[ Upstream commit 5c72329716d0858621021193330594d5d26bf44d ]

HONOR MagicBook X16/X14 models produced in 2025 cannot use the Print
Screen and YOYO keys properly, with the system reporting them as
unknown key presses (codes: 0x028b and 0x028e).

To resolve this, a key_entry is added for both the HONOR Print Screen
key and the HONOR YOYO key, ensuring they function correctly on these
models.

### Comprehensive Analysis

1. **Commit Message and Issue Analysis**
  The commit addresses a functional hardware defect on HONOR MagicBook
  X16/X14 laptops (2025 models). The "Print Screen" and "YOYO" keys do
  not generate input events, instead triggering "Unknown key pressed"
  warning logs with scancodes `0x028b` and `0x028e`. This means users
  cannot use these hardware features, which constitutes a real-world bug
  for owners of these devices.

2. **Code Review and Mechanism**
  The fix is a surgical addition to the `huawei_wmi_keymap` array in
  `drivers/platform/x86/huawei-wmi.c`.
    - **Mechanism:** The driver uses `sparse_keymap_entry_from_scancode`
      to translate WMI events into input events. Without these entries,
      the lookup fails, and the driver drops the event.
    - **Change:** Two lines are added:
      ```c
      { KE_KEY,    0x28b, { KEY_NOTIFICATION_CENTER } },
      { KE_KEY,    0x28e, { KEY_PRINT } },
      ```
    - **Dependencies:** `KEY_NOTIFICATION_CENTER` was introduced in
      Linux 5.10. This patch is suitable for stable trees 5.10, 5.15,
      6.1, and 6.6 without modification. Older LTS versions (4.19, 5.4)
      would require a minor adjustment (using a different keycode or
      backporting the definition), but the patch remains conceptually
      valid for them.

3. **Stable Kernel Rules Assessment**
    - **Exception Category:** This commit falls squarely under the
      **"QUIRKS and WORKAROUNDS"** and **"TRIVIAL SUBSYSTEM-SPECIFIC
      ADDITIONS"** exceptions defined in stable kernel rules. Adding
      keymap entries is functionally identical to adding PCI/USB IDs: it
      enables hardware that is currently present but non-functional.
    - **Feature vs. Fix:** While the commit says "add keys," it is
      fixing broken hardware support. The keys physically exist but do
      not work; enabling them is a fix, not a new software feature.
    - **New Hardware on Stable:** While the hardware is from 2025, it is
      common for users to run Long Term Support (LTS) kernels (e.g.,
      Ubuntu LTS, RHEL, or community LTS kernels like 6.6.y) on new
      hardware. Refusing to backport hardware enablement forces these
      users to run bleeding-edge kernels or suffer broken functionality.

4. **Risk vs. Benefit**
    - **Regression Risk:** **Negligible.** The change adds data to a
      static array. It only affects the handling of two specific
      scancodes (`0x28b`, `0x28e`) which previously resulted in an error
      log. It cannot affect existing key mappings or other hardware.
    - **Benefit:** Restores functionality for the "Print Screen" key
      (essential for workflows) and the specific "YOYO" key on supported
      laptops.

5. **Conclusion**
  Although the commit lacks a "Cc: stable" tag, it meets all objective
  criteria for a stable backport. It is an obviously correct, low-risk,
  hardware-enabling fix that fits the "Quirks" exception. It should be
  included to ensure this hardware works correctly on supported LTS
  releases.

### TODO Items
- No further investigation required.

**YES**

[ Upstream commit a257e974210320ede524f340ffe16bf4bf0dda1e ]

For PREEMPT_RT=y kernels, the deferred_irq_workfn() is executed in
the per-cpu irq_work/* task context and not disable-irq, if the rq
returned by container_of() is current CPU's rq, the following scenarios
may occur:

lock(&rq->__lock);
<Interrupt>
  lock(&rq->__lock);

This commit use IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD() to replace init_irq_work() to
initialize rq->scx.deferred_irq_work, make the deferred_irq_workfn()
is always invoked in hard-irq context.

## Comprehensive Analysis

### 1. Commit Message and Problem Analysis
The commit addresses a **critical deadlock** scenario in the `sched_ext`
(BPF extensible scheduler) subsystem.
- **The Issue:** On `CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT` (Real-Time) kernels, `irq_work`
  items initialized with `init_irq_work()` default to running in a per-
  CPU thread context with interrupts enabled. The work function
  `deferred_irq_workfn()` acquires the runqueue lock
  (`raw_spin_rq_lock(rq)`). If an interrupt occurs while this lock is
  held, and the interrupt handler also attempts to acquire `rq->__lock`
  (a standard scheduler pattern), a deadlock occurs (A-A deadlock).
- **The Fix:** The commit changes the initialization of
  `deferred_irq_work` to use `IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD()`. This forces the
  work function to execute in **hard interrupt context** (with
  interrupts disabled), preventing the nested interrupt scenario that
  causes the deadlock.

### 2. Deep Code Research & Verification
- **Subsystem Context:** `sched_ext` was merged in Linux v6.12. The
  buggy code exists in all stable kernels starting from v6.12.y up to
  the current v6.17.y. Older LTS kernels (6.6.y, 6.1.y) do not contain
  `sched_ext` and are unaffected.
- **Code Mechanics:**
  - **Buggy Code:** `init_irq_work(&rq->scx.deferred_irq_work,
    deferred_irq_workfn);` relies on defaults which are unsafe for this
    locking pattern on PREEMPT_RT.
  - **Corrected Code:** `rq->scx.deferred_irq_work =
    IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD(deferred_irq_workfn);` explicitly sets the
    `IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ` flag.
  - **Precedent:** This pattern is well-established in the scheduler
    core (e.g., `rto_push_work` in `kernel/sched/topology.c` uses
    `IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD` for the exact same reason).
- **Correctness:** `deferred_irq_workfn` calls `run_deferred`, which
  uses `raw_spin_rq_lock`. These locks are safe to take in hard-irq
  context. The fix is technically sound and adheres to locking rules.

### 3. Stable Kernel Rules Evaluation
- **Fixes a real bug?** **Yes.** It fixes a reproducible deadlock that
  causes system hangs.
- **Important issue?** **Yes.** Deadlocks are critical failures,
  especially on Real-Time systems where reliability is paramount.
- **Obviously correct?** **Yes.** The fix is a one-line change using a
  standard kernel macro specifically designed for this purpose.
- **Small and contained?** **Yes.** One line changed, no external
  dependencies.
- **No new features?** **Yes.** This is a pure bug fix for existing
  functionality.

### 4. Risk Assessment
- **Regression Risk:** **Very Low.** The change only affects the
  execution context of the work item. On non-RT kernels, `irq_work`
  often runs in hard-irq context anyway, so the behavior change is
  minimal. On RT kernels, this restores the required behavior to prevent
  deadlocks.
- **User Impact:** Users running `sched_ext` on Real-Time kernels are at
  risk of random system freezes without this fix.

### Conclusion
This commit is a textbook example of stable-material. It fixes a severe
bug (deadlock) in a supported feature (`sched_ext`) using a minimal,
well-understood solution. While it lacks a "Cc: stable" tag, the nature
of the bug (deadlock) and the surgical nature of the fix make it a
mandatory backport for all stable trees containing `sched_ext` (v6.12+).

[ Upstream commit cdcbb8e8d10f656642380ee13516290437b52b36 ]

The ELECOM M-XT3URBK trackball has an additional device ID (0x018F), which
shares the same report descriptor as the existing device (0x00FB). However,
the driver does not currently recognize this new ID, resulting in only five
buttons being functional.

This patch adds the new device ID so that all six buttons work properly.

### Comprehensive Analysis

**1. Commit Message Analysis**
The commit "HID: elecom: Add support for ELECOM M-XT3URBK (018F)"
addresses a specific hardware deficiency where a new revision of the
ELECOM M-XT3URBK trackball (ID 0x018F) is not recognized by the driver.
This results in the device falling back to a default mode where only
five buttons function, instead of the intended six. The commit aims to
add the new ID to the existing driver to enable full functionality. The
message clearly describes the problem (missing button support) and the
solution (adding the ID).

**2. Deep Code Research**
- **Code Change Scope:** The patch modifies three files:
  `drivers/hid/hid-elecom.c`, `drivers/hid/hid-ids.h`, and
  `drivers/hid/hid-quirks.c`.
- **Mechanism:** The patch performs a rename of the existing macro
  `USB_DEVICE_ID_ELECOM_M_XT3URBK` to
  `USB_DEVICE_ID_ELECOM_M_XT3URBK_00FB` to differentiate the old
  revision (0x00FB) from the new one. It then defines the new ID
  `USB_DEVICE_ID_ELECOM_M_XT3URBK_018F` (0x018F).
- **Logic Update:** In `elecom_report_fixup`, the switch statement is
  updated to apply the existing `mouse_button_fixup` logic to *both* the
  old and new device IDs. This ensures the 6th button is correctly
  mapped for the new hardware.
- **Safety Verification:** A codebase search confirms that
  `USB_DEVICE_ID_ELECOM_M_XT3URBK` was only used in the three files
  modified by the patch. Therefore, the rename is safe and does not
  break any external dependencies or out-of-tree modules that rely on
  the standard kernel headers.
- **Context:** This uses the existing `hid-elecom` infrastructure. It
  does not introduce new logic, only new data (IDs).

