In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thunderbolt: Mark XDomain as unplugged when router is removed
I noticed that when we do discrete host router NVM upgrade and it gets
hot-removed from the PCIe side as a result of NVM firmware authentication,
if there is another host connected with enabled paths we hang in tearing
them down. This is due to fact that the Thunderbolt networking driver
also tries to cleanup the paths and ends up blocking in
tb_disconnect_xdomain_paths() waiting for the domain lock.
However, at this point we already cleaned the paths in tb_stop() so
there is really no need for tb_disconnect_xdomain_paths() to do that
anymore. Furthermore it already checks if the XDomain is unplugged and
bails out early so take advantage of that and mark the XDomain as
unplugged when we remove the parent router.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "serial: 8250_omap: Set the console genpd always on if no console suspend"
This reverts commit 68e6939ea9ec3d6579eadeab16060339cdeaf940.
Kevin reported that this causes a crash during suspend on platforms that
dont use PM domains.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
workqueue: Fix spruious data race in __flush_work()
When flushing a work item for cancellation, __flush_work() knows that it
exclusively owns the work item through its PENDING bit. 134874e2eee9
("workqueue: Allow cancel_work_sync() and disable_work() from atomic
contexts on BH work items") added a read of @work->data to determine whether
to use busy wait for BH work items that are being canceled. While the read
is safe when @from_cancel, @work->data was read before testing @from_cancel
to simplify code structure:
data = *work_data_bits(work);
if (from_cancel &&
!WARN_ON_ONCE(data & WORK_STRUCT_PWQ) && (data & WORK_OFFQ_BH)) {
While the read data was never used if !@from_cancel, this could trigger
KCSAN data race detection spuriously:
==================================================================

value changed: 0x0000000000400000 -> 0xffff88810006c00d
Reorganize the code so that @from_cancel is tested before @work->data is
accessed. The only problem is triggering KCSAN detection spuriously. This
shouldn't need READ_ONCE() or other access qualifiers.
No functional changes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: reset mmio mappings with devm
Set our various mmio mappings to NULL. This should make it easier to
catch something rogue trying to mess with mmio after device removal. For
example, we might unmap everything and then start hitting some mmio
address which has already been unmamped by us and then remapped by
something else, causing all kinds of carnage.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: mark last busy before uart_add_one_port
With "earlycon initcall_debug=1 loglevel=8" in bootargs, kernel
sometimes boot hang. It is because normal console still is not ready,
but runtime suspend is called, so early console putchar will hang
in waiting TRDE set in UARTSTAT.
The lpuart driver has auto suspend delay set to 3000ms, but during
uart_add_one_port, a child device serial ctrl will added and probed with
its pm runtime enabled(see serial_ctrl.c).
The runtime suspend call path is:
device_add
|-> bus_probe_device
|->device_initial_probe
|->__device_attach
|-> pm_runtime_get_sync(dev->parent);
|-> pm_request_idle(dev);
|-> pm_runtime_put(dev->parent);
So in the end, before normal console ready, the lpuart get runtime
suspended. And earlycon putchar will hang.
To address the issue, mark last busy just after pm_runtime_enable,
three seconds is long enough to switch from bootconsole to normal
console.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Make ICC_*SGI*_EL1 undef in the absence of a vGICv3
On a system with a GICv3, if a guest hasn't been configured with
GICv3 and that the host is not capable of GICv2 emulation,
a write to any of the ICC_*SGI*_EL1 registers is trapped to EL2.
We therefore try to emulate the SGI access, only to hit a NULL
pointer as no private interrupt is allocated (no GIC, remember?).
The obvious fix is to give the guest what it deserves, in the
shape of a UNDEF exception.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: Fix prime with external buffers
Make sure that for external buffers mapping goes through the dma_buf
interface instead of trying to access pages directly.
External buffers might not provide direct access to readable/writable
pages so to make sure the bo's created from external dma_bufs can be
read dma_buf interface has to be used.
Fixes crashes in IGT's kms_prime with vgem. Regular desktop usage won't
trigger this due to the fact that virtual machines will not have
multiple GPUs but it enables better test coverage in IGT.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: Prevent unmapping active read buffers
The kms paths keep a persistent map active to read and compare the cursor
buffer. These maps can race with each other in simple scenario where:
a) buffer "a" mapped for update
b) buffer "a" mapped for compare
c) do the compare
d) unmap "a" for compare
e) update the cursor
f) unmap "a" for update
At step "e" the buffer has been unmapped and the read contents is bogus.
Prevent unmapping of active read buffers by simply keeping a count of
how many paths have currently active maps and unmap only when the count
reaches 0.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: pm: fix ID 0 endp usage after multiple re-creations
'local_addr_used' and 'add_addr_accepted' are decremented for addresses
not related to the initial subflow (ID0), because the source and
destination addresses of the initial subflows are known from the
beginning: they don't count as "additional local address being used" or
"ADD_ADDR being accepted".
It is then required not to increment them when the entrypoint used by
the initial subflow is removed and re-added during a connection. Without
this modification, this entrypoint cannot be removed and re-added more
than once.
