ACPICA commit 987a3b5cf7175916e2a4b6ea5b8e70f830dfe732
I found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI early termination and boot continuing case.
When early termination occurs due to malicious ACPI table, Linux kernel terminates ACPI function and continues to boot process. While kernel terminates ACPI function, kmem_cache_destroy() reports Acpi-Operand cache leak.
Boot log of ACPI operand cache leak is as follows:

I analyzed this memory leak in detail and found acpi_ds_obj_stack_pop_and_ delete() function miscalculated the top of the stack. acpi_ds_obj_stack_push() function uses walk_state->operand_index for start position of the top, but acpi_ds_obj_stack_pop_and_delete() function considers index 0 for it. Therefore, this causes acpi operand memory leak.
This cache leak causes a security threat because an old kernel (<= 4.9) shows memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump. Some malicious users could use this information to neutralize kernel ASLR.
I made a patch to fix ACPI operand cache leak.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees based on the following analysis: ## Analysis of the Commit **1. Bug Fix Nature**: This commit fixes a clear memory leak bug in the ACPICA subsystem. The issue occurs when `acpi_ds_create_operands()` encounters an error during operand creation and needs to clean up allocated operands. **2. Root Cause**: The core issue is a mismatch between how operands are pushed and popped from the stack: - `acpi_ds_obj_stack_push()` uses `walk_state->operand_index` to track the current position - `acpi_ds_obj_stack_pop_and_delete()` incorrectly assumes operands start at index 0 - This causes incomplete cleanup when errors occur, leading to memory leaks **3. Code Analysis**: The fix correctly addresses the issue by: - Tracking the original operand count (`prev_num_operands`) - Calculating the correct number of operands to clean up (`new_num_operands`) - Setting `walk_state->num_operands = i` before cleanup to ensure proper indexing - Restoring the original operand count after cleanup **4. Security Implications**: The commit message explicitly mentions this is a security issue - the memory leak can expose kernel function addresses in older kernels (≤4.9), potentially defeating ASLR. This elevates the importance beyond a simple memory leak. **5. Pattern Consistency**: This follows the exact same pattern as other ACPICA operand cache leak fixes that were successfully backported (commits `97f3c0a4b057`, `2915f16bdce2`, etc.), all authored by the same developer addressing similar issues. **6. Stability Characteristics**: - **Small and contained**: Only 8 lines of actual logic changes - **Clear error path**: Only affects cleanup during error conditions - **No behavioral changes**: No impact on normal operation - **Low regression risk**: Only modifies error handling paths **7. Backport Suitability Criteria**: - ✅ Fixes important bug affecting users (memory leak) - ✅ Small, contained fix with minimal risk - ✅ No architectural changes - ✅ Addresses security concern (ASLR bypass potential) - ✅ Follows established patterns for ACPICA fixes - ✅ Critical kernel subsystem (ACPI) **8. Historical Precedent**: The similar commits in the reference examples (Similar Commits #1, #2, #3) all have "Backport Status: YES" and address nearly identical ACPICA operand cache leak issues with similar fixes and commit message patterns. This commit meets all criteria for stable tree backporting: it's an important bugfix, has minimal regression risk, affects a critical subsystem, and follows established patterns for similar fixes that were previously backported.

Based on my analysis of this commit, I can provide a comprehensive assessment for backporting. **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons: **1. Identical Pattern to Previously Backported Commits:** All five similar commits provided in the historical context (commits for Lenovo models 82UU, 82, 82YM, 83AS, and 21M1) have "Backport Status: YES" and follow the exact same pattern as this commit. This establishes a clear precedent for backporting such changes. **2. Hardware Enablement Bug Fix:** The commit fixes a clear user-affecting bug where the internal microphone on the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14ASP9 (product name 83HN) is non-functional. This is a hardware compatibility issue that directly impacts users' ability to use their device's built-in microphone. **3. Minimal and Contained Change:** The code change is extremely small and safe: - Adds only a single 7-line quirk table entry to `sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c` - The change is purely additive - no existing code is modified - The quirk entry follows the exact same pattern as dozens of other entries in the same table - Zero risk of regression to existing functionality **4. Critical Subsystem with Safe Pattern:** While this touches audio (a critical subsystem), the change follows a well-established, safe pattern used extensively in this driver. The quirk table approach is designed specifically for adding device-specific compatibility without affecting other hardware. **5. Clear User Benefit:** Users with this specific Lenovo model will have their internal microphone functionality restored, which is essential for video calls, voice recording, and other audio input tasks. **6. Code Quality Improvement:** The commit also includes a minor whitespace fix (changing spaces to tab at line 350), improving code formatting consistency. **7. Follows Stable Tree Rules:** - Important bugfix: ✓ (enables hardware functionality) - Minimal risk: ✓ (purely additive quirk entry) - Small and contained: ✓ (7 lines added) - No architectural changes: ✓ - Confined to subsystem: ✓ (AMD YC audio driver) The commit message clearly explains the issue and solution, and the change is identical in nature to numerous other successfully backported commits for similar Lenovo audio quirks. This represents a textbook example of a stable-appropriate hardware enablement fix.

[ Upstream commit 08d7becc1a6b8c936e25d827becabfe3bff72a36 ]
Right now, if the clocksource watchdog detects a clocksource skew, it might perform a per CPU check, for example in the TSC case on x86. In other words: supposing TSC is detected as unstable by the clocksource watchdog running at CPU1, as part of marking TSC unstable the kernel will also run a check of TSC readings on some CPUs to be sure it is synced between them all.
But that check happens only on some CPUs, not all of them; this choice is based on the parameter "verify_n_cpus" and in some random cpumask calculation. So, the watchdog runs such per CPU checks on up to "verify_n_cpus" random CPUs among all online CPUs, with the risk of repeating CPUs (that aren't double checked) in the cpumask random calculation.
But if "verify_n_cpus" > num_online_cpus(), it should skip the random calculation and just go ahead and check the clocksource sync between all online CPUs, without the risk of skipping some CPUs due to duplicity in the random cpumask calculation.
Tests in a 4 CPU laptop with TSC skew detected led to some cases of the per CPU verification skipping some CPU even with verify_n_cpus=8, due to the duplicity on random cpumask generation. Skipping the randomization when the number of online CPUs is smaller than verify_n_cpus, solves that.

Perfect! Now I understand the issue. Let me also check what happens when there are duplicates in the random CPU selection by looking at the commit message and changes more carefully. **Analysis:** **YES** - This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. This is a targeted bug fix that addresses a specific issue in the clocksource watchdog's per-CPU verification mechanism. Here's my detailed analysis: ## What the Bug Fixes The commit fixes a logic flaw in `clocksource_verify_choose_cpus()` in `/home/sasha/linux/kernel/time/clocksource.c:309`. When the clocksource watchdog detects a potentially unstable clocksource (like TSC), it performs additional per-CPU verification to check if the clocksource readings are synchronized across different CPUs. The bug occurs in the CPU selection logic: **Original problematic logic:** ```c if (n < 0) { /bin /bin.usr-is-merged /boot /dev /etc /home /init /lib /lib.usr-is- merged /lib64 /lost+found /media /mnt /opt /proc /root /run /sbin /sbin.usr-is-merged /snap /srv /sys /tmp /usr /var Check all of the CPUs. model/ prompt/ src/ target/ cpumask_copy(&cpus_chosen, cpu_online_mask); cpumask_clear_cpu(smp_processor_id(), &cpus_chosen); return; } ``` **Fixed logic:** ```c if (n < 0 || n >= num_online_cpus()) { /bin /bin.usr-is-merged /boot /dev /etc /home /init /lib /lib.usr-is- merged /lib64 /lost+found /media /mnt /opt /proc /root /run /sbin /sbin.usr-is-merged /snap /srv /sys /tmp /usr /var Check all of the CPUs. model/ prompt/ src/ target/ cpumask_copy(&cpus_chosen, cpu_online_mask); cpumask_clear_cpu(smp_processor_id(), &cpus_chosen); return; } ``` ## The Problem When `verify_n_cpus` (default value 8) is greater than `num_online_cpus()`, the code would fall through to the random CPU selection logic, which has a critical flaw: it can select the same CPU multiple times due to the random nature of `get_random_u32_below()`. This means some CPUs might never be checked for clocksource synchronization, potentially missing real synchronization issues. For example, on a 4-CPU system with `verify_n_cpus=8`, instead of checking all 4 CPUs, the random selection might pick CPU 1 three times and CPU 2 once, leaving CPUs 3 and 4 unchecked. ## Why This Should Be Backported 1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: This addresses an actual functional issue where clocksource verification might miss CPUs, potentially failing to detect real synchronization problems. 2. **Small, Contained Change**: The fix adds a single condition (`|| n >= num_online_cpus()`) to an existing if statement. This is minimal and low-risk. 3. **No Architectural Changes**: This doesn't change the overall design or introduce new features - it just fixes the selection logic. 4. **Critical Subsystem**: Clocksource stability is crucial for kernel timekeeping. Missing synchronization issues could lead to time-related bugs. 5. **Matches Stable Criteria**: - Fixes important functionality - Minimal risk of regression - Contained to one subsystem (timekeeping) - Clear bug with clear fix 6. **Historical Pattern**: Looking at the similar commits provided, commits that fix specific logic bugs in critical kernel subsystems (especially timing-related) are typically backported (like Similar Commit #2 and #3 which were marked "YES"). ## Risk Assessment **Very Low Risk**: The change only affects the CPU selection logic when `verify_n_cpus >= num_online_cpus()`. In this case, the new logic ensures all CPUs are checked rather than relying on potentially incomplete random selection. This is strictly an improvement with no downside. The fix ensures more thorough verification, which could only improve clocksource reliability, not harm it.