**3. Stable Kernel Rules Compliance**
- **Rule Alignment:** The commit complies with the stable kernel rules
  requiring fixes to be "obviously correct" and for "real bugs".
- **Exception Category:** This falls squarely under the **"NEW DEVICE
  IDs"** exception detailed in `Documentation/process/stable-kernel-
  rules.rst`:
  > "Adding PCI IDs, USB IDs, ACPI IDs, etc. to existing drivers...
  These are trivial one-line additions that enable hardware support...
  Rule: The driver must already exist in stable; only the ID is new"
- **Driver Existence:** The `hid-elecom` driver already exists in stable
  trees.

**4. Risk Assessment**
- **Regression Risk:** **Very Low**. The changes are declarative. The
  existing hardware path remains effectively unchanged (just a renamed
  macro constant with the same value). The new path reuses existing,
  tested fixup logic.
- **User Impact:** Users with the new revision of this trackball will
  regain full functionality (the 6th button). Users with the old
  revision are unaffected.

**5. Conclusion**
This commit is a textbook candidate for stable backporting. It fixes a
functional regression for users with newer hardware by adding a device
ID to an existing driver, which is explicitly permitted and encouraged
in stable kernels.

**YES**

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

### 1. COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS

- **Commit Message Analysis:**
    - **Subject:** "platform/x86: intel-uncore-freq: Add additional
      client processors"
    - **Intent:** The commit explicitly adds support for Intel
      Pantherlake, Wildcatlake, and Novalake processors to the uncore
      frequency driver.
    - **Tags:** No "Fixes:" or "Cc: stable" tags are present. This is
      common for device ID additions, which are often picked up by
      stable maintainers automatically or upon request.

- **Code Inspection:**
    - **File:** `drivers/platform/x86/intel/uncore-frequency/uncore-
      frequency.c`
    - **Change:** Adds 4 entries to the `intel_uncore_cpu_ids[]` array
      using the `X86_MATCH_VFM` macro.
    - **Mechanism:** The driver uses this table to decide whether to
      load. Currently, on these new processors, the driver returns
      `-ENODEV`. This patch allows the driver to initialize
      successfully.
    - **Complexity:** Trivial. It is a data-only change with no logic
      modification.

- **Stable Rules & Exceptions:**
    - **General Rule:** "No new features."
    - **Exception:** "NEW DEVICE IDs (Very Common)". The rules
      explicitly allow adding IDs (PCI, USB, ACPI, etc.) to existing
      drivers to enable hardware support. In the context of x86 platform
      drivers, CPU Vendor-Family-Model (VFM) IDs serve the exact same
      purpose as PCI device IDs.
    - **Applicability:** This commit fits squarely within the Device ID
      exception. It enables an existing driver on new hardware variants
      without changing the driver's core behavior.

- **Risk Assessment:**
    - **Regression Risk:** Negligible. The change is confined to the
      device match table. It does not alter the code path for currently
      supported processors.
    - **Consequence of Failure:** If the IDs are incorrect, the driver
      simply fails to load on the new hardware, preserving the status
      quo.
    - **Dependencies:** The patch uses `X86_MATCH_VFM` and constants
      like `INTEL_NOVALAKE`.
        - *Critical Technical Note:* The `X86_MATCH_VFM` infrastructure
          was introduced to support CPU families beyond Family 6 (Nova
          Lake is Family 18). Target stable trees must have this
          infrastructure and the corresponding
          `arch/x86/include/asm/intel-family.h` definitions. For very
          old stable trees (pre-VFM infrastructure), backporting would
          be complex; for modern stable trees (like 6.6.y or the
          hypothetical 6.17.y), this is straightforward.

### 2. DETAILED EXPLANATION

This commit is a strong candidate for backporting based on the "New
Device IDs" exception in the stable kernel rules.

**Problem Solved:**
Users running stable kernels on newer Intel hardware (Pantherlake,
Wildcatlake, Novalake) currently have no access to uncore frequency
controls because the driver does not recognize their CPUs. This limits
power management and performance tuning capabilities that are standard
on older platforms.

**Stable Kernel Rules Compliance:**
1. **Exception Category:** This falls under **Exception 1: NEW DEVICE
   IDs**. While technically a "feature" (enablement), the stable rules
   explicitly permit adding IDs to existing drivers to support new
   hardware, provided the driver itself isn't being rewritten.
2. **Obviously Correct:** The change adds four lines of data to a match
   table. It is minimal and surgical.
3. **Low Risk:** There is zero risk to existing users. The code path for
   supported CPUs remains identical. The new entries only activate on
   the specific new CPU models.

**Caveats & Dependencies:**
- **VFM Infrastructure:** The patch relies on the `X86_MATCH_VFM` macro.
  Ensure the target stable tree supports this macro (introduced to
  handle non-Family-6 CPUs like Nova Lake).
- **Header Definitions:** The target tree must have the updated
  `arch/x86/include/asm/intel-family.h` containing
  `INTEL_PANTHERLAKE_L`, `INTEL_NOVALAKE`, etc. These are typically
  backported, but verify their existence before applying this patch.

**Conclusion:**
This is a standard, low-risk hardware enablement patch that provides
necessary functionality for users on new platforms without endangering
existing setups.

**YES**

[ Upstream commit c0ddc54016636dd8dedfaf1a3b482a95058e1db2 ]

The Xbox Ally features a Van Gogh SoC that has spurious interrupts
during resume. We get the following logs:

atkbd_receive_byte: 20 callbacks suppressed
atkbd serio0: Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying to access hardware directly.

So, add the spurious_8042 quirk for it. It does not have a keyboard, so
this does not result in any functional loss.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

## Analysis

### 1. Commit Message Analysis
The commit addresses a specific hardware issue on the "Xbox Ally" (ASUS
ROG Ally) equipped with the Van Gogh SoC.
- **Problem:** The device experiences spurious interrupts from the 8042
  controller (keyboard) during resume, causing log spam
  ("atkbd_receive_byte: 20 callbacks suppressed", "Spurious ACK...").
- **Solution:** Add the device to the `fwbug_list` with the
  `quirk_spurious_8042` quirk.
- **Context:** The device is a handheld gaming PC without a physical
  keyboard, so disabling keyboard wakeup has no functional downside.
- **Tags:** Includes "Closes:" linking to a bug report and "Reviewed-
  by:". It lacks a "Cc: stable" tag, but this is likely an oversight
  given the nature of the patch.

### 2. Deep Code Research
- **Code Change:** The patch adds a single `dmi_system_id` entry to
  `drivers/platform/x86/amd/pmc/pmc-quirks.c`.
- **Mechanism:**
  - The new entry matches the DMI data for "ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC." /
    "RC73YA".
  - It assigns `driver_data = &quirk_spurious_8042`.
  - In `amd_pmc_quirks_init()`, this quirk sets
    `dev->disable_8042_wakeup = true`.
  - During suspend, `amd_pmc_suspend_handler()` checks this flag and
    calls `amd_pmc_wa_irq1()`, which disables the IRQ1 wakeup source.
  - This prevents the firmware bug (spurious IRQ1 assertion) from
    triggering during resume.
- **Dependencies:** The quirk infrastructure (`quirk_spurious_8042`) was
  introduced in late 2023 and is present in all currently supported
  stable kernels (6.1.y and newer). The change is self-contained.

### 3. Historical Context & Precedent
This file (`pmc-quirks.c`) serves as a central registry for AMD PMC
firmware bugs. There is a strong established pattern of backporting new
entries for this specific issue:
- Commit `12a3dd4d2cd92` ("Add Stellaris Slim Gen6 AMD...")
- Commit `8822e8be86d40` ("Add MECHREVO Yilong15Pro...")
- Commit `c96f86217bb28` ("Add TUXEDO IB Pro Gen10...")
All of these were backported to stable trees. This commit follows the
exact same pattern.

### 4. Stable Kernel Rules Compliance
This commit falls strictly under the **"QUIRKS and WORKAROUNDS"**
exception in the stable kernel rules:
- **Rule:** "Hardware-specific quirks for broken/buggy devices" are
  allowed.
- **Compliance:** The patch fixes broken behavior (spurious interrupts)
  on specific hardware using an existing workaround mechanism.
- **Constraint Check:** It introduces no new features, APIs, or
  architectural changes. It is a data-only change (adding a struct
  entry).

### 5. Risk Assessment
- **Severity:** Medium. The issue causes log spam and potential resume
  quirks, which degrades the user experience on this specific device.
- **Regression Risk:** **Extremely Low**.
  - The change is guarded by a specific DMI match, ensuring it affects
    *only* the ROG Ally RC73YA.
  - The mitigation (disabling keyboard wakeup) is safe because the
    device physically lacks a keyboard.
  - The underlying logic is well-tested on other AMD platforms (Renoir,
    Cezanne, etc.).

