2026-08-08bpf: Do not print a newline after disassembly in bpf_verbose_insn()Eduard Zingerman
At the moment there are more callsites that want bpf_verbose_insn() to not print a newline after the instruction, than callsites that want a newline. Drop '\n' from disasm.c. Non-functional change. The changes in bpftool are verified by writing a bpf program using a variety of instructions and comparing `prog dump xlated` output in the following modes: plain, opcodes, visual, visual opcodes. The output before and after the changes is identical.

2026-08-08bpf: Fix mmap_lock leak in irq_work pathSanghyun Park
stack_map_get_build_id_offset() introduced a per-CPU irq_work to defer mmap_read_unlock() from NMI context, and bpf_find_vma() later reused the same mmap_unlock_work. Both callers only check whether the work is busy before taking mmap_lock, so a nested caller can reuse the slot before the first caller queues it. Two read locks may then be acquired while only one deferred unlock runs, leaking a read lock and blocking exit_mmap(). Reserve the per-CPU slot before mmap_read_trylock(). Use the same wrapper in stackmap and bpf_find_vma() so both callers release the reservation on trylock failure. Keep rejecting the slot while the irq_work remains busy. Release it after the irq_work callback unlocks the mm.

2026-08-08ALSA: ump: Fix corrupted data bytes at MIDI 1.0 SysEx to UMP conversionHyeongJun An
The cvt_legacy_sysex_to_ump() initialises only the first word of the output packet and ORs the data bytes into it. The second word is left alone, and the conversion context is kept across calls, so it still carries the previous packet's bytes. Those stale bits corrupt the new data. Any SysEx longer than six data bytes is affected. A SysEx with the twelve data bytes 01..0c comes out as: 30160102 03040506 30260708 0b0e0f0e The second packet declares six data bytes and four of them are wrong, inside the declared length. The sibling cvt_legacy_cmd_to_ump() already clears the second word. Do the same here.

2026-08-08RISC-V: KVM: Avoid one-word masks for SBI v0.1 all-hartsPengpeng Hou
KVM already treats a NULL hart-mask pointer in SBI v0.1 calls as all harts, matching OpenSBI's legacy handling. The current handler builds that target set as (1UL << online_vcpus) - 1 before iterating the mask. That expression shifts by the type width once the VM has BITS_PER_LONG online vCPUs, and a single word cannot represent larger VMs. A count-based mask also selects the wrong IDs when vCPU IDs are sparse. Handle SEND_IPI with a NULL hart-mask by iterating all online vCPUs directly. For remote fence calls, use the existing hbase == -1UL convention so the common fence request helper targets the whole VM without consulting hmask. Non-NULL guest hart masks keep the existing v0.1 behavior.

2026-08-08fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_cursor()Rik van Riel
bit_cursor() fetches the glyph under the cursor with c = scr_readw(vc_pos); src = vc_font.data + ((c & charmask) * w * height); where charmask is 0x1ff when vc_hi_font_mask is set. The screen buffer value comes directly from scr_readw() and may be larger than the current font's glyph count. Syzkaller triggers this via vcs_write(). The Call Trace shows vcs_write() in vc_screen.c writing an arbitrary 16-bit value with writev() to /dev/vcsa, which vcs_write_buf() in vc_screen.c stores via vcs_scr_writew() without checking charcount. The stored value is later read in bit_cursor() in bitblit.c. When the font is changed from a font with 512 glyphs to a font with 256 glyphs, the screen buffer can retain characters with the high bit set from the previous mode, which could also produce the same out-of-bounds access.

Apply the same clamp in bit_cursor() after extracting the attribute and masking, before indexing fontdata. The fix completes the bounds checking started in commit 18c4ef4e765a ("fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_putcs*"), which missed the cursor path. This change should be safe because the clamp reuses the existing contract from fbcon: charcount is maintained under console_lock in con_font_set() and fbcon_font_set(), and hi_font_mask is cleared when switching from 512 to 256 glyphs. When stale screen data with high bits remains after a font switch, or when vcs_write() stores an arbitrary value, clamping the index to 0 prevents the out-of-bounds read without changing cursor semantics — the same fallback bit_putcs uses.

