firmware: arm_ffa: Skip free_pages on RX buffer alloc failure

2026-06-01T15:43:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 09527e2c534911619d7e098729711100290bc3e1 ] If the RX buffer allocation fails in ffa_init(), the error path jumps to free_pages even though no buffer has been allocated yet. Route that case directly to free_drv_info so the cleanup path is only used after at least one RX/TX buffer allocation has succeeded.

firmware: arm_ffa: Check for NULL FF-A ID table while driver registration

[ Upstream commit 0a5e695095c557d2380131b613dea4e8d90371be ] The bus match callback assumes that every FF-A driver provides an id_table and dereferences it unconditionally.

efi: Allocate runtime workqueue before ACPI init

2026-06-01T15:43:06+00:00

commit 13c6da02e767152c9ac4330962247a5e47011035 upstream. Since commit 5894cf571e14 ("acpi/prmt: Use EFI runtime sandbox to invoke PRM handlers") ACPI PRM calls are delegated to a workqueue which runs in a kernel thread, making it easier to detect and mitigate faulting memory accesses performed by the firmware. Rafael reports that such PRM accesses may occur before efisubsys_init() executes, which is where the workqueue is allocated, leading to NULL pointer dereferences. Since acpi_init() [which triggers the early PRM accesses] executes as a subsys_initcall() as well, and has its own dependencies that may be sensitive to initcall ordering, deferring acpi_init() is not an option. So instead, split off the workqueue allocation into its own postcore initcall, as this is the only missing piece to allow EFI runtime calls to be made. This ensures that EFI runtime call (including PRM calls) are accessible to all code running at subsys_initcall() level.

efi/capsule-loader: fix incorrect sizeof in phys array reallocation

2026-05-23T11:03:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 48a428215782321b56956974f23593e40ce84b7a ] The krealloc() call for cap_info->phys in __efi_capsule_setup_info() uses sizeof(phys_addr_t *) instead of sizeof(phys_addr_t), which might be causing an undersized allocation. The allocation is also inconsistent with the initial array allocation in efi_capsule_open() that allocates one entry with sizeof(phys_addr_t), and the efi_capsule_write() function that stores phys_addr_t values (not pointers) via page_to_phys(). On 64-bit systems where sizeof(phys_addr_t) == sizeof(phys_addr_t *), this goes unnoticed. On 32-bit systems with PAE where phys_addr_t is 64-bit but pointers are 32-bit, this allocates half the required space, which might lead to a heap buffer overflow when storing physical addresses. This is similar to the bug fixed in commit fccfa646ef36 ("efi/capsule-loader: fix incorrect allocation size") which fixed the same issue at the initial allocation site.

firmware: google: framebuffer: Do not unregister platform device

2026-05-17T15:13:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5cd28bd28c8ce426b56ce4230dbd17537181d5ad ] The native driver takes over the framebuffer aperture by removing the system- framebuffer platform device. Afterwards the pointer in drvdata is dangling. Remove the entire logic around drvdata and let the kernel's aperture helpers handle this. The platform device depends on the native hardware device instead of the coreboot device anyway. When commit 851b4c14532d ("firmware: coreboot: Add coreboot framebuffer driver") added the coreboot framebuffer code, the kernel did not support device-based aperture management. Instead native driviers only removed the conflicting fbdev device. At that point, unregistering the framebuffer device most likely worked correctly. It was definitely broken after commit d9702b2a2171 ("fbdev/simplefb: Do not use struct fb_info.apertures"). So take this commit for the Fixes tag. Earlier releases might work depending on the native hardware driver.

firmware: arm_scpi: Fix device_node reference leak in probe path

x86/efi: defer freeing of boot services memory

2026-03-25T10:05:36+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

2026-03-04T12:20:34+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

2026-03-04T12:20:33+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.