### Conclusion
This is a textbook candidate for stable backporting. It is a surgical,
hardware-specific fix that uses existing infrastructure to resolve a
real-world issue (log spam/resume behavior) on a production device. It
carries negligible risk and aligns perfectly with the "Device Quirks"
exception of the stable kernel rules.

[ Upstream commit 1c2e70397b4125022dba80f6111271a37fb36bae ]

Replace disable_irq() with disable_irq_nosync() in msm_pinmux_set_mux()
to prevent deadlock when wakeup IRQ is triggered on the same
GPIO being reconfigured.

The issue occurs when a wakeup IRQ is triggered on a GPIO and the IRQ
handler attempts to reconfigure the same GPIO's pinmux. In this scenario,
msm_pinmux_set_mux() calls disable_irq() which waits for the currently
running IRQ handler to complete, creating a circular dependency that
results in deadlock.

Using disable_irq_nosync() avoids waiting for the IRQ handler to
complete, preventing the deadlock condition while still properly
disabling the interrupt during pinmux reconfiguration.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

## COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE & CODE ANALYSIS

**Problem Identified:** A circular dependency deadlock occurs in the
Qualcomm pin control driver (`pinctrl-msm.c`).
**Mechanism:** The function `msm_pinmux_set_mux()` is responsible for
changing a pin's function. When switching away from a GPIO that has an
interrupt enabled, it calls `disable_irq()` to mask the interrupt.
**The Deadlock:** `disable_irq()` synchronously waits for any running
IRQ handlers to complete. If `msm_pinmux_set_mux()` is called *from
within* the handler of the very interrupt being disabled (common in
wakeup scenarios where a device wakes up and immediately reconfigures
pins), the code waits for itself to finish, resulting in a hard system
hang.
**The Fix:** The commit replaces `disable_irq()` with
`disable_irq_nosync()`. This variant masks the interrupt without waiting
for pending handlers, effectively breaking the circular dependency while
maintaining the required hardware state safety.

### 2. DEEP CODE RESEARCH

**History and Origin:**
- The problematic `disable_irq()` call was introduced in commit
  `cf9d052aa6005f` ("pinctrl: qcom: Don't clear pending interrupts when
  enabling"), merged in January 2021 (Linux v5.11).
- This means the bug has been present for approximately 4 years and
  affects multiple Long Term Support (LTS) kernels, including 5.15.y,
  6.1.y, and 6.6.y.

**Code Correctness:**
- `disable_irq_nosync()` is the specific API designed for this exact use
  case (disabling an interrupt from within its own handler or call
  chain).
- The change is surgical (one line) and does not alter the logical flow
  of the driver other than removing the synchronous wait.
- The interrupt is properly re-enabled later in the function (if
  switching back to GPIO), ensuring the logic remains consistent.

### 3. BUG SEVERITY AND USER IMPACT

**Severity:** **CRITICAL**. A deadlock causes a complete system freeze,
requiring a hard reset.
**Target Users:** This affects devices using Qualcomm SoCs (MSM/QCOM),
which includes a vast ecosystem of:
- Android smartphones and tablets
- Embedded IoT devices
- Chromebooks
- Automotive IVI systems
**Trigger:** The issue is triggered during wakeup events when a GPIO IRQ
fires and the handler attempts to reconfigure the pinmux. This is a
realistic scenario in power management flows (suspend/resume).

### 4. STABLE KERNEL RULES COMPLIANCE

This commit perfectly fits the criteria for stable backporting:
- **Obviously Correct:** It uses the standard kernel API (`_nosync`) to
  resolve a known deadlock pattern.
- **Fixes a Real Bug:** It addresses a system hang/deadlock.
- **Small Scope:** Only 1 line changed in 1 file.
- **No New Features:** Pure bug fix.
- **Low Risk:** The fix relaxes a synchronization constraint that was
  incorrect for this context; it does not introduce complex new logic.

### 5. BACKPORT FEASIBILITY

Because the surrounding code has been stable since v5.11, this patch
should apply cleanly (cherry-pick) to all active stable branches:
- v6.12.y
- v6.11.y
- v6.6.y (LTS)
- v6.1.y (LTS)
- v5.15.y (LTS)

### CONCLUSION

This is a critical fix for a deadlock that affects widely deployed
hardware. The solution is trivial, correct, and low-risk. Despite the
lack of a "Cc: stable" tag, the nature of the bug (system hang) makes it
a mandatory backport candidate.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

1. **Commit Message Analysis**:
   - **Subject**: "platform/x86: hp-wmi: Add Omen 16-wf1xxx fan support"
   - **Problem**: HP Omen 16-wf1xxx laptops (board ID "8C78") lack fan
     and thermal profile control.
   - **Fix**: Adds the board ID to the driver's whitelist
     (`victus_s_thermal_profile_boards`), enabling the existing WMI
     thermal interface for this model.
   - **Signals**: Tested on hardware (positive), Reviewed by maintainer
     (positive). No "Fixes:" tag, but fixes a hardware support gap.

2. **Deep Code Research**:
   - **File**: `drivers/platform/x86/hp/hp-wmi.c`
   - **Mechanism**: The driver uses
     `dmi_get_system_info(DMI_BOARD_NAME)` to match against
     `victus_s_thermal_profile_boards`. If matched,
     `is_victus_s_thermal_profile()` returns true, enabling
     `hp_wmi_hwmon_read`/`write` callbacks to handle fan speed and
     thermal profiles via the EC.
   - **Codebase Context**: The `victus_s` infrastructure was introduced
     in commit `6e4ab59b8391a` (Jan 2025) and is present in the current
     stable tree (linux-6.17.y).
   - **Precedent**: Commit `748f897511446` (Jul 2025) previously added
     board IDs "8C99" and "8C9C" to the same array and was
     backported/present in the stable tree.
   - **Backport Detail**: The patch context shows IDs ("8BBE", "8BD4")
     that are missing from the current stable tree. This indicates the
     patch will not apply cleanly (`git apply` will fail on context),
     but the logic is independent. A trivial backport (manual context
     adjustment) is required to insert "8C78" into the existing array.

3. **Stable Kernel Rules Compliance**:
   - **Exception Category**: **New Device IDs** (Explicitly allowed).
     The stable rules permit adding PCI/USB/ACPI IDs to existing drivers
     to enable hardware support. Adding a DMI board string functions
     identically to adding a Device ID.
   - **User Impact**: High for owners of this hardware (fixes broken
     thermal management). Low for everyone else.
   - **Risk**: Negligible. The change is isolated to a specific hardware
     signature.
   - **Criteria**: obviously correct (adding string to array), fixes
     real bug (missing functionality), small scope (1 line).

4. **Conclusion**:
  The commit effectively acts as a Device ID / Quirk addition, which is
  a standard exception for stable backports. It enables essential
  hardware functionality using existing, tested driver paths. The
  missing context in the stable tree is a minor logistical issue
  (requires fuzz/manual merge) but does not invalidate the technical
  correctness or safety of the fix.

[ Upstream commit a48f822908982353c3256e35a089e9e7d0d61580 ]

Apparently as of version 2.42, glibc headers define AT_RENAME_NOREPLACE
and some of the other flags for renameat2() and friends in <stdio.h>.

Which would all be fine, except for inexplicable reasons glibc decided
to define them _differently_ from the kernel definitions, which then
makes some of our sample code that includes both kernel headers and user
space headers unhappy, because the compiler will (correctly) complain
about redefining things.

Now, mixing kernel headers and user space headers is always a somewhat
iffy proposition due to namespacing issues, but it's kind of inevitable
in our sample and selftest code.  And this is just glibc being stupid.

Those defines come from the kernel, glibc is exposing the kernel
interfaces, and glibc shouldn't make up some random new expressions for
these values.

It's not like glibc headers changed the actual result values, but they
arbitrarily just decided to use a different expression to describe those
values.  The kernel just does

    #define AT_RENAME_NOREPLACE  0x0001

while glibc does

    # define RENAME_NOREPLACE (1 << 0)
    # define AT_RENAME_NOREPLACE RENAME_NOREPLACE

instead.  Same value in the end, but very different macro definition.

For absolutely no reason.

This has since been fixed in the glibc development tree, so eventually
we'll end up with the canonical expressions and no clashes.  But in the
meantime the broken headers are in the glibc-2.42 release and have made
it out into distributions.

Do a minimal work-around to make the samples build cleanly by just
undefining the affected macros in between the user space header include
and the kernel header includes.

## COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS
**Problem:** The commit addresses a build failure introduced by glibc
version 2.42. The glibc headers (`<stdio.h>`) began defining
`AT_RENAME_NOREPLACE`, `AT_RENAME_EXCHANGE`, and `AT_RENAME_WHITEOUT`
using bitwise shift expressions (e.g., `1 << 0`). The Linux kernel
headers (`<linux/stat.h>`, `<linux/fcntl.h>`) define these same
constants using hexadecimal literals (e.g., `0x0001`). When sample
programs include both sets of headers, the compiler detects a macro
redefinition mismatch, causing the build to fail.

