[RESEND PATCH v2] kallsyms: fix build without execinfo

Some libc's like musl libc don't provide execinfo.h since it's not part of POSIX. In order to fix compilation on musl, only include execinfo.h if available (HAVE_BACKTRACE_SUPPORT) This was discovered with c104c16073b7 ("Kunit to check the longest symbol length") which starts to include linux/kallsyms.h with Alpine Linux' configs.

[PATCH v3 1/1] mm/rmap: fix potential out-of-bounds page table access during batched unmap

by Lance Yang

From: Lance Yang <lance.yang(a)linux.dev> As pointed out by David[1], the batched unmap logic in try_to_unmap_one() may read past the end of a PTE table when a large folio's PTE mappings are not fully contained within a single page table. While this scenario might be rare, an issue triggerable from userspace must be fixed regardless of its likelihood. This patch fixes the out-of-bounds access by refactoring the logic into a new helper, folio_unmap_pte_batch(). The new helper correctly calculates the safe batch size by capping the scan at both the VMA and PMD boundaries. To simplify the code, it also supports partial batching (i.e., any number of pages from 1 up to the calculated safe maximum), as there is no strong reason to special-case for fully mapped folios.

[PATCH stable] ipmi:msghandler: Fix potential memory corruption in ipmi_create_user()

by Brendan Jackman

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter(a)linaro.org> commit fa332f5dc6fc662ad7d3200048772c96b861cf6b upstream The "intf" list iterator is an invalid pointer if the correct "intf->intf_num" is not found. Calling atomic_dec(&intf->nr_users) on and invalid pointer will lead to memory corruption. We don't really need to call atomic_dec() if we haven't called atomic_add_return() so update the if (intf->in_shutdown) path as well.

[PATCH] x86/mm: Disable hugetlb page table sharing on non-PAE 32-bit

by Jann Horn

Only select ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE if hugetlb page table sharing is actually possible; page table sharing requires at least three levels, because it involves shared references to PMD tables. Having ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE enabled on non-PAE 32-bit X86 (which has 2-level paging) became particularly problematic after commit 59d9094df3d7 ("mm: hugetlb: independent PMD page table shared count"), since that changes `struct ptdesc` such that the `pt_mm` (for PGDs) and the `pt_share_count` (for PMDs) share the same union storage - and with 2-level paging, PMDs are PGDs. (For comparison, arm64 also gates ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE on the configuration of page tables such that it is never enabled with 2-level paging.)
