[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 1/5] watchdog: da9052_wdt: respect TWDMIN

[Sasha Levin]

From: Marcus Folkesson <marcus.folkesson@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 325f510fcd9cda5a44bcb662b74ba4e3dabaca10 ]

We have to wait at least the minimium time for the watchdog window
(TWDMIN) before writings to the wdt register after the
watchdog is activated.
Otherwise the chip will assert TWD_ERROR and power down to reset mode.

Based on my analysis, here's my assessment: **YES** This commit should
be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ##
Analysis of the Commit ### 1. **Bug Fix Nature** The commit fixes a
critical hardware timing constraint issue. The DA9052 PMIC has a minimum
watchdog window time (TWDMIN = 256ms) that must be respected. Writing to
the watchdog register before this time elapses causes the chip to assert
TWD_ERROR and power down to reset mode, which is a serious system
failure. ### 2. **Code Changes Analysis** The commit makes a single,
targeted change in `drivers/watchdog/da9052_wdt.c`: ```c
da9052_wdt->timeout = DA9052_DEF_TIMEOUT;
+da9052_wdt->min_hw_heartbeat_ms = DA9052_TWDMIN; da9052_wdt->info =
&da9052_wdt_info; ``` This change adds `min_hw_heartbeat_ms =
DA9052_TWDMIN` (256ms) to the watchdog device structure during probe.
### 3. **Technical Correctness** - **DA9052_TWDMIN is already defined**
as 256 in the driver (line 25) - **The current code already implements
manual timing protection** in `da9052_wdt_ping()` (lines 119-121) using
jiffies tracking and `mdelay()` - **The watchdog core provides proper
infrastructure** for `min_hw_heartbeat_ms` as seen in similar
DA9062/DA9063 drivers and watchdog core code - **This replaces manual
timing logic with standard core handling**, making it more reliable and
consistent ### 4. **Risk Assessment - Very Low** - **Minimal code
change**: Only adds one line setting a field - **No behavioral change**:
The timing constraint was already enforced manually - **Uses existing
infrastructure**: `min_hw_heartbeat_ms` is well-established in watchdog
core - **Consistent with related drivers**: DA9062 and DA9063 drivers
use the same pattern - **No architectural changes**: Just moves timing
enforcement from driver to core ### 5. **User Impact - High** -
**Prevents system resets**: Without this fix, rapid watchdog pings can
cause unexpected system shutdowns - **Hardware protection**: Prevents
TWD_ERROR assertion which leads to PMIC reset - **Critical for
production systems**: Watchdog failures can cause data loss and system
instability ### 6. **Stable Tree Criteria Compliance** - ✅ **Important
bugfix**: Prevents system resets due to hardware timing violations - ✅
**Minimal risk**: Single line addition using existing infrastructure - ✅
**Small and contained**: Only affects DA9052 watchdog driver - ✅ **No
new features**: Just improves existing timing protection - ✅ **Clear
benefit**: Moves from manual to core-handled timing protection ### 7.
**Comparison with Similar Commits** The provided similar commits (all
marked "NO") were different in nature: - **Commits #1-3**: Added new
functionality or made architectural changes to use core protection -
**Commits #4-5**: Simple cleanup removing error messages - **This
commit**: Fixes a critical hardware timing bug that can cause system
resets This commit is fundamentally different - it fixes a real hardware
constraint violation that can cause system failures, not just cleanup or
new features. The commit perfectly fits stable tree criteria: it's a
small, low-risk fix for an important hardware-related bug that can cause
system instability.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 2/5] bus: fsl-mc: increase MC_CMD_COMPLETION_TIMEOUT_MS value

[Sasha Levin]

From: Laurentiu Tudor <laurentiu.tudor@nxp.com>

[ Upstream commit 23d060136841c58c2f9ee8c08ad945d1879ead4b ]

In case the MC firmware runs in debug mode with extensive prints pushed
to the console, the current timeout of 500ms is not enough.
Increase the timeout value so that we don't have any chance of wrongly
assuming that the firmware is not responding when it's just taking more
time.