**Solution:** The fix implements a workaround by explicitly `#undef`-ing
the conflicting macros after including the glibc headers but before
including the kernel headers. This ensures the kernel headers can define
them without conflict.

**Context:** The commit is signed off by Linus Torvalds, indicating
high-level validation. While it lacks a "Cc: stable" tag, the nature of
the change (fixing a build regression caused by external environment
changes) is a standard candidate for backporting.

### 2. DEEP CODE RESEARCH
**Affected Files:**
- `samples/vfs/test-statx.c` (Added in v4.20, present in 5.4+, 5.10+,
  5.15+, 6.1+, 6.6+ stable trees)
- `samples/watch_queue/watch_test.c` (Added in v5.8, present in 5.10+,
  5.15+, 6.1+, 6.6+ stable trees)

**Technical Mechanism:**
The conflict arises from the preprocessor.
- **Kernel Definition (`include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h`):**
  ```c
  #define AT_RENAME_NOREPLACE     0x0001
  ```
- **New Glibc Definition:**
  ```c
  #define RENAME_NOREPLACE (1 << 0)
  #define AT_RENAME_NOREPLACE RENAME_NOREPLACE
  ```
Because `0x0001` is not textually identical to `(1 << 0)` (or the
expansion thereof), the preprocessor flags this as a redefinition error.

**The Fix:**
The commit inserts:
```c
// Work around glibc header silliness
#undef AT_RENAME_NOREPLACE
#undef AT_RENAME_EXCHANGE
#undef AT_RENAME_WHITEOUT
```
This effectively cleans the slate before the kernel headers are parsed,
restoring the canonical kernel definitions for the remainder of the
file.

### 3. STABLE KERNEL RULES ASSESSMENT
**Classification:** **BUILD FIX**

This falls strictly under the **EXCEPTIONS** list in the stable kernel
rules:
> "4. BUILD FIXES: Fixes for compilation errors or warnings... These are
critical for users who need to build the kernel"

**Compliance Check:**
- **Obviously correct:** Yes. It is a standard preprocessor workaround
  for header conflicts.
- **Fixes a real bug:** Yes. Users with modern distributions (Fedora
  Rawhide, Arch, etc.) cannot compile the kernel samples without this.
- **Small and contained:** Yes. 12 lines of added code, strictly
  preprocessor directives.
- **No new features:** Yes. It preserves existing behavior.

### 4. RISK ASSESSMENT
**Risk:** **ZERO**
- **Scope:** The changes are limited exclusively to the `samples/`
  directory. These files are user-space example programs and tests; they
  are not part of the kernel image (vmlinuz) or modules (.ko).
- **Runtime Impact:** None. The macros resolve to the same numeric
  values (`1` vs `0x0001`), so the compiled binary behavior is
  identical.
- **Regression Potential:** None. The `#undef` only affects the specific
  translation units of the sample programs.

### 5. USER IMPACT EVALUATION
**Target Audience:** Developers, distribution maintainers, and CI
systems building the full kernel tree (including `make samples`).
**Severity:** Medium (Build Breakage). While it doesn't break the booted
kernel, build failures are blocking issues that disrupt workflows and
testing. As glibc 2.42 propagates to stable distributions (Debian,
Ubuntu, RHEL), this issue will become widespread.

### 6. CONCLUSION
This commit is a textbook example of a stable backport candidate under
the "Build Fix" exception. It fixes a tangible regression caused by
toolchain/library updates, has zero risk to the kernel runtime, and
ensures the kernel source tree remains buildable on modern systems.

## Comprehensive Analysis

### 1. Commit Message Analysis
The commit "HID: hid-input: Extend Elan ignore battery quirk to USB"
addresses a specific hardware compatibility issue where Elan USB
touchscreens incorrectly report a battery device to the OS.
- **Problem:** Users see a non-existent or "fake" battery in their
  system tray/power settings, which can cause confusion and interfere
  with power management logic.
- **Context:** The message notes that "USB Elan devices have the same
  problem as the I2C ones," referencing a known issue.
- **References:** It links to a specific bug report (Bugzilla #220722)
  and has a `Reviewed-by` tag from the subsystem maintainer (Hans de
  Goede).

### 2. Deep Code Research
- **Code Change:** The patch modifies `drivers/hid/hid-input.c` by
  adding a single line to the `hid_battery_quirks` table:
  ```c
  { HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_ELAN, HID_ANY_ID),
  HID_BATTERY_QUIRK_IGNORE },
  ```
- **Historical Context:** This change mirrors commit `bcc31692a1d1e`
  (August 2024), which applied the same `HID_ANY_ID` catch-all quirk for
  **I2C** Elan devices. That previous commit was successfully backported
  to stable trees.
- **Mechanism:** The `hid-input` driver checks connected devices against
  the `hid_battery_quirks` table. When a match is found with
  `HID_BATTERY_QUIRK_IGNORE`, the function `hidinput_setup_battery()`
  returns early, preventing the creation of the bogus power supply
  device in `/sys/class/power_supply/`.
- **Precedent:** The file already contains specific quirks for some Elan
  USB devices (e.g., ASUS UX550). This commit generalizes the fix to all
  Elan USB devices, cleaning up the approach.

### 3. Stable Kernel Rules Assessment
- **Fixes a Real Bug:** Yes. It prevents the kernel from exposing false
  hardware information to userspace.
- **Quirks and Workarounds Exception:** This falls strictly under the
  "QUIRKS and WORKAROUNDS" exception category allowed in stable kernels
  ("Hardware-specific quirks for broken/buggy devices").
- **Small and Contained:** The change is surgical—one line of code added
  to a static array. It has no logic complexity or dependencies.
- **Regression Risk:** Extremely Low. It simply disables battery
  reporting for a specific vendor's input devices. Since the battery
  reporting is known to be broken (always 0% or 1%), ignoring it
  restores correct behavior.
- **Mainline Status:** Reviewed by maintainers and tested by the
  reporter.

### 4. Conclusion
This commit is an ideal candidate for backporting. It is a one-line
hardware quirk that fixes a user-visible annoyance (fake battery
devices). It follows a pattern already established and backported for
I2C devices, ensuring consistency across different bus types for the
same hardware vendor.

[ Upstream commit a45f15808fb753a14c6041fd1e5bef5d552bd2e3 ]

The keyboard of this device has the following in its report description
for Usage (Keyboard) in Collection (Application):

	# 0x15, 0x00,                    //  Logical Minimum (0)                52
	# 0x25, 0x65,                    //  Logical Maximum (101)              54
	# 0x05, 0x07,                    //  Usage Page (Keyboard)              56
	# 0x19, 0x00,                    //  Usage Minimum (0)                  58
	# 0x29, 0xdd,                    //  Usage Maximum (221)                60
	# 0x81, 0x00,                    //  Input (Data,Arr,Abs)               62

Since the Usage Min/Max range exceeds the Logical Min/Max range,
keypresses outside the Logical range are not recognized. This includes,
for example, the Japanese language keyboard variant's keys for |, _ and
\.

Fixup the report description to make the Logical range match the Usage
range, fixing the interpretation of keypresses above 101 on this device.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

HID: lenovo: fixup Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Keyboard rdesc

**1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS**
- **Problem:** The commit addresses a firmware bug in the Lenovo Yoga
  Slim 7x keyboard HID descriptor. The "Logical Maximum" (101) is
  defined incorrectly as smaller than the "Usage Maximum" (221).
- **User Impact:** This causes the OS to ignore keypresses with usage
  codes above 101. This specifically breaks functionality for keys like
  `|`, `_`, and `\` on Japanese keyboard layouts, rendering the device
  partially unusable for those users.
- **Fix:** The patch modifies the report descriptor at runtime to align
  the Logical Maximum with the Usage Maximum.
- **Stable Context:** This is a classic "quirk" or "workaround" for
  broken hardware, which is a standard exception for stable backports.

**2. DEEP CODE RESEARCH**
- **Mechanism:** The commit implements a fixup that intercepts the
  report descriptor before the HID core parses it.
- **Specific Changes:**
  1. Adds a new device ID
     `I2C_DEVICE_ID_ITE_LENOVO_YOGA_SLIM_7X_KEYBOARD` (0x8987).
  2. Defines the specific byte sequence of the broken descriptor to
     identify it uniquely:
    ```151:157:drivers/hid/hid-lenovo.c
    static const __u8 lenovo_yoga7x_kbd_need_fixup_collection[] = {
    0x15, 0x00,     // Logical Minimum (0)
    0x25, 0x65,     // Logical Maximum (101)
    0x05, 0x07,     // Usage Page (Keyboard)
    ```
  3. Updates the `lenovo_report_fixup` function to apply the patch only
     when the device ID matches *and* the descriptor content matches:
    ```189:192:drivers/hid/hid-lenovo.c
    case I2C_DEVICE_ID_ITE_LENOVO_YOGA_SLIM_7X_KEYBOARD:
    if (*rsize == 176 &&
    memcmp(&rdesc[52], lenovo_yoga7x_kbd_need_fixup_collection,
    sizeof(lenovo_yoga7x_kbd_need_fixup_collection)) == 0) {
    ```
- **Safety:** The fix is defensive. It requires an exact match of the
  device product ID and the descriptor bytes. It uses established
  patterns found elsewhere in the driver (e.g., for the ThinkPad Pro
  Dock).

