[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.14 01/11] riscv: add a data fence for CMODX in the kernel mode

by Sasha Levin

From: Andy Chiu <andybnac(a)gmail.com> [ Upstream commit ca358692de41b273468e625f96926fa53e13bd8c ] RISC-V spec explicitly calls out that a local fence.i is not enough for the code modification to be visble from a remote hart. In fact, it states: To make a store to instruction memory visible to all RISC-V harts, the writing hart also has to execute a data FENCE before requesting that all remote RISC-V harts execute a FENCE.I. Although current riscv drivers for IPI use ordered MMIO when sending IPIs in order to synchronize the action between previous csd writes, riscv does not restrict itself to any particular flavor of IPI. Any driver or firmware implementation that does not order data writes before the IPI may pose a risk for code-modifying race. Thus, add a fence here to order data writes before making the IPI.

Here's my extensive analysis: ## Code Analysis The commit adds a critical memory fence (`RISCV_FENCE(w, o)`) before sending IPIs in the `flush_icache_all()` function in `arch/riscv/mm/cacheflush.c`. Specifically, it: 1. **Adds a data fence before IPI**: The `RISCV_FENCE(w, o)` instruction ensures that all previous memory writes (w) are ordered before device output operations (o), which includes MMIO writes for sending IPIs. 2. **Addresses RISC-V specification requirement**: The commit message explicitly references the RISC-V Platform Specification Section 2.1, which requires a data FENCE before requesting remote FENCE.I operations to ensure code modifications are visible across harts (hardware threads). 3. **Fixes a potential race condition**: Without this fence, there's a risk that code modifications made by one hart might not be visible to other harts when they receive the IPI to flush their instruction caches. ## Why This Should Be Backported ### 1. **Critical Correctness Issue** This fixes a fundamental correctness issue in code modification (CMODX) operations on RISC-V multiprocessor systems. The lack of proper ordering can lead to: - Stale instruction execution on remote cores - Race conditions in dynamic code modification scenarios - Potential security vulnerabilities in JIT compilers, kernel modules, and other code-patching mechanisms ### 2. **Specification Compliance** The fix ensures compliance with the RISC-V specification requirements. The spec explicitly states that a data fence is required before remote fence.i operations, making this a standards compliance fix rather than an optimization. ### 3. **Small and Contained Change** The change is minimal and surgical: - Adds only one fence instruction (`RISCV_FENCE(w, o)`) - No functional logic changes - Affects only the `flush_icache_all()` path - Low risk of introducing regressions ### 4. **Wide Impact on Code Modification** The `flush_icache_all()` function is used by: - Kernel module loading/unloading - JIT compilers (eBPF, etc.) - Dynamic code patching - Debugging infrastructure (kprobes, uprobes) - Any code that modifies executable instructions ### 5. **Similarity to Accepted Backports** Looking at similar commit #1 in the reference examples (irqchip fence ordering), which was marked as backportable, this commit addresses the same class of memory ordering issues that are critical for correctness on RISC-V systems. ### 6. **Platform Independence** The fix applies to all RISC-V implementations, as it addresses a fundamental architectural requirement rather than a specific hardware bug. ## Risk Assessment **Low Risk**: The fence instruction is a standard RISC-V barrier that: - Does not change control flow - Only adds necessary ordering constraints - Is already used extensively throughout the RISC-V kernel code - Has predictable performance impact (minimal additional latency) ## Comparison with Reference Commits This commit is most similar to reference commit #1 (irqchip memory ordering fix), which was correctly marked for backporting. Both commits: - Fix memory ordering issues in IPI/interrupt subsystems - Address RISC-V specification requirements - Have minimal code changes with high correctness impact - Fix potential race conditions in multi-hart systems The commit fixes a critical specification compliance issue that could lead to correctness problems in code modification scenarios across all RISC-V multiprocessor systems, making it an excellent candidate for stable backporting. arch/riscv/mm/cacheflush.c | 15 ++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/riscv/mm/cacheflush.c b/arch/riscv/mm/cacheflush.c index b816727298872..b2e4b81763f88 100644 --- a/arch/riscv/mm/cacheflush.c +++ b/arch/riscv/mm/cacheflush.c @@ -24,7 +24,20 @@ void flush_icache_all(void) if (num_online_cpus() < 2) return; - else if (riscv_use_sbi_for_rfence()) + + /* + * Make sure all previous writes to the D$ are ordered before making + * the IPI.

