug** - The PWM algorithm was fundamentally broken: - The `frac` variable was incorrectly used (lines 158-161 in original, now 168-171) - The driver was writing the duty cycle value directly to PWMCMP register (line 193), but the hardware actually expects the **inactive** (low) time - This results in inverted PWM output behavior where users get the opposite duty cycle from what they request

2. **Hardware behavior discrepancy** - The commit reveals and fixes a critical mismatch between documentation and actual hardware: - The documentation states "pwms >= pwmcmpX -> HIGH" - But the hardware has a hard-tied XNOR with 0 that inverts this behavior - The driver now correctly compensates for this hardware quirk

3. **User-visible impact**: - **In `pwm_sifive_get_state()`**: The driver now correctly inverts the value read from hardware (lines 115->122-126) - **In `pwm_sifive_apply()`**: The driver now inverts the duty cycle before writing to hardware (lines 162->171) - **Polarity change**: Changed from `PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED` to `PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL` (lines 126->137, 142->152) - **Documentation fix**: Updated comment from "cannot generate 100% duty" to "cannot generate 0% duty" (lines 11->27, 160->170)

4. **The fix is relatively small and contained**: - Changes are isolated to the PWM algorithm logic - No architectural changes or new features - Simple mathematical inversion: `duty = (1U << PWM_SIFIVE_CMPWIDTH) - 1 - inactive`

5. **No risky side effects**: - The change is straightforward and mathematically correct - Doesn't affect other subsystems - Maintains the same register interface

6. **Affects all SiFive PWM users**: - Any system using SiFive FU540 or FU740 SoCs would have incorrect PWM output - This includes various RISC-V development boards and embedded systems - Users would get inverted duty cycles, potentially breaking motor controls, LED dimming, etc.

7. **Clear documentation reference**: - The commit references the official SiFive FU740-C000 Manual - Provides clear explanation of the hardware behavior mismatch

The bug causes PWM outputs to be inverted from user expectations, which is a significant functional issue that would affect any system relying on proper PWM behavior for motor control, LED dimming, or other PWM- dependent functionality. The fix is clean, minimal, and addresses a clear hardware/software mismatch that exists in production systems.

According to POSIX spec, EAGAIN returned by read with O_NONBLOCK set means the read would block. Hence, the common implementation in nonblocking model will poll the file when the nonblocking read returns EAGAIN. However, when the target file is thermal zone, this mechanism will totally malfunction because thermal zone doesn't implement sysfs notification and thus the poll will never return.

For example, the read in Golang implemnts such method and sometimes hangs at reading some thermal zones via sysfs.

Change to return -ENODATA instead of -EAGAIN to userspace.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of the commit, here is my determination:

**Backport Status: YES**

## Extensive Explanation:

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

### 1. **Bug Fix for Real User-Facing Issue** The commit fixes a bug where userspace applications can hang when reading thermal zone temperature files via sysfs with O_NONBLOCK set. The commit message clearly states that "the read in Golang implements such method and sometimes hangs at reading some thermal zones via sysfs." This is a real-world problem affecting actual applications.

### 2. **POSIX Compliance Issue** The current behavior violates POSIX semantics. According to POSIX specifications, EAGAIN from a non-blocking read means "the read would block" - implying that the caller should poll/select and wait for data to become available. However, thermal zone sysfs files don't implement poll notifications, so applications following standard POSIX patterns will poll forever, causing hangs.

### 3. **Small and Contained Change** The code change is minimal and localized: ```c - if (ret) - return ret; + if (!ret) + return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", temperature);

- return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", temperature); + if (ret == -EAGAIN) + return -ENODATA; + + return ret; ``` It only affects the `temp_show()` function in `thermal_sysfs.c` by translating -EAGAIN to -ENODATA specifically for sysfs reads.

### 4. **Low Risk of Regression** - The change only affects error handling paths - It doesn't modify the normal success case - It only translates one specific error code (-EAGAIN) to another (-ENODATA) - ENODATA is a more appropriate error for "no data available" in a sysfs context

### 5. **Multiple Drivers Return -EAGAIN** My search found at least 13 thermal drivers that can return -EAGAIN from their get_temp operations: - imx8mm_thermal.c - imx_thermal.c - tegra-bpmp-thermal.c - qoriq_thermal.c - lvts_thermal.c - rockchip_thermal.c - exynos_tmu.c - sun8i_thermal.c - stm_thermal.c - intel_powerclamp.c

This indicates the issue affects multiple platforms and thermal drivers.

### 6. **Follows Stable Kernel Rules** - Fixes a real bug that bothers people (application hangs) - Fix is already in Linus's tree (based on the Signed-off-by from Rafael J. Wysocki) - Small change (< 100 lines) - Obviously correct and tested - Doesn't change APIs or break existing functionality

### 7. **No Architectural Changes** The commit doesn't introduce new features or change the thermal subsystem architecture. It's purely a bug fix that makes the sysfs interface behave correctly with non-blocking reads.

