commit 1e7381f3617d14b3c11da80ff5f8a93ab14cfc46 upstream.

Explicitly verify the target vCPU is fully online _prior_ to clamping the
index in kvm_get_vcpu().  If the index is "bad", the nospec clamping will
generate '0', i.e. KVM will return vCPU0 instead of NULL.

In practice, the bug is unlikely to cause problems, as it will only come
into play if userspace or the guest is buggy or misbehaving, e.g. KVM may
send interrupts to vCPU0 instead of dropping them on the floor.

However, returning vCPU0 when it shouldn't exist per online_vcpus is
problematic now that KVM uses an xarray for the vCPUs array, as KVM needs
to insert into the xarray before publishing the vCPU to userspace (see
commit c5b077549136 ("KVM: Convert the kvm-&gt;vcpus array to a xarray")),
i.e. before vCPU creation is guaranteed to succeed.

As a result, incorrectly providing access to vCPU0 will trigger a
use-after-free if vCPU0 is dereferenced and kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu()
bails out of vCPU creation due to an error and frees vCPU0.  Commit
afb2acb2e3a3 ("KVM: Fix vcpu_array[0] races") papered over that issue, but
in doing so introduced an unsolvable teardown conundrum.  Preventing
accesses to vCPU0 before it's fully online will allow reverting commit
afb2acb2e3a3, without re-introducing the vcpu_array[0] UAF race.

<title>net/mlx5: use do_aux_work for PHC overflow checks</title>

[ Upstream commit e61e6c415ba9ff2b32bb6780ce1b17d1d76238f1 ]

The overflow_work is using system wq to do overflow checks and updates
for PHC device timecounter, which might be overhelmed by other tasks.
But there is dedicated kthread in PTP subsystem designed for such
things. This patch changes the work queue to proper align with PTP
subsystem and to avoid overloading system work queue.
The adjfine() function acts the same way as overflow check worker,
we can postpone ptp aux worker till the next overflow period after
adjfine() was called.

<title>exec: fix up /proc/pid/comm in the execveat(AT_EMPTY_PATH) case</title>

[ Upstream commit 543841d1806029889c2f69f040e88b247aba8e22 ]

Zbigniew mentioned at Linux Plumber's that systemd is interested in
switching to execveat() for service execution, but can't, because the
contents of /proc/pid/comm are the file descriptor which was used,
instead of the path to the binary[1]. This makes the output of tools like
top and ps useless, especially in a world where most fds are opened
CLOEXEC so the number is truly meaningless.

When the filename passed in is empty (e.g. with AT_EMPTY_PATH), use the
dentry's filename for "comm" instead of using the useless numeral from
the synthetic fdpath construction. This way the actual exec machinery
is unchanged, but cosmetically the comm looks reasonable to admins
investigating things.

Instead of adding TASK_COMM_LEN more bytes to bprm, use one of the unused
flag bits to indicate that we need to set "comm" from the dentry.

commit c79a39dc8d060b9e64e8b0fa9d245d44befeefbe upstream.

On a board running ntpd and gpsd, I'm seeing a consistent use-after-free
in sys_exit() from gpsd when rebooting:

    kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:62!
    Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops - BUG: Fatal exception

This happens because pps_device_destruct() frees the pps_device with the
embedded cdev immediately after calling cdev_del(), but, as the comment
above cdev_del() notes, fops for previously opened cdevs are still
callable even after cdev_del() returns. I think this bug has always
been there: I can't explain why it suddenly started happening every time
I reboot this particular board.

In commit d953e0e837e6 ("pps: Fix a use-after free bug when
unregistering a source."), George Spelvin suggested removing the
embedded cdev. That seems like the simplest way to fix this, so I've
implemented his suggestion, using __register_chrdev() with pps_idr
becoming the source of truth for which minor corresponds to which
device.

But now that pps_idr defines userspace visibility instead of cdev_add(),
we need to be sure the pps-&gt;dev refcount can't reach zero while
userspace can still find it again. So, the idr_remove() call moves to
pps_unregister_cdev(), and pps_idr now holds a reference to pps-&gt;dev.

commit 4d27afbf256028a1f54363367f30efc8854433c3 upstream.

The Source can drop its output voltage to the minimum of the requested
PPS APDO voltage range when it is in Current Limit Mode. If this voltage
falls within the range of vPpsShutdown, the Source initiates a Hard
Reset and discharges Vbus. However, currently the Sink may disconnect
before the voltage reaches vPpsShutdown, leading to unexpected behavior.

Prevent premature disconnection by setting the Sink's disconnect
threshold to the minimum vPpsShutdown value. Additionally, consider the
voltage drop due to IR drop when calculating the appropriate threshold.
This ensures a robust and reliable interaction between the Source and
Sink during SPR PPS Current Limit Mode operation.

[ Upstream commit a145c848d69f9c6f32008d8319edaa133360dd74 ]

dereference_symbol_descriptor() needs to obtain the module pointer
belonging to pointer in order to resolve that pointer.
The returned mod pointer is obtained under RCU-sched/ preempt_disable()
guarantees and needs to be used within this section to ensure that the
module is not removed in the meantime.

Extend the preempt_disable() section to also cover
dereference_module_function_descriptor().

<title>buffer: make folio_create_empty_buffers() return a buffer_head</title>

[ Upstream commit 3decb8564eff88a2533f83b01cec2cf9259c3eaf ]

Patch series "Finish the create_empty_buffers() transition", v2.

Pankaj recently added folio_create_empty_buffers() as the folio equivalent
to create_empty_buffers().  This patch set finishes the conversion by
first converting all remaining filesystems to call
folio_create_empty_buffers(), then renaming it back to
create_empty_buffers().  I took the opportunity to make a few
simplifications like making folio_create_empty_buffers() return the head
buffer and extracting get_nth_bh() from nilfs2.

A few of the patches in this series aren't directly related to
create_empty_buffers(), but I saw them while I was working on this and
thought they'd be easy enough to add to this series.  Compile-tested only,
other than ext4.

This patch (of 26):

Almost all callers want to know the first BH that was allocated for this
folio.  We already have that handy, so return it.

[ Upstream commit 769cb63166d90f1fadafa4352f180cbd96b6cb77 ]

The of_syscon_register_regmap() API allows an externally created regmap
to be registered with syscon. This regmap can then be returned to client
drivers using the syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle() APIs.

The API is used by platforms where mmio access to the syscon registers is
not possible, and a underlying soc driver like exynos-pmu provides a SoC
specific regmap that can issue a SMC or hypervisor call to write the
register.

This approach keeps the SoC complexities out of syscon, but allows common
drivers such as  syscon-poweroff, syscon-reboot and friends that are used
by many SoCs already to be re-used.