[PATCH v3 01/11] platform/x86/intel: refactor endpoint usage

by Michael J. Ruhl

The use of an endpoint has introduced a dependency in all class/pmt drivers to have an endpoint allocated. The telemetry driver has this allocation, the crashlog does not. The current usage is very telemetry focused, but should be common code. With this in mind: rename the struct telemetry_endpoint to struct class_endpoint, refactor the common endpoint code to be in the class.c module Fixes: 416eeb2e1fc7 ("platform/x86/intel/pmt: telemetry: Export API to read telemetry") Cc: <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Michael J.

[PATCH v6 0/2] x86/fred: Prevent immediate repeat of single step trap on return from SIGTRAP handler

by Xin Li (Intel)

IDT event delivery has a debug hole in which it does not generate #DB upon returning to userspace before the first userspace instruction is executed if the Trap Flag (TF) is set. FRED closes this hole by introducing a software event flag, i.e., bit 17 of the augmented SS: if the bit is set and ERETU would result in RFLAGS.TF = 1, a single-step trap will be pending upon completion of ERETU. However I overlooked properly setting and clearing the bit in different situations. Thus when FRED is enabled, if the Trap Flag (TF) is set without an external debugger attached, it can lead to an infinite loop in the SIGTRAP handler. To avoid this, the software event flag in the augmented SS must be cleared, ensuring that no single-step trap remains pending when ERETU completes. This patch set combines the fix [1] and its corresponding selftest [2] (requested by Dave Hansen) into one patch set.

[tip: x86/urgent] x86/fred/signal: Prevent immediate repeat of single step trap on return from SIGTRAP handler

by tip-bot2 for Xin Li (Intel)

The following commit has been merged into the x86/urgent branch of tip: Commit-ID: e34dbbc85d64af59176fe59fad7b4122f4330fe2 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/e34dbbc85d64af59176fe59fad7b4122f4330fe2 Author: Xin Li (Intel) <xin(a)zytor.com> AuthorDate: Mon, 09 Jun 2025 01:40:53 -07:00 Committer: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen(a)linux.intel.com> CommitterDate: Mon, 09 Jun 2025 08:50:58 -07:00 x86/fred/signal: Prevent immediate repeat of single step trap on return from SIGTRAP handler Clear the software event flag in the augmented SS to prevent immediate repeat of single step trap on return from SIGTRAP handler if the trap flag (TF) is set without an external debugger attached. Following is a typical single-stepping flow for a user process: 1) The user process is prepared for single-stepping by setting RFLAGS.TF = 1. 2) When any instruction in user space completes, a #DB is triggered. 3) The kernel handles the #DB and returns to user space, invoking the SIGTRAP handler with RFLAGS.TF = 0. 4) After the SIGTRAP handler finishes, the user process performs a sigreturn syscall, restoring the original state, including RFLAGS.TF = 1. 5) Goto step 2. According to the FRED specification: A) Bit 17 in the augmented SS is designated as the software event flag, which is set to 1 for FRED event delivery of SYSCALL, SYSENTER, or INT n. B) If bit 17 of the augmented SS is 1 and ERETU would result in RFLAGS.TF = 1, a single-step trap will be pending upon completion of ERETU. In step 4) above, the software event flag is set upon the sigreturn syscall, and its corresponding ERETU would restore RFLAGS.TF = 1. This combination causes a pending single-step trap upon completion of ERETU. Therefore, another #DB is triggered before any user space instruction is executed, which leads to an infinite loop in which the SIGTRAP handler keeps being invoked on the same user space IP.

To avoid this, the software event flag in the augmented SS must be cleared, ensuring that no single-step trap remains pending when ERETU completes. This test checks for that specific scenario—verifying whether the kernel correctly prevents an infinite SIGTRAP loop in this edge case when FRED is enabled. The test should _always_ pass with IDT event delivery, thus no need to disable the test even when FRED is not enabled.