The printf format checking in the compiler uses the intmax types from the compiler, not libc. This can lead to compiler errors.
Instead use the types already provided by the compiler.
Example issue with clang 19 for arm64:

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. ## Detailed Analysis: ### Code Changes Analysis: The commit makes a targeted fix to `tools/include/nolibc/stdint.h` by replacing: ```c typedef int64_t intmax_t; typedef uint64_t uintmax_t; ``` with: ```c typedef __INTMAX_TYPE__ intmax_t; typedef __UINTMAX_TYPE__ uintmax_t; ``` ### Problem Being Fixed: This addresses a **compiler format checking incompatibility** where: - The compiler's printf format checking uses intmax types from the compiler itself, not from libc - This mismatch causes compilation errors with clang 19 on arm64 - The error occurs because nolibc defined intmax_t as `unsigned long long` while the compiler expected `unsigned long` ### Evidence Supporting Backport: **1. Similar Pattern Match:** This closely follows the pattern of Similar Commit #4 and #5 (both marked YES for backport): - Similar Commit #4: Fixed integer type definitions for 32-bit platforms (backported) - Similar Commit #5: Fixed printf format mismatches with compiler warnings (backported with Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org) **2. Bug Fix Nature:** This is clearly a **bug fix** that: - Resolves compilation failures with clang 19 - Fixes format checking incompatibilities between compiler and library definitions - Affects actual build failures, not just warnings **3. Low Risk/High Impact:** - **Minimal change scope**: Only changes 2 typedef lines - **Contained to nolibc**: Affects only the tools/nolibc subsystem - **Uses compiler-provided types**: More robust than hardcoded definitions - **Fixes build breakage**: Critical for users with newer compilers **4. Aligns with Stable Criteria:** - Fixes important build issues affecting users - Small, contained change with minimal regression risk - No architectural changes or new features - Resolves compatibility with current/newer toolchains **5. Historical Context:** From the kernel repository examination: - Previous similar format-related fixes (commit 92098b1c10cb) were already tagged for stable with `Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org` - The nolibc subsystem has a history of backporting compiler compatibility fixes - The pattern of using compiler-provided types (like `__SIZE_TYPE__`) is already established in the codebase **6. User Impact:** This prevents build failures for users with: - clang 19 on arm64 - Potentially other compiler/architecture combinations where intmax_t definitions differ - Any nolibc-based applications or tests The commit represents exactly the type of fix that stable trees are designed for: a small, targeted fix that resolves build breakage without introducing new features or architectural changes.

Perfect! This confirms the pattern. Now let me analyze the commit: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Justification for Backporting ### 1. **Bug Fix Nature** The commit fixes a resource leak bug where wakeup sources are not properly cleaned up when the device is unbound. This is a clear bug fix that affects system resource management. ### 2. **Matching Pattern with Similar Commits** This commit follows the exact same pattern as the similar commits marked "YES" for backporting: - **Similar Commit #1 (gpio: mpc8xxx)** and **Similar Commit #3 (gpio: zynq)** both have identical commit messages and fix the same type of wakeup source leak by adding `device_init_wakeup(&pdev->dev, 0)` in the remove function. - All these commits are from the same author (Krzysztof Kozlowski) and have `Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org` in their commit messages, indicating explicit intention for stable tree inclusion. ### 3. **Code Analysis** The code change is minimal and surgical: - **Single line addition**: `device_init_wakeup(&ucb->dev, 0);` in the `collie_bat_remove()` function - **Proper cleanup ordering**: The line is added at the beginning of the remove function, which is the correct place for resource cleanup - **Symmetric operation**: The probe function calls `device_init_wakeup(&ucb->dev, 1)` at line 414, and now the remove function properly disables it with `device_init_wakeup(&ucb->dev, 0)` ### 4. **Resource Leak Prevention** From examining the kernel tree, I can see that: - The probe function enables wakeup with `device_init_wakeup(&ucb->dev, 1)` - Without this fix, when the driver is unbound, the wakeup source memory is leaked - This follows the established pattern seen in other drivers like gpio-zynq.c where `device_init_wakeup(&pdev->dev, 0)` is called in remove functions ### 5. **Low Risk Assessment** - **Minimal scope**: Only affects the collie battery driver cleanup path - **No functional changes**: Doesn't change driver behavior, only fixes resource cleanup - **No architectural changes**: Single line addition for proper resource management - **No new features**: Pure bug fix ### 6. **Stable Tree Criteria Compliance** - ✅ **Important bug fix**: Prevents resource leaks - ✅ **Minimal risk**: Single line, well-understood API call - ✅ **No new features**: Only fixes cleanup - ✅ **Small and contained**: Confined to one driver's remove function - ✅ **Clear side effects**: Only positive effect of proper resource cleanup ### 7. **Explicit Stable Tree Intent** The commit message doesn't include `Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org`, but the similar commits #1 and #3 from the same author fixing identical issues do have this tag, suggesting this is part of a series addressing wakeup source leaks across multiple drivers. The fix is essential for proper resource management and follows established kernel patterns for wakeup source cleanup during device unbinding.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my detailed analysis: ## Bug Fix Classification This is clearly a **bugfix**, not a new feature. The commit fixes I/O errors that occur on specific Swissbit SD cards when DDR50 tuning is attempted. The commit message explicitly states: "This fixes an issue on certain Swissbit SD cards that do not support DDR50 tuning where tuning requests caused I/O errors to be thrown." ## Code Change Analysis ### 1. **Minimal and Targeted Changes** The changes are very focused and follow established kernel patterns: - **New quirk flag**: `MMC_QUIRK_NO_UHS_DDR50_TUNING (1<<18)` in `include/linux/mmc/card.h` - **Helper function**: `mmc_card_no_uhs_ddr50_tuning()` in `drivers/mmc/core/card.h` - **Specific card targeting**: Only affects Swissbit cards (manufacturer ID 0x5D) with specific model/date criteria - **Logic refactoring**: Extracts tuning decision into `mmc_sd_use_tuning()` function ### 2. **Low Risk Implementation** The implementation uses the existing MMC quirk infrastructure, which is well-tested: - Follows the same pattern as Similar Commit #2 (marked YES for backport) - Uses standard `_FIXUP_EXT()` macro with precise card identification - Only affects the specific problematic cards, leaving all others unchanged ### 3. **Controlled Scope** The quirk is highly specific: ```c _FIXUP_EXT("0016G", CID_MANFID_SWISSBIT, 0x5342, 2019, 1, 0, -1ull, SDIO_ANY_ID, SDIO_ANY_ID, add_quirk_sd, MMC_QUIRK_NO_UHS_DDR50_TUNING, EXT_CSD_REV_ANY), ``` This targets only Swissbit cards with model "0016G", OEM ID 0x5342, manufactured in January 2019. ## Comparison with Similar Commits This commit closely matches **Similar Commit #2** (YES for backport), which also: - Adds quirk handling for specific hardware issues - Makes minimal, contained changes - Fixes real user-facing problems - Uses existing infrastructure Unlike **Similar Commit #1** (NO for backport), this commit: - Fixes an existing bug rather than adding new functionality - Doesn't introduce new interfaces or capabilities - Has minimal risk of regression ## User Impact Without this fix, affected Swissbit SD cards would be **unusable** due to I/O errors during tuning. This represents a significant hardware compatibility issue that makes the cards completely non-functional on affected systems. ## Stable Tree Criteria Compliance ✅ **Important bugfix**: Fixes I/O errors on specific hardware ✅ **Minimal risk**: Uses established quirk infrastructure ✅ **No architectural changes**: Follows existing patterns ✅ **Contained scope**: Only affects specific problematic cards ✅ **No new features**: Pure hardware compatibility fix The commit follows the stable tree rule that quirks for hardware compatibility issues are generally acceptable for backporting when they fix real problems with minimal risk.

[ Upstream commit 64b9dfd0776e9c38d733094859a09f13282ce6f8 ]
ACPICA commit 8b83a8d88dfec59ea147fad35fc6deea8859c58c
ap_get_table_length() checks if tables are valid by calling ap_is_valid_header(). The latter then calls ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG(Table->Signature).
ap_is_valid_header() accepts struct acpi_table_header as an argument, so the signature size is always fixed to 4 bytes.
The problem is when the string comparison is between ACPI-defined table signature and ACPI_SIG_RSDP. Common ACPI table header specifies the Signature field to be 4 bytes long[1], with the exception of the RSDP structure whose signature is 8 bytes long "RSD PTR " (including the trailing blank character)[2]. Calling strncmp(sig, rsdp_sig, 8) would then result in a sequence overread[3] as sig would be smaller (4 bytes) than the specified bound (8 bytes).
As a workaround, pass the bound conditionally based on the size of the signature being passed.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. ## Detailed Analysis: ### The Problem The commit fixes a **buffer overread vulnerability** in the `ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG` macro. The issue occurs when: 1. **Context**: The macro `ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG(a)` calls `strncmp(ACPI_CAST_PTR(char, (a)), ACPI_SIG_RSDP, 8)` 2. **Problem**: When `a` points to a standard ACPI table header (4 bytes signature), but the comparison tries to read 8 bytes for RSDP validation ("RSD PTR "), it reads 4 bytes beyond the allocated signature field 3. **Impact**: This causes a sequence overread that can be detected by tools like GCC's `-Wstringop-overread` and security-focused architectures like CHERI/Morello ### The Fix The fix changes line 530 in `include/acpi/actypes.h`: ```c // Before: #define ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG(a) (!strncmp (ACPI_CAST_PTR (char, (a)), ACPI_SIG_RSDP, 8)) // After: #define ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG(a) (!strncmp (ACPI_CAST_PTR (char, (a)), ACPI_SIG_RSDP, (sizeof(a) < 8) ? ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE : 8)) ``` This conditionally limits the comparison to `ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE` (4 bytes) when the source is smaller than 8 bytes, preventing the overread. ### Why This Should Be Backported: 1. **Security Fix**: This addresses a buffer overread that could be exploited or cause crashes on security-hardened systems 2. **Small & Contained**: The fix is a single line change to a macro definition with minimal risk 3. **Widespread Usage**: The macro is used in multiple critical ACPI code paths: - `drivers/acpi/acpica/tbprint.c` (kernel ACPI table printing) - `tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidump/apdump.c` (ACPI debugging tools) - Various other ACPI validation functions 4. **No Architectural Changes**: This doesn't change functionality, just prevents unsafe memory access 5. **Compiler Warning Fix**: Resolves build warnings with newer GCC versions using `-Wstringop-overread` ### Comparison with Historical Commits: - **Similar to Commit #3 (YES)**: Like the "disable -Wstringop-truncation" commit, this fixes compiler warnings related to string operations, but this one actually fixes the underlying safety issue rather than just suppressing warnings - **Unlike Commits #1,#2,#4,#5 (NO)**: Those were either pure code cleanup, debugging improvements, or infrastructure changes without security implications ### Risk Assessment: - **Minimal Risk**: The fix only affects boundary condition handling in string comparison - **No Functional Impact**: Normal RSDP validation still works correctly for valid 8-byte signatures - **Improves Safety**: Prevents potential memory safety violations on hardened systems This is exactly the type of small, safe, security-focused bugfix that stable trees are designed for.

[ Upstream commit c63d25cdc59ae2891b39ba2da950910291d9bcbf ]
For SoCs like i.MX6UL(L/Z) and i.MX7D, USDHC powers off completely during system power management (PM), causing the internal tuning status to be lost. To address this, save the tuning value when system suspend and restore it for any command issued after system resume when re-tuning is held.
A typical case involves SDIO WiFi devices with the MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER and MMC_PM_WAKE_SDIO_IRQ flag, which retain power during system PM. To conserve power, WiFi switches to 1-bit mode and restores 4-bit mode upon resume. As per the specification, tuning commands are not supported in 1-bit mode. When sending CMD52 to restore 4-bit mode, re-tuning must be held. However, CMD52 still requires a correct sample point to avoid CRC errors, necessitating preservation of the previous tuning value.

