fs: export anon_inode_make_secure_inode() and fix secretmem LSM bypass

2025-07-10T14:03:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit cbe4134ea4bc493239786220bd69cb8a13493190 ]

Export anon_inode_make_secure_inode() to allow KVM guest_memfd to create
anonymous inodes with proper security context. This replaces the current
pattern of calling alloc_anon_inode() followed by
inode_init_security_anon() for creating security context manually.

This change also fixes a security regression in secretmem where the
S_PRIVATE flag was not cleared after alloc_anon_inode(), causing
LSM/SELinux checks to be bypassed for secretmem file descriptors.

As guest_memfd currently resides in the KVM module, we need to export this
symbol for use outside the core kernel. In the future, guest_memfd might be
moved to core-mm, at which point the symbols no longer would have to be
exported. When/if that happens is still unclear.

module: Provide EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES() helper

2025-07-10T14:03:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 707f853d7fa3ce323a6875487890c213e34d81a0 ]

Helper macro to more easily limit the export of a symbol to a given
list of modules.

Eg:

  EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES(preempt_notifier_inc, "kvm");

will limit the use of said function to kvm.ko, any other module trying
to use this symbol will refure to load (and get modpost build
failures).

ata: libata-acpi: Do not assume 40 wire cable if no devices are enabled

2025-07-10T14:03:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 33877220b8641b4cde474a4229ea92c0e3637883 ]

On at least an ASRock 990FX Extreme 4 with a VIA VT6330, the devices
have not yet been enabled by the first time ata_acpi_cbl_80wire() is
called. This means that the ata_for_each_dev loop is never entered,
and a 40 wire cable is assumed.

The VIA controller on this board does not report the cable in the PCI
config space, thus having to fall back to ACPI even though no SATA
bridge is present.

The _GTM values are correctly reported by the firmware through ACPI,
which has already set up faster transfer modes, but due to the above
the controller is forced down to a maximum of UDMA/33.

Resolve this by modifying ata_acpi_cbl_80wire() to directly return the
cable type. First, an unknown cable is assumed which preserves the mode
set by the firmware, and then on subsequent calls when the devices have
been enabled, an 80 wire cable is correctly detected.

Since the function now directly returns the cable type, it is renamed
to ata_acpi_cbl_pata_type().

usb: typec: altmodes/displayport: do not index invalid pin_assignments

2025-07-10T14:03:05+00:00

commit af4db5a35a4ef7a68046883bfd12468007db38f1 upstream.

A poorly implemented DisplayPort Alt Mode port partner can indicate
that its pin assignment capabilities are greater than the maximum
value, DP_PIN_ASSIGN_F. In this case, calls to pin_assignment_show
will cause a BRK exception due to an out of bounds array access.

Prevent for loop in pin_assignment_show from accessing
invalid values in pin_assignments by adding DP_PIN_ASSIGN_MAX
value in typec_dp.h and using i < DP_PIN_ASSIGN_MAX as a loop
condition.

Revert "ipv6: save dontfrag in cork"

2025-07-06T09:00:16+00:00

This reverts commit 8ebf2709fe4dcd0a1b7b95bf61e529ddcd3cdf51 which is
commit a18dfa9925b9ef6107ea3aa5814ca3c704d34a8a upstream.

A regression was introduced when backporting this to the stable kernels
without applying previous commits in this series.

When sending IPv6 UDP packets larger than MTU, EMSGSIZE was returned
instead of fragmenting the packets as expected.

As there is no compelling reason for this commit to be present in the
stable kernels it should be reverted.

tty: vt: make consw::con_switch() return a bool

2025-07-06T09:00:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8d5cc8eed738e3202379722295c626cba0849785 ]

The non-zero (true) return value from consw::con_switch() means a redraw
is needed. So make this return type a bool explicitly instead of int.
The latter might imply that -Eerrors are expected. They are not.

And document the hook.

tty: vt: sanitize arguments of consw::con_clear()

2025-07-06T09:00:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 559f01a0ee6d924c6fec3eaf6a5b078b15e71070 ]

In consw::con_clear():
* Height is always 1, so drop it.
* Offsets and width are always unsigned values, so re-type them as such.

This needs a new __fbcon_clear() in the fbcon code to still handle
height which might not be 1 when called internally.

Note that tests for negative count/width are left in place -- they are
taken care of in the next patches.

And document the hook.
