[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 41/58] ACPI: bus: Bail out if acpi_kobj registration fails

[Sasha Levin]

From: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@gmx.de>

[ Upstream commit 94a370fc8def6038dbc02199db9584b0b3690f1a ]

The ACPI sysfs code will fail to initialize if acpi_kobj is NULL,
together with some ACPI drivers.

Follow the other firmware subsystems and bail out if the kobject
cannot be registered.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's
the detailed analysis: **Bug Fix Nature**: The commit fixes a real bug
where ACPI initialization continues silently even when `acpi_kobj`
registration fails. This creates an inconsistent system state where ACPI
sysfs functionality and some drivers that depend on `acpi_kobj` will
fail later without clear indication of the root cause. **Code Change
Analysis**: - Changes `pr_debug()` to `pr_err()` for better visibility
of the failure - Returns `-ENOMEM` immediately when
`kobject_create_and_add()` fails instead of continuing - The existing
`kobject_put(acpi_kobj)` cleanup in the error path after
`acpi_bus_init()` is already present **Comparison with Similar
Commits**: This follows the exact pattern of Similar Commit #1 (Status:
YES) which added `kobject_put()` cleanup. Both commits address resource
management issues in the same function (`acpi_init`) and represent
important bugfixes with minimal risk. **Risk Assessment**: - Very low
risk - only affects the error path when kobject creation fails - Early
failure is better than silent failure leading to confusing symptoms
later - Change is contained to a single function with clear error
handling - Consistent with how other firmware subsystems handle kobject
registration failures **Stable Tree Criteria Met**: - Fixes important
bug affecting system reliability - Minimal and contained change - No
architectural modifications - Clear improvement in error handling and
debugging The commit addresses a legitimate reliability issue where ACPI
would continue initialization with a NULL `acpi_kobj`, leading to
failures in dependent subsystems that would be harder to diagnose than
an early, clear failure.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 52/58] ACPICA: Avoid sequence overread in call to strncmp()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Ahmed Salem <x0rw3ll@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 64b9dfd0776e9c38d733094859a09f13282ce6f8 ]

ACPICA commit 8b83a8d88dfec59ea147fad35fc6deea8859c58c

ap_get_table_length() checks if tables are valid by
calling ap_is_valid_header(). The latter then calls
ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG(Table->Signature).

ap_is_valid_header() accepts struct acpi_table_header as an argument, so
the signature size is always fixed to 4 bytes.

The problem is when the string comparison is between ACPI-defined table
signature and ACPI_SIG_RSDP. Common ACPI table header specifies the
Signature field to be 4 bytes long[1], with the exception of the RSDP
structure whose signature is 8 bytes long "RSD PTR " (including the
trailing blank character)[2]. Calling strncmp(sig, rsdp_sig, 8) would
then result in a sequence overread[3] as sig would be smaller (4 bytes)
than the specified bound (8 bytes).

As a workaround, pass the bound conditionally based on the size of the
signature being passed.

Now I understand the issue! Let me analyze the problem: **Analysis:**
**YES** - This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. ##
Detailed Analysis: ### The Problem: The commit fixes a **buffer overread
vulnerability** in the `ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG` macro. The issue occurs
when: 1. `ap_is_valid_header()` accepts a `struct acpi_table_header
*table` parameter 2. `struct acpi_table_header` has a `signature` field
that is only **4 bytes** (`char signature[ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE]` where
`ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE = 4`) 3. The original `ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG(a)`
macro calls `strncmp(a, ACPI_SIG_RSDP, 8)` - comparing **8 bytes** 4.
When `table->signature` (4 bytes) is passed to this macro, `strncmp`
reads **beyond the bounds** of the signature field, causing a buffer
overread ### The Fix: The new macro implementation: ```c #define
ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG(a) (!strncmp (ACPI_CAST_PTR (char, (a)),
ACPI_SIG_RSDP, (sizeof(a) < 8) ? ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE : 8)) ``` This
intelligently chooses the comparison length: - If `sizeof(a) < 8`, it
uses `ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE` (4 bytes) - Otherwise, it uses the full 8 bytes
for legitimate RSDP signatures ### Why This Should Be Backported: 1.
**Security Issue**: This is a buffer overread that could potentially
lead to information disclosure or memory corruption 2. **Minimal Risk**:
The change is a small, surgical fix to a macro with clear logic 3.
**Wide Impact**: The macro is used in multiple places including: -
Kernel ACPI subsystem (`drivers/acpi/acpica/tbprint.c`, `tbxfroot.c`) -
Boot code (`arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c`) - ACPI tools (userspace
tools) 4. **Compiler Warnings**: This likely fixes `-Wstringop-overread`
compiler warnings, improving code quality 5. **No Functional Change**:
The fix maintains the same intended behavior while preventing the
overread 6. **Follows Stable Rules**: This is exactly the type of
important bugfix that stable trees are meant to include ### Similar
Commit Precedent: Similar commit #3 (Status: YES) shows that ACPI
compilation warning fixes have been backported before, and this is a
more serious issue (actual buffer overread vs. just truncation
warnings). The fix addresses a real memory safety issue in a fundamental
ACPI macro used throughout the kernel, making it an excellent candidate
for stable backporting.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 53/58] ACPICA: utilities: Fix overflow check in vsnprintf()

[Sasha Levin]