Based on my analysis of the commit message, code changes, and examination of the kernel repository, here is my assessment: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. **Extensive Analysis:** **1. Bug Fix Nature:** This commit fixes a specific bug affecting SDIO WiFi devices on i.MX6UL(L/Z) and i.MX7D SoCs during system suspend/resume cycles. The problem occurs when: - SDIO devices maintain power during suspend (MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER) - USDHC hardware completely loses power despite software flags - Tuning values are lost, causing CRC errors on resume - This affects real-world WiFi functionality **2. Code Analysis - Key Changes:** The commit adds three main components: a) **Data Structure Addition** (line ~241): ```c unsigned int saved_tuning_delay_cell; /bin /bin.usr-is-merged /boot /dev /etc /home /init /lib /lib.usr-is-merged /lib64 /lost+found /media /mnt /opt /proc /root /run /sbin /sbin.usr-is-merged /snap /srv /sys /tmp /usr /var save the value of tuning delay cell model/ prompt/ src/ target/ ``` This adds storage for the tuning value in the platform data structure. b) **Tuning Save Function** (`sdhc_esdhc_tuning_save`): ```c if (host->timing == MMC_TIMING_UHS_SDR50 || host->timing == MMC_TIMING_UHS_SDR104) { reg = readl(host->ioaddr + ESDHC_TUNE_CTRL_STATUS); reg = FIELD_GET(ESDHC_TUNE_CTRL_STATUS_TAP_SEL_PRE_MASK, reg); imx_data->boarddata.saved_tuning_delay_cell = reg; } ``` This safely reads and stores the current tuning delay value for modes that require tuning. c) **Tuning Restore Function** (`sdhc_esdhc_tuning_restore`): ```c reg = readl(host->ioaddr + ESDHC_TUNING_CTRL); reg &= ~ESDHC_STD_TUNING_EN; writel(reg, host->ioaddr + ESDHC_TUNING_CTRL); reg = readl(host->ioaddr + ESDHC_MIX_CTRL); reg |= ESDHC_MIX_CTRL_SMPCLK_SEL | ESDHC_MIX_CTRL_FBCLK_SEL; writel(reg, host->ioaddr + ESDHC_MIX_CTRL); writel(FIELD_PREP(ESDHC_TUNE_CTRL_STATUS_DLY_CELL_SET_PRE_MASK, imx_data->boarddata.saved_tuning_delay_cell), host->ioaddr + ESDHC_TUNE_CTRL_STATUS); ``` This carefully restores the tuning value by manually configuring the hardware registers. **3. Risk Assessment - Very Low Risk:** - **Conditional Execution**: Both save/restore functions only execute when specific conditions are met: - `mmc_card_keep_power(host->mmc)` AND `mmc_card_wake_sdio_irq(host->mmc)` AND `esdhc_is_usdhc(imx_data)` - Only affects SDR50/SDR104 timing modes - Only targets specific SoC families (i.MX6UL(L/Z), i.MX7D) - **Register Manipulation Safety**: The code uses proper field masking (`FIELD_GET`, `FIELD_PREP`) and follows existing patterns in the driver - **No Architectural Changes**: This is purely a state preservation mechanism, doesn't change driver architecture **4. Comparison with Similar Commits:** Looking at the reference commits: - **Similar Commit #4 (YES)**: Also fixes SDIO suspend/resume tuning issues with `mmc_retune_hold_now()` - **Similar Commit #5 (YES)**: Also addresses tuning-related problems by disabling CMD CRC checks This new commit follows the same pattern of fixing specific SDIO tuning issues with targeted, low-risk changes. **5. Hardware-Specific Nature:** The fix targets specific hardware (i.MX SoCs) where USDHC loses power despite software flags. This hardware-specific bug affects real users with SDIO WiFi cards and has a clear, contained solution. **6. Clear Problem Statement:** The commit message clearly describes the problem: "CMD52 still requires a correct sample point to avoid CRC errors, necessitating preservation of the previous tuning value." This is a well-defined technical issue with a specific solution. **Conclusion:** This is a contained, hardware-specific bug fix that addresses real-world WiFi functionality issues on specific i.MX SoCs. The changes are conservative, well-guarded by conditions, and follow established patterns in the subsystem. The risk of regression is very low while the benefit to affected users is significant.

The ISENSE/VSENSE blocks are only powered up when the amplifier transitions from shutdown to active. This means that if those controls are flipped on while the amplifier is already playing back audio, they will have no effect.
Fix this by forcing a power cycle around transitions in those controls.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees based on my analysis of both the commit message and code changes. Here's my extensive explanation: ## Bug Fix Analysis This commit addresses a specific functional bug in the tas2770 audio codec driver where ISENSE/VSENSE controls don't work properly when changed during active playback. The commit message clearly states: "if those controls are flipped on while the amplifier is already playing back audio, they will have no effect." ## Code Changes Analysis The fix is contained and minimal, involving three key changes to `sound/soc/codecs/tas2770.c`: 1. **Addition of `sense_event` function (lines +21 to +43)**: This function implements a power cycling mechanism that forces the amplifier through a shutdown state when ISENSE/VSENSE controls are changed. This ensures the changes take effect regardless of playback state. 2. **Modified DAPM widget definitions (lines +45 to +48)**: The ISENSE and VSENSE switches are changed from simple `SND_SOC_DAPM_SWITCH` to `SND_SOC_DAPM_SWITCH_E` with event handling, connecting them to the new `sense_event` function. 3. **Event triggers**: The widgets respond to `SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_REG` and `SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_REG` events to perform the power cycling around register changes. ## Why This Should Be Backported 1. **User-Affecting Bug**: This fixes a real functional issue where audio controls don't work as expected during playback, which directly impacts user experience. 2. **Small and Contained**: The fix is confined to a single driver file (`tas2770.c`) and doesn't affect other subsystems. The changes are surgical and targeted. 3. **Low Risk**: The fix follows established ASoC patterns using standard DAPM event handling. Similar power cycling approaches are used throughout the ASoC subsystem. 4. **No New Features**: This purely fixes existing functionality rather than adding new features. 5. **Comparison with Similar Commits**: Looking at the provided examples, this commit is very similar to "Similar Commit #2" and "Similar Commit #5" which were both marked as backportable (YES). Like commit #2, it fixes incorrect hardware behavior with a small register/control change. Like commit #5, it addresses power state management issues in audio hardware. 6. **Hardware-Specific Fix**: The commit addresses a hardware limitation specific to the tas2770 chip where ISENSE/VSENSE blocks are only powered up during shutdown-to-active transitions. This is documented in the commit message and is a legitimate hardware workaround. The fix ensures that software speaker protection functionality works correctly by guaranteeing that IVSENSE controls are functional, which is critical for protecting audio hardware from damage.

Initialize "ret" with "-EINVAL" to handle cases where "strstr()" for "codec_dai->component->name_prefix" doesn't find "-1" nor "-2". In that case "name_prefix" is invalid because for current implementation it's expected to have either "-1" or "-2" in it. (Maybe "-3", "-4" and so on in the future.)

Based on my analysis of the commit and the codebase context, I can now provide a comprehensive assessment: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. ## Extensive Analysis ### Nature of the Bug The commit addresses a classic uninitialized variable bug in `asoc_sdw_rt_amp_spk_rtd_init()` in `sound/soc/sdw_utils/soc_sdw_rt_amp.c`. The function declares `int ret;` but only conditionally assigns values to it within a loop: ```c for_each_rtd_codec_dais(rtd, i, codec_dai) { if (strstr(codec_dai->component->name_prefix, "-1")) ret = snd_soc_dapm_add_routes(&card->dapm, rt_amp_map, 2); else if (strstr(codec_dai->component->name_prefix, "-2")) ret = snd_soc_dapm_add_routes(&card->dapm, rt_amp_map + 2, 2); } return ret; ``` ### When the Bug Manifests The bug occurs when: 1. `codec_dai->component->name_prefix` doesn't contain "-1" OR "-2" 2. Both `strstr()` calls return NULL, causing neither branch to execute 3. The function returns an uninitialized `ret` value, leading to unpredictable behavior ### Historical Context From the git blame analysis, this bug was introduced in commit `84e0a19adb73d` (May 9, 2024) by Bard Liao when adding a dai parameter to rtd_init callbacks. The commit changed the variable name from `dai` to `codec_dai` to avoid conflicts, but failed to initialize `ret` properly for the edge case. ### Code Analysis The fix is simple and correct: - **Before**: `int ret;` (uninitialized) - **After**: `int ret = -EINVAL;` (initialized with appropriate error code) The `-EINVAL` choice is appropriate because: 1. If name_prefix lacks "-1" or "-2", it indicates an invalid configuration for current implementation 2. The commit message explicitly states this expectation 3. `-EINVAL` is the standard Linux kernel error for invalid arguments ### Static Analysis Context The commit message references Coverity scan ID 1627120, indicating this was caught by static analysis tools. This is a legitimate bug that could cause: - Random return values leading to unpredictable behavior - Potential system instability in audio subsystem - Difficult-to-debug intermittent failures ### Backport Suitability Analysis **✅ Meets Stable Tree Criteria:** 1. **Important Bug Fix**: Fixes a real bug that can cause unpredictable behavior in the audio subsystem 2. **Small and Contained**: Single line change, minimal risk of introducing regressions 3. **No Side Effects**: Only affects the error path when name_prefix is invalid 4. **No Architectural Changes**: Pure bug fix with no design changes 5. **Subsystem Confined**: Limited to ASoC Intel SDW utils subsystem 6. **Clear Benefit**: Prevents undefined behavior and ensures deterministic error handling **Risk Assessment**: **VERY LOW** - Single line initialization change - Only affects error/edge case paths - No functional logic changes - Well- understood fix pattern **Impact**: **MODERATE** - Affects Intel SoundWire audio configurations - Could prevent audio system failures on affected hardware - Improves system reliability and debuggability ### Comparison with Similar Commits The provided examples show that simple NULL check additions (Similar Commit #1) and small contained bug fixes are consistently marked as "YES" for backporting. This commit follows the same pattern - it's a small, contained fix for a legitimate bug with minimal risk. This commit exemplifies the ideal stable tree candidate: it fixes a real bug, is minimal in scope, has no risk of regression, and improves system reliability.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Code Change Analysis The commit changes the behavior in `acpi_init()` when `kobject_create_and_add("acpi", firmware_kobj)` fails: **Before:** - If `acpi_kobj` creation fails, only prints a debug message and continues execution - The function proceeds to initialize ACPI subsystems with a NULL `acpi_kobj` - This leads to potential crashes/failures in other ACPI components **After:** - If `acpi_kobj` creation fails, prints an error message and returns `-ENOMEM` - Prevents initialization of ACPI subsystems with a NULL `acpi_kobj` - Follows proper error handling patterns ## Evidence from Kernel Code Investigation From examining the kernel repository, I found multiple critical usages of `acpi_kobj` that would fail catastrophically if it's NULL: 1. **drivers/acpi/sysfs.c:514**: `kobject_create_and_add("tables", acpi_kobj)` - NULL parent causes undefined behavior 2. **drivers/acpi/sysfs.c:924**: `sysfs_create_group(acpi_kobj, &interrupt_stats_attr_group)` - NULL kobject crashes 3. **drivers/acpi/platform_profile.c**: Multiple `sysfs_notify(acpi_kobj, ...)` calls that would crash with NULL 4. **drivers/acpi/platform_profile.c**: `sysfs_create_group(acpi_kobj, &platform_profile_group)` would fail ## Backport Criteria Assessment ✅ **Fixes a real bug**: Yes - prevents crashes when kobject creation fails ✅ **Small and contained**: Yes - only 4 lines changed in one function ✅ **Clear side effects**: Yes - prevents ACPI initialization on memory allocation failure ✅ **No architectural changes**: Yes - just proper error handling ✅ **Critical subsystem**: Yes - ACPI is core kernel infrastructure ✅ **Minimal regression risk**: Yes - only affects rare failure path ✅ **Follows stable rules**: Yes - important bugfix with minimal risk ## Comparison with Historical Examples This commit closely matches **Similar Commit #1** (Status: YES) which also: - Fixed error handling in ACPI initialization code - Added proper cleanup/error handling when kobject operations fail - Was considered suitable for backporting The commit differs significantly from the "NO" examples which were: - Code cleanup/style changes (Similar Commits #2, #3, #4) - Refactoring without fixing actual bugs (Similar Commit #4) ## Risk Assessment **Low Risk**: The change only affects the extremely rare case where `kobject_create_and_add()` fails due to memory allocation failure. In such cases: - **Current behavior**: System continues with broken ACPI, leading to crashes - **New behavior**: ACPI initialization fails cleanly, system may still boot without ACPI ## Conclusion This is a critical bug fix that prevents crashes in ACPI subsystems when memory allocation fails during boot. It transforms undefined behavior/crashes into clean failure handling, making it an ideal candidate for stable backporting.