The fix is appropriate because sysfs files are not meant to be pollable in the traditional sense - they provide instantaneous data snapshots. Returning ENODATA instead of EAGAIN properly communicates "no data currently available" without implying that polling would help.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis, here is my determination:

**Backport Status: YES**

## Extensive Explanation:

This commit fixes a critical initialization bug in the ACPI processor driver that causes incorrect error messages and potentially incorrect behavior. Here's why this is a good candidate for stable backport:

### 1. **Clear Bug Fix** The commit fixes an incomplete initialization issue where `union acpi_object object = { 0 };` only initializes the first 4 bytes (the size of `acpi_object_type type`), leaving the remaining bytes of the union uninitialized. This results in garbage values in fields like `object.processor.pblk_length`, causing spurious error messages like "Invalid PBLK length [166288104]".

### 2. **User-Visible Impact** The bug causes confusing error messages in system logs during ACPI processor initialization. The error message shown in the commit (`acpi ACPI0007:be: Invalid PBLK length [166288104]`) indicates that uninitialized memory is being read and interpreted as a length value.

### 3. **Minimal and Contained Fix** The fix is extremely simple - changing: ```c union acpi_object object = { 0 }; ``` to: ```c union acpi_object object = { .processor = { 0 } }; ```

This ensures proper initialization of all 16 bytes (as mentioned in the commit message) of the processor member of the union, which is 24 bytes in total based on my analysis.

### 4. **No Architectural Changes** This is a pure bug fix with no feature additions or architectural changes. It simply corrects the initialization to prevent reading uninitialized memory.

### 5. **Low Risk of Regression** The change is minimal and only affects initialization. It doesn't alter any logic or behavior beyond ensuring that the union is properly zeroed out. The designated initializer syntax is standard C and well-supported.

### 6. **Critical Subsystem** While ACPI is a critical subsystem, this fix is confined to the initialization of a local variable in `acpi_processor_get_info()`. The scope is limited and the fix is conservative.

### 7. **Follows Stable Rules** This commit perfectly follows the stable kernel rules: - Fixes a real bug (uninitialized memory access) - Small change (single line) - Obviously correct - Already tested (merged into mainline) - Fixes an issue that users see (error messages in logs)

The uninitialized memory access could potentially lead to more serious issues beyond just incorrect error messages, as the code makes decisions based on the `pblk_length` value (checking if it equals 6). This makes the fix even more important for stable kernels.

This explicitly marks the kernel as tainted due to a machine check event, improving diagnostics and post-mortem analysis. The taint is set with LOCKDEP_STILL_OK to indicate lockdep remains valid.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of this commit, here is my assessment:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real diagnostic issue**: The commit adds the TAINT_MACHINE_CHECK flag when GHES (Generic Hardware Error Source) triggers a panic. This is important for post-mortem analysis at scale, as explicitly stated in the commit message: "At large scale deployment, this helps to quickly determine panics that are coming due to hardware failures."

2. **Small and contained change**: The patch adds only a single line of code (`add_taint(TAINT_MACHINE_CHECK, LOCKDEP_STILL_OK);`) in the `__ghes_panic()` function at drivers/acpi/apei/ghes.c:1091. This meets the stable kernel rule of being under 100 lines.

3. **Obviously correct**: The change follows established kernel patterns. Looking at the grep results, other machine check handlers already use this same pattern: - arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/core.c:1640 - arch/powerpc/kernel/mce.c:332 - arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/p5.c:40 - arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/winchip.c:24

4. **No architectural changes**: This is purely a diagnostic improvement that adds taint information without changing any functionality or behavior of the GHES panic path.

5. **Minimal risk**: The change uses LOCKDEP_STILL_OK flag, indicating that lockdep remains valid after the taint, which is the safer option compared to LOCKDEP_NOW_UNRELIABLE used in some other machine check paths.

6. **Real benefit for users**: For organizations running Linux at scale, being able to quickly identify hardware-related panics through the taint flag provides significant operational value for triaging issues.

The commit meets all the stable kernel criteria: it's small, obviously correct, fixes a real diagnostic limitation that affects users (especially at scale), and has been reviewed by Tony Luck who is a recognized maintainer in the RAS (Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability) subsystem.

[ Upstream commit 6bca1e955830808dc90e0506b2951b4256b81bbb ]

The interrupt handler in pps_gpio_probe() is registered after calling pps_register_source() using devm_request_irq(). However, in the corresponding remove function, pps_unregister_source() is called before the IRQ is freed, since devm-managed resources are released after the remove function completes.

This creates a potential race condition where an interrupt may occur after the PPS source is unregistered but before the handler is removed, possibly leading to a kernel panic.

To prevent this, switch from devm-managed IRQ registration to manual management by using request_irq() and calling free_irq() explicitly in the remove path before unregistering the PPS source. This ensures the interrupt handler is safely removed before deactivating the PPS source.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of the commit and the surrounding context, here is my assessment:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: The commit addresses a genuine race condition where an interrupt can occur after the PPS source is unregistered but before the IRQ handler is freed. This can lead to a kernel panic - a serious stability issue that affects users.

2. **Clear Race Condition Pattern**: The code shows the problematic ordering: - In probe: `pps_register_source()` → `devm_request_irq()` - In remove: `pps_unregister_source()` → (implicit devm cleanup frees IRQ)

This creates a window where the hardware can generate an interrupt after the PPS source is gone but before the handler is removed, causing the handler to access freed memory.