From: gldrk <me@rarity.fan>

[ Upstream commit 12b660251007e00a3e4d47ec62dbe3a7ace7023e ]

ACPICA commit d9d59b7918514ae55063b93f3ec041b1a569bf49

**YES** This commit should definitely be backported to stable kernel
trees. Here's my detailed analysis: ## Critical Bug Analysis This commit
fixes a serious overflow vulnerability in the ACPICA vsnprintf()
function that affects 64-bit systems. The commit message explicitly
states "The old version breaks sprintf on 64-bit systems for buffers
outside [0..UINT32_MAX]", indicating this is a critical functionality
bug. ## Code Change Analysis The fix replaces problematic boundary
checking logic: **Old problematic code:** ```c if (size !=
ACPI_UINT32_MAX) { end = string + size; } else { end =
ACPI_CAST_PTR(char, ACPI_UINT32_MAX); } ``` **New safe code:** ```c size
= ACPI_MIN(size, ACPI_PTR_DIFF(ACPI_MAX_PTR, string)); end = string +
size; ``` ## Why This Needs Backporting 1. **Security Issue**: The old
code could cause buffer overflows when `string + size` exceeds the
maximum pointer value on 64-bit systems, potentially leading to memory
corruption. 2. **Functional Breakage**: As stated in the commit message,
sprintf() functionality is completely broken for large buffers on 64-bit
systems, which could cause system crashes or boot failures. 3. **Low
Risk Fix**: The change is minimal and well-contained, using proper
ACPICA macros (`ACPI_MIN`, `ACPI_PTR_DIFF`, `ACPI_MAX_PTR`) that are
designed for safe pointer arithmetic. 4. **Core Utility Function**: This
affects `vsnprintf()`, a fundamental string formatting function used
throughout ACPICA, meaning the impact could be widespread. ## Comparison
to Similar Commits Unlike the previous ACPICA commits shown (which were
mostly code style changes, fallthrough annotations, or parameter
additions), this commit fixes an actual functional bug that breaks core
functionality on 64-bit systems. ## Stable Tree Criteria Met - ✅ Fixes
important bug affecting users - ✅ Small, contained change - ✅ Minimal
regression risk - ✅ Affects critical subsystem (ACPICA string handling)
- ✅ Clear technical necessity (prevents crashes/corruption) This is
exactly the type of critical bugfix that stable trees are designed to
carry.

The search failed because this is the current version in the kernel
tree, but the commit we're analyzing hasn't been applied yet. Let me
analyze this commit based on the information provided. ## Analysis
**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. ###
Detailed Analysis: **1. Nature of the Fix:** The commit adds the "TUXEDO
InfinityBook Pro AMD Gen9" laptop to the `acpi_ec_no_wakeup[]` DMI quirk
list. This is a targeted fix for spurious wakeups from suspend-to-idle
(s2idle) caused by EC (Embedded Controller) interrupts on a specific
laptop model. **2. Code Changes:** The change is minimal and surgical: -
Adds a single new DMI entry to an existing quirk table - Uses
`DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "GXxHRXx")` to identify the specific device -
Includes a comment identifying the device clearly - No functional code
logic changes - only data structure modification **3. Comparison with
Historical Similar Commits:** Looking at the historical commits
provided: - **Similar Commit #1 (NO):** Added HP ZHAN 66 Pro - marked as
NO for backporting - **Similar Commit #2 (YES):** Fixed ThinkPad X1
Carbon 6th DMI matching - marked as YES - **Similar Commit #3 (NO):**
Added ThinkPad X1 Yoga 3rd - marked as NO - **Similar Commit #4 (YES):**
GPIO quirk for GPD G1619-04 with `Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org` - marked
as YES - **Similar Commit #5 (YES):** Removed duplicate entry - marked
as YES **4. Stable Tree Criteria Assessment:** ✅ **Fixes important user-
visible bug:** Spurious wakeups significantly impact user experience and
battery life ✅ **Small and contained change:** Only adds one DMI table
entry, no logic changes ✅ **Low risk of regression:** DMI quirks are
device-specific and don't affect other systems ✅ **Well-tested
pattern:** The `acpi_ec_no_wakeup` mechanism is well-established and
widely used ✅ **Critical subsystem appropriately handled:** ACPI EC is
critical but this change is isolated to one device **5. Risk
Assessment:** - **Risk to target device:** Minimal - disables EC wakeup
which is the intended behavior to fix spurious wakeups - **Risk to other
devices:** None - DMI matching is device-specific - **Risk of
regression:** Very low - follows established pattern used by many other
laptop models **6. Precedent Analysis:** The pattern shows that while
some individual device additions were marked as NO (commits #1 and #3),
those that include proper documentation, clear problem statements, or
fix significant user issues tend to be marked YES (commits #2, #4, #5).
This commit includes a clear problem statement ("prevent spurious
wakeups") and follows the exact same pattern as successful backports.
**7. User Impact:** Spurious wakeups during suspend-to-idle directly
impact: - Battery life (system doesn't stay in low-power state) - User
experience (unexpected wake-ups) - Power management effectiveness This
is exactly the type of user-facing power management issue that stable
trees aim to address. The commit is an ideal candidate for backporting:
it's a small, safe, device-specific fix for a real user problem that
follows well-established patterns with minimal risk.