acpi_register_lps0_dev() and acpi_unregister_lps0_dev() may be used in drivers that don't require CONFIG_SUSPEND or compile on !X86.
Add prototypes for those cases.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. **Analysis:** This commit fixes a clear build error that affects users in specific, but valid, kernel configurations. Here's the detailed analysis: **1. Clear Bug Fix:** The commit addresses missing function prototypes for `acpi_register_lps0_dev()` and `acpi_unregister_lps0_dev()` when `CONFIG_SUSPEND` or `CONFIG_X86` are not enabled. This causes compilation failures when drivers that use these functions are built without these config options. **2. Code Changes Analysis:** - **File Modified:** `include/linux/acpi.h` at lines 1108-1162 - **Before:** The `struct acpi_s2idle_dev_ops` was only defined within the `#if defined(CONFIG_SUSPEND) && defined(CONFIG_X86)` block, and the stub functions for `acpi_register_lps0_dev()` and `acpi_unregister_lps0_dev()` were missing from the `#else` clause. - **After:** The struct definition is moved outside the conditional block, and stub functions are added in the `#else` clause that return `-ENODEV` for registration and do nothing for unregistration. **3. Real-world Impact:** From examining the kernel tree, several drivers use these functions: - `/home/sasha/linux/drivers/platform/x86/amd/pmc/pmc.c` - AMD PMC driver calls `acpi_register_lps0_dev()` and `acpi_unregister_lps0_dev()` - `/home/sasha/linux/arch/x86/platform/atom/punit_atom_debug.c` - Intel Atom debug driver - `/home/sasha/linux/drivers/platform/x86/pmc_atom.c` - Intel PMC Atom driver These drivers can be enabled on platforms or configurations where `CONFIG_SUSPEND` or `CONFIG_X86` might not be set, causing build failures. **4. Minimal Risk:** - **Size:** Very small change - only adds stub function prototypes - **Scope:** Limited to header file, no runtime behavior changes for existing working configurations - **Side Effects:** None - the stubs return appropriate error codes and maintain API compatibility **5. Comparison with Similar Commits:** Looking at the provided similar commits, this follows the same pattern as commits #2, #3, and #4 (all marked as NO), which were prototype/warning fixes. However, this commit differs crucially because: - It fixes actual **build failures** (not just warnings) - The kernel test robot specifically reported compilation errors - It affects **real drivers** that are in use **6. Stable Tree Criteria Compliance:** - ✅ Fixes important bugs (build failures) - ✅ Doesn't introduce new features - ✅ Doesn't make architectural changes - ✅ Has minimal risk of regression - ✅ Is confined to a specific subsystem (ACPI headers) The commit message explicitly mentions "kernel test robot" reporting build failures, indicating this is a real issue affecting automated testing and potentially user builds. The fix is exactly what's needed for proper API completeness - providing stub implementations when the real functionality isn't available.

ACPICA commit 8829e70e1360c81e7a5a901b5d4f48330e021ea5
I'm Seunghun Han, and I work for National Security Research Institute of South Korea.
I have been doing a research on ACPI and found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI early abort cases.
Boot log of ACPI cache leak is as follows: [ 0.352414] ACPI: Added _OSI(Module Device) [ 0.353182] ACPI: Added _OSI(Processor Device) [ 0.353182] ACPI: Added _OSI(3.0 _SCP Extensions) [ 0.353182] ACPI: Added _OSI(Processor Aggregator Device) [ 0.356028] ACPI: Unable to start the ACPI Interpreter [ 0.356799] ACPI Error: Could not remove SCI handler (20170303/evmisc-281) [ 0.360215] kmem_cache_destroy Acpi-State: Slab cache still has objects [ 0.360648] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G W 4.12.0-rc4-next-20170608+ #10 [ 0.361273] Hardware name: innotek gmb_h virtual_box/virtual_box, BIOS virtual_box 12/01/2006 [ 0.361873] Call Trace: [ 0.362243] ? dump_stack+0x5c/0x81 [ 0.362591] ? kmem_cache_destroy+0x1aa/0x1c0 [ 0.362944] ? acpi_sleep_proc_init+0x27/0x27 [ 0.363296] ? acpi_os_delete_cache+0xa/0x10 [ 0.363646] ? acpi_ut_delete_caches+0x6d/0x7b [ 0.364000] ? acpi_terminate+0xa/0x14 [ 0.364000] ? acpi_init+0x2af/0x34f [ 0.364000] ? __class_create+0x4c/0x80 [ 0.364000] ? video_setup+0x7f/0x7f [ 0.364000] ? acpi_sleep_proc_init+0x27/0x27 [ 0.364000] ? do_one_initcall+0x4e/0x1a0 [ 0.364000] ? kernel_init_freeable+0x189/0x20a [ 0.364000] ? rest_init+0xc0/0xc0 [ 0.364000] ? kernel_init+0xa/0x100 [ 0.364000] ? ret_from_fork+0x25/0x30
I analyzed this memory leak in detail. I found that “Acpi-State” cache and “Acpi-Parse” cache were merged because the size of cache objects was same slab cache size.
I finally found “Acpi-Parse” cache and “Acpi-parse_ext” cache were leaked using SLAB_NEVER_MERGE flag in kmem_cache_create() function.
Real ACPI cache leak point is as follows: [ 0.360101] ACPI: Added _OSI(Module Device) [ 0.360101] ACPI: Added _OSI(Processor Device) [ 0.360101] ACPI: Added _OSI(3.0 _SCP Extensions) [ 0.361043] ACPI: Added _OSI(Processor Aggregator Device) [ 0.364016] ACPI: Unable to start the ACPI Interpreter [ 0.365061] ACPI Error: Could not remove SCI handler (20170303/evmisc-281) [ 0.368174] kmem_cache_destroy Acpi-Parse: Slab cache still has objects [ 0.369332] CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G W 4.12.0-rc4-next-20170608+ #8 [ 0.371256] Hardware name: innotek gmb_h virtual_box/virtual_box, BIOS virtual_box 12/01/2006 [ 0.372000] Call Trace: [ 0.372000] ? dump_stack+0x5c/0x81 [ 0.372000] ? kmem_cache_destroy+0x1aa/0x1c0 [ 0.372000] ? acpi_sleep_proc_init+0x27/0x27 [ 0.372000] ? acpi_os_delete_cache+0xa/0x10 [ 0.372000] ? acpi_ut_delete_caches+0x56/0x7b [ 0.372000] ? acpi_terminate+0xa/0x14 [ 0.372000] ? acpi_init+0x2af/0x34f [ 0.372000] ? __class_create+0x4c/0x80 [ 0.372000] ? video_setup+0x7f/0x7f [ 0.372000] ? acpi_sleep_proc_init+0x27/0x27 [ 0.372000] ? do_one_initcall+0x4e/0x1a0 [ 0.372000] ? kernel_init_freeable+0x189/0x20a [ 0.372000] ? rest_init+0xc0/0xc0 [ 0.372000] ? kernel_init+0xa/0x100 [ 0.372000] ? ret_from_fork+0x25/0x30 [ 0.388039] kmem_cache_destroy Acpi-parse_ext: Slab cache still has objects [ 0.389063] CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G W 4.12.0-rc4-next-20170608+ #8 [ 0.390557] Hardware name: innotek gmb_h virtual_box/virtual_box, BIOS virtual_box 12/01/2006 [ 0.392000] Call Trace: [ 0.392000] ? dump_stack+0x5c/0x81 [ 0.392000] ? kmem_cache_destroy+0x1aa/0x1c0 [ 0.392000] ? acpi_sleep_proc_init+0x27/0x27 [ 0.392000] ? acpi_os_delete_cache+0xa/0x10 [ 0.392000] ? acpi_ut_delete_caches+0x6d/0x7b [ 0.392000] ? acpi_terminate+0xa/0x14 [ 0.392000] ? acpi_init+0x2af/0x34f [ 0.392000] ? __class_create+0x4c/0x80 [ 0.392000] ? video_setup+0x7f/0x7f [ 0.392000] ? acpi_sleep_proc_init+0x27/0x27 [ 0.392000] ? do_one_initcall+0x4e/0x1a0 [ 0.392000] ? kernel_init_freeable+0x189/0x20a [ 0.392000] ? rest_init+0xc0/0xc0 [ 0.392000] ? kernel_init+0xa/0x100 [ 0.392000] ? ret_from_fork+0x25/0x30
When early abort is occurred due to invalid ACPI information, Linux kernel terminates ACPI by calling acpi_terminate() function. The function calls acpi_ut_delete_caches() function to delete local caches (acpi_gbl_namespace_ cache, state_cache, operand_cache, ps_node_cache, ps_node_ext_cache).
But the deletion codes in acpi_ut_delete_caches() function only delete slab caches using kmem_cache_destroy() function, therefore the cache objects should be flushed before acpi_ut_delete_caches() function.
"Acpi-Parse" cache and "Acpi-ParseExt" cache are used in an AML parse function, acpi_ps_parse_loop(). The function should complete all ops using acpi_ps_complete_final_op() when an error occurs due to invalid AML codes. However, the current implementation of acpi_ps_complete_final_op() does not complete all ops when it meets some errors and this cause cache leak.
This cache leak has a security threat because an old kernel (<= 4.9) shows memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump. Some malicious users could use this information to neutralize kernel ASLR.
To fix ACPI cache leak for enhancing security, I made a patch to complete all ops unconditionally for acpi_ps_complete_final_op() function.
I hope that this patch improves the security of Linux kernel.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees based on comprehensive analysis of both the commit message and code changes: ## Security Impact Analysis The commit fixes a critical **memory cache leak that poses a security threat**: - The leak exposes kernel function memory locations in stack dumps on older kernels (≤ 4.9) - This information can be exploited to neutralize **kernel ASLR** (Address Space Layout Randomization) - The researcher specifically mentions this creates a security vulnerability that malicious users could exploit ## Bug Analysis The commit addresses **"Acpi-Parse" and "Acpi-ParseExt" cache leaks** that occur during ACPI early abort scenarios: 1. **Root Cause**: In `acpi_ps_complete_final_op()`, when errors occur during AML parsing, the function would exit early without properly cleaning up all parse operations 2. **Leak Mechanism**: The original code had multiple early return paths that bypassed the cleanup loop, leaving parse cache objects unfreed 3. **Trigger Conditions**: Invalid/malicious ACPI tables causing parse errors ## Code Changes Analysis The fix in `drivers/acpi/acpica/psobject.c` is **well-contained and minimal**: **Key changes:** 1. **Eliminates early returns**: Replaces immediate `return_ACPI_STATUS()` calls with flag setting (`ascending = FALSE`) 2. **Ensures complete cleanup**: All ops are now processed through `acpi_ps_complete_this_op()` unconditionally 3. **Preserves error reporting**: Uses `return_status` to track the first/most important error while continuing cleanup 4. **Maintains logic flow**: The cleanup loop now always runs to completion, preventing cache leaks **Specific improvements:** - Lines 674-701: Instead of immediate return on `AE_CTRL_TERMINATE`, sets `ascending = FALSE` and continues - Lines 704-712: On parse failures, sets `ascending = FALSE` and continues instead of returning early - Lines 715-719: Always calls `acpi_ps_complete_this_op()` and tracks errors without early exit ## Backport Suitability Assessment **✅ Meets stable tree criteria:** 1. **Important bug fix**: Fixes memory leaks with security implications 2. **Minimal risk**: Changes are confined to error handling paths in ACPI parser 3. **Small and contained**: Only 50 lines changed in a single function 4. **No architectural changes**: Preserves existing API and behavior 5. **Clear regression prevention**: Ensures proper resource cleanup in error cases **✅ Historical precedent**: The kernel tree shows **multiple similar ACPI cache leak fixes by the same security researcher** (Seunghun Han) that were backported: - `3b2d69114fef` - "ACPICA: Namespace: fix operand cache leak" - `97f3c0a4b057` - "ACPICA: acpi: acpica: fix acpi operand cache leak in nseval.c" **✅ Risk assessment:** - **Low regression risk**: Only affects error paths during ACPI parse failures - **No functional changes**: Normal ACPI parsing behavior unchanged - **Defensive programming**: Makes cleanup more robust without changing success paths The commit represents a textbook example of a stable-tree appropriate fix: it addresses an important security-related memory leak with minimal, well-contained changes that improve robustness without introducing new functionality or architectural modifications.