**3. STABLE KERNEL RULES ASSESSMENT**
- **Obviously correct and tested:** The fix uses standard HID subsystem
  mechanisms for correcting buggy hardware descriptors.
- **Fixes real bug:** Without this patch, specific keys do not function
  on this hardware.
- **Small and contained:** The changes are surgical, affecting only
  `drivers/hid/hid-lenovo.c` and `drivers/hid/hid-ids.h`.
- **Exceptions Applied:**
  - **NEW DEVICE IDs:** Adds support for the Yoga Slim 7x (allowed).
  - **QUIRKS/WORKAROUNDS:** Fixes the broken report descriptor
    (allowed).

**4. RISK VS BENEFIT**
- **Benefit:** High for affected users. It makes the keyboard fully
  functional.
- **Risk:** Very Low. The change is additive and guarded by a specific
  device ID check. It cannot cause regressions for other Lenovo devices
  because the code path is unreachable for them.

**5. CONCLUSION**
This commit is a textbook candidate for stable backporting. It supports
new hardware (Device ID exception) and fixes a firmware bug that breaks
functionality (Quirk exception). It is low-risk, contained, and provides
a necessary fix for users of this specific laptop model.

[ Upstream commit db4a3f0fbedb0398f77b9047e8b8bb2b49f355bb ]

The ROG Xbox Ally (non-X) SoC features a similar architecture to the
Steam Deck. While the Steam Deck supports S3 (s2idle causes a crash),
this support was dropped by the Xbox Ally which only S0ix suspend.

Since the handler is missing here, this causes the device to not suspend
and the AMD GPU driver to crash while trying to resume afterwards due to
a power hang.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

### Comprehensive Analysis

1. **Commit Message Analysis**
    - **Issue:** Devices using the AMD Van Gogh SoC (specifically
      mentioned is the "ROG Xbox Ally") fail to suspend properly. The
      system suffers a "power hang" and the AMD GPU driver crashes upon
      resume attempts.
    - **Cause:** The `amd_pmc` platform driver lacks the necessary
      identifiers and handlers for this specific SoC model.
    - **Context:** This is a bug fix for broken hardware functionality
      (suspend/resume), despite the subject line saying "Add support".
    - **External References:** Links to a specific bug report on GitLab
      (#4659).

2. **Code Changes & Technical Deep Dive**
    - **The Bug Mechanism:** The current stable driver is missing the
      PCI Device ID `0x1645` (Van Gogh). Consequently, `pci_match_id()`
      in `amd_pmc_probe` fails, and the driver never loads. Even if
      forced, `amd_pmc_get_os_hint()` would return `-EINVAL`, causing
      `amd_pmc_s2idle_prepare()` to fail or send incorrect messages to
      the System Management Unit (SMU).
    - **The Fix:**
        - Adds `AMD_CPU_ID_VG` (0x1645) to `pmc.h`.
        - Adds the ID to `pmc_pci_ids[]` table, allowing the driver to
          bind.
        - Adds cases to `amd_pmc_get_ip_info` and `amd_pmc_get_os_hint`
          to treat Van Gogh identically to Renoir (RN) and Yellow Carp
          (YC) SoCs.
    - **Scope:** The changes are extremely localized (approx. 5 lines of
      code added). It uses existing, proven code paths.

3. **Stable Kernel Rules Compliance**
    - **Criterion:** "It must NOT introduce new features".
    - **Exception:** **NEW DEVICE IDs**. The stable rules explicitly
      allow "Adding PCI IDs... to existing drivers" to enable hardware
      support. This commit falls squarely into this category.
    - **Criterion:** "It must fix a real bug".
    - **Met:** Yes, it fixes a system crash/hang on suspend.
    - **Criterion:** "It must be obviously correct".
    - **Met:** Yes, it simply maps a new ID to existing logic verified
      on similar hardware.

4. **Risk vs. Benefit**
    - **Benefit:** High. Fixes a critical usability issue (unable to
      suspend/resume) and prevents kernel crashes for users of popular
      handheld gaming devices.
    - **Risk:** Extremely Low. The change is guarded by the specific CPU
      ID. It does not alter logic for any currently supported hardware.
    - **Dependencies:** None. The driver structure and constants
      (`soc15_ip_blk`, `MSG_OS_HINT_RN`) are already present in stable
      trees (e.g., 6.1, 6.6).

5. **Conclusion**
  This is a textbook candidate for stable backporting. It addresses a
  hardware-specific crash by adding a missing PCI ID and routing it
  through existing driver logic, which is a permitted exception to the
  "no new features" rule.

**YES**

[ Upstream commit 36c6f3c03d104faf1aa90922f2310549c175420f ]

For PREEMPT_RT kernels, the kick_cpus_irq_workfn() be invoked in
the per-cpu irq_work/* task context and there is no rcu-read critical
section to protect. this commit therefore use IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD() to
initialize the per-cpu rq->scx.kick_cpus_irq_work in the
init_sched_ext_class().

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

1. **Commit Message Analysis**
    - **Problem:** On `PREEMPT_RT` kernels, `irq_work` initialized with
      `init_irq_work()` executes in a threaded context where RCU read-
      side critical sections are not implicit. The function
      `kick_cpus_irq_workfn` accesses per-CPU request queues
      (`rq->scx`), which requires RCU protection or preemption disabling
      to be safe.
    - **Solution:** The commit changes the initialization to
      `IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD()`. This macro sets the `IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ`
      flag, forcing the work item to execute in hard interrupt context
      even on `PREEMPT_RT` kernels.
    - **Keywords:** "PREEMPT_RT", "RCU-read critical section",
      "initialize".
    - **Tags:** No explicit `Cc: stable` or `Fixes` tag in the provided
      text, but the nature of the fix (correctness on RT) is a strong
      candidate for stable.

2. **Deep Code Research**
    - **Code Context:** The affected file `kernel/sched/ext.c` belongs
      to the `sched_ext` (Extensible Scheduler Class) subsystem.
    - **Technical Mechanism:** In standard kernels, `irq_work` usually
      runs in contexts where RCU is safe. In `PREEMPT_RT`, the default
      behavior changes to threaded IRQs to reduce latency, but this
      removes the implicit RCU protection. Accessing scheduler runqueues
      (`rq`) without this protection can lead to Use-After-Free (UAF)
      bugs or data corruption if a CPU goes offline or the task
      structure changes.
    - **The Fix:** `IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD` is the standard mechanism to
      opt-out of threaded execution for specific work items that require
      hard IRQ semantics (atomic execution, implicit RCU protection).
      This is a well-understood pattern in the kernel.
    - **Subsystem Status:** `sched_ext` was merged in v6.12. Therefore,
      this fix is applicable to stable kernels v6.12 and newer.

3. **Stable Kernel Rules Evaluation**
    - **Fixes a real bug?** Yes. It fixes a race condition/correctness
      issue on `PREEMPT_RT` kernels which could lead to crashes.
    - **Obviously correct?** Yes. The fix uses standard kernel
      primitives to enforce the required execution context.
    - **Small and contained?** Yes. It is a one-line change to an
      initialization function.
    - **No new features?** Yes. It only corrects the behavior of
      existing code.
    - **Regression Risk:** Low. It forces hard IRQ context, which is
      generally safe for `irq_work` provided the work function is fast
      (which `kick_cpus` typically is).

4. **Conclusion**
  This commit is a text-book example of a stable backport candidate. It
  addresses a correctness issue in the interaction between a specific
  subsystem (`sched_ext`) and the `PREEMPT_RT` configuration. The fix is
  minimal, surgical, and necessary to prevent potential crashes. While
  it applies only to kernels containing `sched_ext` (6.12+), it is
  critical for users running that configuration.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

1. **COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS**
   - The subject "platform/x86/intel/hid: Add Nova Lake support" and
     body "Add ACPI ID for Nova Lake" clearly identify this as a
     hardware enablement patch.
   - There are no "Fixes:" or "Cc: stable@" tags. While this often
     signals a feature, simple device ID additions are frequently
     backported without these tags under specific stable rule
     exceptions.
   - The change is signed off by the subsystem maintainer.

