The problem is that base address allocated from hugetlbfs is not aligned
with pmd size. Here add a checking for hugetlbfs and align base address
with pmd size. After this patch the test case "testcases/bin/hugefork02"
passes to run.
This is similar to the commit 7f24cbc9c4d42db8a3c8484d1 ("mm/mmap: teach
generic_get_unmapped_area{_topdown} to handle hugetlb mappings").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: mhi: host: pci_generic: Use pci_try_reset_function() to avoid deadlock
There are multiple places from where the recovery work gets scheduled
asynchronously. Also, there are multiple places where the caller waits
synchronously for the recovery to be completed. One such place is during
the PM shutdown() callback.
If the device is not alive during recovery_work, it will try to reset the
device using pci_reset_function(). This function internally will take the
device_lock() first before resetting the device. By this time, if the lock
has already been acquired, then recovery_work will get stalled while
waiting for the lock. And if the lock was already acquired by the caller
which waits for the recovery_work to be completed, it will lead to
deadlock.
This is what happened on the X1E80100 CRD device when the device died
before shutdown() callback. Driver core calls the driver's shutdown()
callback while holding the device_lock() leading to deadlock.
And this deadlock scenario can occur on other paths as well, like during
the PM suspend() callback, where the driver core would hold the
device_lock() before calling driver's suspend() callback. And if the
recovery_work was already started, it could lead to deadlock. This is also
observed on the X1E80100 CRD.
So to fix both issues, use pci_try_reset_function() in recovery_work. This
function first checks for the availability of the device_lock() before
trying to reset the device. If the lock is available, it will acquire it
and reset the device. Otherwise, it will return -EAGAIN. If that happens,
recovery_work will fail with the error message "Recovery failed" as not
much could be done.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: prevent connection release during oplock break notification
ksmbd_work could be freed when after connection release.
Increment r_count of ksmbd_conn to indicate that requests
are not finished yet and to not release the connection.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Assign normalized_pix_clk when color depth = 14
[WHY & HOW]
A warning message "WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 459 at ... /dc_resource.c:3397
calculate_phy_pix_clks+0xef/0x100 [amdgpu]" occurs because the
display_color_depth == COLOR_DEPTH_141414 is not handled. This is
observed in Radeon RX 6600 XT.
It is fixed by assigning pix_clk * (14 * 3) / 24 - same as the rests.
Also fixes the indentation in get_norm_pix_clk.
(cherry picked from commit 274a87eb389f58eddcbc5659ab0b180b37e92775)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla1280: Fix kernel oops when debug level > 2
A null dereference or oops exception will eventually occur when qla1280.c
driver is compiled with DEBUG_QLA1280 enabled and ql_debug_level > 2. I
think its clear from the code that the intention here is sg_dma_len(s) not
length of sg_next(s) when printing the debug info.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: aggregator: protect driver attr handlers against module unload
Both new_device_store and delete_device_store touch module global
resources (e.g. gpio_aggregator_lock). To prevent race conditions with
module unload, a reference needs to be held.
Add try_module_get() in these handlers.
For new_device_store, this eliminates what appears to be the most dangerous
scenario: if an id is allocated from gpio_aggregator_idr but
platform_device_register has not yet been called or completed, a concurrent
module unload could fail to unregister/delete the device, leaving behind a
dangling platform device/GPIO forwarder. This can result in various issues.
The following simple reproducer demonstrates these problems:
#!/bin/bash
while :; do
# note: whether 'gpiochip0 0' exists or not does not matter.
echo 'gpiochip0 0' > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/gpio-aggregator/new_device
done &
while :; do
modprobe gpio-aggregator
modprobe -r gpio-aggregator
done &
wait

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix bug on trap in smb2_lock
If lock count is greater than 1, flags could be old value.
It should be checked with flags of smb_lock, not flags.
It will cause bug-on trap from locks_free_lock in error handling
routine.

If osidoffset, gsidoffset and dacloffset could be greater than smb_ntsd
struct size. If it is smaller, It could cause slab-out-of-bounds.
And when validating sid, It need to check it included subauth array size.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix type confusion via race condition when using ipc_msg_send_request
req->handle is allocated using ksmbd_acquire_id(&ipc_ida), based on
ida_alloc. req->handle from ksmbd_ipc_login_request and
FSCTL_PIPE_TRANSCEIVE ioctl can be same and it could lead to type confusion
between messages, resulting in access to unexpected parts of memory after
an incorrect delivery. ksmbd check type of ipc response but missing add
continue to check next ipc reponse.