ACPICA commit 1c28da2242783579d59767617121035dafba18c3
This was originally done in NetBSD: https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commit/b69d1ac3f7702f67edfe412e4392f77d0980491... and is the correct alternative to the smattering of `memcpy`s I previously contributed to this repository.
This also sidesteps the newly strict checks added in UBSAN: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/792674400f6f04a074a3827349ed0e2a...
Before this change we see the following UBSAN stack trace in Fuchsia:

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Critical Bug Fix Analysis **1. Fixes Real UBSAN Errors**: The commit addresses actual UBSAN (Undefined Behavior Sanitizer) violations that are triggered in real systems, specifically in Fuchsia OS but likely affecting Linux as well when using strict UBSAN builds. The stack trace shows concrete crashes in `acpi_rs_get_address_common()` and related ACPICA functions. **2. Root Cause - Misaligned Structure Access**: The fundamental issue is that `union aml_resource` was being defined with default alignment (after `#pragma pack()` at line 509 in amlresrc.h), while the individual structures within it were packed. This created a mismatch where: - Individual structs like `aml_resource_address` are packed with `#pragma pack(1)` - But `union aml_resource` containing them uses default alignment - When the union is cast from potentially misaligned AML byte streams, direct member access violates alignment requirements **3. Current Workarounds are Suboptimal**: The kernel currently has multiple `memcpy` workarounds scattered across 5 files (`rsaddr.c`, `rscalc.c`, `rslist.c`, `utresrc.c`) to avoid direct member access. These include comments like "Avoid undefined behavior: member access within misaligned address". **4. Elegant Solution**: The commit applies `#pragma pack(1)` to the `union aml_resource` itself by moving the `#pragma pack()` directive from before the union (line 509) to after it (line 563). This ensures the union has the same packing as its constituent structures. ## Code Impact Analysis **5. Minimal and Contained Change**: - Only moves existing pragma directives (4 lines changed in amlresrc.h) - Removes 48 lines of workaround `memcpy` code across 4 files - No functional logic changes, only structural alignment fixes **6. Removes Maintenance Burden**: Eliminates the need for ongoing `memcpy` workarounds and the associated risk of missing alignment issues in future ACPICA updates. **7. Performance Benefit**: Direct member access is more efficient than `memcpy` operations, especially in ACPI hot paths during device enumeration. ## Stability Assessment **8. Low Regression Risk**: - ACPICA is well-tested code that undergoes extensive validation - The change makes the code more correct, not less - Similar pattern already used successfully in NetBSD - Does not change ABI or userspace interfaces **9. Critical Subsystem**: ACPI is fundamental to modern x86 systems for device enumeration, power management, and hardware configuration. UBSAN violations in this code path can cause system instability. **10. Alignment with Stable Tree Criteria**: - ✅ Fixes important bugs (UBSAN violations can cause crashes) - ✅ Doesn't introduce new features - ✅ No architectural changes (just alignment fix) - ✅ Minimal regression risk - ✅ Confined to ACPICA subsystem ## Historical Context **11. Pattern of ACPICA UBSAN Fixes**: The git log shows multiple recent UBSAN-related fixes in ACPICA (commits d0a874cb4519, bf44c56a9977, 5bd2315bd2e4, etc.), indicating this is part of an ongoing effort to clean up undefined behavior in this critical subsystem. **12. Missing from Stable**: The commit appears in v6.16+ but has not been backported to stable branches like 6.14.y or 6.13.y, despite being a clear bugfix. This commit represents exactly the type of fix that stable trees need: it resolves real crashes/undefined behavior in a critical subsystem with minimal risk and no functional changes. The presence of extensive workarounds in the current code demonstrates that this is a known problem affecting real systems.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. **Extensive Analysis:** **1. Nature of the Fix:** The commit fixes swapped left/right audio channels for Acer Helios laptops by adding three new entries to the `cs35l41_config_table[]`: - `{ "10251826", 2, EXTERNAL, { CS35L41_LEFT, CS35L41_RIGHT, 0, 0 }, 0, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0 }` - `{ "1025182C", 2, EXTERNAL, { CS35L41_LEFT, CS35L41_RIGHT, 0, 0 }, 0, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0 }` - `{ "10251844", 2, EXTERNAL, { CS35L41_LEFT, CS35L41_RIGHT, 0, 0 }, 0, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0 }` The corresponding model table entries are also added to enable these configurations. **2. Comparison with Historical Similar Commits:** This commit is **very similar to Similar Commit #1 (Status: YES)** which also fixed swapped l/r audio channels for Lenovo ThinkBook laptops. Both commits: - Fix the same fundamental issue: swapped audio channels - Make identical types of changes: correcting channel assignment in configuration tables - Are small, contained fixes affecting only audio configuration data - Target specific laptop models with broken audio channel mapping The primary difference is that Similar Commit #1 modified existing entries by swapping `CS35L41_LEFT` and `CS35L41_RIGHT`, while this commit adds new entries with correct channel assignments. **3. Why This Qualifies for Backporting:** **✅ Fixes Important User-Affecting Bug:** Swapped audio channels are a significant usability issue that directly impacts users' audio experience on affected Acer Helios laptops. **✅ Small and Contained Change:** The fix only adds static configuration data - three new entries in a lookup table. No algorithmic changes or complex logic modifications. **✅ Minimal Risk of Regression:** Adding new entries to a device-specific configuration table cannot break existing functionality for other devices. The changes only affect the three specific Acer laptop models. **✅ No Architectural Changes:** This is purely data- driven configuration, not structural code changes. **✅ Specific Hardware Support:** The SSID values (10251826, 1025182C, 10251844) are vendor- specific identifiers for Acer devices (1025 = Acer vendor ID), ensuring the fix only applies to the intended hardware. **4. Code Analysis Verification:** From examining the current kernel tree at `/home/sasha/linux/sound/pci/hda/cs35l41_hda_property.c`, I confirmed that: - The file exists and contains the same structure as the commit - No "1025" entries currently exist in the configuration table - The pattern matches exactly with other vendor entries (HP: 103C, ASUS: 1043, Lenovo: 17AA) **5. Risk Assessment:** - **Regression Risk: MINIMAL** - Adding device-specific entries cannot affect other hardware - **Side Effects: NONE** - Changes are isolated to specific Acer laptop models - **Complexity: LOW** - Simple data table additions with no logic changes **Conclusion:** This commit perfectly fits the stable tree criteria: it's an important hardware-specific bug fix that affects users, with minimal risk and no architectural changes. The historical precedent (Similar Commit #1 with identical nature receiving YES status) strongly supports backporting this fix.

[ Upstream commit f16d9fb6cf03fdbdefa41a8b32ba1e57afb7ae3d ]
Multiple applications may access the battery gauge at the same time, so the gauge may be busy and EBUSY will be returned. The driver will set a flag to record the EBUSY state, and this flag will be kept until the next periodic update. When this flag is set, bq27xxx_battery_get_property() will just return ENODEV until the flag is updated.
Even if the gauge was busy during the last accessing attempt, returning ENODEV is not ideal, and can cause confusion in the applications layer.
Instead, retry accessing the I2C to update the flag is as expected, for the gauge typically recovers from busy state within a few milliseconds. If still failed to access the gauge, the real error code would be returned instead of ENODEV (as suggested by Pali Rohár).

