Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (pmbus/core) Protect regulator operations with mutex
The regulator operations pmbus_regulator_get_voltage(),
pmbus_regulator_set_voltage(), and pmbus_regulator_list_voltage()
access PMBus registers and shared data but were not protected by
the update_lock mutex. This could lead to race conditions.
However, adding mutex protection directly to these functions causes
a deadlock because pmbus_regulator_notify() (which calls
regulator_notifier_call_chain()) is often called with the mutex
already held (e.g., from pmbus_fault_handler()). If a regulator
callback then calls one of the now-protected voltage functions,
it will attempt to acquire the same mutex.
Rework pmbus_regulator_notify() to utilize a worker function to
send notifications outside of the mutex protection. Events are
stored as atomics in a per-page bitmask and processed by the worker.
Initialize the worker and its associated data during regulator
registration, and ensure it is cancelled on device removal using
devm_add_action_or_reset().
While at it, remove the unnecessary include of linux/of.h.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: use generic driver_override infrastructure
When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match()
callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the
driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF.
Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking
care of proper locking internally.
Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock
held is intentional. [1]
Also note that we do not enable the driver_override feature of struct
bus_type, as SPI - in contrast to most other buses - passes "" to
sysfs_emit() when the driver_override pointer is NULL. Thus, printing
"\n" instead of "(null)\n".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Do not skip unrelated mode changes in DSC validation
Starting with commit 17ce8a6907f7 ("drm/amd/display: Add dsc pre-validation in
atomic check"), amdgpu resets the CRTC state mode_changed flag to false when
recomputing the DSC configuration results in no timing change for a particular
stream.
However, this is incorrect in scenarios where a change in MST/DSC configuration
happens in the same KMS commit as another (unrelated) mode change. For example,
the integrated panel of a laptop may be configured differently (e.g., HDR
enabled/disabled) depending on whether external screens are attached. In this
case, plugging in external DP-MST screens may result in the mode_changed flag
being dropped incorrectly for the integrated panel if its DSC configuration
did not change during precomputation in pre_validate_dsc().
At this point, however, dm_update_crtc_state() has already created new streams
for CRTCs with DSC-independent mode changes. In turn,
amdgpu_dm_commit_streams() will never release the old stream, resulting in a
memory leak. amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail() will never acquire a reference to
the new stream either, which manifests as a use-after-free when the stream gets
disabled later on:

Since there is no reliable way of figuring out whether a CRTC has unrelated
mode changes pending at the time of DSC validation, remember the value of the
mode_changed flag from before the point where a CRTC was marked as potentially
affected by a change in DSC configuration. Reset the mode_changed flag to this
earlier value instead in pre_validate_dsc().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: meson-spicc: Fix double-put in remove path
meson_spicc_probe() registers the controller with
devm_spi_register_controller(), so teardown already drops the
controller reference via devm cleanup.
Calling spi_controller_put() again in meson_spicc_remove()
causes a double-put.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/pf: Fix use-after-free in migration restore
When an error is returned from xe_sriov_pf_migration_restore_produce(),
the data pointer is not set to NULL, which can trigger use-after-free
in subsequent .write() calls.
Set the pointer to NULL upon error to fix the problem.

RDMA/irdma: Harden depth calculation functions
An issue was exposed where OS can pass in U32_MAX for SQ/RQ/SRQ size.
This can cause integer overflow and truncation of SQ/RQ/SRQ depth
returning a success when it should have failed.
Harden the functions to do all depth calculations and boundary
checking in u64 sizes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Drain deferred trigger frees if kthread creation fails
Boot-time trigger registration can fail before the trigger-data cleanup
kthread exists. Deferring those frees until late init is fine, but the
post-boot fallback must still drain the deferred list if kthread
creation never succeeds.
Otherwise, boot-deferred nodes can accumulate on
trigger_data_free_list, later frees fall back to synchronously freeing
only the current object, and the older queued entries are leaked
forever.
To trigger this, add the following to the kernel command line:
trace_event=sched_switch trace_trigger=sched_switch.traceon,sched_switch.traceon
The second traceon trigger will fail and be freed. This triggers a NULL
pointer dereference and crashes the kernel.
Keep the deferred boot-time behavior, but when kthread creation fails,
drain the whole queued list synchronously. Do the same in the late-init
drain path so queued entries are not stranded there either.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/entry: Scrub r12 register on kernel entry
Before commit f33f2d4c7c80 ("s390/bp: remove TIF_ISOLATE_BP"),
all entry handlers loaded r12 with the current task pointer
(lg %r12,__LC_CURRENT) for use by the BPENTER/BPEXIT macros. That
commit removed TIF_ISOLATE_BP, dropping both the branch prediction
macros and the r12 load, but did not add r12 to the register clearing
sequence.
Add the missing xgr %r12,%r12 to make the register scrub consistent
across all entry points.
