lib/vsprintf: Check pointer before dereferencing in time_and_date()

2026-01-11T14:21:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 372a12bd5df0199aa234eaf8ef31ed7ecd61d40f ] The pointer may be invalid when gets to the printf(). In particular the time_and_date() dereferencing it in some cases without checking. Move the check from rtc_str() to time_and_date() to cover all cases.

minmax: don't use max() in situations that want a C constant expression

2025-10-02T11:42:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit cb04e8b1d2f24c4c2c92f7b7529031fc35a16fed ] We only had a couple of array[] declarations, and changing them to just use 'MAX()' instead of 'max()' fixes the issue. This will allow us to simplify our min/max macros enormously, since they can now unconditionally use temporary variables to avoid using the argument values multiple times.

lib/vsprintf: Fix %pfwf when current node refcount == 0

2024-01-01T12:42:46+00:00

commit 5c47251e8c4903111608ddcba2a77c0c425c247c upstream. A refcount issue can appeared in __fwnode_link_del() due to the pr_debug() call: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 901 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0xe5/0x110 Call Trace: ... of_node_get+0x1e/0x30 of_fwnode_get+0x28/0x40 fwnode_full_name_string+0x34/0x90 fwnode_string+0xdb/0x140 ... vsnprintf+0x17b/0x630 ... __fwnode_link_del+0x25/0xa0 fwnode_links_purge+0x39/0xb0 of_node_release+0xd9/0x180 ... Indeed, an fwnode (of_node) is being destroyed and so, of_node_release() is called because the of_node refcount reached 0. From of_node_release() several function calls are done and lead to a pr_debug() calls with %pfwf to print the fwnode full name. The issue is not present if we change %pfwf to %pfwP. To print the full name, %pfwf iterates over the current node and its parents and obtain/drop a reference to all nodes involved. In order to allow to print the full name (%pfwf) of a node while it is being destroyed, do not obtain/drop a reference to this current node.

lib/vsprintf: split out sprintf() and friends

2023-08-21T20:46:24+00:00

Patch series "lib/vsprintf: Rework header inclusions", v3. Some patches that reduce the mess with the header inclusions related to vsprintf.c module. Each patch has its own description, and has no dependencies to each other, except the collisions over modifications of the same places. Hence the series. This patch (of 2): kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. sprintf() and friends are used in many drivers without need of the full kernel.h dependency train with it. Here is the attempt on cleaning it up by splitting out sprintf() and friends.

mm, printk: introduce new format %pGt for page_type

2023-03-28T23:20:09+00:00

%pGp format is used to display 'flags' field of a struct page. However, some page flags (i.e. PG_buddy, see page-flags.h for more details) are stored in page_type field. To display human-readable output of page_type, introduce %pGt format. It is important to note the meaning of bits are different in page_type. if page_type is 0xffffffff, no flags are set. Setting PG_buddy (0x00000080) flag results in a page_type of 0xffffff7f. Clearing a bit actually means setting a flag. Bits in page_type are inverted when displaying type names. Only values for which page_type_has_type() returns true are considered as page_type, to avoid confusion with mapcount values. if it returns false, only raw values are displayed and not page type names.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld: - Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it, there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an interval: get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil) get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX] get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil] Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in improvements throughout the tree. I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next, there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the second week. This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout. - More consistent use of get_random_canary(). - Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and simplification in configuration. - The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works in all relevant contexts. - The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to prevent accidental leakage. These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter. - Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key, replacing an sleep loop wart. - The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes going through helpers better suited for other cases. - The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy. But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter, without the absent latent entropy variable. - The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2). - The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will cause latencies. * tag 'random-6.2-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random: (23 commits) random: include in the right header random: align entropy_timer_state to cache line random: mix in cycle counter when jitter timer fires random: spread out jitter callback to different CPUs random: remove extraneous period and add a missing one in comments efi: random: refresh non-volatile random seed when RNG is initialized vsprintf: initialize siphash key using notifier random: add back async readiness notifier random: reseed in delayed work rather than on-demand random: always mix cycle counter in add_latent_entropy() hw_random: use add_hwgenerator_randomness() for early entropy random: modernize documentation comment on get_random_bytes() random: adjust comment to account for removed function random: remove early archrandom abstraction random: use random.trust_{bootloader,cpu} command line option only stackprotector: actually use get_random_canary() stackprotector: move get_random_canary() into stackprotector.h treewide: use get_random_u32_inclusive() when possible treewide: use get_random_u32_{above,below}() instead of manual loop treewide: use get_random_u32_below() instead of deprecated function ...