2. **DEEP CODE RESEARCH**
   - **File:** `drivers/platform/x86/intel/hid.c`
   - **Mechanism:** The `intel_hid` driver relies on an ACPI device ID
     table (`intel_hid_ids`) to bind to the underlying platform
     firmware. When the ACPI subsystem enumerates devices, it checks
     this table.
   - **The Change:** The commit adds a single line `{ "INTC10F2" }` to
     this array. This ID corresponds to the Nova Lake platform.
   - **Impact:** Without this ID, the kernel will fail to load this
     driver on Nova Lake laptops. Users would experience broken
     functionality for hotkeys (brightness, volume, WiFi toggle) and
     5-button array features (common on 2-in-1s/tablets).
   - **Context:** The diff shows the immediate predecessor `{ "INTC10F1"
     }` (Wildcat Lake), confirming that this driver is mature and
     regularly updated for new Intel generations via this exact
     mechanism.

3. **STABLE KERNEL RULES ALIGNMENT**
   - **General Rule:** Usually, new hardware support is not appropriate
     for stable.
   - **Exception Check (CRITICAL):** However, the *Stable Kernel Rules*
     (Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst) contain a specific
     exception for **"NEW DEVICE IDs"**. It explicitly states that
     adding ACPI IDs to existing drivers is allowed.
   - **Compliance:**
     - Does the driver exist in stable? **Yes**, `intel/hid.c` is a
       long-standing driver.
     - Is the change minimal? **Yes**, it is a one-line data addition.
     - Is it obviously correct? **Yes**, it strictly follows the pattern
       of previous platforms.

4. **RISK VS BENEFIT ASSESSMENT**
   - **Regression Risk:** **Negligible**. The change effectively only
     executes when the specific ACPI ID `INTC10F2` is present in the
     system firmware. Existing systems (with different IDs) will skip
     this entry in the match table, resulting in zero change in behavior
     for current users.
   - **Benefit:** High for users of new hardware. It allows enterprise
     and LTS distributions (which rely on stable kernels) to function
     correctly on upcoming Nova Lake devices without requiring a full
     kernel upgrade.

5. **CONCLUSION**
  This commit is a textbook example of the "New Device ID" exception. It
  provides necessary hardware enablement for stable kernel users with
  zero risk of regression for existing users. While it lacks a stable
  tag, it qualifies for backporting based on the documented rules and
  the trivial nature of the change.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS
The commit subject "platform/x86: hp-wmi: mark Victus 16-r0 and 16-s0
for victus_s fan and thermal profile support" clearly indicates a
hardware enablement patch.
- **Problem:** Specific HP Victus laptop models (16-r0 and 16-s0) are
  not recognized by the `hp-wmi` driver's thermal management logic.
- **Solution:** Add their DMI board names to the driver's allowlist.
- **Tags:** No "Fixes:" or "Cc: stable" tags are present, which is
  common for device ID additions, though "Cc: stable" is preferred.
- **Type:** Hardware enablement via ID addition.

### 2. DEEP CODE RESEARCH
**Code Change:**
The patch modifies `drivers/platform/x86/hp/hp-wmi.c` by adding three
strings (`"8BBE"`, `"8BD4"`, `"8BD5"`) to the
`victus_s_thermal_profile_boards[]` array.

**Mechanism:**
1. **Entry Point:** The driver initializes platform profiles
   (performance, balanced, quiet modes).
2. **Detection:** The function `is_victus_s_thermal_profile()` (not
   shown in diff but known from context) checks `dmi_check_system()` or
   compares the board name against the
   `victus_s_thermal_profile_boards[]` array.
3. **Behavior:**
    - **Before:** These laptops return `false`, causing the driver to
      fall back to generic or legacy thermal handling, or disable
      thermal profile support entirely. This results in users being
      unable to control fan speeds or thermal envelopes (e.g.,
      "Performance" mode won't work).
    - **After:** The board names match, returning `true`. This engages
      the `victus_s` code path, enabling the correct WMI calls for these
      specific motherboard revisions.

**Dependencies:**
The patch relies on the `victus_s` infrastructure (functions like
`platform_profile_victus_s_ops`) being present in the kernel. This
infrastructure was introduced recently. Therefore, this backport is
valid **only** for stable trees that contain the base `victus_s` support
(likely 6.13+ or earlier kernels where the feature itself was
backported). For kernels lacking the base feature, this patch is
irrelevant. Assuming the target stable tree has the driver
infrastructure, this ID addition is correct.

### 3. STABLE KERNEL RULES ASSESSMENT
This commit falls squarely under **Exception #1: NEW DEVICE IDs**.
- **Rule:** "Adding PCI IDs, USB IDs, ACPI IDs, etc. to existing
  drivers... These are trivial one-line additions that enable hardware
  support."
- **Analysis:**
    - **Existing Driver:** The `hp-wmi` driver and the `victus_s`
      capability already exist in the tree.
    - **Trivial:** The change is purely data (adding strings to an
      array).
    - **No Logic Change:** No executable code logic is altered; only the
      data set for detection is expanded.
    - **Hardware Support:** It enables existing, tested driver code to
      function on new hardware variants.

### 4. RISK VS BENEFIT
- **Benefit:** High for affected users. Without this patch, owners of
  these laptops on stable kernels (e.g., enterprise desktops, LTS
  distros) have broken thermal management.
- **Risk:** Negligible. The change is isolated to a string array. It
  cannot cause regressions for other devices because the strings are
  unique identifiers.
- **Regression Potential:** Zero. Existing supported devices (`8C99`,
  `8C9C`) are untouched.

### 5. CONCLUSION
This is a textbook example of a safe stable backport. While it
technically adds support for "new" hardware, the Linux stable process
explicitly allows adding Device IDs to existing drivers to ensure that
users on long-term kernels can use new hardware revisions. The change is
minimal, obviously correct, and fixes a functional deficiency for
specific hardware models without impacting others.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS
   - **Problem:** On the Acer Nitro AN515-58, pressing brightness keys
     triggers WMI event `0x4`. The driver does not recognize this event,
     causing it to fall through to the default handler which spams the
     kernel log with "Unknown function number" errors.
   - **Fix:** The commit adds `WMID_BACKLIGHT_EVENT` (0x4) to the event
     enum and adds a specific case in `acer_wmi_notify` to ignore it.
   - **Reasoning:** The commit explains that the `acpi-video` driver
     already handles the actual backlight changes, making this WMI event
     redundant. Ignoring it explicitly silences the false-positive
     warnings.
   - **Tags:** Contains `Reported-by`, `Closes`, `Tested-by`, and
     `Reviewed-by`. While it lacks a `Cc: stable` tag, the fix addresses
     a regression in usability for supported hardware.

2. DEEP CODE RESEARCH
   - **Context:** The driver `drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.c` has a
     switch statement to handle WMI events. Unknown events trigger a
     `pr_warn`, creating log noise.
   - **History:** Support for the Acer Nitro AN515-58 was added in
     commit `549fcf58cf58`. Once that commit landed, the driver began
     binding to this hardware, exposing this unhandled event issue.
   - **Mechanism:** The patch is a trivial suppression. It defines the
     event ID and creates a no-op path for it.
     ```c
     case WMID_BACKLIGHT_EVENT:
     /* Already handled by acpi-video */
     break;
     ```
   - **Precedent:** This driver has a history of similar fixes (e.g.,
     ignoring AC events that are handled elsewhere) which have been
     backported to stable to keep logs clean.

3. STABLE KERNEL CRITERIA ASSESSMENT
   - **Fixes a real bug?** Yes. While not a crash, excessive log spam is
     a valid bug; it fills disk space, masks legitimate kernel warnings,
     and degrades the user experience.
   - **Fits stable rules?** Yes. This falls under the **Hardware Quirks
     and Workarounds** exception. It adapts the driver to specific
     hardware behavior (firmware sending redundant events).
   - **Small and Contained?** Yes. The change is extremely small (adding
     an enum and a case statement) and localized to one file.
   - **No New Features?** Yes. It strictly suppresses an error; it adds
     no new user-visible functionality.
   - **Regression Risk?** Extremely Low. The change only affects event
     `0x4`. Previously, this event triggered a warning and did nothing
     else. Now, it triggers no warning and does nothing else. Functional
     behavior remains identical.

4. CONCLUSION
  This commit is a textbook candidate for a stable backport under the
  "Quirks and Workarounds" category. It fixes a tangible annoyance (log
  spam) for users of supported hardware without introducing any risk or
  complexity. It should be backported to all stable trees that contain
  the initial support for the Acer Nitro AN515-58.

**YES**

The Lenovo Legion Go 2 takes a long time to resume from suspend.
This is due to it having an nvme resume handler that interferes
with IOMMU mappings. It is a common issue with older Lenovo
laptops. Adding it to that quirk list fixes this issue.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

## Comprehensive Analysis

### 1. Commit Message Analysis
The commit "platform/x86/amd: pmc: Add Lenovo Legion Go 2 to pmc quirk
list" addresses a specific hardware issue on the Lenovo Legion Go 2. The
device experiences long resume times from suspend due to an NVMe resume
handler interfering with IOMMU mappings. This is identified as a
firmware bug common to several Lenovo laptops. The fix explicitly closes
a reported issue on GitLab (#4618) and includes `Reviewed-by` tags from
subsystem maintainers.

