Overview

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: bridge: adv7511: unregister cec i2c device after cec adapter cec_unregister_adapter() assumes that the underlying adapter ops are callable. For example, if the CEC adapter currently has a valid physical address, then the unregistration procedure will invalidate the physical address by setting it to f.f.f.f. Whence the following kernel oops observed after removing the adv7511 module: Unable to handle kernel execution of user memory at virtual address 0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 86000004 [#1] PREEMPT_RT SMP Call trace: 0x0 adv7511_cec_adap_log_addr+0x1ac/0x1c8 [adv7511] cec_adap_unconfigure+0x44/0x90 [cec] __cec_s_phys_addr.part.0+0x68/0x230 [cec] __cec_s_phys_addr+0x40/0x50 [cec] cec_unregister_adapter+0xb4/0x118 [cec] adv7511_remove+0x60/0x90 [adv7511] i2c_device_remove+0x34/0xe0 device_release_driver_internal+0x114/0x1f0 driver_detach+0x54/0xe0 bus_remove_driver+0x60/0xd8 driver_unregister+0x34/0x60 i2c_del_driver+0x2c/0x68 adv7511_exit+0x1c/0x67c [adv7511] __arm64_sys_delete_module+0x154/0x288 invoke_syscall+0x48/0x100 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x48/0xe8 do_el0_svc+0x28/0x88 el0_svc+0x1c/0x50 el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa8/0xb0 el0t_64_sync+0x15c/0x160 Code: bad PC value ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Protect against this scenario by unregistering i2c_cec after unregistering the CEC adapter. Duly disable the CEC clock afterwards too.

  1. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: coresight: tmc-etr: Fix race condition between sysfs and perf mode When trying to run perf and sysfs mode simultaneously, the WARN_ON() in tmc_etr_enable_hw() is triggered sometimes: WARNING: CPU: 42 PID: 3911571 at drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c:1060 tmc_etr_enable_hw+0xc0/0xd8 [coresight_tmc] [..snip..] Call trace: tmc_etr_enable_hw+0xc0/0xd8 [coresight_tmc] (P) tmc_enable_etr_sink+0x11c/0x250 [coresight_tmc] (L) tmc_enable_etr_sink+0x11c/0x250 [coresight_tmc] coresight_enable_path+0x1c8/0x218 [coresight] coresight_enable_sysfs+0xa4/0x228 [coresight] enable_source_store+0x58/0xa8 [coresight] dev_attr_store+0x20/0x40 sysfs_kf_write+0x4c/0x68 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x120/0x1b8 vfs_write+0x2c8/0x388 ksys_write+0x74/0x108 __arm64_sys_write+0x24/0x38 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x64/0x148 do_el0_svc+0x24/0x38 el0_svc+0x3c/0x130 el0t_64_sync_handler+0xc8/0xd0 el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Since the enablement of sysfs mode is separeted into two critical regions, one for sysfs buffer allocation and another for hardware enablement, it's possible to race with the perf mode. Fix this by double check whether the perf mode's been used before enabling the hardware in sysfs mode. mode: [sysfs mode] [perf mode] tmc_etr_get_sysfs_buffer() spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) [sysfs buffer allocation] spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) tmc_etr_enable_hw() drvdata->etr_buf = etr_perf->etr_buf spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) tmc_etr_enable_hw() WARN_ON(drvdata->etr_buf) // WARN sicne etr_buf initialized at the perf side spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) With this fix, we retain the check for CS_MODE_PERF in get_etr_sysfs_buf. This ensures we verify whether the perf mode's already running before we actually allocate the buffer. Then we can save the time of allocating/freeing the sysfs buffer if race with the perf mode.CVE-2026-46272