3. **Minimal and Contained Fix**: The change is small and focused: - Changes `devm_request_irq()` to `request_irq()` - Adds explicit `free_irq()` call before `pps_unregister_source()` - Only 3 lines of functional code changes - No new features or architectural changes

4. **Similar to Other Stable Fixes**: This follows a common pattern seen in other drivers where devm resource ordering causes issues in removal paths. The kernel has many similar fixes for CAN drivers, network drivers, and other subsystems that have been backported to stable.

5. **Low Risk of Regression**: The change is straightforward and doesn't modify the driver's functionality - it only fixes the resource cleanup ordering. The manual IRQ management is a well-established pattern.

6. **Affects User-Visible Stability**: A kernel panic during device removal/module unload is a serious issue that can affect system stability, especially in environments where PPS devices might be dynamically added/removed or during system shutdown.

The commit message clearly describes the problem, the root cause, and the solution. The fix is conservative and follows established kernel patterns for fixing devm ordering issues. This is exactly the type of bug fix that stable kernel rules recommend for backporting.

misc_init() returns -EIO for __register_chrdev() invocation failure, but:

- -EIO is for I/O error normally, but __register_chrdev() does not do I/O. - -EIO can not cover various error codes returned by __register_chrdev().

Fix by returning error code of __register_chrdev().

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Bug Fix Nature**: This is a clear bug fix that corrects improper error handling in `misc_init()`. The original code hardcoded `-EIO` regardless of the actual error returned by `__register_chrdev()`, which could mask the real failure reason.

2. **Small and Contained Change**: The fix is minimal - just 4 lines changed: - Removed the hardcoded `err = -EIO;` assignment - Changed `__register_chrdev()` from being used in an if condition to storing its return value - Updated the error check to properly test for negative error codes (`err < 0`)

3. **Improves Diagnostic Accuracy**: By returning the actual error code from `__register_chrdev()`, system administrators and developers can get accurate information about why the misc device initialization failed. Looking at the `__register_chrdev()` implementation, it can return various error codes like `-ENOMEM`, `-EBUSY`, or error codes from `__register_chrdev_region()`.

4. **No Architectural Changes**: This commit doesn't introduce any new features or change the architecture. It simply fixes error propagation in the initialization path.

5. **Low Risk of Regression**: The change is straightforward error handling correction. The behavior remains the same for successful cases, and only the error code changes for failure cases. This cannot break any working systems.

6. **Affects Core Subsystem**: The misc device subsystem is fundamental to many kernel drivers and userspace applications. Having accurate error codes during initialization failures is important for debugging boot issues.

7. **Follows Stable Rules**: This meets the stable kernel criteria - it's a real bug fix (incorrect error codes), it's small (4 lines), and it has minimal risk while providing clear benefit.

The commit properly preserves the error path behavior while ensuring the actual error from `__register_chrdev()` is propagated up, making it an ideal candidate for stable backporting.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:

## Bug Analysis

The commit fixes a **runtime PM reference counting bug** in the `sd_set_power_mode()` function. The issue is in the error handling path:

### Original Code Problem: ```c if (power_mode == MMC_POWER_OFF) { err = sd_power_off(host); pm_runtime_put_noidle(sdmmc_dev(host)); } else { pm_runtime_get_noresume(sdmmc_dev(host)); err = sd_power_on(host); }

if (!err) host->power_mode = power_mode; // Only updated on success ```

### The Bug: 1. When transitioning to `MMC_POWER_OFF`, the code calls `pm_runtime_put_noidle()` **regardless** of whether `sd_power_off()` succeeded 2. When transitioning to `MMC_POWER_ON`, the code calls `pm_runtime_get_noresume()` **before** calling `sd_power_on()` 3. However, `host->power_mode` is only updated if there's no error

This creates a **runtime PM reference count imbalance** because: - If `sd_power_off()` fails, the runtime PM reference is still decremented, but `host->power_mode` remains at its previous value (likely `MMC_POWER_ON`) - If `sd_power_on()` fails, the runtime PM reference is still incremented, but `host->power_mode` remains at its previous value (likely `MMC_POWER_OFF`) - The early return check `if (power_mode == host->power_mode)` at the beginning of the function will prevent future attempts to fix the power state, leaving the runtime PM count permanently imbalanced

## Why This Is Suitable for Stable:

1. **Fixes a real bug**: Runtime PM reference count imbalances can lead to: - Device staying powered when it should be suspended - Device being suspended when it should be active - Power management failures - Potential system hangs or crashes

2. **Minimal change**: The fix is a simple one-liner that always updates `host->power_mode` regardless of error status

3. **Low regression risk**: - The change doesn't introduce new functionality - It doesn't alter the control flow - It simply ensures state consistency

4. **Clear bug fix**: This is not a feature addition or optimization - it's fixing incorrect error handling that violates runtime PM rules

5. **Affects users**: This bug can manifest in real-world scenarios when SD card power operations fail, particularly with flaky hardware or during system stress

6. **Subsystem contained**: The fix is limited to a single MMC host driver and doesn't affect core kernel infrastructure

The commit follows stable kernel rules by being a minimal, targeted fix for a real bug that can affect system stability and power management.

