sparc64: vdso: Link with -z noexecstack

2026-05-23T11:08:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit acc4f131d5d57c2aa89db914aeb6f7bb0ab4eb4a ] The vDSO stack does not need to be executable. Prevent the linker from creating executable. For more background see commit ffcf9c5700e4 ("x86: link vdso and boot with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments"). Also prevent the following warning from the linker: sparc64-linux-ld: warning: arch/sparc/vdso/vdso-note.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack sparc64-linux-ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker Fixes: 9a08862a5d2e ("vDSO for sparc") Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Tested-by: Andreas Larsson Reviewed-by: Andreas Larsson Acked-by: Andreas Larsson Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250707144726.4008707-1-arnd@kernel.org/ Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260304-vdso-sparc64-generic-2-v6-4-d8eb3b0e1410@linutronix.de Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

fs: fix archiecture-specific compat_ftruncate64

2026-05-23T11:08:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit e43dce8a0bc09083ea1145a1a0c61d83cbe72d97 ] The "small" argument to do_sys_ftruncate indicates if > 32-bit size should be reject, but all the arch-specific compat ftruncate64 implementations get this wrong. Merge do_sys_ftruncate and ksys_ftruncate, replace the integer as boolean small flag with a descriptive one about LFS semantics, and use it correctly in the architecture-specific ftruncate64 implementations.

sparc/PCI: Initialize msi_addr_mask for OF-created PCI devices

2026-03-03T16:29:48+00:00

Recent changes replaced the use of no_64bit_msi with msi_addr_mask, which is now expected to be initialized to DMA_BIT_MASK(64) during PCI device setup. On SPARC systems, this initialization was inadvertently missed for devices instantiated from device tree nodes, leaving msi_addr_mask unset for OF-created pci_dev instances. As a result, MSI address validation fails during probe, causing affected devices to fail initialization. Initialize pdev->msi_addr_mask to DMA_BIT_MASK(64) in of_create_pci_dev() so that MSI address validation succeeds and PCI device probing works as expected.

kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS

2026-02-26T18:50:19+00:00

Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390 and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader failing to load the compressed kernel [1]. Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition. Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has never been necessary in those uses.

sparc: Fix page alignment in dma mapping

2026-02-23T07:33:51+00:00

'phys' may include an offset within the page, while previously used 'base_paddr' was already page-aligned. This caused incorrect DMA mapping in dma_4u_map_phys and dma_4v_map_phys. Fix both functions by masking 'phys' with IO_PAGE_MASK, covering both generic SPARC code and sun4v.

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook
