[ Upstream commit a4447c0693830d5ecadd6e755cb7fdc55d86aacc ]

The scmi_notify() function is called from interrupt context to queue
received notification events onto a per-protocol kfifo. When the kfifo
is full, it logs a warning via dev_warn() for every dropped event.

Under conditions where the platform sends a burst of SCMI notifications
faster than the deferred worker can drain the queue, this results in a
flood of dev_warn() calls from IRQ context. Each call acquires the
console lock and may execute blocking console writes, causing the CPU
to be held in interrupt context for an extended period and leading to
observable system stalls.

Fix this by switching to dev_warn_ratelimited() to limit the frequency
of log messages when the notification queue is full. This reduces
console overhead in interrupt context and prevents CPU stalls caused by
excessive logging, while still preserving diagnostic visibility.

[ Upstream commit 8ae5f8e4836667fcaffdf2e3c6068b0a8b364dd8 ]

ffa_partition_info_get() passes uuid_str directly to uuid_parse()
without a NULL check. When a caller passes NULL, uuid_parse() -&gt;
__uuid_parse() -&gt; uuid_is_valid() dereferences the pointer, causing
a kernel panic:

  |  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
  |  0000000000000040
  |  pc : uuid_parse+0x40/0xac
  |  lr : ffa_partition_info_get+0x1c/0x94 [arm_ffa]

Add a NULL guard before uuid_parse() so a NULL argument returns
-ENODEV instead of crashing. Callers are expected to always supply
a valid partition UUID, so NULL is not a supported input.

scmi_power_name_get() does not validate the domain number passed by the

Fix this by returning "unknown" for invalid domains, like
scmi_reset_name_get() does.

The SENSOR_CONFIG_GET response contains a 32-bit sensor_config field,
and the xfer is initialized with a 4-byte RX buffer. Reading it with
get_unaligned_le64() can consume bytes past the returned payload.

Use get_unaligned_le32() to match the protocol layout and the allocated
response size.

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.

<title>efi: Allocate runtime workqueue before ACPI init</title>

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.

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

[ Upstream commit 48a428215782321b56956974f23593e40ce84b7a ]

The krealloc() call for cap_info-&gt;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.

[ 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.

commit f3850d399de3b6142b02315227ef9e772ed0c302 upstream.

Remove the flag IORESOURCE_BUSY flag from coreboot's framebuffer
resource. It prevents simpledrm from successfully requesting the
range for its own use; resulting in errors such as

[    2.775430] simple-framebuffer simple-framebuffer.0: [drm] could not acquire memory region [mem 0x80000000-0x80407fff flags 0x80000200]

As with other uses of simple-framebuffer, the simple-framebuffer
device should only declare it's I/O resources, but not actively use
them.
