In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: pktgen: fix access outside of user given buffer in pktgen_thread_write()
Honour the user given buffer size for the strn_len() calls (otherwise
strn_len() will access memory outside of the user given buffer).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: fix debug actions order
The order of actions taken for debug was implemented incorrectly.
Now we implemented the dump split and do the FW reset only in the
middle of the dump (rather than the FW killing itself on error.)
As a result, some of the actions taken when applying the config
will now crash the device, so we need to fix the order.

virtio_ring: Fix data race by tagging event_triggered as racy for KCSAN
syzbot reports a data-race when accessing the event_triggered, here is the
simplified stack when the issue occurred:
==================================================================
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in virtqueue_disable_cb / virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed

==================================================================
When the data race occurs, the function virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() sets
event_triggered to false, and virtqueue_disable_cb_split/packed() reads it
as false due to the race condition. Since event_triggered is an unreliable
hint used for optimization, this should only cause the driver temporarily
suggest that the device not send an interrupt notification when the event
index is used.
Fix this KCSAN reported data-race issue by explicitly tagging the access as
data_racy.

After freed the tipc_crypto tx by delete namespace, tipc_aead_encrypt_done
may still visit it in cryptd_queue_worker workqueue.
I reproduce this issue by:
ip netns add ns1
ip link add veth1 type veth peer name veth2
ip link set veth1 netns ns1
ip netns exec ns1 tipc bearer enable media eth dev veth1
ip netns exec ns1 tipc node set key this_is_a_master_key master
ip netns exec ns1 tipc bearer disable media eth dev veth1
ip netns del ns1
The key of reproduction is that, simd_aead_encrypt is interrupted, leading
to crypto_simd_usable() return false. Thus, the cryptd_queue_worker is
triggered, and the tipc_crypto tx will be visited.
tipc_disc_timeout
tipc_bearer_xmit_skb
tipc_crypto_xmit
tipc_aead_encrypt
crypto_aead_encrypt
// encrypt()
simd_aead_encrypt
// crypto_simd_usable() is false
child = &ctx->cryptd_tfm->base;
simd_aead_encrypt
crypto_aead_encrypt
// encrypt()
cryptd_aead_encrypt_enqueue
cryptd_aead_enqueue
cryptd_enqueue_request
// trigger cryptd_queue_worker
queue_work_on(smp_processor_id(), cryptd_wq, &cpu_queue->work)
Fix this by holding net reference count before encrypt.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: amd-pstate: Remove unnecessary driver_lock in set_boost
set_boost is a per-policy function call, hence a driver wide lock is
unnecessary. Also this mutex_acquire can collide with the mutex_acquire
from the mode-switch path in status_store(), which can lead to a
deadlock. So, remove it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Avoid WARN_ON when configuring MQPRIO with HTB offload enabled
When attempting to enable MQPRIO while HTB offload is already
configured, the driver currently returns `-EINVAL` and triggers a
`WARN_ON`, leading to an unnecessary call trace.
Update the code to handle this case more gracefully by returning
`-EOPNOTSUPP` instead, while also providing a helpful user message.

This warning is emitted when trying to toggle, at the highest level,
some flow control (with serdev_device_set_flow_control) in a device
driver. At the lowest level, the atmel_serial driver is using
serial_mctrl_gpio lib to enable/disable the corresponding IRQs
accordingly. The warning emitted by CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is due to
disable_irq (called in mctrl_gpio_disable_ms) being possibly called in
some atomic context (some tty drivers perform modem lines configuration
in regions protected by port lock).
Split mctrl_gpio_disable_ms into two differents APIs, a non-blocking one
and a blocking one. Replace mctrl_gpio_disable_ms calls with the
relevant version depending on whether the call is protected by some port
lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: sunxi-ng: h616: Reparent GPU clock during frequency changes
The H616 manual does not state that the GPU PLL supports
dynamic frequency configuration, so we must take extra care when changing
the frequency. Currently any attempt to do device DVFS on the GPU lead
to panfrost various ooops, and GPU hangs.
The manual describes the algorithm for changing the PLL
frequency, which the CPU PLL notifier code already support, so we reuse
that to reparent the GPU clock to GPU1 clock during frequency
changes.