2026-08-08fbdev: Fix out-of-bounds access when rotating console after font resizeZizhi Wo
[BUG] Recently, we encountered a KASAN warning as follows: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ccw_putcs+0x8bd/0xa80 Read of size 1 at addr ff11000110067100 by task bash/1209 CPU: 10 UID: 0 PID: 1209 Comm: bash Not tainted 7.2.0-rc3 #69 PREEMPT(full) Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.17.0-4.fc41 04/01/2014 Call Trace: <TASK> ... kasan_report+0xf0/0x120 ? ccw_putcs+0x8bd/0xa80 ccw_putcs+0x8bd/0xa80 ? __pfx_ccw_putcs+0x10/0x10 fbcon_putcs+0x338/0x410 ? __pfx_ccw_putcs+0x10/0x10 do_update_region+0x21d/0x450 invert_screen+0x29d/0x5e0 ? __kmalloc_noprof+0x493/0x640 ? vc_do_resize+0x17c/0xe50 clear_selection+0x4c/0x60 vc_do_resize+0xaee/0xe50 fbcon_modechanged+0x2bd/0x640 rotate_all_store+0x298/0x380 ... reproduce: 1) issue two ioctls: first a KDFONTOP ioctl with op.op = KD_FONT_OP_SET, op.width = 1 and op.height = 1, then a TIOCL_SETSEL ioctl 2) echo 2 > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon/rotate_all 3) issue two ioctls: first a KDFONTOP ioctl with op.op = KD_FONT_OP_SET, op.width = 8 and op.height = 1, then a TIOCL_SETSEL ioctl 4) echo 3 > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon/rotate_all [CAUSE] The root cause is that fbcon_modechanged() first sets the current rotate's corresponding ops. Subsequently, during vc_resize(), it may trigger clear_selection(), and in fbcon_putcs->ccw_putcs[rotate=3], this can result in an out-of-bounds access to "src". This happens because par->rotated.buf is reallocated in fbcon_rotate_font(): 1) When rotate=2, its size is (width + 7) / 8 * height 2) When rotate=3, its size is (height + 7) / 8 * width And the call to fbcon_rotate_font() occurs after clear_selection(). In other words, the fontbuffer is allocated using the size calculated from the previous rotation 2, but before reallocating it with the new size, con_putcs is already using the new rotation 3: rotate_all_store fbcon_rotate_all fbcon_set_all_vcs fbcon_modechanged set_blitting_type ... par->bitops = &ccw_fbcon_bitops vc_resize ... clear_selection highlight ... do_update_region fbcon_putcs ... image.dy = vyres - ((xx + count) * vc->vc_font.width) [1] // overflow! ccw_putcs_aligned // old buf size is still being used during the read! src = par->rotated.buf + (scr_readw(s--) & charmask) * cellsize fb_pad_aligned_buffer----[src KASAN!!!] [2] info->fbops->fb_imageblit(info, image) sys_imageblit fb_imageblit fb_address_forward // offset: image->dy * bits_per_line + image->dx * bpp unsigned int bits = (unsigned int)adr->bits + offset adr->address += (bits & ~(BITS_PER_LONG - 1u)) / BITS_PER_BYTE [3] fb_bitmap_imageblit ... fb_read_offset // page fault! [4] update_screen redraw_screen ... ccw_cursor soft_cursor memcpy(src, image->data, dsize)----[src KASAN again!!!] [5] fbcon_switch fbcon_rotate_font font_data_rotate dst = kmalloc_array(charcount, d_cellsize, GFP_KERNEL) // the new size is allocated only here! par->rotated.buf = buf [6] [FIX] A fairly obvious approach is to follow fbcon_switch(): in fbcon_modechanged(), call rotate_font() before vc_resize() so that a correctly sized buffer is allocated in time, as done in [6]. This fix is necessary, but it is not sufficient on its own. In [1] it causes an image.dy overflow (ccw_putcs: vyres = 768, image.dy = 4294967040), because vc_cols has not been updated in time at this point (it is likewise only updated after clear_selection()). This allows (xx + count) * width to exceed vyres, causing image.dy to overflow. Subsequently, address in [3] is incremented by an even larger amount, which triggers a page fault at [4]. Therefore, a second fix is required in combination with the first: move clear_selection() earlier, before set_blitting_type() in fbcon_set_all_vcs(), to prevent the out-of-bounds access. fbcon_rotate() has a similar problem, so add the same clear there. Since vc_is_sel() is not exported, the fbdev side is currently forced to call clear_selection() unconditionally, causing the global selection to be cleared prematurely. And this will not cause any other significant impact. Signed-off-by: Zizhi Wo <wozizhi@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2026-08-08fbdev: core: Fix pointer desynchronization in fb_io_read()Mingyu Wang
In fb_io_read(), if copy_to_user() performs a partial copy (e.g., due to a faulty user buffer), the loop adjusts the chunk size 'c' and updates the remaining 'count'. However, the hardware 'src' pointer has already been eagerly advanced by the original chunk size. If the loop is allowed to continue, the read will resume from an incorrect, over-advanced offset. Since the remaining 'count' was only decremented by the successful bytes, this desynchronization causes the next iterations to execute more hardware reads than originally bounded, eventually leading to out-of-bounds I/O reads. Fix this by breaking out of the loop immediately upon a partial copy_to_user(). A partial copy indicates a faulty user buffer, making subsequent read attempts futile. Breaking out ensures we return the number of successfully read bytes without risking out-of-bounds hardware accesses in subsequent mismatched iterations.