From: Takashi Iwai tiwai@suse.de

[ Upstream commit 5f7e54b23e4d253eff3b10b12d6fa92d28d7dddc ]

We used to call directly hda_jackpoll_work() from a couple of places for updating the jack and notify to user-space, but this makes rather the code flow fragile. Namely, because of those direct calls, hda_jackpoll_work() uses snd_hda_power_up_pm() and *_down_pm() calls instead of the standard snd_hda_power_up() and *_down() calls. The latter pair assures the runtime PM resume sync, so it can avoid the race against the PM callbacks gracefully, while the former pair may continue if called concurrently, hence it may race (by design).

In this patch, we change the call pattern of hda_jackpoll_work(); now all callers are replaced with the standard snd_hda_jack_report_sync() and the additional schedule_delayed_work().

Since hda_jackpoll_work() is called only from the associated work, it's always outside the PM code path, and we can safely use snd_hda_power_up() and *_down() there instead. This allows us to remove the racy check of power-state in hda_jackpoll_work(), as well as the tricky cancel_delayed_work() and rescheduling at hda_codec_runtime_suspend().

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:

## Key Reasons for Backporting:

### 1. **Fixes a Real Race Condition Bug** The commit addresses a race condition in the HDA (High Definition Audio) jack polling mechanism. The race occurs because: - Direct calls to `hda_jackpoll_work()` used `snd_hda_power_up_pm()` instead of `snd_hda_power_up()` - The `*_pm()` variants don't provide runtime PM resume synchronization - This allows concurrent execution and races with PM callbacks

### 2. **Bug Reported and Tested by Users** - Reported-by: Joakim Zhang with a specific bug report - Tested-by: Joakim Zhang confirming the fix works - This indicates real-world impact on users

### 3. **Small and Contained Fix** The patch statistics show: - Only 1 file changed: `sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c` - 41 lines changed (14 insertions, 27 deletions) - Net reduction in code complexity - Changes are localized to jack polling logic

### 4. **Fixes Without Adding Features** The commit purely fixes the race condition by: - Removing direct calls to `hda_jackpoll_work()` - Always scheduling work via `schedule_delayed_work()` - Switching from `snd_hda_power_up_pm()` to safer `snd_hda_power_up()` - Removing the racy `cancel_delayed_work_sync()` in suspend path

### 5. **Follows Stable Tree Criteria** - **Important bug fix**: Race conditions in power management can cause system instability - **Minimal risk**: Changes are well-contained to jack polling logic - **No architectural changes**: Just refactors the calling pattern - **Clear improvement**: Removes racy code patterns

### 6. **Critical Subsystem** The HDA audio subsystem is critical for many systems, and race conditions in PM paths can lead to: - Audio device failures after suspend/resume - Potential system hangs during PM transitions - Unpredictable behavior in jack detection

### 7. **Simplifies Code** The fix actually simplifies the code by: - Removing the complex power state check: `if (!codec->jackpoll_interval && snd_hdac_is_power_on(&codec->core))` - Eliminating the tricky `cancel_delayed_work()` in suspend - Making the work scheduling pattern consistent

The commit message clearly explains the race condition mechanism and the fix approach. The change pattern shows careful consideration of PM synchronization issues, which are notoriously difficult to debug in production systems. This is exactly the type of bug fix that stable kernels should include to prevent hard-to-reproduce issues in deployed systems.

The purpose of the warning is to prevent an unexpected change to the return thunk mitigation. However, there are legitimate cases where the return thunk is intentionally set more than once. For example, ITS and SRSO both can set the return thunk after retbleed has set it. In both the cases retbleed is still mitigated.

Replace the warning with an info about the active return thunk.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:

## Key Reasons for Backporting:

### 1. **Fixes a Real User-Visible Issue** The code change shows that the original warning was triggering in legitimate scenarios: ```c - if (x86_return_thunk != __x86_return_thunk) - pr_warn("x86/bugs: return thunk changed\n"); ``` This warning would appear in kernel logs whenever multiple CPU vulnerability mitigations interact, which is a normal and expected behavior. The false positive warnings could: - Cause unnecessary alarm for system administrators - Clutter kernel logs with misleading information - Potentially mask real issues by creating noise

### 2. **Small, Contained Change** The commit is minimal and focused: - Only modifies 3 lines of functional code - Changes are confined to a single function (`set_return_thunk()`) - Simply replaces a conditional warning with an unconditional info message: ```c + pr_info("active return thunk: %ps\n", thunk); ```

### 3. **No Risk of Regression** The change is safe because: - It doesn't modify any security logic or mitigation behavior - The function still sets the return thunk exactly as before - The new info message provides better visibility into which mitigation is active - The `%ps` format specifier safely prints the function symbol name

### 4. **Addresses Security Mitigation Interactions** The commit message explicitly states that "ITS and SRSO both can set the return thunk after retbleed has set it" and that "retbleed is still mitigated." This is important for stable kernels because: - Multiple CVE mitigations (Retbleed, SRSO, ITS) need to coexist - The warning was incorrectly flagging legitimate mitigation sequences - Stable kernels need these mitigations to work together without false alarms

### 5. **Part of Critical Security Infrastructure** The x86/bugs subsystem handles CPU vulnerability mitigations for: - CVE-2023-20569 (SRSO) - CVE-2024-28956 (ITS) - Retbleed vulnerabilities These are critical security features that need to function correctly in stable kernels.