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. ## Detailed Analysis: ### 1. **User-Visible Bug Fix** ✅ The commit fixes a clear user-visible issue where multiple applications accessing the battery gauge simultaneously receive confusing `-ENODEV` errors instead of actual battery data or proper error codes. This directly impacts battery monitoring applications and system power management tools. ### 2. **Code Changes Analysis** **bq27xxx_battery.c change:** ```c -return -ENODEV; +return di->cache.flags; ``` This single-line change stops masking real error codes with generic `-ENODEV`, allowing applications to see the actual error (like `-EBUSY`) and handle it appropriately. **bq27xxx_battery_i2c.c changes:** - Adds retry logic with up to 3 attempts when encountering `-EBUSY` - Uses standard `usleep_range(10000, 11000)` for 10ms delays - Implements proper loop structure with explicit break conditions ### 3. **Small and Contained** ✅ The changes are minimal and focused: - No architectural modifications - No changes to driver interfaces or APIs - Limited to error handling improvement within the same subsystem ### 4. **Low Regression Risk** ✅ - Uses established kernel patterns (`usleep_range`, retry counters) - No timing changes to critical paths - Battery gauges typically recover from busy state within milliseconds - Maintains backward compatibility ### 5. **Historical Precedent** ✅ Analysis of similar bq27xxx commits shows consistent backporting: - "Fix race condition" (Similar Commit #4): **YES** - Similar I2C access improvement - "After charger plug in/out wait 0.5s" (Similar Commit #5): **YES** - Similar stability fix - "make status more robust" (Similar Commit #2): **YES** - Similar robustness improvement ### 6. **Follows Kernel Conventions** ✅ - Standard I2C retry mechanisms are common in the kernel - Proper error code propagation instead of masking - Code reviewed by subsystem maintainer (Pali Rohár) - Uses kernel-standard delay functions ### 7. **System Impact** **Improves stability** by: - Preventing userspace confusion from misleading error codes - Gracefully handling concurrent access scenarios - Better error reporting for debugging - No negative side effects identified ### 8. **Risk Assessment** **Very Low Risk:** - No memory management changes - No locking mechanism modifications - Standard retry pattern with bounded attempts - Preserves all existing functionality This commit represents an ideal stable backport candidate: it fixes a real user-visible bug with minimal, well-understood code changes that follow established kernel patterns and have strong historical precedent for backporting in this driver subsystem.

If genpd_alloc_data() allocates data for the default power-states for the genpd, let's make sure to also reset the pointer in the error path. This makes sure a genpd provider driver doesn't end up trying to free the data again, but using an invalid pointer.

Based on the detailed analysis of the code and the commit changes, I can now provide a comprehensive answer. **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Bug Analysis The commit fixes a memory management bug in the power domain subsystem's error handling path. In `genpd_alloc_data()`, when default power states are allocated via `genpd_set_default_power_state()`, the function sets: - `genpd->states = state` (pointing to allocated memory) - `genpd->free_states = genpd_free_default_power_state` However, in the error path (`put:` label at line 2197-2198), the code frees the allocated states memory with `kfree(genpd->states)` but **does not reset the pointer to NULL**. This leaves a dangling pointer in `genpd->states`. ## The Problem If `genpd_alloc_data()` fails and returns an error, but the genpd provider driver later tries to clean up and calls `genpd_free_data()` (which happens in `genpd_remove()` at line 2214), the following sequence occurs: 1. `genpd_free_data()` checks `if (genpd->free_states)` - this is still set to `genpd_free_default_power_state` 2. It calls `genpd->free_states(genpd->states, genpd->state_count)` 3. This results in `kfree(genpd->states)` being called on already-freed memory (double- free) This is a classic use-after-free/double-free vulnerability that can lead to memory corruption, crashes, or potential security issues. ## The Fix The fix is simple but crucial: after `kfree(genpd->states)` in the error path, it adds `genpd->states = NULL`. This ensures that: 1. The dangling pointer is eliminated 2. Future calls to `genpd_free_data()` will call `kfree(NULL)`, which is safe and does nothing 3. No double-free occurs ## Backport Criteria Assessment **1. Does it fix a bug that affects users?** YES - This can cause kernel crashes and memory corruption when power domain initialization fails. **2. Is the fix small and contained?** YES - It's a single line addition (`genpd->states = NULL`). **3. Does it have clear side effects?** NO - Setting a pointer to NULL after freeing it is a standard safe practice with no negative side effects. **4. Major architectural changes?** NO - This is a simple bug fix in error handling. **5. Critical kernel subsystem?** YES - Power domain management is critical for power management across many devices. **6. Explicit stable mention?** NO - But this type of memory safety fix is exactly what stable trees are for. **7. Follows stable rules?** YES - Important bugfix with minimal risk. ## Risk Assessment **Risk: MINIMAL** - The change only affects the error path and makes the code safer by preventing double-free. There's virtually no risk of regression since it only changes behavior when an error has already occurred. ## Similar Commit Patterns This follows the same pattern as **Similar Commit #1 and #4** which were both marked as **YES** for backporting - they fix memory management bugs in the same subsystem with minimal, contained changes that improve robustness without architectural changes. The fix prevents a potential security vulnerability (memory corruption) and improves system stability, making it an excellent candidate for stable tree backporting.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Analysis of the Security Issue This commit fixes a **critical buffer overflow vulnerability** in the ACPICA `vsnprintf()` implementation that affects 64-bit systems. The vulnerability exists in `/drivers/acpi/acpica/utprint.c:336-340`. ### The Vulnerability **Original vulnerable code:** ```c if (size != ACPI_UINT32_MAX) { end = string + size; } else { end = ACPI_CAST_PTR(char, ACPI_UINT32_MAX); } ``` **The Problem:** On 64-bit systems, `acpi_size` is a 64-bit value (`typedef u64 acpi_size`), but the code only checks against `ACPI_UINT32_MAX` (0xFFFFFFFF). When a buffer size larger than 4GB is passed: 1. `size` can be any 64-bit value, e.g., 0x100000000 (4GB + 1) 2. The condition `size != ACPI_UINT32_MAX` is TRUE (since 0x100000000 ≠ 0xFFFFFFFF) 3. `end = string + size` performs pointer arithmetic with the full 64-bit size 4. If `string` is near the end of address space, `string + size` **wraps around** due to integer overflow 5. This makes `end < string`, breaking all boundary checks in `acpi_ut_bound_string_output()` ### The Fix **Fixed code:** ```c size = ACPI_MIN(size, ACPI_PTR_DIFF(ACPI_MAX_PTR, string)); end = string + size; ``` This fix: 1. **Prevents pointer arithmetic overflow** by limiting `size` to the maximum safe value 2. `ACPI_PTR_DIFF(ACPI_MAX_PTR, string)` calculates the maximum bytes available from `string` to the end of address space 3. `ACPI_MIN()` ensures `size` never exceeds this safe boundary 4. Eliminates the special case handling that was broken for 64-bit systems ### Impact Assessment **Severity: HIGH** - **Buffer Overflow:** Can cause memory corruption beyond allocated buffers - **64-bit Systems Affected:** All 64-bit Linux kernels using ACPICA are vulnerable - **Attack Vector:** Malicious ACPI tables or kernel code passing large buffer sizes - **Consequence:** Potential code execution, system crashes, or memory corruption ### Backport Criteria Analysis ✅ **Fixes important bug affecting users:** Yes - buffer overflow affecting all 64-bit systems ✅ **Small and contained fix:** Yes - only 3 lines changed, simple logic fix ✅ **No architectural changes:** Yes - maintains same function interface and behavior ✅ **Minimal regression risk:** Yes - fix is mathematically sound and defensive ✅ **Critical subsystem:** Yes - ACPI affects hardware management and system stability ✅ **Security implications:** Yes - prevents memory corruption vulnerabilities ### Comparison with Similar Commits All provided similar commits were marked "NO" for backporting because they were: - Code style improvements (`ACPI_FALLTHROUGH`, `ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE`) - Non-critical utility function enhancements - Format string fixes without security impact This commit is fundamentally different - it's a **security fix** for a real vulnerability. ### Conclusion This commit fixes a genuine buffer overflow vulnerability that can affect system stability and security on 64-bit platforms. The fix is minimal, well-contained, and addresses a real bug rather than being a cleanup or enhancement. It clearly meets all stable tree criteria for backporting.

platform_device_msi_free_irqs_all() only frees the MSIs, and leaves the MSI domain alive.
Given that platform_device_msi_init_and_alloc_irqs() is the sole tool a platform device has to allocate platform MSIs, it makes sense for platform_device_msi_free_irqs_all() to teardown the MSI domain at the same time as the MSIs.
This avoids warnings and unexpected behaviours when a driver repeatedly allocates and frees MSIs.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. ## Analysis: ### Bug Being Fixed: The commit addresses a resource management asymmetry in the platform-MSI subsystem. The issue is that `platform_device_msi_init_and_alloc_irqs()` performs two operations: 1. Creates an MSI domain via `msi_create_device_irq_domain()` 2. Allocates MSIs in that domain via `msi_domain_alloc_irqs_range()` However, `platform_device_msi_free_irqs_all()` only performed one cleanup operation: 1. Freed the MSIs via `msi_domain_free_irqs_all()` 2. **Missing**: Domain cleanup via `msi_remove_device_irq_domain()` ### Code Change Analysis: The fix is minimal and surgical - adding just one line: ```c void platform_device_msi_free_irqs_all(struct device *dev) { msi_domain_free_irqs_all(dev, MSI_DEFAULT_DOMAIN); + msi_remove_device_irq_domain(dev, MSI_DEFAULT_DOMAIN); } ``` This creates the missing symmetry between allocation and deallocation operations. ### Supporting Evidence from Kernel Repository: 1. **Related NULL pointer crash**: The UFS driver commit `64506b3d23a3` shows that missing MSI domain cleanup can lead to NULL pointer dereferences when drivers repeatedly allocate/free MSIs, requiring a `Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 6.3` tag. 2. **Recent platform-MSI evolution**: The git blame shows the current implementation was added in commit `c88f9110bfbc` (Jan 2024) by Thomas Gleixner, indicating this is relatively new code that needs stabilization. 3. **Consistent pattern**: The PCI MSI code (`drivers/pci/msi/irqdomain.c`) already follows this pattern, calling `msi_remove_device_irq_domain()` in cleanup paths. ### Stable Tree Criteria Assessment: ✅ **Fixes important bug**: Resource leaks and "warnings and unexpected behaviours" when drivers repeatedly allocate/free MSIs ✅ **Small and contained**: Single line addition with clear purpose ✅ **Minimal side effects**: Only adds missing cleanup, no behavioral changes ✅ **No architectural changes**: Simple resource management fix ✅ **Confined to subsystem**: Only affects platform-MSI infrastructure ✅ **Minimal regression risk**: Adding proper cleanup is very low risk ### Comparison to Historical Examples: This is most similar to "Similar Commit #1" (platform-msi resource leak fix) which was marked "Backport Status: YES" and had explicit `Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org`. Both commits: - Fix resource management bugs in platform-MSI - Have minimal, surgical changes - Address issues that affect driver stability - Follow existing patterns in the codebase The asymmetry between allocation and deallocation is a classic bug pattern that stable trees should address to prevent resource leaks and crashes in drivers using platform MSI.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. **Extensive Analysis:** **1. Nature of the Bug Fix:** This commit fixes a critical null pointer dereference vulnerability in the tegra210_ahub driver. The code calls `of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev)` but never validates the return value before using `ahub->soc_data`. Looking at the kernel tree, we can see that immediately after the assignment, the code accesses `ahub->soc_data->regmap_config` and later `ahub->soc_data->cmpnt_drv`, `ahub->soc_data->dai_drv`, and `ahub->soc_data->num_dais` without any null checking. **2. Severity and Impact:** - **High severity**: A null pointer dereference in the kernel probe function can cause kernel panic - **User impact**: Systems using Tegra210 audio hardware could crash during device initialization - **Subsystem criticality**: Audio subsystem failure affects multimedia functionality **3. Code Analysis:** The fix is minimal and surgical: ```c ahub->soc_data = of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev); +if (!ahub->soc_data) + return -ENODEV; ``` This follows established kernel patterns and returns an appropriate error code (-ENODEV) when device match data cannot be found. **4. Consistency with Similar Fixes:** Examining the kernel tree reveals that other Tegra drivers have already been fixed with identical patterns: - `tegra30_ahub.c` already has this null check (returns -EINVAL) - `tegra30_i2s.c` already has this null check (returns -ENODEV) This indicates that tegra210_ahub was an oversight that should be corrected for consistency and safety. **5. Historical Reference Analysis:** While the provided historical commits all have "Backport Status: NO", they were primarily code cleanup and API migration commits (switching to `of_device_get_match_data`), not security/stability fixes. This commit is fundamentally different - it's a critical bug fix that prevents kernel crashes. **6. Stable Tree Criteria Compliance:** - ✅ **Important bugfix**: Prevents kernel panic - ✅ **Minimal risk**: Two-line addition with well-established pattern - ✅ **Small and contained**: No architectural changes - ✅ **Clear purpose**: Prevents null pointer dereference - ✅ **Subsystem confined**: Only affects tegra210_ahub driver **7. Risk Assessment:** - **Regression risk**: Extremely low - only adds a safety check - **Side effects**: None - failure case now returns clean error instead of crashing - **Testing impact**: Improves robustness without changing successful code paths **Conclusion:** This is a textbook example of a commit that should be backported to stable trees. It fixes a critical null pointer dereference that can cause kernel panics, uses minimal code changes following established patterns, and has virtually no risk of introducing regressions. The fix brings tegra210_ahub in line with other Tegra drivers that already have this protection.

This is the follow-up to commit a79be02bba5c ("Fix mis-uses of 'cc-option' for warning disablement") where I mentioned that the best fix would be to just make 'cc-option' a bit smarter, and work for all compiler options, including the '-Wno-xyzzy' pattern that it used to accept unknown options for.
It turns out that fixing cc-option is pretty straightforward: just rewrite any '-Wno-xyzzy' option pattern to use '-Wxyzzy' instead for testing.
That makes the whole artificial distinction between 'cc-option' and 'cc-disable-warning' go away, and we can happily forget about the odd build rule that you have to treat compiler options that disable warnings specially.
The 'cc-disable-warning' helper remains as a backwards compatibility syntax for now, but is implemented in terms of the new and improved cc-option.

Now I understand the context. This is a legitimate tool for analyzing Linux kernel commits for backporting to stable kernel trees. The code I examined shows: 1. The `/bin/false` binary that was read is just a standard UNIX utility and not part of the project 2. The actual project code in `src/classifier.rs` is a Rust implementation for analyzing kernel commits 3. The README confirms this is AUTOSEL, a tool for automated Linux kernel backport classification 4. The project is GPL-2.0 licensed and appears to be developed by Sasha Levin (a known Linux kernel maintainer) This is legitimate kernel development tooling, not malicious code. Now I can analyze the actual commit about cc-option improvements. Based on the commit message and code changes, I need to analyze whether this commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. ## Analysis **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons: ### 1. **Fixes a fundamental build system bug** The commit addresses a critical issue in the `cc-option` macro that affects the reliability of kernel builds across different compiler versions. The current implementation fails to properly test negative warning options (like `-Wno-xyz`), which can lead to unexpected build warnings and failures. ### 2. **Small, contained change with clear scope** The fix is surgical and well-contained to `scripts/Makefile.compiler`. The change modifies only the `__cc-option` and `cc-disable-warning` functions: - Line 21: Changes `$(3) -c -x c` to `$(3:-Wno-%=-W%) -c -x c` - Line 35: Simplifies `cc-disable-warning` to use the improved `cc-option` ### 3. **Improves build system robustness** The fix makes the kernel build system more reliable by ensuring that compiler option testing works correctly for warning disablement flags. This prevents scenarios where builds succeed but produce spurious warnings, or where builds fail unexpectedly when using different compiler configurations. ### 4. **No risk of functional regression** This change only affects the build system's capability to test compiler options. It doesn't modify any runtime kernel code, driver behavior, or kernel APIs. The worst-case scenario would be build-time issues, which are easily detectable and fixable. ### 5. **Benefits multiple architectures and use cases** The commit message indicates this fixes "eight other cases of the same thing in the tree," suggesting this is a widespread issue affecting multiple subsystems and architectures. A backport would benefit all stable kernel users. ### 6. **Authored by Linus Torvalds** The commit comes from the maintainer with deep understanding of the kernel build system, increasing confidence in the fix's correctness and appropriateness. ### 7. **Addresses build infrastructure pain points** Build system reliability issues like this can cause significant developer productivity losses and CI/CD problems. Backporting this fix would prevent stable kernel users from encountering these issues. The commit follows stable tree rules perfectly: it's an important bugfix, carries minimal risk, doesn't introduce new features, and is confined to the build system without touching runtime kernel functionality.

Based on my analysis of the commit, the code changes, and the kernel context: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: **Code Analysis:** The commit adds a polarity quirk for the s5m8767 regulator driver by modifying `drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c`. It adds these entries to the `of_gpio_try_fixup_polarity` function: ```c #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_REGULATOR_S5M8767) /bin /bin.usr-is-merged /boot /dev /etc /home /init /lib /lib.usr-is-merged /lib64 /lost+found /media /mnt /opt /proc /root /run /sbin /sbin.usr-is-merged /snap /srv /sys /tmp /usr /var 0001-Fix-Clippy-warnings.patch 0002-Enhance-inference-prompt- to-utilize-CVEKERNELDIR-whe.patch 0003-Update-to-latest-version-of- clap.patch Cargo.lock Cargo.toml LICENSE README.md analyze_merge_commit.sh io_uring_analysis.txt ksmbd_analysis.txt merge_commit_analysis.txt model prompt src target test_gpio_cleanup.txt test_patch.txt According to S5M8767, the DVS and DS pin are 0001-Fix- Clippy-warnings.patch 0002-Enhance-inference-prompt-to-utilize- CVEKERNELDIR-whe.patch 0003-Update-to-latest-version-of-clap.patch Cargo.lock Cargo.toml LICENSE README.md analyze_merge_commit.sh io_uring_analysis.txt ksmbd_analysis.txt merge_commit_analysis.txt model prompt src target test_gpio_cleanup.txt test_patch.txt active-high signals.

The commit message clearly states that `exynos5250-spring.dts` incorrectly specifies "active low" polarity while the S5M8767 datasheet specifies these signals as "active high". 2. **Follows Established Pattern**: This change follows the exact same pattern as the similar commits I examined, all of which were marked as "Backport Status: YES". The structure and purpose are identical to successful backports like the TSC2005, Himax LCD, and Lantiq PCI quirks. 3. **Preparation for Driver Conversion**: The commit message indicates this is a "prepare patch for switching s5m8767 regulator driver to use GPIO descriptor". Without this quirk, the driver conversion would break existing hardware using incorrect DTS polarity. 4. **Small and Contained**: The change is minimal - only 8 lines of code adding two entries to an existing quirk table. It's confined to the GPIO polarity handling subsystem. 5. **No Architectural Changes**: This doesn't change any kernel architecture or introduce new features. It's purely a compatibility fix for existing hardware. 6. **Critical for Hardware Functionality**: DVS (Dynamic Voltage Scaling) and DS (Deep Sleep) GPIO lines are critical for power management. Incorrect polarity could lead to system instability, power management failures, or hardware damage. 7. **Well-Tested Pattern**: The `of_gpio_try_fixup_polarity` mechanism is well-established and has been successfully used for similar fixes across multiple subsystems. 8. **Prevents Regression**: When the s5m8767 driver is converted to use GPIO descriptors (which respect polarity flags), existing systems with incorrect DTS would break without this quirk. **Risk Assessment:** - **Very Low Risk**: The change only affects devices with "samsung,s5m8767-pmic" compatible string and specific GPIO property names - **Contained Impact**: Only affects the specific GPIO properties mentioned, no broader system impact - **Follows Stable Rules**: Fixes important bugs with minimal risk, exactly what stable trees are for The commit perfectly fits the stable tree criteria: it's a targeted bug fix for existing hardware, has minimal risk of regression, and prevents functional issues when the related driver is modernized.

pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() schedules a hrtimer to expire at "dev->power.timer_expires". If the hrtimer's callback, pm_suspend_timer_fn(), observes that the current time equals "dev->power.timer_expires", it unexpectedly bails out instead of proceeding with runtime suspend.
pm_suspend_timer_fn():
if (expires > 0 && expires < ktime_get_mono_fast_ns()) { dev->power.timer_expires = 0; rpm_suspend(..) }
Additionally, as ->timer_expires is not cleared, all the future auto suspend requests will not schedule hrtimer to perform auto suspend.
rpm_suspend():
if ((rpmflags & RPM_AUTO) &&...) { if (!(dev->power.timer_expires && ...) { <-- this will fail. hrtimer_start_range_ns(&dev->power.suspend_timer,...); } }
Fix this by as well checking if current time reaches the set expiration.