2026-08-08fbdev: serialize mode sysfs access with lock_fb_info()Melbin K Mathew
show_mode(), show_modes(), and store_mode() access fb_info->modelist and fb_info->mode without holding lock_fb_info(). store_modes() takes lock_fb_info() while replacing the modelist and freeing the old one. A concurrent reader or writer can load a pointer to an old modelist entry before store_modes() frees it, then dereference freed memory or store a stale freed pointer in fb_info->mode. Take lock_fb_info() in show_mode(), show_modes(), and store_mode() to serialize with store_modes(). In show_mode(), copy the mode to the stack and format after dropping the lock. In store_mode(), split activate() into a _locked variant to avoid double-locking, and hold the locks for the modelist walk, mode conversion, activation, and fb_info->mode assignment together.

The code checks that the mode being deleted is not the current info->var and that fbcon is not using it, but it does not check fb_info->mode. fb_info->mode may still point into the modelist entry being deleted. If the entry is freed, later mode sysfs reads through show_mode() can dereference a stale pointer. Clear fb_info->mode before calling fb_delete_videomode() when it matches the mode being removed.

2026-08-08fbdev: bound mode sysfs output to the sysfs bufferMelbin K Mathew
mode_string() uses snprintf() which can return a value larger than the remaining buffer space. show_modes() accumulates the return value into i without checking whether i has reached PAGE_SIZE, causing the offset to advance past the sysfs buffer if the modelist is long enough. Add a size parameter to mode_string() and use scnprintf() to return only the bytes actually written. Add an early return when offset already exceeds the buffer. In show_modes(), stop accumulating once the buffer is full. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v7.1+ Signed-off-by: Melbin K Mathew <mlbnkm1@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2026-08-08RISC-V: KVM: Guard HFENCE range loops against overflowPengpeng Hou
The local HFENCE range helpers build the loop end with addr + size and then step through the range by the requested page order. If addr + size wraps, a small range near the top of the address space can be treated as empty and skip the intended fence. The final loop step can also wrap before the loop condition is evaluated again. Treat wrapped ranges conservatively as full-range HFENCE requests and stop each bounded loop before the next step can wrap past the computed end. This keeps the existing large-range fallback and only changes local GVMA/VVMA range construction.

Commit 4785aa802853 ("cpuidle, ACPI: Evaluate LPI arch_flags for broadcast timer") replaced the generic nonzero check for LPI architectural context loss flags with arch_get_idle_state_flags(). RISC-V does not implement the helper, so it falls back to the stub that returns 0. Consequently, CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP is not set when an LPI state loses the hart timer context, preventing cpuidle from using a broadcast timer for that state. Implement the RISC-V helper and map the hart timer context loss flag to CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP.