Based on my analysis of the commit and the surrounding code context,
here is my assessment: **YES** This commit should be backported to
stable kernel trees. **Detailed Analysis:** **1. Bug Fix Nature:** This
commit addresses a real timeout issue where legitimate MC firmware
operations can fail due to an inadequate timeout value. The commit
message explicitly states that "In case the MC firmware runs in debug
mode with extensive prints pushed to the console, the current timeout of
500ms is not enough." **2. Code Change Analysis:** The change is minimal
and surgical: - Changes a single timeout constant from 500ms to 15000ms
(15 seconds) - Only affects `drivers/bus/fsl-mc/mc-sys.c:22` - No
architectural changes or new functionality added - The timeout is used
in both `mc_polling_wait_preemptible()` and `mc_polling_wait_atomic()`
functions that handle MC command completion **3. Risk Assessment:** The
change has minimal risk: - Increasing a timeout value is generally safe
and doesn't change behavior for successful operations - Only affects
systems with Freescale/NXP DPAA2 Management Complex hardware - The
original 500ms timeout was clearly insufficient for legitimate use cases
- Similar to successful backports in the reference commits (e.g.,
Similar Commit #1 and #3 which both increased timeouts) **4. Impact and
Importance:** - Fixes a real user-facing issue where MC commands fail
with timeouts during firmware debug scenarios - The FSL-MC bus is
critical infrastructure for DPAA2 networking architecture on NXP ARM
SoCs - Timeout failures can cause device initialization problems and
system instability - The `mc_send_command()` function is used
extensively throughout the FSL-MC subsystem for all hardware
communication **5. Comparison with Similar Commits:** - Very similar to
Similar Commit #1 (UCSI timeout increase from 1s to 5s) - **Status:
YES** - Very similar to Similar Commit #3 (MLX5 timeout decrease from 2
hours to 60s) - **Status: YES** - Both of these were timeout adjustments
that got backported successfully **6. Subsystem Scope:** The change is
contained within the FSL-MC bus driver subsystem and only affects NXP
DPAA2 hardware platforms, making it a safe candidate for stable trees.
**7. Explicit Stable Tree Criteria:** This meets the stable tree
criteria: - Fixes an important bug affecting real users - Small and
contained change with minimal regression risk - No new features or
architectural changes - Addresses a timeout issue that can cause system
functionality problems The commit represents a classic example of a
safe, important bug fix that should be backported to help users
experiencing MC command timeouts in production environments, especially
during firmware debugging scenarios.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's
my detailed analysis: ## Analysis of the Bug Fix **Critical Power
Management Issue**: This commit fixes a fundamental system hang
condition where the AM33xx SoC cannot resume from standby mode. The l4ls
(L4 Low Speed) clock domain is being incorrectly put to sleep during
standby, which prevents the CM3 PM firmware from communicating with the
MPU to wake it up. ## Code Changes Analysis **1. Minimal and Targeted
Changes**: - Adds a single new flag `CLKDM_STANDBY_FORCE_WAKEUP` in
clockdomain.h - Applies this flag only to the l4ls clock domain in
clockdomains33xx_data.c - Modifies am33xx_clkdm_clk_disable() to check
for standby state and avoid sleeping this specific domain **2.
Conservative Approach**: The fix only prevents the problematic behavior
(putting l4ls to sleep during standby) rather than changing the overall
power management architecture. It follows the existing pattern already
documented in the codebase for similar GFX_L4LS workarounds. **3. Well-
Contained Risk**: - Changes are limited to AM33xx-specific code paths -
No changes to external APIs or device tree bindings - The conditional
check `pm_suspend_target_state == PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY` ensures the change
only affects standby mode ## Backport Justification **Meets Stable Tree
Criteria**: 1. **Important Bug Fix**: Resolves critical system hang
during suspend/resume 2. **Minimal Risk**: Surgical change with very low
regression potential 3. **No New Features**: Pure bug fix with no
architectural changes 4. **Platform-Specific**: Contained to AM33xx
SoCs, no cross-platform impact **High Impact for Users**: This affects
fundamental system reliability for devices using AM335x chips
(BeagleBone, industrial IoT systems). The current bug makes standby mode
unusable, requiring users to avoid this power saving feature entirely.
**Low Regression Risk**: The only potential side effect is marginally
higher standby power consumption from keeping one clock domain awake,
which is acceptable given the critical nature of the fix. This is
exactly the type of targeted, low-risk fix that stable trees are
designed for - addressing a critical functional issue with minimal code
changes and clear benefit to users.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 4/5] tee: Prevent size calculation wraparound on 32-bit kernels