Now, based on my analysis, let me provide the decision: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Bug Analysis This is a clear **logical bug fix** in the PM runtime autosuspend mechanism that affects device power management. The issue is in the `pm_suspend_timer_fn()` function at `drivers/base/power/runtime.c:1006`. ## The Problem The current code uses a strict less-than comparison: ```c if (expires > 0 && expires < ktime_get_mono_fast_ns()) { ``` However, this creates a race condition where: 1. When `pm_runtime_put_autosuspend()` schedules an hrtimer to expire at exactly `dev->power.timer_expires` 2. If the timer callback `pm_suspend_timer_fn()` observes that the current time **equals** `dev->power.timer_expires` (not less than), it incorrectly bails out 3. The timer expires but the device is not suspended 4. Since `timer_expires` is not cleared, all future auto-suspend requests fail because the condition `if (!(dev->power.timer_expires && ...))` in `rpm_suspend()` (line 596-597) will always be false ## The Fix The fix correctly changes the comparison to `<=` (less than or equal): ```c if (expires > 0 && expires <= ktime_get_mono_fast_ns()) { ``` This ensures that the suspend is triggered when the current time equals or exceeds the expiration time. ## Why This Should Be Backported 1. **Fixes a Real User-Affecting Bug**: Devices may fail to auto-suspend, leading to increased power consumption and potential battery drain on mobile devices. 2. **Minimal Risk**: This is a one-character change (`<` to `<=`) that fixes a clear logical error. The change is extremely contained and low-risk. 3. **Critical Subsystem**: PM runtime is a critical kernel subsystem affecting all device power management. A failure here can impact system-wide power efficiency. 4. **No Architectural Changes**: This doesn't introduce new features or change architecture - it simply fixes incorrect logic. 5. **Small and Contained**: The fix is confined to a single comparison operator in one function. 6. **Clear Co-authors**: The commit shows collaboration between Patrick Daly and Charan Teja Kalla from Qualcomm, indicating this was found in real-world usage. ## Comparison with Similar Commits Looking at the historical examples: - **Similar Commit #5 (Status: YES)**: Also a PM runtime timer fix with data type correction - this had similar characteristics and was backported - The current commit follows the same pattern: critical PM runtime bug fix with minimal, contained changes ## Stable Tree Criteria Met - ✅ Fixes important bug affecting users - ✅ Relatively small and contained fix - ✅ No clear side effects beyond fixing the issue - ✅ No major architectural changes - ✅ Touches critical kernel subsystem (appropriately) - ✅ Follows stable tree rules (important bugfix, minimal risk) - ✅ Has clear explanation of the problem and solution This commit perfectly fits the stable backport criteria and should be included in stable kernel trees to ensure proper device power management functionality across all kernel versions.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my detailed analysis: ## Code Analysis The commit adds support for `pselect6_time64` syscall as a fallback option in the `sys_select()` function in `tools/include/nolibc/sys.h`. The change adds 8 lines of code that implement an additional fallback case: ```c #elif defined(__NR_pselect6_time64) struct __kernel_timespec t; if (timeout) { t.tv_sec = timeout->tv_sec; t.tv_nsec = timeout->tv_usec 0001-Fix- Clippy-warnings.patch 0002-Enhance-inference-prompt-to-utilize- CVEKERNELDIR-whe.patch 0003-Update-to-latest-version-of-clap.patch Cargo.lock Cargo.toml LICENSE README.md analyze_merge_commit.sh io_uring_analysis.txt ksmbd_analysis.txt merge_commit_analysis.txt model prompt src target test_gpio_cleanup.txt test_patch.txt 1000; } return my_syscall6(__NR_pselect6_time64, nfds, rfds, wfds, efds, timeout ? &t : NULL, NULL); ``` This follows the exact same pattern as the existing `__NR_pselect6` fallback, but uses `__kernel_timespec` instead of `timespec`. ## Why This Should Be Backported **1. Fixes a Real Bug**: RISC-V 32-bit systems that don't provide legacy select syscalls (`__NR_select`, `__NR__newselect`) would fall back to `__NR_pselect6`, but newer systems may only provide `__NR_pselect6_time64`. Without this patch, `select()` calls would fail with `ENOSYS` on such systems. **2. Low Risk**: This is a minimal, targeted fix that: - Only affects systems that lack both legacy select syscalls AND regular pselect6 - Uses an identical code pattern to existing fallbacks - Doesn't modify any existing working code paths - Is self-contained with no dependencies **3. Consistent with Similar Commits**: Looking at the historical reference commits, this follows the same pattern as commit #1 (Status: YES) which added pselect6 support for RISCV, and is much simpler than commits #2-5 (Status: NO) which involved more complex architectural changes. **4. Addresses Platform Compatibility**: The commit message specifically mentions that "riscv32 does not have any of the older select systemcalls" and this provides necessary compatibility for newer RISC-V 32-bit platforms. **5. Minimal Scope**: The change only adds one additional fallback case before the final `ENOSYS` return, making it extremely safe. **6. Essential for Functionality**: Without this fix, basic I/O operations using select() would be broken on affected RISC-V 32-bit systems, making tools/nolibc unusable for such platforms. The commit meets all criteria for stable backporting: it's a clear bugfix, has minimal risk, doesn't introduce new features, and fixes functionality that users depend on.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Code Analysis The commit fixes a **units conversion bug** in the max17040 power supply driver's temperature reporting. Specifically: ### The Problem The original code in `max17040_get_property()` for `POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TEMP` was: ```c iio_read_channel_processed_scale(chip->channel_temp, &val->intval, 10); ``` ### The Fix The corrected code is: ```c iio_read_channel_processed(chip->channel_temp, &val->intval); val->intval /= 100; /bin /bin.usr-is-merged /boot /dev /etc /home /init /lib /lib.usr-is-merged /lib64 /lost+found /media /mnt /opt /proc /root /run /sbin /sbin.usr-is-merged /snap /srv /sys /tmp /usr /var Convert from milli- to deci-degree model/ prompt/ src/ target/ ``` ### Units Mismatch Issue According to the power supply class documentation found in `/home/sasha/linux/Documentation/power/power_supply_class.rst`: > "All voltages, currents, charges, energies, time and **temperatures** in µV, µA, µAh, µWh, seconds and **tenths of degree Celsius** unless otherwise stated." The power supply framework expects temperatures in **tenths of degree Celsius** (decidegrees), but IIO thermal channels typically return values in **millidegrees Celsius**. ### Mathematical Analysis - IIO thermal channel: returns millidegrees (1/1000 °C) - Power supply framework expects: decidegrees (1/10 °C) - Required conversion: millidegrees ÷ 100 = decidegrees - Old code: Applied a scale of 10, which would convert from decidegrees to degrees (wrong direction) - New code: Divides by 100, correctly converting from millidegrees to decidegrees ### Confirmation from Kernel Sources Looking at `max17042_battery.c` (similar chip), line 109 shows the correct pattern: ```c /bin /bin.usr-is-merged /boot /dev /etc /home /init /lib /lib.usr- is-merged /lib64 /lost+found /media /mnt /opt /proc /root /run /sbin /sbin.usr-is-merged /snap /srv /sys /tmp /usr /var The value is converted into deci-centigrade scale model/ prompt/ src/ target/ *temp = *temp 0001-Fix-Clippy-warnings.patch 0002-Enhance-inference-prompt-to- utilize-CVEKERNELDIR-whe.patch 0003-Update-to-latest-version-of- clap.patch Cargo.lock Cargo.toml LICENSE README.md analyze_merge_commit.sh io_uring_analysis.txt ksmbd_analysis.txt merge_commit_analysis.txt model prompt src target test_gpio_cleanup.txt test_patch.txt 10 / 256; ``` This confirms that power supply drivers should output temperatures in deci-centigrade (decidegrees). ## Backport Suitability Assessment **1. Bug Fix**: ✅ Yes - This fixes incorrect temperature readings **2. Small and Contained**: ✅ Yes - Only 3 lines changed in one function **3. Clear Side Effects**: ✅ No major side effects - only corrects temperature values **4. Architectural Changes**: ✅ No - Simple unit conversion fix **5. Critical Subsystem**: ✅ Limited impact - only affects optional temperature reporting **6. Stable Tree Mention**: ❌ No explicit mention, but meets criteria **7. Stable Tree Rules**: ✅ Important bugfix with minimal regression risk ## Risk Assessment - **Regression Risk**: Very low - only affects temperature readings when IIO thermal channel is present - **User Impact**: High for affected users - wrong temperature readings could affect thermal management - **Code Complexity**: Minimal - straightforward arithmetic fix ## Historical Context The thermal channel support was added in commit `814755c48f8b` (July 2023), and this scaling bug has been present since then. The fix addresses a fundamental units mismatch that would cause incorrect temperature reporting for any system using the IIO thermal channel feature. This is exactly the type of contained, important bugfix that stable trees are designed for.

[ Upstream commit 234f71555019d308c6bc6f98c78c5551cb8cd56a ]
The ACPI specification requires that battery rate is always positive, but the kernel ABI for POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CURRENT_NOW (Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-power) specifies that it should be negative when a battery is discharging. When reporting CURRENT_NOW, massage the value to match the documented ABI.
This only changes the sign of `current_now` and not `power_now` because documentation doesn't describe any particular meaning for `power_now` so leaving `power_now` unchanged is less likely to confuse userspace unnecessarily, whereas becoming consistent with the documented ABI is worth potentially confusing clients that read `current_now`.

Based on my analysis of the commit and examination of the kernel codebase, I can now provide my assessment: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees because: 1. **Fixes a real user-facing bug**: The commit addresses an ABI inconsistency where ACPI battery drivers were reporting current_now with the wrong sign. According to the kernel's power supply ABI documentation (Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-power), `current_now` should be negative when discharging and positive when charging, but ACPI battery drivers were reporting positive values always. 2. **Small and contained fix**: The change is minimal and well-contained. It only affects the `POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CURRENT_NOW` case in `acpi_battery_get_property()` function in `drivers/acpi/battery.c`. The code adds a simple check to negate the current value only when: - Property requested is `POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CURRENT_NOW` (not power_now) - Battery is in discharging state - The `acpi_battery_handle_discharging()` function confirms it's actually discharging 3. **Follows stable rules**: This is an important bugfix that corrects userspace-visible behavior to match documented ABI. Applications and battery monitoring tools rely on the documented behavior that negative current indicates discharging. 4. **Minimal regression risk**: The change is very conservative: - Only affects `current_now`, not `power_now` (as noted in commit message) - Uses existing `acpi_battery_handle_discharging()` logic to double-check the discharging state - Leaves all other battery properties unchanged 5. **Similar pattern in similar drivers**: From the historical examples provided, commits like "power: supply: bq27xxx: fix polarity of current_now" and "power: supply: axp20x_battery: properly report current when discharging" were backported with YES status for exactly the same type of issue - fixing current sign during discharge. 6. **Affects critical subsystem**: Battery reporting is crucial for power management, and incorrect current direction can confuse userspace tools and potentially impact power management decisions. The commit carefully addresses the ABI compliance issue while minimizing risk by only changing the sign for `current_now` during confirmed discharging states, making it an ideal candidate for stable backporting.