2026-08-07riscv: Add support for srmcfg CSR from Ssqosid extensionDrew Fustini
Add support for the srmcfg CSR defined in the Ssqosid ISA extension. The CSR contains two fields: - Resource Control ID (RCID) for resource allocation - Monitoring Counter ID (MCID) for tracking resource usage Requests from a hart to shared resources are tagged with these IDs, allowing resource usage to be associated with the running task. Add a srmcfg field to thread_struct with the same format as the CSR. The context-switch path writes the field to the CSR, and resctrl_arch_set_closid_rmid() updates it when a task is assigned to a resctrl control or monitoring group. A per-cpu cpu_srmcfg_default holds the default srmcfg for each CPU, set by resctrl_arch_set_cpu_default_closid_rmid() on CPU group assignment. On context switch, RCID and MCID inherit from the CPU default independently: a task whose thread RCID field is zero takes the CPU default's RCID, and likewise for MCID. A per-cpu cpu_srmcfg variable mirrors the CSR state to avoid redundant writes. L1D-hot memory access is faster than a CSR read and avoids traps under virtualization.

2026-08-07RISC-V: Define indirect CSR access helpersAtish Patra
The indirect CSR requires multiple instructions to read/write CSR. Add a few helper macros for ease of usage. These have to be macros rather than functions. csr_read()/csr_write() stringify their CSR argument into the inline asm template via __ASM_STR(), so the CSR number must be a literal token; passing it as a function parameter emits "csrr %0, iregcsr", which the assembler rejects with "unknown CSR `iregcsr'". The stringification happens in the preprocessor, before inlining or constant propagation, so it cannot be worked around by forcing inlining or by only ever passing constants - gcc 12, gcc 16 and clang 22 all reject it alike. Underneath, csrr/csrw encode the CSR as a 12-bit immediate and RISC-V has no register-indirect form, which is also why asm/csr.h keeps every one of its accessors as a macro.

2026-08-07riscv: unaligned: stop using kthread for check_vector_unaligned_access()Nam Cao
A kthread is used to run check_vector_unaligned_access() to optimize boot time, allowing the kernel to continue booting without waiting for the unaligned vector speed probe to finish. However, this asynchronous approach introduces several complications. First, the kthread may not complete before a user reads vDSO data, resulting in incorrect values. This was previously addressed by commit 5d15d2ad36b0 ("riscv: hwprobe: Fix stale vDSO data for late-initialized keys at boot"), which added complex synchronization between the kthread and vDSO reads. Second, it was discovered that the kthread may not finish before vec_check_unaligned_access_speed_all_cpus() (marked with __init) is freed, triggering a page fault. These issues raise the question of whether the kthread is worth the added complexity. A past boot time regression report was actually unrelated to synchronous probing; it was caused by the probe running serially. Since switching to a parallel probe, no further complaints have been made. Furthermore, the unaligned scalar access speed probe takes the same amount of time, runs synchronously, and has caused no issues. Testing shows no noticeable boot time slowdown when running the vector probe synchronously (0.464474s with kthread vs. 0.457991s without). Remove the kthread usage and run the probe synchronously. This simplifies the boot flow and allows for the revert of commit 5d15d2ad36b0 ("riscv: hwprobe: Fix stale vDSO data for late-initialized keys at boot") Reported-by: Anirudh Srinivasan <asrinivasan@oss.tenstorrent.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20260612-vec_unaligned_drop_init-v1-1-df969210ae34@oss.tenstorrent.com/ Fixes: e7c9d66e313b ("RISC-V: Report vector unaligned access speed hwprobe") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Nam Cao <namcao@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Jesse Taube <jtaubepe@redhat.com> Tested-by: Anirudh Srinivasan <asrinivasan@oss.tenstorrent.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/1c378963f27c5960e8a57c50b8b444d30954cb54.1781666867.git.namcao@linutronix.de [pjw@kernel.org: updated to apply; adjusted Fixes: tag; fixed my own manual patch application error] Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley <pjw@kernel.org>

Since default_power_off() never returns, annotate it with the __noreturn attribute to improve compiler optimizations. Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260727100339.410466-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley <pjw@kernel.org>
