sparc: led: avoid trimming a newline from empty writes

2026-07-24T14:20:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7eb475e8a738ee6fd1260aa59ddccb610fdd4300 ] led_proc_write() duplicates up to LED_MAX_LENGTH bytes with memdup_user_nul() and then unconditionally inspects buf[count - 1] to strip a trailing newline. A zero-length write therefore reads one byte before the duplicated buffer. The previous version rejected empty writes, but empty input already falls through to the existing default case and turns the LED off like any other unrecognized string. Preserve that behavior and only skip the newline trim when there is no input byte to inspect. Fixes: ee1858d3122d ("[SPARC]: Add sun4m LED driver.")

sparc: Avoid -Wunused-but-set-parameter in clear_user_page()

2026-07-24T14:20:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9bc0bd9617964804dc02e6ee2413af42c4a50d6b ] The loop in clear_user_pages() iterates over all pages and calls clear_user_page() for each of them. During the loop "vaddr" is modified. However on sparc clear_user() is a macro which does not use "vaddr". The compiler sees a variable which is modified but never used and emits a warning for that: include/linux/highmem.h: In function 'clear_user_pages': include/linux/highmem.h:234:63: warning: parameter 'vaddr' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-parameter=] static inline void clear_user_pages(void *addr, unsigned long vaddr, Other architectures use an inline function for clear_user_page() which avoids the warning. This is not possible on sparc, as sparc_flush_page_to_ram() is not yet declared where clear_user_page() is defined. Including cacheflush_32.h will trigger recursive and lots of other issues. So hide the warning with a cast to (void) instead. While we are here, do the same for copy_user_page().

uaccess: unify inline vs outline copy_{from,to}_user() selection

2026-07-24T14:19:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit c02be2ad2b88c67c5d7c06b6aa7083b5b40e1077 ] The kernel allows arches to select between inline and outline implementations of the copy_{from,to}_user() by defining individual INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and INLINE_COPY_TO_USER, correspondingly. However, all arches enable or disable them always together. Without the real use-case for one helper being inlined while the other outlined, having independent controls is excessive and error prone. Switch the codebase to the single unified INLINE_COPY_USER control.

ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic

2026-05-21T12:20:58+00:00

On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded. To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

bpf: Pass bpf_verifier_env to JIT

2026-04-16T14:03:40+00:00

Pass bpf_verifier_env to bpf_int_jit_compile(). The follow-up patch will use env->insn_aux_data in the JIT stage to detect indirect jump targets. Since bpf_prog_select_runtime() can be called by cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c code without verifier, introduce helper __bpf_prog_select_runtime() to accept the env parameter. Remove the call to bpf_prog_select_runtime() in bpf_prog_load(), and switch to call __bpf_prog_select_runtime() in the verifier, with env variable passed. The original bpf_prog_select_runtime() is preserved for cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c, where env is NULL. Now all constants blinding calls are moved into the verifier, except the cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c cases. The instructions arrays are adjusted by bpf_patch_insn_data() function for normal cases, so there is no need to call adjust_insn_arrays() in bpf_jit_blind_constants(). Remove it.

bpf: Move constants blinding out of arch-specific JITs

2026-04-16T14:03:40+00:00

During the JIT stage, constants blinding rewrites instructions but only rewrites the private instruction copy of the JITed subprog, leaving the global env->prog->insnsi and env->insn_aux_data untouched. This causes a mismatch between subprog instructions and the global state, making it difficult to use the global data in the JIT. To avoid this mismatch, and given that all arch-specific JITs already support constants blinding, move it to the generic verifier code, and switch to rewrite the global env->prog->insnsi with the global states adjusted, as other rewrites in the verifier do. This removes the constants blinding calls in each JIT, which are largely duplicated code across architectures. Since constants blinding is only required for JIT, and there are two JIT entry functions, jit_subprogs() for BPF programs with multiple subprogs and bpf_prog_select_runtime() for programs with no subprogs, move the constants blinding invocation into these two functions. In the verifier path, bpf_patch_insn_data() is used to keep global verifier auxiliary data in sync with patched instructions. A key question is whether this global auxiliary data should be restored on the failure path. Besides instructions, bpf_patch_insn_data() adjusts: - prog->aux->poke_tab - env->insn_array_maps - env->subprog_info - env->insn_aux_data For prog->aux->poke_tab, it is only used by JIT or only meaningful after JIT succeeds, so it does not need to be restored on the failure path. For env->insn_array_maps, when JIT fails, programs using insn arrays are rejected by bpf_insn_array_ready() due to missing JIT addresses. Hence, env->insn_array_maps is only meaningful for JIT and does not need to be restored. For subprog_info, if jit_subprogs fails and CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is not enabled, kernel falls back to interpreter. In this case, env->subprog_info is used to determine subprogram stack depth. So it must be restored on failure. For env->insn_aux_data, it is freed by clear_insn_aux_data() at the end of bpf_check(). Before freeing, clear_insn_aux_data() loops over env->insn_aux_data to release jump targets recorded in it. The loop uses env->prog->len as the array length, but this length no longer matches the actual size of the adjusted env->insn_aux_data array after constants blinding. To address it, a simple approach is to keep insn_aux_data as adjusted after failure, since it will be freed shortly, and record its actual size for the loop in clear_insn_aux_data(). But since clear_insn_aux_data() uses the same index to loop over both env->prog->insnsi and env->insn_aux_data, this approach results in incorrect index for the insnsi array. So an alternative approach is adopted: clone the original env->insn_aux_data before blinding and restore it after failure, similar to env->prog. For classic BPF programs, constants blinding works as before since it is still invoked from bpf_prog_select_runtime().