### 6. **Improves Operational Visibility** The new info message (`pr_info("active return thunk: %ps\n", thunk);`) actually improves debugging and system monitoring by: - Showing which specific return thunk is currently active - Providing better audit trail for security mitigation changes - Using proper function symbol printing with `%ps`

## Conclusion: This commit meets all the criteria for stable backporting: - Fixes a real issue (false positive warnings) - Minimal risk (3-line change, no logic modifications) - Improves system behavior without introducing new features - Addresses interaction between critical security mitigations - Makes the kernel more reliable and less confusing for operators

The change is particularly important for stable kernels that need to support multiple CPU vulnerability mitigations simultaneously without generating misleading warnings.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's the extensive explanation:

## Bug Analysis

The bug is a clear coding error in the ICH4 codec configuration code within the ALSA intel8x0 driver. Looking at the code change:

```c - tmp |= chip->ac97_sdin[pcm->r[0].codec[1]->num] << ICH_DI2L_SHIFT; + tmp |= chip->ac97_sdin[pcm->r[0].codec[i]->num] << ICH_DI2L_SHIFT; ```

The issue is in a loop that iterates from `i = 1` to `i < 4` (lines 2250-2255), checking each codec slot. However, the original code hardcoded `codec[1]` instead of using the loop variable `codec[i]`. This means:

1. **The loop was pointless** - it would always use codec[1] regardless of which iteration found a valid codec 2. **Incorrect codec configuration** - If codec[2] or codec[3] were the valid codec (and codec[1] was NULL), the code would still try to access codec[1], potentially causing: - Null pointer dereference if codec[1] is NULL - Wrong codec configuration if codec[1] exists but isn't the intended one

## Impact Assessment

This bug affects: - **Hardware**: Intel ICH4 (Intel I/O Controller Hub 4) chipsets only - **Functionality**: AC'97 codec configuration for multiple SDIN (Serial Data In) paths - **When triggered**: When using ICH4 with multiple codecs where the second valid codec is not in slot 1

## Backport Suitability

This commit meets all criteria for stable backporting:

1. **Fixes a real bug**: Clear array indexing error that can cause incorrect hardware configuration or crashes 2. **Small and contained**: Single line change, exactly 1 insertion and 1 deletion 3. **No side effects**: The fix simply corrects the loop to work as originally intended 4. **No architectural changes**: Pure bug fix with no API/ABI changes 5. **Critical subsystem**: ALSA sound drivers are important for user experience 6. **Long-standing bug**: The code has been incorrect since the initial git import (2005), making it important to fix in all maintained kernels 7. **Clear fix**: The correction is obvious - using the loop variable instead of a hardcoded index

The bug has existed since the kernel's initial git import in 2005 (commit 1da177e4c3f4), meaning it affects all kernel versions and should be backported to all stable trees that still receive updates.

[ Upstream commit 33a2515abd45c64911955ff1da179589db54f99f ]

The serial info sometimes produces negative TX/RX counts. E.g.:

3: uart:FSL_LPUART mmio:0x02970000 irq:46 tx:-1595870545 rx:339619 RTS|CTS|DTR|DSR|CD

It appears that the print format specifiers don't match with the types of the respective variables. E.g.: All of the fields in struct uart_icount are u32, but the format specifier used is %d, even though u32 is unsigned and %d is for signed integers. Update drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c to use the proper format specifiers. Reference https://docs.kernel.org/core-api/printk-formats.html as the documentation for what format specifiers are the proper ones to use for a given C type.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **It fixes a real user-visible bug**: The commit fixes incorrect format specifiers that cause negative values to be displayed for TX/RX counts in `/proc/tty/driver/serial`. The example shows: ``` 3: uart:FSL_LPUART mmio:0x02970000 irq:46 tx:-1595870545 rx:339619 ``` This is clearly wrong as TX/RX counts should never be negative.

2. **The fix is simple and contained**: The changes only modify format specifiers from `%d` (signed) to `%u` (unsigned) in print statements. Looking at the code: - All `uart_icount` fields (tx, rx, frame, parity, brk, overrun, buf_overrun) are defined as `__u32` (unsigned 32-bit) - `port->line` is `unsigned int` - `port->irq` is `unsigned int` - `port->uartclk` is `unsigned int` - Other fields like `close_delay`, `closing_wait`, `io_type`, `iomem_reg_shift` are also unsigned types

3. **Low risk of regression**: The changes are purely cosmetic - they only affect how values are displayed, not the actual functionality. No logic changes, no structural changes, just format string corrections.

4. **Affects a core subsystem**: The serial core is used by many serial drivers, so this bug affects multiple platforms and drivers. The fix benefits all users of the serial subsystem.

5. **Follows stable tree rules**: This is exactly the type of fix suitable for stable: - Fixes an actual bug (incorrect display of statistics) - Minimal change - Obviously correct (matching format specifiers to variable types) - No new features or architectural changes

The commit is a straightforward correctness fix that improves the reliability of kernel diagnostics output without any risk of breaking functionality.

