KVM: Introduce vcpu->wants_to_run

2026-08-23T12:16:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit a6816314af5749cd88944bfdceb270c627cdf348 ] Introduce vcpu->wants_to_run to indicate when a vCPU is in its core run loop, i.e. when the vCPU is running the KVM_RUN ioctl and immediate_exit was not set. Replace all references to vcpu->run->immediate_exit with !vcpu->wants_to_run to avoid TOCTOU races with userspace. For example, a malicious userspace could invoked KVM_RUN with immediate_exit=true and then after KVM reads it to set wants_to_run=false, flip it to false. This would result in the vCPU running in KVM_RUN with wants_to_run=false. This wouldn't cause any real bugs today but is a dangerous landmine.

powerpc/pseries: lparcfg - fix kbuf[] underflow

2026-08-23T12:16:16+00:00

commit fb442a6673ff1046bf67754957d95880fdb394b5 upstream. In lparcfg_write(), a count of 0 results in kbuf[] being indexed at -1. Check for count == 0 in the existing check for count > sizeof(kbuf) and return -EINVAL if true.

powerpc/ps3: Fix map failure path in dma_ioc0_map_pages()

2026-08-19T15:12:08+00:00

commit 0bb024f11d120abff3e8db9144a585b9d7fb8459 upstream. If lv1_put_iopte() fails in dma_ioc0_map_pages(), the error path decrements iopage but keeps using the failed mapping's offset. As a result, it repeatedly tries to invalidate the failed IOPTE slot and leaves the already installed IOPTEs valid. Recompute offset and invalidate the installed IOPTEs instead.

powerpc/spufs: fix out-of-bounds access in spufs_mem_mmap_access()

2026-07-24T13:49:16+00:00

commit 47b87f469a35b5ffc81c16eee6b13a9b6c8d55c6 upstream. spufs_mem_mmap_access() computes the local store offset as address - vma->vm_start, but bounds-checks it against vma->vm_end instead of the local store size. On 64-bit, offset is always well below vma->vm_end, so the clamp never fires and len stays unbounded against the LS_SIZE buffer returned by ctx->ops->get_ls(). Reject offsets at or beyond LS_SIZE and clamp len to the remaining space, mirroring the guard already used by spufs_mem_mmap_fault() and spufs_ps_fault().

powerpc/kexec: fix double get_cpu() imbalance in kexec_prepare_cpus

2026-07-24T13:49:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5c86f1c1f972761a04bf22f4c0618d1aa714185b ] kexec_prepare_cpus_wait() calls get_cpu() internally to obtain the current CPU id. kexec_prepare_cpus() calls kexec_prepare_cpus_wait() twice -- once for KEXEC_STATE_IRQS_OFF and once for KEXEC_STATE_REAL_MODE -- but only issues a single put_cpu() at the end, leaving preempt_count elevated by one extra nesting level. In practice the imbalance does not trigger a 'scheduling while atomic' splat because the kexec path is a one-way trip: IRQs are already disabled, no schedule() occurs after the leak, and default_machine_kexec() overwrites preempt_count with HARDIRQ_OFFSET before jumping into kexec_sequence() which never returns. However the bookkeeping is still wrong. kexec_prepare_cpus() calls local_irq_disable()/hard_irq_disable() before invoking kexec_prepare_cpus_wait(), so the CPU is already pinned and the get_cpu()/put_cpu() preempt_disable() bracketing is unnecessary. Only the current CPU id is needed, so replace get_cpu() with raw_smp_processor_id() and drop the now-unneeded put_cpu().

powerpc/powernv: fix preempt count leak in pnv_kexec_wait_secondaries_down

2026-07-24T13:49:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0ecd26e93e698c8327521910fc6296f5b84a4b92 ] pnv_kexec_wait_secondaries_down() calls get_cpu() to obtain the current CPU id but never calls the matching put_cpu(), leaking one preempt_disable() nesting level on every invocation. In practice the imbalance does not trigger a visible splat because the kexec teardown path is a one-way trip: IRQs are already disabled, no schedule() occurs after the leak, and default_machine_kexec() overwrites preempt_count with HARDIRQ_OFFSET before jumping into kexec_sequence() which never returns. However the bookkeeping is still wrong. The function only needs the current CPU id, and this path runs with interrupts disabled and the CPU pinned, so the preempt_disable() side-effect of get_cpu() is unnecessary. Replace it with raw_smp_processor_id().
