linux-stable.git/drivers/clocksource/time-efm32.c, branch linux-3.16.y Linux kernel stable tree clocksource: efm32: Fix a NULL pointer dereference 2015-03-30T10:10:57+00:00 Yongbae Park yongbae2@gmail.com 2015-03-03T10:46:49+00:00 fc28726d892f65d0eb55eb3328ee573deb2c3a26 commit 7b8f10da3bf1056546133c9f54f49ce389fd95ab upstream. The initialisation of the efm32 clocksource first sets up the irq and only after that initialises the data needed for irq handling. In case this initialisation is delayed the irq handler would dereference a NULL pointer. I'm not aware of anything that could delay the process in such a way, but it's better to be safe than sorry, so setup the irq only when the clock event device is ready.

commit 7b8f10da3bf1056546133c9f54f49ce389fd95ab upstream.

The initialisation of the efm32 clocksource first sets up the irq and only
after that initialises the data needed for irq handling. In case this
initialisation is delayed the irq handler would dereference a NULL pointer.

I'm not aware of anything that could delay the process in such a way, but it's
better to be safe than sorry, so setup the irq only when the clock event device
is ready.

clocksource: efm32: use $vendor,$device scheme for compatible string 2014-04-22T09:44:28+00:00 Uwe Kleine-König u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de 2014-03-25T14:50:44+00:00 63cc122381bda123c2b1b0137cca09f66e5be660 Wolfram Sang pointed out that "efm32,$device" is non-standard. So use the common scheme and prefix device with "efm32-". The old compatible string is left in place until arch/arm/boot/dts/efm32* is fixed.