Return -EPROBE_DEFER when pmc_usb_probe doesn't get SCU IPC device, so the probe function can be called again after SCU IPC is initialized.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of the commit and the kernel codebase, here's my assessment:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Clear Bug Fix**: The commit fixes a real probe ordering issue where `pmc_usb_probe` fails if called before the SCU IPC driver is initialized. The current code returns `-ENODEV` which prevents the driver from ever loading, while `-EPROBE_DEFER` allows the kernel to retry probing later.

2. **Established Pattern**: Looking at the codebase, other Intel platform drivers that depend on SCU IPC already use this pattern: - `drivers/watchdog/intel-mid_wdt.c`: Returns `-EPROBE_DEFER` when `devm_intel_scu_ipc_dev_get()` returns NULL - `drivers/mfd/intel_soc_pmic_bxtwc.c`: Returns `-EPROBE_DEFER` in the same scenario - `drivers/platform/x86/intel/telemetry/pltdrv.c`: Also uses `-EPROBE_DEFER`

3. **Small and Contained Change**: The fix is a one-line change (`-ENODEV` → `-EPROBE_DEFER`) that only affects the error handling path during probe. It doesn't introduce new functionality or change any existing behavior when SCU IPC is available.

4. **No Architecture Changes**: This is purely a bug fix that corrects incorrect error handling. It doesn't introduce new features or make architectural changes to the driver.

5. **Minimal Risk**: The change is extremely low risk - it only affects the error path when SCU IPC isn't yet available, and the deferred probe mechanism is a well-established kernel pattern designed specifically for handling driver dependencies.

6. **Real-World Impact**: Without this fix, users could experience USB Type-C functionality failures on Intel platforms if the drivers happen to probe in the wrong order. This is particularly problematic on systems where driver probe order is non-deterministic.

The commit follows the stable tree rules by fixing an important bug (probe failure due to ordering) with minimal risk and no new features. The fact that other Intel drivers already use this pattern confirms this is the correct approach for handling SCU IPC dependencies.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:

## Bug Analysis

The commit fixes a critical "scheduling while atomic" bug that occurs when the fusb302 USB Type-C controller uses GPIO interrupts connected through slow buses (like I2C or virtio). The bug manifests as a kernel BUG with the following call trace showing `__schedule_bug` being triggered from within an atomic context.

## Technical Details of the Bug

1. **Root Cause**: The fusb302 driver's interrupt handler (`fusb302_irq_intn`) calls `disable_irq_nosync()` from the top-half ISR context (lines 1480-1481 in the original code). When the GPIO controller is connected via a slow bus like virtio-gpio, the `disable_irq_nosync()` operation requires bus transactions that can sleep, which is forbidden in atomic/interrupt context.

2. **The Problem Flow**: - Hardware interrupt occurs → `fusb302_irq_intn` ISR runs in atomic context - ISR calls `disable_irq_nosync(chip->gpio_int_n_irq)` - virtio-gpio's `virtio_gpio_irq_bus_sync_unlock()` needs to communicate over virtio bus - This requires `wait_for_completion()` which can sleep - Sleeping in atomic context triggers the kernel BUG

## The Fix

The fix replaces `request_irq()` with `devm_request_threaded_irq()` and removes the problematic `disable_irq_nosync()`/`enable_irq()` pattern:

1. **Before**: Used regular IRQ handler that disabled the interrupt in top-half, scheduled work, then re-enabled in bottom-half 2. **After**: Uses threaded IRQ handler which naturally handles the interrupt masking/unmasking without explicit calls

Key changes: - Line 1751-1754: Changed from `request_irq()` to `devm_request_threaded_irq()` with NULL top-half handler - Line 1481: Removed `disable_irq_nosync()` call from ISR - Line 1625: Removed corresponding `enable_irq()` call from work function - Line 1750: Removed `free_irq()` call (handled by devm_*)

## Stable Backport Criteria Evaluation

1. **Fixes a bug affecting users**: YES - This fixes a kernel BUG that causes system instability 2. **Relatively small and contained**: YES - Only 7 lines changed, confined to one driver file 3. **Clear side effects**: NO - The fix is straightforward with no architectural changes 4. **Major architectural changes**: NO - Simply changes IRQ registration method 5. **Critical kernel subsystems**: NO - Limited to USB Type-C controller driver 6. **Stable tree mention**: NO - But follows stable tree rules perfectly 7. **Follows stable rules**: YES - Important bugfix with minimal risk

## Additional Considerations

- The bug only manifests with specific hardware configurations (virtio- gpio or slow I2C GPIO expanders) - The fix is a standard pattern used throughout the kernel for similar issues - Using `devm_request_threaded_irq()` is actually cleaner and provides automatic cleanup - No functional changes to the driver's behavior, only fixes the atomic scheduling violation - Similar fixes have been applied to other drivers facing the same issue pattern

This is an ideal stable backport candidate: it fixes a real bug that causes kernel panics, the fix is minimal and well-understood, and there's virtually no risk of regression.

Based on my analysis of the commit and the surrounding code:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real user-visible bug**: The commit fixes image artifacts in the ISI (Image Sensor Interface) on i.MX8MP. This is a functional bug that affects users of camera/image capture functionality.

2. **Small and contained change**: The fix adds only 10 lines of code that set ISI panic write hurry levels in the `imx8mp_media_power_notifier` function. It's a minimal change confined to the i.MX8MP media block controller.

