[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.15 010/110] drm/xe: Fix CFI violation when accessing sysfs files

[Sasha Levin]

From: Jeevaka Prabu Badrappan <jeevaka.badrappan@intel.com>

[ Upstream commit 4ea512714c42c69828b4a2647d206bf404043ad5 ]

When an attribute group is created with sysfs_create_group() or
sysfs_create_files() the ->sysfs_ops() callback is set to
kobj_sysfs_ops, which sets the ->show() callback to kobj_attr_show().
kobj_attr_show() uses container_of() to get the ->show() callback
from the attribute it was passed, meaning the ->show() callback needs
to be the same type as the ->show() callback in 'struct kobj_attribute'.

However, cur_freq_show() has the type of the ->show() callback in
'struct device_attribute', which causes a CFI violation when opening the
'id' sysfs node under gtidle/freq/throttle. This happens to work because
the layout of 'struct kobj_attribute' and 'struct device_attribute' are
the same, so the container_of() cast happens to allow the ->show()
callback to still work.

Changed the type of cur_freq_show() and few more functions to match the
->show() callback in 'struct kobj_attributes' to resolve the CFI
violation.

CFI failure seen while accessing sysfs files under

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons: ## Primary Analysis **1. Important Bug Fix for
Security Feature** The commit fixes Control Flow Integrity (CFI)
violations in the xe driver's sysfs interface. CFI is a critical
security feature in modern kernels that prevents function pointer
hijacking attacks. CFI violations can cause: - System crashes when
accessing sysfs files (as shown in the stack trace) - Potential security
vulnerabilities if exploited - Poor user experience when monitoring GPU
frequency/throttling through sysfs **2. Small, Contained Fix with Clear
Impact** The changes are purely type safety fixes that: - Convert
`struct device_attribute` callbacks to `struct kobj_attribute` callbacks
across 3 files - Change function signatures from `(struct device *dev,
struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf)` to `(struct kobject *kobj,
struct kobj_attribute *attr, char *buf)` - Update attribute definitions
from `DEVICE_ATTR_RO/RW` to `__ATTR_RO/RW` with proper kobj_attribute
types - Add `struct device *dev = kobj_to_dev(kobj);` calls to maintain
functionality **3. Pattern Matches Successful Backports** This commit
follows the exact same pattern as Similar Commits #3-#5 (all marked
"Backport Status: YES"): - ACPI platform-profile CFI fix (commit
2e6674dfefd8) - already backported - Intel uncore-frequency CFI fix -
ACPI bgrt CFI fix All these commits fix the same fundamental issue:
mismatched function pointer types when sysfs groups are created with
`sysfs_create_group()` vs `device_create_file()`. **4. Driver
Availability and Kernel Version Context** The xe driver was introduced
in kernel 6.10, which means: - This fix is relevant for stable trees
6.10+ - The affected code exists in current stable kernels - Users with
Intel discrete GPUs (Tiger Lake+) would encounter this bug **5. Low
Risk, High Value** - **Zero functional changes** - same behavior, just
type-safe - **No architectural changes** - purely corrective - **Self-
contained** - only affects xe driver sysfs interface - **Clear error
symptoms** - CFI failures with specific stack traces make issues obvious
- **High user impact** - prevents crashes when monitoring GPU
performance **6. Meets Stable Tree Criteria** - ✅ Fixes important bugs
affecting users (CFI crashes) - ✅ Small and contained (type signature
changes only) - ✅ No clear side effects beyond fixing the issue - ✅ No
major architectural changes - ✅ Confined to xe subsystem - ✅ Minimal
regression risk The code changes in `xe_gt_freq.c`, `xe_gt_idle.c`, and
`xe_gt_throttle.c` are straightforward type corrections that maintain
identical functionality while ensuring CFI compliance. This is exactly
the type of safety/correctness fix that stable trees should include.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons: **Security Hardening:** - The commit replaces
`__copy_from_user()` with `copy_from_user()` across multiple user-kernel
boundary points in the xe driver - `copy_from_user()` includes
additional safety checks (like `access_ok()` validation) that
`__copy_from_user()` lacks - This change was suggested by Kees Cook, a
prominent kernel security maintainer, indicating its security importance
**Risk Assessment:** - **Low risk of regression**: The change is purely
substituting one copy function for another with identical return
semantics - **No functional changes**: Both functions return the same
error codes and handle data the same way - **Contained scope**: Only
affects the xe driver, limiting potential impact - **Small and
focused**: Simple function substitution across 10 call sites in 6 files
**Historical Precedent:** - Similar security hardening commits in the
DRM subsystem have been backported (commits #3 and #5 in the examples) -
Both historical YES commits involved improving security around user-
kernel data copying operations - The pattern of hardening copy
operations is consistent with stable tree acceptance criteria
**Practical Benefits:** - Improves security posture by adding proper
address validation checks - Prevents potential security vulnerabilities
related to invalid user space addresses - Follows kernel security best
practices for user space data access **Stable Tree Criteria
Compliance:** - ✅ **Important security improvement**: Hardens user-
kernel interface - ✅ **Small and contained**: Limited to function
substitution - ✅ **Low regression risk**: Identical functionality with
added safety - ✅ **Clear benefit**: Enhanced security validation - ✅
**No architectural changes**: Pure function replacement The commit
represents a security hardening improvement that enhances the robustness
of user-kernel data copying in the xe driver without introducing
functional changes or significant regression risk, making it an ideal
candidate for stable tree backporting.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.15 048/110] drm/xe/vf: Fix guc_info debugfs for VFs

