PCI: use generic driver_override infrastructure

2026-05-23T11:08:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit 10a4206a24013be4d558d476010cbf2eb4c9fa64 ] When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match() callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF. Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking care of proper locking internally. Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock held is intentional.

xen/privcmd: fix double free via VMA splitting

2026-04-30T09:13:05+00:00

commit 24daca4fc07f3ff8cd0e3f629cd982187f48436a upstream. privcmd_vm_ops defines .close (privcmd_close), but neither .may_split nor .open. When userspace does a partial munmap() on a privcmd mapping, the kernel splits the VMA via __split_vma(). Since may_split is NULL, the split is allowed. vm_area_dup() copies vm_private_data (a pages array allocated in alloc_empty_pages()) into the new VMA without any fixup, because there is no .open callback. Both VMAs now point to the same pages array. When the unmapped portion is closed, privcmd_close() calls: - xen_unmap_domain_gfn_range() - xen_free_unpopulated_pages() - kvfree(pages) The surviving VMA still holds the dangling pointer. When it is later destroyed, the same sequence runs again, which leads to a double free. Fix this issue by adding a .may_split callback denying the VMA split. This is XSA-487 / CVE-2026-31787 Fixes: d71f513985c2 ("xen: privcmd: support autotranslated physmap guests.")

Buffer overflow in drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c

commit 27fdbab4221b375de54bf91919798d88520c6e28 upstream. The build id returned by HYPERVISOR_xen_version(XENVER_build_id) is neither NUL terminated nor a string.

xen/privcmd: unregister xenstore notifier on module exit

2026-03-26T07:57:51+00:00

Commit 453b8fb68f36 ("xen/privcmd: restrict usage in unprivileged domU") added a xenstore notifier to defer setting the restriction target until Xenstore is ready. XEN_PRIVCMD can be built as a module, but privcmd_exit() leaves that notifier behind. Balance the notifier lifecycle by unregistering it on module exit. This is harmless even if xenstore was already ready at registration time and the notifier was never queued on the chain.

xen/privcmd: add boot control for restricted usage in domU

2026-03-20T11:06:01+00:00

When running in an unprivileged domU under Xen, the privcmd driver is restricted to allow only hypercalls against a target domain, for which the current domU is acting as a device model. Add a boot parameter "unrestricted" to allow all hypercalls (the hypervisor will still refuse destructive hypercalls affecting other guests). Make this new parameter effective only in case the domU wasn't started using secure boot, as otherwise hypercalls targeting the domU itself might result in violating the secure boot functionality. This is achieved by adding another lockdown reason, which can be tested to not being set when applying the "unrestricted" option.

xen/privcmd: restrict usage in unprivileged domU

2026-03-20T11:05:41+00:00

The Xen privcmd driver allows to issue arbitrary hypercalls from user space processes. This is normally no problem, as access is usually limited to root and the hypervisor will deny any hypercalls affecting other domains. In case the guest is booted using secure boot, however, the privcmd driver would be enabling a root user process to modify e.g. kernel memory contents, thus breaking the secure boot feature. The only known case where an unprivileged domU is really needing to use the privcmd driver is the case when it is acting as the device model for another guest. In this case all hypercalls issued via the privcmd driver will target that other guest. Fortunately the privcmd driver can already be locked down to allow only hypercalls targeting a specific domain, but this mode can be activated from user land only today. The target domain can be obtained from Xenstore, so when not running in dom0 restrict the privcmd driver to that target domain from the beginning, resolving the potential problem of breaking secure boot.

xen/xenbus: better handle backend crash

2026-03-04T14:31:40+00:00

When the backend domain crashes, coordinated device cleanup is not possible (as it involves waiting for the backend state change). In that case, toolstack forcefully removes frontend xenstore entries. xenbus_dev_changed() handles this case, and triggers device cleanup. It's possible that toolstack manages to connect new device in that place, before xenbus_dev_changed() notices the old one is missing. If that happens, new one won't be probed and will forever remain in XenbusStateInitialising. Fix this by checking the frontend's state in Xenstore. In case it has been reset to XenbusStateInitialising by Xen tools, consider this being the result of an unplug+plug operation. It's important that cleanup on such unplug doesn't modify Xenstore entries (especially the "state" key) as it belong to the new device to be probed - changing it would derail establishing connection to the new backend (most likely, closing the device before it was even connected). Handle this case by setting new xenbus_device->vanished flag to true, and check it before changing state entry. And even if xenbus_dev_changed() correctly detects the device was forcefully removed, the cleanup handling is still racy. Since this whole handling doesn't happened in a single Xenstore transaction, it's possible that toolstack might put a new device there already. Avoid re-creating the state key (which in the case of loosing the race would actually close newly attached device). The problem does not apply to frontend domain crash, as this case involves coordinated cleanup.

xen/acpi-processor: fix _CST detection using undersized evaluation buffer

2026-03-03T13:53:46+00:00

read_acpi_id() attempts to evaluate _CST using a stack buffer of sizeof(union acpi_object) (48 bytes), but _CST returns a nested Package of sub-Packages (one per C-state, each containing a register descriptor, type, latency, and power) requiring hundreds of bytes. The evaluation always fails with AE_BUFFER_OVERFLOW. On modern systems using FFH/MWAIT entry (where pblk is zero), this causes the function to return before setting the acpi_id_cst_present bit. In check_acpi_ids(), flags.power is then zero for all Phase 2 CPUs (physical CPUs beyond dom0's vCPU count), so push_cxx_to_hypervisor() is never called for them. On a system with dom0_max_vcpus=2 and 8 physical CPUs, only PCPUs 0-1 receive C-state data. PCPUs 2-7 are stuck in C0/C1 idle, unable to enter C2/C3. This costs measurable wall power (4W observed on an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K with Xen 4.20). The function never uses the _CST return value -- it only needs to know whether _CST exists. Replace the broken acpi_evaluate_object() call with acpi_has_method(), which correctly detects _CST presence using acpi_get_handle() without any buffer allocation. This brings C-state detection to parity with the P-state path, which already works correctly for Phase 2 CPUs.