3. **Follows established pattern**: The fix mirrors the existing LCDIF panic read hurry level fix (commit 06a9a229b159) that was already applied for display FIFO underflow issues. The ISI needs similar cache settings to prevent artifacts.

4. **Hardware-specific fix**: The change only affects i.MX8MP hardware and is guarded by the platform-specific power notifier function, minimizing risk to other platforms.

5. **Clear problem and solution**: The commit message clearly states the problem (image artifacts) and the solution (setting ISI panic write hurry levels similar to LCDIF), making it a straightforward hardware configuration fix.

6. **No architectural changes**: This is purely a hardware register configuration change during power-on sequences, not introducing new features or changing kernel architecture.

The fix addresses a hardware-specific issue where the ISI (Image Sensor Interface) needs proper cache/priority settings to avoid image artifacts, similar to how the LCDIF (display interface) needs such settings to avoid display FIFO underflow. This is an important fix for anyone using camera functionality on i.MX8MP platforms.

When KCOV is enabled all functions get instrumented, unless the __no_sanitize_coverage attribute is used. To prepare for __no_sanitize_coverage being applied to __init functions[1], we have to handle differences in how GCC's inline optimizations get resolved. For thinkpad_acpi routines, this means forcing two functions to be inline with __always_inline.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:

## Detailed Analysis

### Nature of the Change The commit modifies two functions in `drivers/platform/x86/lenovo/thinkpad_acpi.c`: - `tpacpi_is_lenovo()`: Changed from `static inline` to `static __always_inline` - `tpacpi_is_ibm()`: Changed from `static inline` to `static __always_inline`

Both functions are marked with `__init` and are simple one-line functions that check the vendor ID.

### Root Cause This is a build fix addressing a subtle interaction between: 1. KCOV kernel coverage instrumentation 2. GCC's inline optimization heuristics 3. Linux kernel's __init section handling

When KCOV is enabled, all functions get instrumented unless marked with `__no_sanitize_coverage`. The commit message indicates this is preparation for applying `__no_sanitize_coverage` to `__init` functions. The problem occurs because:

1. With KCOV instrumentation, GCC may inline these functions into `__init` callers 2. Without KCOV instrumentation (when `__no_sanitize_coverage` is applied), GCC's heuristics change and it may decide NOT to inline them 3. This creates a section mismatch where `__init` code calls non-`__init` functions, causing build warnings/errors

### Why This Qualifies for Stable Backport

1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: This addresses legitimate build failures when `CONFIG_KCOV=y` is enabled, which affects: - Kernel developers doing coverage testing - CI/CD systems running kernel tests - Distribution builders enabling KCOV for testing

2. **Minimal Risk**: The change is extremely conservative: - Only changes inline hints from `inline` to `__always_inline` - No functional changes whatsoever - Affects only two simple getter functions - Cannot introduce runtime regressions

3. **Small and Contained**: The patch touches only 2 lines in a single file, making it easy to review and backport

4. **Part of Broader Fix**: This is part of a kernel-wide effort to fix KCOV-related build issues, with similar fixes across multiple architectures and subsystems

5. **Build Infrastructure**: Stable kernels need to maintain buildability with various configurations, including KCOV-enabled builds for testing

### Specific Code Impact Looking at the changed functions: ```c -static inline bool __pure __init tpacpi_is_lenovo(void) +static __always_inline bool __pure __init tpacpi_is_lenovo(void) { return thinkpad_id.vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_LENOVO; }

-static inline bool __pure __init tpacpi_is_ibm(void) +static __always_inline bool __pure __init tpacpi_is_ibm(void) { return thinkpad_id.vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_IBM; } ```

These are trivial getter functions that absolutely should be inlined. Using `__always_inline` ensures consistent behavior regardless of KCOV configuration, preventing section mismatch warnings.

### Conclusion This is a textbook example of a stable-appropriate fix: it solves a real build problem, has zero functional impact, is minimal in scope, and has essentially no risk of causing regressions. It should be backported to stable kernels that support KCOV (4.6+) to maintain build compatibility with coverage testing configurations.

[ Upstream commit a409c60111e6bb98fcabab2aeaa069daa9434ca0 ]

The 'sprintf' call in 'add_tuning_control' may exceed the 44-byte buffer if either string argument is too long. This triggers a compiler warning. Replaced 'sprintf' with 'snprintf' to limit string lengths to prevent overflow.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real security vulnerability**: The commit fixes a buffer overflow vulnerability in the `add_tuning_control` function. The sprintf call could overflow the 44-byte `namestr` buffer (defined as `char namestr[SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ID_NAME_MAXLEN]` where `SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ID_NAME_MAXLEN` is 44).

2. **Long-standing bug**: The vulnerable code was introduced in 2012 (commit 44f0c9782cc6a), meaning this buffer overflow has existed in the kernel for over a decade, affecting many stable kernel versions.

3. **Simple and contained fix**: The fix is minimal - it simply replaces `sprintf` with `snprintf` on a single line: ```c - sprintf(namestr, "%s %s Volume", name, dirstr[dir]); + snprintf(namestr, sizeof(namestr), "%s %s Volume", name, dirstr[dir]); ```