[Sasha Levin]

From: Daniele Ceraolo Spurio <daniele.ceraolospurio@intel.com>

[ Upstream commit dba7d17d50b4488c697e991d18a0e55669d9fa59 ]

The guc_info debugfs attempts to read a bunch of registers that the VFs
doesn't have access to, so fix it by skipping the reads.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's
my analysis: ## Bug Fix Analysis The commit addresses a **specific
runtime failure** in VF (Virtual Function) environments where the
`guc_info` debugfs interface attempts to read hardware registers that
VFs don't have access to. This is a clear bug fix that prevents crashes
or access violations. ## Code Change Assessment The fix is **minimal and
surgical**: ```c - fw_ref = xe_force_wake_get(gt_to_fw(gt), XE_FW_GT); -
if (!fw_ref) - return; + if (!IS_SRIOV_VF(gt_to_xe(gt))) { + fw_ref =
xe_force_wake_get(gt_to_fw(gt), XE_FW_GT); + if (!fw_ref) + return; ```
The change wraps the problematic register access code in a VF check,
only executing the register reads for non-VF environments. This is
exactly the right approach for hardware access restrictions. ## Backport
Suitability Criteria ✅ **Fixes user-affecting bug**: VFs attempting to
use debugfs would fail/crash ✅ **Small and contained**: Only 4 lines
changed, wrapping existing code in a conditional ✅ **No architectural
changes**: Maintains existing functionality for PF, just skips for VF ✅
**Minimal regression risk**: The conditional is well-established
(`IS_SRIOV_VF`) and used throughout the codebase ✅ **Clear issue
reference**: Closes GitLab issue #4775 ✅ **Debugfs-specific**: Non-
critical path, but important for system stability ## Similar Commit
Pattern Analysis This follows the same pattern as other VF-related fixes
in the xe driver, where hardware access is conditional based on
`IS_SRIOV_VF()` checks. The kernel tree shows numerous similar patterns
where VF access restrictions are handled this way. ## Risk Assessment
**Very Low Risk**: The change only affects the debugfs interface,
doesn't modify core functionality, and uses an established conditional
pattern. For VF environments, it prevents access violations; for non-VF
environments, behavior is unchanged. This is a textbook stable backport
candidate: it fixes a clear bug with minimal, contained changes and
near-zero regression risk.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.15 077/110] drm/xe/uc: Remove static from loop variable

From: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@intel.com>

[ Upstream commit 75584c8213d341ddd5b7c72abf822e62f4b3ab27 ]

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's
my extensive analysis: ## Commit Analysis **Type of Issue:** This commit
fixes an incorrect use of the `static` storage class specifier on a
local variable that should be a simple `const` pointer. **Code
Analysis:** - The problematic line changes `static const struct
uc_fw_entry *entries;` to `const struct uc_fw_entry *entries;` - This
variable is used as a loop iteration pointer in the
`uc_fw_auto_select()` function - The variable gets assigned from
`blobs_all[uc_fw->type].entries` and is used to iterate through firmware
entries - The `static` keyword is incorrect here because this should be
a local variable that gets reinitialized on each function call **Impact
Assessment:** - **Bug severity:** This is a subtle but real bug that
affects driver correctness - **User impact:** Could cause firmware
selection issues in Intel Xe GPU drivers, potentially leading to
graphics driver failures or incorrect firmware loading - **Risk:** The
incorrect `static` storage could cause the `entries` pointer to retain
stale values across function calls, leading to unpredictable firmware
selection behavior **Backport Suitability Criteria:** 1. ✅ **Fixes a
real bug:** Yes, incorrect storage class affects program correctness 2.
✅ **Small and contained:** Single line change, minimal risk 3. ✅ **No
side effects:** Pure bug fix with no behavioral changes beyond
correcting the error 4. ✅ **No architectural changes:** Simple variable
declaration fix 5. ✅ **Minimal regression risk:** Extremely low risk -
makes the code work as originally intended 6. ✅ **Follows stable tree
rules:** Important bugfix, minimal risk, contained change **Historical
Precedent:** This commit is nearly identical to the i915 commit
`5821a0bbb4c3` which was backported (marked as "YES" in the reference
commits). Both commits: - Fix the exact same type of bug (accidental
`static` on local variable) - Affect similar firmware selection code in
Intel GPU drivers - Have identical risk profiles and change patterns -
Were authored by the same team working on Intel GPU microcontroller
firmware **Conclusion:** This is a clear candidate for backporting - it
fixes a genuine bug that could affect system stability, has minimal risk
of regression, and follows the established pattern of similar fixes that
have been successfully backported.