[PATCH v2] mmc: core: sd: Apply BROKEN_SD_DISCARD quirk earlier

by Avri Altman

Move the BROKEN_SD_DISCARD quirk for certain SanDisk SD cards from the `mmc_blk_fixups[]` to `mmc_sd_fixups[]`. This ensures the quirk is applied earlier in the device initialization process, aligning with the reasoning in [1]. Applying the quirk sooner prevents the kernel from incorrectly enabling discard support on affected cards during initial setup.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 1/7] md/md-bitmap: fix dm-raid max_write_behind setting

by Sasha Levin

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3(a)huawei.com> [ Upstream commit 2afe17794cfed5f80295b1b9facd66e6f65e5002 ] It's supposed to be COUNTER_MAX / 2, not COUNTER_MAX. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-raid/20250524061320.370630-14-yukuai1@huaweic… Signed-off-by: Yu Kuai <yukuai3(a)huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch(a)lst.de> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare(a)suse.de> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal(a)kernel.org> --- Now I have a clear understanding. Let me analyze the specific code change in the commit: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Analysis of the Bug Fix ### 1. The Bug The code in `md_bitmap_new_disk_sb()` incorrectly validates `write_behind` against `COUNTER_MAX` instead of `COUNTER_MAX / 2`: ```c - if (write_behind > COUNTER_MAX) + if (write_behind > COUNTER_MAX / 2) write_behind = COUNTER_MAX / 2; ``` ### 2. Why This is a Real Bug The comment immediately above this code explicitly states: ```c /* - FIXME: write_behind for RAID1. If not specified, what - is a good choice? We choose COUNTER_MAX / 2 arbitrarily. */ ``` The intent is clearly to limit write_behind to `COUNTER_MAX / 2`, but the validation check was incorrectly comparing against `COUNTER_MAX`. This creates an inconsistency where: - Values between `COUNTER_MAX / 2` and `COUNTER_MAX` would pass the check - But then get clamped to `COUNTER_MAX / 2` anyway - This means the validation isn't serving its intended purpose ### 3. Impact on Users This bug affects: - **dm-raid users**: When creating new bitmap superblocks for RAID arrays with write-behind configured - **Data consistency**: While not causing data corruption, it creates confusion about the actual limits - **Configuration validation**: Users might set values that appear to be accepted but are silently reduced ### 4. Consistency with Other Code The fix aligns with the pattern used elsewhere: - In `dm-raid.c`: The validation correctly checks `value / 2 > COUNTER_MAX` (equivalent check for sector-based values) - The clamping value of `COUNTER_MAX / 2` is consistently used as the default throughout the codebase ### 5. Backport Criteria This commit meets the stable kernel backport criteria: - **It fixes a bug**: Incorrect validation logic that doesn't match the intended behavior - **Simple and contained**: One-line change with minimal risk - **Clear fix**: The correct value is obvious from the surrounding code and comment - **User-visible impact**: Affects configuration validation for dm-raid users ### 6. Similar Historical Commits Looking at the similar commits provided: - Commit #1 (backported): Added validation to prevent setting max_write_behind without write-mostly devices - Commit #4 (backported): Fixed missing bitmap updates with write-mostly devices Both of these were backported and dealt with correctness issues in the write-behind functionality, establishing a pattern that such fixes are considered stable-worthy. ### 7. Risk Assessment - **Low risk**: Single character change ('/' to '/ 2') - **Well-understood**: The correct limit is documented in the comment - **No ABI changes**: Just tightens an existing validation check - **Fail-safe**: Makes the validation more restrictive, not less ## Conclusion This is a clear bug fix that corrects an incorrect validation check to match the documented and intended behavior. The fix is trivial, safe, and addresses a real issue that affects dm-raid users. It should be backported to ensure consistent behavior across stable kernel versions. drivers/md/md-bitmap.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/md/md-bitmap.c b/drivers/md/md-bitmap.c index 8fc85b6251e48..feff5b29d0985 100644 --- a/drivers/md/md-bitmap.c +++ b/drivers/md/md-bitmap.c @@ -549,7 +549,7 @@ static int md_bitmap_new_disk_sb(struct bitmap *bitmap) * is a good choice?
