ARM: 9467/1: mm: Don't use %pK through printk

2026-03-04T12:21:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit 012ea376a5948b025f260aa45d2a6ec5d96674ea ] Restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used through printk(). They can acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts. Switch to %px over the more secure %p as this usage is a debugging aid, gated behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL and used by WARN().

ARM: 9447/1: arm/memremap: fix arch_memremap_can_ram_remap()

2025-06-27T10:11:18+00:00

commit 96e0b355883006554a0bee3697da475971d6bba8 upstream. arm/memremap: fix arch_memremap_can_ram_remap() commit 260364d112bc ("arm[64]/memremap: don't abuse pfn_valid() to ensure presence of linear map") added the definition of arch_memremap_can_ram_remap() for arm[64] specific filtering of what pages can be used from the linear mapping. memblock_is_map_memory() was called with the pfn of the address given to arch_memremap_can_ram_remap(); however, memblock_is_map_memory() expects to be given an address for arm, not a pfn. This results in calls to memremap() returning a newly mapped area when it should return an address in the existing linear mapping. Fix this by removing the address to pfn translation and pass the address directly.

ARM: 9431/1: mm: Pair atomic_set_release() with _read_acquire()

2024-12-09T09:41:03+00:00

commit 93ee385254d53849c01dd8ab9bc9d02790ee7f0e upstream. The code for syncing vmalloc memory PGD pointers is using atomic_read() in pair with atomic_set_release() but the proper pairing is atomic_read_acquire() paired with atomic_set_release(). This is done to clearly instruct the compiler to not reorder the memcpy() or similar calls inside the section so that we do not observe changes to init_mm. memcpy() calls should be identified by the compiler as having unpredictable side effects, but let's try to be on the safe side.

ARM: 9429/1: ioremap: Sync PGDs for VMALLOC shadow

2024-12-09T09:41:03+00:00

commit d6e6a74d4cea853b5321eeabb69c611148eedefe upstream. When sync:ing the VMALLOC area to other CPUs, make sure to also sync the KASAN shadow memory for the VMALLOC area, so that we don't get stale entries for the shadow memory in the top level PGD. Since we are now copying PGDs in two instances, create a helper function named memcpy_pgd() to do the actual copying, and create a helper to map the addresses of VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_END into the corresponding shadow memory.

ARM: 9434/1: cfi: Fix compilation corner case

2024-11-12T23:51:05+00:00

When enabling expert mode CONFIG_EXPERT and using that power user mode to disable the branch prediction hardening !CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR, the assembly linker in CLANG notices that some assembly in proc-v7.S does not have corresponding C call sites, i.e. the prototypes in proc-v7-bugs.c are enclosed in ifdef CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR so this assembly: SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START(cpu_v7_smc_switch_mm) SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START(cpu_v7_hvc_switch_mm) Results in: ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_cpu_v7_smc_switch_mm >>> referenced by proc-v7.S:94 (.../arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S:94) >>> arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.o:(.text+0x108) in archive vmlinux.a ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_cpu_v7_hvc_switch_mm >>> referenced by proc-v7.S:105 (.../arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S:105) >>> arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.o:(.text+0x124) in archive vmlinux.a Fix this by adding an additional requirement that CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR has to be enabled to compile these assembly calls.

ARM: 9419/1: mm: Fix kernel memory mapping for xip kernels

2024-11-12T16:38:46+00:00

The patchset introducing kernel_sec_start/end variables to separate the kernel/lowmem memory mappings, broke the mapping of the kernel memory for xipkernels. kernel_sec_start/end variables are in RO area before the MMU is switched on for xipkernels. So these cannot be set early in boot in head.S. Fix this by setting these after MMU is switched on. xipkernels need two different mappings for kernel text (starting at CONFIG_XIP_PHYS_ADDR) and data (starting at CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET). Also, move the kernel code mapping from devicemaps_init() to map_kernel().