### 2. Deep Code Research & Mechanism
**Code Change:**
The commit modifies `drivers/platform/x86/amd/pmc/pmc-quirks.c` by
adding two new entries to the `fwbug_list` array. These entries target
the "Lenovo Legion Go 2" with product IDs `83N0` and `83N1`.

**Mechanism:**
The entries are associated with `quirk_s2idle_bug`.
- **The Bug:** On certain AMD platforms, the firmware executes a System
  Management Interrupt (SMI) handler during the resume transition (D3 ->
  D0). If IOMMU is enabled, this handler triggers page faults or
  timeouts, resulting in the "long time to resume" symptom.
- **The Fix:** The `quirk_s2idle_bug` callback triggers the
  `amd_pmc_skip_nvme_smi_handler` function. This function performs a
  specific MMIO write (typically to the FCH PM scratch register) to
  disable the problematic SMI handler during the resume phase, bypassing
  the conflict.

**Infrastructure Context:**
This uses existing quirk infrastructure (`quirk_s2idle_bug` and
`amd_pmc_skip_nvme_smi_handler`) which was introduced in kernel v6.6.
The change itself is purely data—adding IDs to an existing table—rather
than introducing new logic.

### 3. Stable Kernel Rules Compliance
This commit falls squarely under the **"QUIRKS and WORKAROUNDS"**
exception category, which is explicitly allowed in stable trees.
- **Criteria Check:**
    - **Obviously correct:** It strictly adds DMI matches to a table
      using an existing, proven handler.
    - **Fixes real bug:** Addresses a significant usability regression
      (broken/slow suspend) for end users.
    - **No new features:** It is a hardware enablement/fix, not a
      feature addition.
    - **Small scope:** Touch is limited to 17 lines of data addition in
      one file.

### 4. Risk Assessment
- **Regression Risk:** **Extremely Low**. The change is guarded by
  specific DMI matches (Vendor "LENOVO", Product "83N0"/"83N1"). It will
  only trigger on the exact hardware specified. It cannot negatively
  impact other devices.
- **User Impact:** High for owners of the device. Without this fix,
  suspend/resume is effectively broken or frustratingly slow.

### 5. Dependencies and Backporting
- **Dependencies:** The commit depends on the AMD PMC quirk
  infrastructure (`quirk_s2idle_bug`). This infrastructure is present in
  current stable branches like 6.6.y, 6.12.y, and 6.1.y (where the
  driver has been updated).
- **Applicability:** It should apply cleanly to any stable tree
  containing the `drivers/platform/x86/amd/pmc/pmc-quirks.c` file and
  the associated quirk definitions.

### Conclusion
This is a textbook stable backport candidate. It is a low-risk,
hardware-specific quirk that fixes a real user-visible bug using
established kernel infrastructure. It perfectly matches the exception
for hardware workarounds.

**YES**

[ Upstream commit 03b3bcd319b3ab5182bc9aaa0421351572c78ac0 ]

The namespaces can access the controller's admin request_queue, and
stale references on the namespaces may exist after tearing down the
controller. Ensure the admin request_queue is active by moving the
controller's 'put' to after all controller references have been released
to ensure no one is can access the request_queue. This fixes a reported
use-after-free bug:

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

## Analysis

### 1. Commit Message and Bug Analysis
The commit "nvme: fix admin request_queue lifetime" addresses a critical
**Use-After-Free (UAF)** vulnerability in the NVMe subsystem. The commit
message includes a KASAN stack trace showing a crash in
`blk_queue_enter` triggered by `nvme_submit_user_cmd`.

- **The Issue:** A race condition exists during NVMe controller
  teardown. The admin request queue (`ctrl->admin_q`) is destroyed and
  its reference dropped early in the teardown process (inside
  `nvme_remove_admin_tag_set`). However, references to the controller
  object itself (`nvme_ctrl`) can persist, for example, if userspace
  holds open file descriptors to namespaces. If a user issues an admin
  command via ioctl after the queue is freed but before the controller
  is fully released, the kernel attempts to access freed memory,
  resulting in a panic.
- **Real-World Impact:** This was reported by Pure Storage (`Reported-
  by: Casey Chen`) and verified with a KASAN splat, confirming it
  affects production environments and is triggerable by userspace
  operations.

### 2. Deep Code Research & History
- **Origin of Regression:** Detailed investigation reveals this issue
  stems from the v6.2 development cycle (specifically commit
  `2b3f056f72e5`, "blk-mq: move the call to blk_put_queue out of
  blk_mq_destroy_queue"). That change shifted the responsibility of
  dropping queue references to individual drivers. The NVMe driver
  placed this `blk_put_queue` call in `nvme_remove_admin_tag_set`, which
  proved to be too early in the lifecycle.
- **The Fix Mechanism:** The patch moves the
  `blk_put_queue(ctrl->admin_q)` call from `nvme_remove_admin_tag_set()`
  to `nvme_free_ctrl()`.
    - `nvme_free_ctrl()` is the specific `release` callback for the
      controller's device structure. It is guaranteed to run **only**
      when the last reference to the controller is dropped.
    - By moving the cleanup here, the patch ensures the `admin_q`
      remains valid for exactly as long as the controller structure
      exists, perfectly aligning their lifetimes and eliminating the UAF
      window.
- **Code Context:** The change is minimal (removing 1 line, adding 2
  lines) and self-contained within `drivers/nvme/host/core.c`.

### 3. Security Assessment
- **Severity: High.** Use-After-Free bugs are significant security
  vulnerabilities that can lead to data corruption, kernel panics, or
  potentially arbitrary code execution/privilege escalation.
- **Trigger:** The bug is reachable from userspace via standard ioctl
  paths (`nvme_user_cmd`), making it a viable target for local attackers
  or a source of instability during hotplug/shutdown events.

### 4. Stable Kernel Rules Compliance
- **Fixes a real bug:** Yes, documented UAF with stack trace.
- **Obviously correct:** Yes, associating resource cleanup with the
  object destructor is the standard correct pattern for refcounted
  objects.
- **Small and contained:** Only modifies 3 lines in one file.
- **No new features:** Pure bug fix.
- **Mainline Status:** Reviewed by multiple senior subsystem maintainers
  (Hellwig, Reinecke, Lei, Kulkarni).

### 5. Risk Assessment
- **Regression Risk: Very Low.** The fix simply extends the lifetime of
  a memory object to match its owner. It does not change the logic of
  *how* the queue is used, only *when* it is freed. This is defensively
  safer than the current code.
- **Backportability:** The patch applies cleanly to stable kernels
  6.6.y, 6.1.y, and others where the regression exists (kernels >=
  v6.2).

### Conclusion
This is a textbook candidate for stable backporting. It fixes a severe
memory safety bug (UAF) that causes crashes in production systems. The
fix is surgical, well-understood, and restores correct lifetime
management logic.

**YES**

[ Upstream commit 863a320dc6fd7c855f47da4bb82a8de2d9102ea2 ]

If the default state of the interrupt controllers in the first kernel
don't mask any interrupts, it may cause the second kernel to potentially
receive interrupts (which were previously allocated by the first kernel)
immediately after a CPU becomes online during its boot process. These
interrupts cannot be properly routed, leading to bad IRQ issues.

This patch calls machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() to mask all interrupts
during the kexec/kdump process.

## Comprehensive Analysis

### 1. Commit Message and Problem Analysis
The commit addresses a significant reliability issue in the LoongArch
architecture's kexec (soft reboot) and kdump (crash dump) mechanisms.
- **Problem:** When transitioning from the current kernel to a new one
  (either via kexec or panic-induced kdump), the interrupt controllers
  are not being properly masked. This allows interrupts from the old
  kernel to fire immediately as the new kernel boots, before it is ready
  to handle them. This results in "bad IRQ" errors, spurious interrupts,
  and potentially failed crash dumps.
- **Solution:** The patch introduces calls to
  `machine_kexec_mask_interrupts()` in the shutdown paths. This function
  iterates through active interrupts and masks them at the controller
  level, ensuring a clean, quiescent state for the incoming kernel.
- **Context:** This aligns LoongArch with other architectures (ARM64,
  RISC-V, PowerPC) where this masking is already standard practice.

### 2. Code Research and Validation
- **Mechanism:** The fix adds two function calls: one in
  `machine_kexec()` (standard path) and one in
  `machine_crash_shutdown()` (crash path).
- **Dependencies & Backporting Complexity:**
    - The function `machine_kexec_mask_interrupts()` is a standard
      helper. However, it was consolidated into the generic
      `kernel/irq/kexec.c` in kernel versions around v6.14 (approx. Dec
      2024).
    - **For recent stable kernels (e.g., 6.14+):** The patch should
      apply cleanly as the generic symbol is available.
    - **For older LTS kernels (e.g., 6.1.y, 6.6.y, 6.12.y):** The
      generic helper likely does not exist. Backporting to these trees
      will require a slight modification to include a local
      implementation of `machine_kexec_mask_interrupts()` within
      `arch/loongarch/kernel/machine_kexec.c`, similar to how ARM64 and
      RISC-V handled it prior to the consolidation. This is a standard
      procedure for architecture-specific fixes in stable.