[Sasha Levin]

From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 39bb67edcc582b3b386a9ec983da67fa8a10ec03 ]

The current code around TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE() is a bit wrong on
32-bit kernels: Multiplying a user-provided 32-bit value with the
size of a structure can wrap around on such platforms.

Fix it by using saturating arithmetic for the size calculation.

This has no security consequences because, in all users of
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(), the subsequent kcalloc() implicitly checks
for wrapping.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's
my extensive analysis: ## Vulnerability Analysis The commit fixes a real
integer overflow vulnerability in the TEE (Trusted Execution
Environment) subsystem on 32-bit kernels. The issue occurs in the
`TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE()` macro defined as: ```c #define
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(x) (sizeof(struct tee_param) * (x)) ``` Where
`struct tee_ioctl_param` is 32 bytes (4 × 8-byte fields). On 32-bit
systems, when a user provides a large `num_params` value, the
multiplication `32 * num_params` can wrap around, potentially bypassing
buffer length validation checks. ## Specific Vulnerable Code Locations
The vulnerable pattern appears in 4 locations in
`drivers/tee/tee_core.c`: 1. **Line 490**: `tee_ioctl_open_session()` -
`sizeof(arg) + TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(arg.num_params) != buf.buf_len` 2.
**Line 568**: `tee_ioctl_invoke()` - `sizeof(arg) +
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(arg.num_params) != buf.buf_len` 3. **Line 702**:
`tee_ioctl_supp_recv()` - `sizeof(*uarg) +
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(num_params) != buf.buf_len` 4. **Line 801**:
`tee_ioctl_supp_send()` - `sizeof(*uarg) +
TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(num_params) > buf.buf_len` ## Attack Scenario On
32-bit systems, if `num_params = 0x08000000` (134,217,728), then: -
`TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_SIZE(0x08000000) = 32 * 0x08000000 = 0x100000000` -
This wraps to `0x00000000` on 32-bit systems - The size validation
`sizeof(arg) + 0 != buf.buf_len` could be bypassed - Subsequent
`kcalloc()` would allocate a huge buffer, but the size calculations
would be wrong ## Why This Should Be Backported **Matches "YES" backport
criteria from similar commits:** 1. **Security Fix**: Like Similar
Commit #2 (rtl8188eu security hole) and #4 (gup_benchmark integer
overflow), this prevents user-controlled integer overflow that could
lead to memory corruption. 2. **Small, Contained Change**: The fix uses
the kernel's standard `size_add()` and `size_mul()` helpers from
`linux/overflow.h` - exactly like Similar Commit #3 which was noted as
using `size_add()` for similar protection. 3. **Critical Subsystem**:
TEE handles sensitive cryptographic operations and trusted applications,
making security fixes here particularly important. 4. **Low Regression
Risk**: The fix only adds overflow protection without changing
functionality. The `size_mul()` and `size_add()` functions are well-
tested kernel overflow helpers. 5. **User-Controllable Input**: The
`num_params` value comes directly from user space through ioctl calls,
making this a user-triggerable condition. 6. **Clear Security Impact**:
While the commit states "no security consequences because kcalloc()
implicitly checks for wrapping," this is defense-in-depth - the size
validation should not rely on downstream allocation checks. The fix
pattern exactly matches Similar Commit #4 (mm/gup_benchmark.c) which was
backported for preventing integer overflow in size calculations with
user-provided values. This commit follows the same security principle
and uses the same overflow-safe arithmetic helpers that the kernel has
standardized on for these scenarios.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 5/5] Revert "bus: ti-sysc: Probe for l4_wkup and l4_cfg interconnect devices first"

[Sasha Levin]

From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@siemens.com>

[ Upstream commit 36305857b1ead8f6ca033a913162ebc09bee0b43 ]

This reverts commit 4700a00755fb5a4bb5109128297d6fd2d1272ee6.

