firmware: arm_scpi: Fix device_node reference leak in probe path

2026-03-25T10:03:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 879c001afbac3df94160334fe5117c0c83b2cf48 ] A device_node reference obtained from the device tree is not released on all error paths in the arm_scpi probe path. Specifically, a node returned by of_parse_phandle() could be leaked when the probe failed after the node was acquired. The probe function returns early and the shmem reference is not released. Use __free(device_node) scope-based cleanup to automatically release the reference when the variable goes out of scope.

x86/efi: defer freeing of boot services memory

2026-03-25T10:02:58+00:00

commit a4b0bf6a40f3c107c67a24fbc614510ef5719980 upstream. efi_free_boot_services() frees memory occupied by EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE and EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA using memblock_free_late(). There are two issue with that: memblock_free_late() should be used for memory allocated with memblock_alloc() while the memory reserved with memblock_reserve() should be freed with free_reserved_area(). More acutely, with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=y efi_free_boot_services() is called before deferred initialization of the memory map is complete. Benjamin Herrenschmidt reports that this causes a leak of ~140MB of RAM on EC2 t3a.nano instances which only have 512MB or RAM. If the freed memory resides in the areas that memory map for them is still uninitialized, they won't be actually freed because memblock_free_late() calls memblock_free_pages() and the latter skips uninitialized pages. Using free_reserved_area() at this point is also problematic because __free_page() accesses the buddy of the freed page and that again might end up in uninitialized part of the memory map. Delaying the entire efi_free_boot_services() could be problematic because in addition to freeing boot services memory it updates efi.memmap without any synchronization and that's undesirable late in boot when there is concurrency. More robust approach is to only defer freeing of the EFI boot services memory. Split efi_free_boot_services() in two. First efi_unmap_boot_services() collects ranges that should be freed into an array then efi_free_boot_services() later frees them after deferred init is complete.

EFI/CPER: don't go past the ARM processor CPER record buffer

2026-03-04T12:20:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit eae21beecb95a3b69ee5c38a659f774e171d730e ] There's a logic inside GHES/CPER to detect if the section_length is too small, but it doesn't detect if it is too big. Currently, if the firmware receives an ARM processor CPER record stating that a section length is big, kernel will blindly trust section_length, producing a very long dump. For instance, a 67 bytes record with ERR_INFO_NUM set 46198 and section length set to 854918320 would dump a lot of data going a way past the firmware memory-mapped area. Fix it by adding a logic to prevent it to go past the buffer if ERR_INFO_NUM is too big, making it report instead: [Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 1 [Hardware Error]: event severity: recoverable [Hardware Error]: Error 0, type: recoverable [Hardware Error]: section_type: ARM processor error [Hardware Error]: MIDR: 0xff304b2f8476870a [Hardware Error]: section length: 854918320, CPER size: 67 [Hardware Error]: section length is too big [Hardware Error]: firmware-generated error record is incorrect [Hardware Error]: ERR_INFO_NUM is 46198 Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Reviewed-by: Jonathan Cameron Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel Reviewed-by: Hanjun Guo [ rjw: Subject and changelog tweaks ] Link: https://patch.msgid.link/41cd9f6b3ace3cdff7a5e864890849e4b1c58b63.1767871950.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

EFI/CPER: don't dump the entire memory region

2026-03-04T12:20:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 55cc6fe5716f678f06bcb95140882dfa684464ec ] The current logic at cper_print_fw_err() doesn't check if the error record length is big enough to handle offset. On a bad firmware, if the ofset is above the actual record, length -= offset will underflow, making it dump the entire memory. The end result can be: - the logic taking a lot of time dumping large regions of memory; - data disclosure due to the memory dumps; - an OOPS, if it tries to dump an unmapped memory region. Fix it by checking if the section length is too small before doing a hex dump.

efi/cper: Fix cper_bits_to_str buffer handling and return value

commit d7f1b4bdc7108be1b178e1617b5f45c8918e88d7 upstream. The return value calculation was incorrect: `return len - buf_size;` Initially `len = buf_size`, then `len` decreases with each operation. This results in a negative return value on success. Fix by returning `buf_size - len` which correctly calculates the actual number of bytes written.

firmware: arm_scmi: Fix unused notifier-block in unregister

2026-01-11T14:19:27+00:00

In scmi_devm_notifier_unregister(), the notifier-block argument was ignored and never passed to devres_release(). As a result, the function always returned -ENOENT and failed to unregister the notifier. Drivers that depend on this helper for teardown could therefore hit unexpected failures, including kernel panics. Commit 264a2c520628 ("firmware: arm_scmi: Simplify scmi_devm_notifier_unregister") removed the faulty code path during refactoring and hence this fix is not required upstream.

efi/cper: align ARM CPER type with UEFI 2.9A/2.10 specs

[ Upstream commit 96b010536ee020e716d28d9b359a4bcd18800aeb ] Up to UEFI spec 2.9, the type byte of CPER struct for ARM processor was defined simply as: Type at byte offset 4: - Cache error - TLB Error - Bus Error - Micro-architectural Error All other values are reserved Yet, there was no information about how this would be encoded. Spec 2.9A errata corrected it by defining: - Bit 1 - Cache Error - Bit 2 - TLB Error - Bit 3 - Bus Error - Bit 4 - Micro-architectural Error All other values are reserved That actually aligns with the values already defined on older versions at N.2.4.1. Generic Processor Error Section. Spec 2.10 also preserve the same encoding as 2.9A. Adjust CPER and GHES handling code for both generic and ARM processors to properly handle UEFI 2.9A and 2.10 encoding.