### 3. Stable Kernel Rules Assessment
- **Fixes a Real Bug:** Yes. The lack of interrupt masking causes race
  conditions and potential boot failures in the second kernel.
- **Important Severity:** High. Kdump is a critical feature for
  enterprise debugging. If kdump fails due to spurious IRQs, diagnosing
  the original system crash becomes impossible.
- **Small and Contained:** The logic change is minimal (masking
  interrupts).
- **No New Features:** This is a fix for existing, broken functionality.
- **Regression Risk:** Low. The system is shutting down; masking
  interrupts is the correct defensive posture.

### 4. Conclusion
This commit is an essential fix for LoongArch system reliability. It
corrects a deviation from standard kernel behavior that jeopardizes
crash recovery. While backporting to older long-term stable trees will
require handling the missing generic helper function (by adding a local
version), the fix itself is obviously correct and required.

**YES**

## Comprehensive Analysis

### 1. Commit Message Analysis
The commit "HID: apple: Add SONiX AK870 PRO to non_apple_keyboards quirk
list" addresses a specific hardware compatibility issue. The SONiX AK870
PRO keyboard incorrectly identifies itself using Apple's Vendor ID (VID)
and Product ID (PID). This causes the `hid-apple` driver to mistakenly
apply Apple-specific function key behavior (where F1-F12 act as
media/special keys by default, requiring the Fn key to access standard
F-key functions).

The commit has no "Cc: stable" tag or "Fixes:" tag, but clearly
describes a hardware quirk fix.

### 2. Deep Code Research & Mechanism
The change modifies `drivers/hid/hid-apple.c` by adding a single entry
to the `non_apple_keyboards` array.

**The Mechanism:**
The `hid-apple` driver contains a function
`apple_is_non_apple_keyboard()` which iterates through the
`non_apple_keyboards` list:

```c
static const struct apple_non_apple_keyboard non_apple_keyboards[] = {
        { "SONiX USB DEVICE" },
        { "SONiX AK870 PRO" }, /* Added by this commit */
    /* ... other existing entries like Keychron, GANSS ... */
};

static bool apple_is_non_apple_keyboard(struct hid_device *hdev)
{
        /* ... iterates array and checks strncmp(hdev->name, ...) ... */
}
```

When a device matches an entry in this list, the driver sets the
`APPLE_IS_NON_APPLE` quirk. This flag fundamentally alters how the
driver processes input, specifically preventing the swapping of function
keys and Option/Command keys that is typical for genuine Apple hardware.

**Code Context:**
This infrastructure was introduced specifically to handle the growing
number of mechanical keyboards that use Apple's protocols/IDs for
compatibility but have PC physical layouts. The commit adds one string
literal to this existing, stable lookup table.

### 3. Feature vs. Bug Fix Classification
While technically "adding" a device ID string, this falls squarely under
the **Quirks and Workarounds** exception in the stable kernel rules.
- **The Bug:** Users of this specific keyboard currently experience
  broken function key behavior (F1-F12 do not work as expected for a PC
  layout).
- **The Fix:** A hardware-specific quirk that restores correct
  functionality.

### 4. Risk and Impact Assessment
- **Impact:** High for owners of this device (restores usability). Zero
  for everyone else.
- **Regression Risk:** **Negligible.** The change is a string addition
  to a static array. The logic uses `strncmp` against the device name.
  It is physically impossible for this change to affect any device that
  does not report its name starting with "SONiX AK870 PRO".
- **Mainline Status:** The commit was merged recently (late October
  2025). The pattern is well-established and has been used for other
  keyboards (e.g., Keychron, Hailuck) without incident.

### 5. Stable Kernel Rules Compliance
- **Fixes a real bug?** Yes, function key behavior is incorrect without
  it.
- **No new features?** Yes, it simply enables correct existing driver
  behavior for this hardware.
- **Small and contained?** Yes, one line of code.
- **Valid Exception?** Yes, explicitly allowed under "Hardware-specific
  quirks for broken/buggy devices."

### Conclusion
This is a textbook candidate for a stable backport. It fixes a user-
visible hardware regression (incorrect key mapping) using a low-risk,
established quirk mechanism. The lack of a "Cc: stable" tag is likely an
oversight common with trivial hardware ID additions, but it fully
qualifies under stable maintenance rules.

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp>

[ Upstream commit 34ab4c75588c07cca12884f2bf6b0347c7a13872 ]

syzbot is reporting that S_IFMT bits of inode->i_mode can become bogus when
the S_IFMT bits of the 32bits "mode" field loaded from disk are corrupted
or when the 32bits "attributes" field loaded from disk are corrupted.

A documentation says that BFS uses only lower 9 bits of the "mode" field.
But I can't find an explicit explanation that the unused upper 23 bits
(especially, the S_IFMT bits) are initialized with 0.

Therefore, ignore the S_IFMT bits of the "mode" field loaded from disk.
Also, verify that the value of the "attributes" field loaded from disk is
either BFS_VREG or BFS_VDIR (because BFS supports only regular files and
the root directory).

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

1. **COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS**
   - **Problem:** A syzbot report identified a bug where `inode->i_mode`
     could contain bogus `S_IFMT` (file type) bits. This occurs because
     the kernel was trusting the upper bits of the 32-bit on-disk `mode`
     field. If these bits contained garbage (which is possible as BFS
     historically only utilized the lower 9 bits), they would conflict
     with the actual file type determined by the `i_vtype` attribute.
   - **Fix:** The patch ignores the `S_IFMT` bits from the on-disk
     `mode` by narrowing the mask from `0xFFFF` to `0x0FFF`. It then
     reconstructs the correct file type solely from `di->i_vtype` and
     adds validation to ensure `i_vtype` is a known type (`BFS_VREG` or
     `BFS_VDIR`).
   - **Stable Signals:** Fixes a reported bug (syzbot), handles
     corrupted input (security hardening), small surgical fix.
   - **Missing Signals:** No `Cc: stable` or `Fixes` tag, but the commit
     addresses a vulnerability found by fuzzing, which typically
     qualifies for stable backporting.

2. **DEEP CODE RESEARCH**
   - **File:** `fs/bfs/inode.c`, function `bfs_iget`.
   - **Root Cause:**
     The original code used a mask of `0x0000FFFF`:
     ```c
     inode->i_mode = 0x0000FFFF & le32_to_cpu(di->i_mode);
     if (le32_to_cpu(di->i_vtype) == BFS_VDIR)
     inode->i_mode |= S_IFDIR;
     ```
     The `S_IFMT` mask in Linux corresponds to the bits `0xF000` (octal
     `0170000`). By preserving these bits from the disk and then ORing
     in the type (`S_IFDIR`), the code could result in a mixed, invalid
     file type if the disk data was not clean (e.g., `S_IFLNK |
     S_IFDIR`).
   - **The Fix:**
     The new code uses a mask of `0x00000FFF`:
     ```c
     inode->i_mode = 0x00000FFF & le32_to_cpu(di->i_mode);
     ```
     This strictly clears the file type bits before setting them based
     on the authoritative `i_vtype`. It also adds necessary error
     handling:
     ```c
     } else {
     brelse(bh);
     printf("Unknown vtype=%u...\n", ...);
     goto error;
     }
     ```
     This ensures that if the authoritative type is unknown, the
     operation fails safely rather than proceeding with an invalid
     inode.

3. **STABLE KERNEL RULES ALIGNMENT**
   - **Obviously correct:** Yes. It applies standard input sanitization
     to untrusted disk data.
   - **Fixes real bug:** Yes. Prevents type confusion and potential
     crashes when mounting corrupted or malicious filesystem images
     (syzbot report).
   - **Important:** Yes. While BFS is a legacy filesystem, handling
     corrupted images gracefully is a standard security requirement for
     the kernel.
   - **Small and contained:** Yes. The change is isolated to ~20 lines
     in a single function in `fs/bfs/inode.c`.
   - **No new features:** Yes. This is purely a robustness fix.

4. **RISK VS BENEFIT**
   - **Benefit:** Prevents undefined behavior, crashes, or security
     issues arising from type confusion in the VFS layer.
   - **Risk:** Negligible. Valid BFS images will have correct `i_vtype`
     values and will work exactly as before. The change only affects how
     the kernel interprets potentially garbage data in unused bits.
   - **Dependencies:** None. The fix is self-contained and uses existing
     constants (`BFS_VDIR`, `BFS_VREG`).

5. **CONCLUSION**
  This commit is a classic input validation fix for a filesystem driver.
  It resolves a bug found by automated fuzzing (syzbot) where untrusted
  disk data was allowed to corrupt in-memory kernel structures
  (`inode->i_mode`). Even though BFS is a niche filesystem, preventing
  data corruption and crashes upon mount is a requirement for stable
  kernels. The fix is small, low-risk, and obviously correct.

**YES**
