ARM: VDSO: Patch out __vdso_clock_getres() if unavailable

2026-03-04T12:19:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit b9fecf0dddfc55cd7d02b0011494da3c613f7cde ]

The vDSO code hides symbols which are non-functional.
__vdso_clock_getres() was not added to this list when it got introduced.

arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.c

2025-11-02T13:14:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit 35561bab768977c9e05f1f1a9bc00134c85f3e28 ]

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

ARM: 9430/1: entry: Do a dummy read from VMAP shadow

2024-12-09T09:33:06+00:00

commit 44e9a3bb76e5f2eecd374c8176b2c5163c8bb2e2 upstream.

When switching task, in addition to a dummy read from the new
VMAP stack, also do a dummy read from the VMAP stack's
corresponding KASAN shadow memory to sync things up in
the new MM context.

of/fdt: add dt_phys arg to early_init_dt_scan and early_init_dt_verify

2024-12-09T09:31:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit b2473a359763e27567993e7d8f37de82f57a0829 ]

 __pa() is only intended to be used for linear map addresses and using
it for initial_boot_params which is in fixmap for arm64 will give an
incorrect value. Hence save the physical address when it is known at
boot time when calling early_init_dt_scan for arm64 and use it at kexec
time instead of converting the virtual address using __pa().

Note that arm64 doesn't need the FDT region reserved in the DT as the
kernel explicitly reserves the passed in FDT. Therefore, only a debug
warning is fixed with this change.

ARM: 9419/1: mm: Fix kernel memory mapping for xip kernels

2024-11-22T14:38:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit ed6cbe6e5563452f305e89c15846820f2874e431 ]

The patchset introducing kernel_sec_start/end variables to separate the
kernel/lowmem memory mappings, broke the mapping of the kernel memory
for xipkernels.

kernel_sec_start/end variables are in RO area before the MMU is switched
on for xipkernels.
So these cannot be set early in boot in head.S. Fix this by setting these
after MMU is switched on.
xipkernels need two different mappings for kernel text (starting at
CONFIG_XIP_PHYS_ADDR) and data (starting at CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET).
Also, move the kernel code mapping from devicemaps_init() to map_kernel().

We find the root cause of this OOB is that arm does not clear stale stack
poison in the case of cpuidle.

This patch refer to arch/arm64/kernel/sleep.S to resolve this issue.

From cited commit [1] that explain the problem

Functions which the compiler has instrumented for KASAN place poison on
the stack shadow upon entry and remove this poison prior to returning.

In the case of cpuidle, CPUs exit the kernel a number of levels deep in
C code.  Any instrumented functions on this critical path will leave
portions of the stack shadow poisoned.

If CPUs lose context and return to the kernel via a cold path, we
restore a prior context saved in __cpu_suspend_enter are forgotten, and
we never remove the poison they placed in the stack shadow area by
functions calls between this and the actual exit of the kernel.

Thus, (depending on stackframe layout) subsequent calls to instrumented
functions may hit this stale poison, resulting in (spurious) KASAN
splats to the console.

To avoid this, clear any stale poison from the idle thread for a CPU
prior to bringing a CPU online.

ARM: 9352/1: iwmmxt: Remove support for PJ4/PJ4B cores

2024-04-03T13:28:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit b9920fdd5a751df129808e7fa512e9928223ee05 ]

PJ4 is a v7 core that incorporates a iWMMXt coprocessor. However, GCC
does not support this combination (its iWMMXt configuration always
implies v5te), and so there is no v6/v7 user space that actually makes
use of this, beyond generic support for things like setjmp() that
preserve/restore the iWMMXt register file using generic LDC/STC
instructions emitted in assembler.  As [0] appears to imply, this logic
is triggered for the init process at boot, and so most user threads will
have a iWMMXt register context associated with it, even though it is
never used.

At this point, it is highly unlikely that such GCC support will ever
materialize (and Clang does not implement support for iWMMXt to begin
with).

This means that advertising iWMMXt support on these cores results in
context switch overhead without any associated benefit, and so it is
better to simply ignore the iWMMXt unit on these systems. So rip out the
support. Doing so also fixes the issue reported in [0] related to UNDEF
handling of co-processor #0/#1 instructions issued from user space
running in Thumb2 mode.

The PJ4 cores are used in four platforms: Armada 370/xp, Dove (Cubox,
d2plug), MMP2 (xo-1.75) and Berlin (Google TV). Out of these, only the
first is still widely used, but that one actually doesn't have iWMMXt
but instead has only VFPV3-D16, and so it is not impacted by this
change.

kernel/Kconfig.kexec: drop select of KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP

2023-12-13T17:45:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit dccf78d39f1069a5ddf4328bf0c97aa5f2f4296e ]

Ignat Korchagin complained that a potential config regression was
introduced by commit 89cde455915f ("kexec: consolidate kexec and crash
options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec"). Before the commit, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
has no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. After the commit, CRASH_DUMP selects
KEXEC. That enforces system to have CONFIG_KEXEC=y as long as
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y which people may not want.

In Ignat's case, he sets CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y and
CONFIG_KEXEC=n because kexec_load interface could have security issue if
kernel/initrd has no chance to be signed and verified.

CRASH_DUMP has select of KEXEC because Eric, author of above commit, met a
LKP report of build failure when posting patch of earlier version. Please
see below link to get detail of the LKP report:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/3e8eecd1-a277-2cfb-690e-5de2eb7b988e@oracle.com/T/#u

In fact, that LKP report is triggered because arm's is
wrapped in CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope. That is wrong. CONFIG_KEXEC
controls the enabling/disabling of kexec_load interface, but not kexec
feature. Removing the wrongly added CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope in
of arm allows us to drop the select KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP.
Meanwhile, change arch/arm/kernel/Makefile to let machine_kexec.o
relocate_kernel.o depend on KEXEC_CORE.
