On hibernating, pm core calls into related hooks in sequence like:
.freeze
.freeze_noirq
.thaw_noirq
.thaw
With .thaw_noirq hook being absent, the clock will be disabled in a
unbalanced call which results the warning above.
imx_uart_freeze()
clk_prepare_enable()
imx_uart_suspend_noirq()
clk_disable()
imx_uart_thaw
clk_disable_unprepare()
Adding the missing .thaw_noirq hook as imx_uart_resume_noirq() will have
the call sequence corrected as below and thus fix the warning.
imx_uart_freeze()
clk_prepare_enable()
imx_uart_suspend_noirq()
clk_disable()
imx_uart_resume_noirq()
clk_enable()
imx_uart_thaw
clk_disable_unprepare()

It's bacause in snd_soc_init(), snd_soc_util_init() is possble to fail,
but its ret is ignored, which makes soc_dummy_dev unregistered twice.
snd_soc_init()
snd_soc_util_init()
platform_device_register_simple(soc_dummy_dev)
platform_driver_register() # fail
platform_device_unregister(soc_dummy_dev)
platform_driver_register() # success
...
snd_soc_exit()
snd_soc_util_exit()
# soc_dummy_dev will be unregistered for second time
To fix it, handle error and stop snd_soc_init() when util_init() fail.
Also clean debugfs when util_init() or driver_register() fail.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: libata-transport: fix double ata_host_put() in ata_tport_add()
In the error path in ata_tport_add(), when calling put_device(),
ata_tport_release() is called, it will put the refcount of 'ap->host'.
And then ata_host_put() is called again, the refcount is decreased
to 0, ata_host_release() is called, all ports are freed and set to
null.
When unbinding the device after failure, ata_host_stop() is called
to release the resources, it leads a null-ptr-deref(), because all
the ports all freed and null.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hugetlbfs: don't delete error page from pagecache
This change is very similar to the change that was made for shmem [1], and
it solves the same problem but for HugeTLBFS instead.
Currently, when poison is found in a HugeTLB page, the page is removed
from the page cache. That means that attempting to map or read that
hugepage in the future will result in a new hugepage being allocated
instead of notifying the user that the page was poisoned. As [1] states,
this is effectively memory corruption.
The fix is to leave the page in the page cache. If the user attempts to
use a poisoned HugeTLB page with a syscall, the syscall will fail with
EIO, the same error code that shmem uses. For attempts to map the page,
the thread will get a BUS_MCEERR_AR SIGBUS.
[1]: commit a76054266661 ("mm: shmem: don't truncate page if memory failure happens")

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: zoned: initialize device's zone info for seeding
When performing seeding on a zoned filesystem it is necessary to
initialize each zoned device's btrfs_zoned_device_info structure,
otherwise mounting the filesystem will cause a NULL pointer dereference.
This was uncovered by fstests' testcase btrfs/163.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: devicetree: fix null pointer dereferencing in pinctrl_dt_to_map
Here is the BUG report by KASAN about null pointer dereference:
BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in strcmp+0x2e/0x50

Call Trace:

kasprintf() would return NULL pointer when kmalloc() fail to allocate.
So directly return ENOMEM, if kasprintf() return NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix use-after-free bug of ns_writer on remount
If a nilfs2 filesystem is downgraded to read-only due to metadata
corruption on disk and is remounted read/write, or if emergency read-only
remount is performed, detaching a log writer and synchronizing the
filesystem can be done at the same time.
In these cases, use-after-free of the log writer (hereinafter
nilfs->ns_writer) can happen as shown in the scenario below:
Task1 Task2
-------------------------------- ------------------------------
nilfs_construct_segment
nilfs_segctor_sync
init_wait
init_waitqueue_entry
add_wait_queue
schedule
nilfs_remount (R/W remount case)
nilfs_attach_log_writer
nilfs_detach_log_writer
nilfs_segctor_destroy
kfree
finish_wait
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
__raw_spin_lock_irqsave
do_raw_spin_lock
debug_spin_lock_before <-- use-after-free
While Task1 is sleeping, nilfs->ns_writer is freed by Task2. After Task1
waked up, Task1 accesses nilfs->ns_writer which is already freed. This
scenario diagram is based on the Shigeru Yoshida's post [1].
This patch fixes the issue by not detaching nilfs->ns_writer on remount so
that this UAF race doesn't happen. Along with this change, this patch
also inserts a few necessary read-only checks with superblock instance
where only the ns_writer pointer was used to check if the filesystem is
read-only.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: hda: fix potential memleak in 'add_widget_node'
As 'kobject_add' may allocated memory for 'kobject->name' when return error.
And in this function, if call 'kobject_add' failed didn't free kobject.
So call 'kobject_put' to recycling resources.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mISDN: fix possible memory leak in mISDN_dsp_element_register()
Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's
bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically,
use put_device() to give up the reference, so that the name can be
freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount is 0.
The 'entry' is going to be freed in mISDN_dsp_dev_release(), so the
kfree() is removed. list_del() is called in mISDN_dsp_dev_release(),
so it need be initialized.
