x86/CPU/AMD: Prevent improper isolation of shared resources in Zen2's op cache

2026-05-15T12:48:07+00:00

commit c21b90f77687075115d989e53a8ec5e2bb427ab1 upstream. Make sure resources are not improperly shared in the op cache and cause instruction corruption this way.

x86/CPU/AMD: Add X86_FEATURE_ZEN1

2026-05-15T12:48:07+00:00

Commit 232afb557835d6f6859c73bf610bad308c96b131 upstream. Add a synthetic feature flag specifically for first generation Zen machines. There's need to have a generic flag for all Zen generations so make X86_FEATURE_ZEN be that flag.

ptrace: slightly saner 'get_dumpable()' logic

2026-05-15T12:48:07+00:00

commit 31e62c2ebbfdc3fe3dbdf5e02c92a9dc67087a3a upstream. The 'dumpability' of a task is fundamentally about the memory image of the task - the concept comes from whether it can core dump or not - and makes no sense when you don't have an associated mm. And almost all users do in fact use it only for the case where the task has a mm pointer. But we have one odd special case: ptrace_may_access() uses 'dumpable' to check various other things entirely independently of the MM (typically explicitly using flags like PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS). Including for threads that no longer have a VM (and maybe never did, like most kernel threads). It's not what this flag was designed for, but it is what it is. The ptrace code does check that the uid/gid matches, so you do have to be uid-0 to see kernel thread details, but this means that the traditional "drop capabilities" model doesn't make any difference for this all. Make it all make a *bit* more sense by saying that if you don't have a MM pointer, we'll use a cached "last dumpability" flag if the thread ever had a MM (it will be zero for kernel threads since it is never set), and require a proper CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability to override.

xfrm: esp: avoid in-place decrypt on shared skb frags

2026-05-08T10:45:22+00:00

commit f4c50a4034e62ab75f1d5cdd191dd5f9c77fdff4 upstream. MSG_SPLICE_PAGES can attach pages from a pipe directly to an skb. TCP marks such skbs with SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG after skb_splice_from_iter(), so later paths that may modify packet data can first make a private copy. The IPv4/IPv6 datagram append paths did not set this flag when splicing pages into UDP skbs. That leaves an ESP-in-UDP packet made from shared pipe pages looking like an ordinary uncloned nonlinear skb. ESP input then takes the no-COW fast path for uncloned skbs without a frag_list and decrypts in place over data that is not owned privately by the skb. Mark IPv4/IPv6 datagram splice frags with SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG, matching TCP. Also make ESP input fall back to skb_cow_data() when the flag is present, so ESP does not decrypt externally backed frags in place. Private nonlinear skb frags still use the existing fast path. This intentionally does not change ESP output. In esp_output_head(), the path that appends the ESP trailer to existing skb tailroom without calling skb_cow_data() is not reachable for nonlinear skbs: skb_tailroom() returns zero when skb->data_len is nonzero, while ESP tailen is positive. Thus ESP output will either use the separate destination-frag path or fall back to skb_cow_data().
