Subject: [PATCH 0/5] riscv: Assorted bug fixes
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 09:11:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409091143.1348853-1-mikey@neuling.org> (raw)
This series contains five independent bug fixes across the RISC-V
architecture code, found with the help of Claude AI (claude-4.6-opus):
1. riscv: errata: Fix bitwise vs logical AND in MIPS errata patching
- Logical AND (&&) was used instead of bitwise AND (&) when checking
errata flags, causing all errata patches to be applied when any
single one was detected.
2. riscv: ptrace: Fix register corruption in compat_riscv_gpr_set on error
- On copyin failure, uninitialized stack data was written into the
target task's pt_regs, corrupting registers and potentially
leaking kernel stack contents.
3. riscv: mm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __set_memory
- find_vm_area() can return NULL but was dereferenced without a check.
4. riscv: mm: Fix NULL dereferences in napot hugetlb functions
- huge_pte_offset() can return NULL in the napot path but was used
without NULL checks in huge_ptep_set_access_flags() and
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect().
5. riscv: mm: Fix TOCTOU race in remove_pte_mapping
- The PTE was read twice (once via ptep_get, once via *ptep),
creating a race window where another CPU could modify the PTE
between reads.
All patches are small and self-contained. These bugs were identified
through AI-assisted code review using Claude, which also assisted in
writing the fixes. Each patch has been manually reviewed for correctness.