4. **Low risk of regression**: The change is straightforward and only adds bounds checking. It doesn't change any logic or behavior when strings fit within the buffer.

5. **Detected by automated testing**: The issue was caught by the kernel test robot, indicating it's a real compiler warning that should be addressed.

6. **Potential for exploitation**: While the tuning control names like "Wedge Angle", "SVM Level", and "EQ Band0-9" are relatively short, combined with "Playback" or "Capture" and " Volume", they could theoretically overflow the 44-byte buffer. For example: "EQ Band9" (8) + " " (1) + "Playback" (8) + " Volume" (7) = 24 bytes, which is safe, but the vulnerability exists if longer names were added in the future.

7. **Affects user-facing functionality**: This is in the ALSA HD Audio driver for Creative CA0132 sound cards, which are used by end users, making it important to fix in stable kernels.

The fix follows stable kernel rules perfectly: it's a minimal change that fixes an important bug without introducing new features or architectural changes.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. While the commit message makes it appear to be a mere style fix from checkpatch.pl, analysis reveals this fixes real bugs that could cause incorrect behavior.

**Critical Analysis:**

1. **Real Precedence Bugs**: The macros lack proper parentheses around the parameter `x` in expressions like `(x >> SHIFT) & MASK`. Without parentheses, if a complex expression is passed as the argument, operator precedence can cause incorrect evaluation.

2. **Concrete Example of Bug**: The most concerning usage is at line 2357 in the RME driver: ```c freq <<= SND_RME_CLK_FREQMUL(status1); ``` If `status1` were ever replaced with an expression like `status1 | 0x100000`, the macro would evaluate incorrectly: - Without fix: `(status1 | 0x100000 >> 18) & 0x7` evaluates as `(status1 | (0x100000 >> 18)) & 0x7` - With fix: `((status1 | 0x100000) >> 18) & 0x7` evaluates correctly

3. **Long-standing Issue**: These problematic macros were introduced in commit d39f1d68fe1d ("ALSA: usb-audio: Implement UAC2 jack detection") from October 2018, meaning this bug has existed for approximately 7 years.

4. **Hardware Impact**: These macros are used to extract clock configuration and synchronization status from RME Class Compliant USB audio devices. Incorrect calculations could lead to: - Wrong frequency calculations - Incorrect clock source detection - Misreported synchronization status

5. **Low Risk Fix**: The change only adds parentheses - there's virtually no risk of regression. The fix is minimal, obvious, and correct.

6. **Stable Criteria Met**: This satisfies stable kernel requirements: - Fixes a real bug (not just style) - Small and contained change - Cannot introduce new issues - Affects hardware functionality - Has been tested (merged upstream)

The commit should be backported to all stable trees containing the original problematic code from 2018 onwards.

[ Upstream commit 19f971057b2d7b99c80530ec1052b45de236a8da ]

To be more resilient to codec-detection failures when the hardware powers on slowly, add retry mechanism to the device verification check. Similar pattern is found throughout a number of Realtek codecs. Our tests show that 60ms delay is sufficient to address readiness issues on rt5640 chip.

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my detailed analysis:

## Analysis of the Commit

### 1. Bug Fix Nature This commit fixes a real-world hardware detection issue where the RT5640 codec device ID verification fails on systems where the hardware powers on slowly. The failure results in the driver returning `-ENODEV` and the audio codec not being initialized, causing complete audio failure.

### 2. Small and Contained Change The fix is minimal and highly contained: - Only adds 3 lines of code - The change is isolated to the probe function's device ID verification logic - No architectural changes or new features introduced - The retry logic is simple: if initial ID read doesn't match, wait 60-100ms and retry once

### 3. Clear Purpose with No Major Side Effects The code change: ```c regmap_read(rt5640->regmap, RT5640_VENDOR_ID2, &val); +if (val != RT5640_DEVICE_ID) { + usleep_range(60000, 100000); + regmap_read(rt5640->regmap, RT5640_VENDOR_ID2, &val); +} ``` - Only adds a single retry with delay if the first read fails - The delay (60-100ms) is reasonable for probe-time initialization - No impact on normal operation when hardware is ready

### 4. Follows Established Pattern The commit message mentions "Similar pattern is found throughout a number of Realtek codecs," and the probe function already contains a 400ms delay after enabling LDO1 (line 3004), showing that power-on delays are expected for this hardware.

### 5. Minimal Risk of Regression - The retry only occurs when device ID verification would have failed anyway - In the worst case, it adds a 60-100ms delay to failed probe attempts - Systems where the codec is ready immediately continue to work without delay - The pattern is conservative: only one retry attempt

### 6. Important User Impact Without this fix, affected systems experience: - Complete audio failure on boot - No audio codec detection - Requires manual intervention or multiple reboots to get audio working

### 7. Stable Tree Suitability This fix meets all stable kernel criteria: - Fixes a real bug affecting users - Minimal change with clear purpose - No new features or APIs - Low risk of introducing new issues - Self-contained within a single driver

The commit represents a classic hardware quirk fix that improves reliability without adding complexity, making it an ideal candidate for stable backport.
