Subject: lib/genalloc: fix device leak in of_gen_pool_get()
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 10:02:07 +0200
Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the genpool platform
device in of_gen_pool_get() before returning the pool.
Note that holding a reference to a device does typically not prevent its
devres managed resources from being released so there is no point in
keeping the reference.

Subject: Squashfs: fix uninit-value in squashfs_get_parent
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 00:33:08 +0100
Syzkaller reports a "KMSAN: uninit-value in squashfs_get_parent" bug.
This is caused by open_by_handle_at() being called with a file handle
containing an invalid parent inode number. In particular the inode number
is that of a symbolic link, rather than a directory.
Squashfs_get_parent() gets called with that symbolic link inode, and
accesses the parent member field.
unsigned int parent_ino = squashfs_i(inode)->parent;
Because non-directory inodes in Squashfs do not have a parent value, this
is uninitialised, and this causes an uninitialised value access.
The fix is to initialise parent with the invalid inode 0, which will cause
an EINVAL error to be returned.
Regular inodes used to share the parent field with the block_list_start
field. This is removed in this commit to enable the parent field to
contain the invalid inode number 0.

Subject: kho: only fill kimage if KHO is finalized
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kho-only-fill-kimage-if-kho-is-finalized.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch

------------------------------------------------------
From: Pratyush Yadav <pratyush(a)kernel.org>
Subject: kho: only fill kimage if KHO is finalized
Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2025 19:06:15 +0200
kho_fill_kimage() only checks for KHO being enabled before filling in the
FDT to the image. KHO being enabled does not mean that the kernel has
data to hand over. That happens when KHO is finalized.
When a kexec is done with KHO enabled but not finalized, the FDT page is
allocated but not initialized. FDT initialization happens after finalize.
This means the KHO segment is filled in but the FDT contains garbage
data.
This leads to the below error messages in the next kernel:
[ 0.000000] KHO: setup: handover FDT (0x10116b000) is invalid: -9
[ 0.000000] KHO: disabling KHO revival: -22
There is no problem in practice, and the next kernel boots and works fine.
But this still leads to misleading error messages and garbage being
handed over.
Only fill in KHO segment when KHO is finalized. When KHO is not enabled,
the debugfs interface is not created and there is no way to finalize it
anyway. So the check for kho_enable is not needed, and kho_out.finalize
alone is enough.

function_graph_enter_regs() prevents itself from recursion by
ftrace_test_recursion_trylock(), but __ftrace_return_to_handler(),
which is called at the exit, does not prevent such recursion.
Therefore, while it can prevent recursive calls from
fgraph_ops::entryfunc(), it is not able to prevent recursive calls
to fgraph from fgraph_ops::retfunc(), resulting in a recursive loop.
This can lead an unexpected recursion bug reported by Menglong.
is_endbr() is called in __ftrace_return_to_handler -> fprobe_return
-> kprobe_multi_link_exit_handler -> is_endbr.
To fix this issue, acquire ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() in the
__ftrace_return_to_handler() after unwind the shadow stack to mark
this section must prevent recursive call of fgraph inside user-defined
fgraph_ops::retfunc().
This is essentially a fix to commit 4346ba160409 ("fprobe: Rewrite
fprobe on function-graph tracer"), because before that fgraph was
only used from the function graph tracer. Fprobe allowed user to run
any callbacks from fgraph after that commit.

2.50.1
In exynos_get_pmu_regmap_by_phandle(), driver_find_device_by_of_node()
utilizes driver_find_device_by_fwnode() which internally calls
driver_find_device() to locate the matching device.
driver_find_device() increments the reference count of the found
device by calling get_device(), but exynos_get_pmu_regmap_by_phandle()
fails to call put_device() to decrement the reference count before
returning. This results in a reference count leak of the device each
time exynos_get_pmu_regmap_by_phandle() is executed, which may prevent
the device from being properly released and cause a memory leak.
Since Exynos-PMU is a core system device that is not unloaded at
runtime, and regmap is created during device probing, releasing the
temporary device reference does not affect the validity of regmap.
From the perspective of code standards and maintainability, reference
count leakage is a genuine code defect that should be fixed. Even if
the leakage does not immediately cause issues in certain scenarios,
known leakage points should not be left unaddressed.
Found by code review.

2.17.1
The previous commit 0718a78f6a9f ("ALSA: usb-audio: Kill timer properly at
removal") patched a UAF issue caused by the error timer.
However, because the error timer kill added in this patch occurs after the
endpoint delete, a race condition to UAF still occurs, albeit rarely.
Additionally, since kill-cleanup for urb is also missing, freed memory can
be accessed in interrupt context related to urb, which can cause UAF.
Therefore, to prevent this, error timer and urb must be killed before
freeing the heap memory.