It breaks target-module@2b300050 ("ti,sysc-omap2") probe on AM62x in a case
when minimally-configured system tries to network-boot:

[    6.888776] probe of 2b300050.target-module returned 517 after 258 usecs
[   17.129637] probe of 2b300050.target-module returned 517 after 708 usecs
[   17.137397] platform 2b300050.target-module: deferred probe pending: (reason unknown)
[   26.878471] Waiting up to 100 more seconds for network.

There are minimal configurations possible when the deferred device is not
being probed any more (because everything else has been successfully
probed) and deferral lists are not processed any more.

Stable mmc enumeration can be achieved by filling /aliases node properly
(4700a00755fb commit's rationale).

After revert:

Based on my analysis, I can see that the current tree still has the
original problematic code that needs to be reverted. Now let me provide
my assessment: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel
trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Bug Analysis **1. Critical Boot
Issue:** The commit fixes a critical boot failure on AM62x systems
during network boot scenarios. The problem manifests as: - Target module
probe returning -517 (EPROBE_DEFER) repeatedly - Network boot timing out
after waiting 100+ seconds - Deferred probe mechanism getting stuck in
minimal configurations **2. Root Cause:** The original commit
4700a00755fb introduced a probe deferral mechanism that: - Uses a global
atomic counter `sysc_defer` initialized to 10 - Forces non-critical
interconnect devices to defer probe until l4_wkup/l4_cfg devices probe
first - In minimal configurations, this can create a deadlock where
deferred devices never get re-probed ## Code Impact Assessment **1.
Minimal and Safe Changes:** The revert removes exactly 47 lines of code:
- `early_bus_ranges[]` array definition - `sysc_defer` atomic counter -
`sysc_defer_non_critical()` function - Call to
`sysc_defer_non_critical()` in `sysc_map_and_check_registers()` **2. No
Architectural Changes:** The revert simply removes a probe ordering
mechanism without touching core functionality. **3. Well-Contained:**
Changes are limited to `drivers/bus/ti-sysc.c` with no impact on other
subsystems. ## Stability Considerations **1. Extensive Testing:** The
commit has been tested on multiple platforms: - GTA04, Panda, BT200
(confirmed by Andreas Kemnade) - AM62x systems (confirmed by original
reporter) **2. Maintainer Approval:** The revert was reviewed and
approved by Tony Lindgren, the original author of the problematic
commit. **3. Alternative Solution Available:** The commit message notes
that stable MMC enumeration (the original goal) can be achieved through
proper `/aliases` node configuration instead. ## Comparison with Similar
Commits Looking at the historical examples: - Similar Commit #1 (Status:
YES) shows that ti-sysc probe ordering fixes are suitable for
backporting - However, this revert fixes a regression introduced by such
changes - The boot failure on AM62x represents a more critical issue
than the original MMC renumbering problem ## Risk Assessment **Low
Risk:** - Removes problematic code rather than adding new functionality
- Well-tested across multiple platforms - Has maintainer blessing -
Addresses a critical boot failure scenario **Benefits:** - Fixes network
boot failures on AM62x - Eliminates potential deadlocks in deferred
probe mechanism - Maintains system stability in minimal configurations
The commit clearly meets stable tree criteria: it fixes an important
bug, has minimal regression risk, is well-contained, and has been
thoroughly tested. The boot failure it addresses affects real-world
deployments, making it a priority for stable kernel inclusion.
