Just a rebasing onto linux-6.18.y - only basic testing has been performed.

For testing, I've built this against a generic ubuntu-based kernel config for v6.18, generated via:

git clone --depth 1 -b master-next https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/questing ./linux-ubuntu

pushd ./linux-ubuntu

./debian/scripts/misc/annotations \
    -f 'debian.master/config/annotations' \
    -a 'amd64' \
    -l 'generic' \
    -e

and with that generated .config, updated it for v6.18, with the newest settings' defaults filled in via:

make olddefconfig

built with:

make -j $(nproc) bindeb-pkg

For the test system, used pax_softmode=1 along with security=tomoyo, to use tomoyo-editpolicy /etc/tomoyo in system-wide learning mode (in order to easily paxmark all the gjs related things), before setting pax_softmode=0 and rebooting to confirm that gdm and the entire gnome shell environment was working correctly.

Have done basic testing, confirming that these features, so far, seemingly function as expected:

  • OPENPAX_SOFTMODE
  • OPENPAX_XATTR_PAX_FLAGS
  • OPENPAX_MPROTECT

For a cleaner view of just these commits, against mainline linux-6.18.y, check out: https://github.com/quinndiggity/linux-openpax/pull/1/commits

Replace close_cached_dir() calls under cfid_list_lock with a new
close_cached_dir_locked() variant that uses kref_put() instead of
kref_put_lock() to avoid recursive locking when dropping references.

While the existing code works if the refcount >= 2 invariant holds,
this area has proven error-prone. Make deadlocks impossible and WARN
on invariant violations.

Add proper cleanup of ctx->source and fc->source to the
cifs_parse_mount_err error handler. This ensures that memory allocated
for the source strings is correctly freed on all error paths, matching
the cleanup already performed in the success path by
smb3_cleanup_fs_context_contents().
Pointers are also set to NULL after freeing to prevent potential
double-free issues.

This change fixes a memory leak originally detected by syzbot. The
leak occurred when processing Opt_source mount options if an error
happened after ctx->source and fc->source were successfully
allocated but before the function completed.

The specific leak sequence was:
1. ctx->source = smb3_fs_context_fullpath(ctx, '/') allocates memory
2. fc->source = kstrdup(ctx->source, GFP_KERNEL) allocates more memory
3. A subsequent error jumps to cifs_parse_mount_err
4. The old error handler freed passwords but not the source strings,
causing the memory to leak.

This issue was not addressed by commit e8c73eb ("cifs: client:
fix memory leak in smb3_fs_context_parse_param"), which only fixed
leaks from repeated fsconfig() calls but not this error path.

Currently cpu-clock event always returns 0 count, e.g.,

perf stat -e cpu-clock -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
                 0      cpu-clock                        #    0.000 CPUs utilized
       1.002308394 seconds time elapsed

The root cause is the commit 'bc4394e5e79c ("perf: Fix the throttle
 error of some clock events")' adds PERF_EF_UPDATE flag check before
calling cpu_clock_event_update() to update the count, however the
PERF_EF_UPDATE flag is never set when the cpu-clock event is stopped in
counting mode (pmu->dev() -> cpu_clock_event_del() ->
cpu_clock_event_stop()). This leads to the cpu-clock event count is
never updated.

To fix this issue, force to set PERF_EF_UPDATE flag for cpu-clock event
just like what task-clock does.

 ==================================================================

On further analysis, I realized that the second parameter to min() is
not correct.  xfs_ifork::if_bytes is the size of the xfs_ifork::if_data
buffer.  if_bytes can be smaller than the data fork size because:

(a) the forkoff code tries to keep the data area as large as possible
(b) for symbolic links, if_bytes is the ondisk file size + 1
(c) forkoff is always a multiple of 8.

Case in point: for a single-byte symlink target, forkoff will be
8 but the buffer will only be 2 bytes long.

In other words, the logic here is wrong and we walk off the end of the
incore buffer.  Fix that.

Correct RGMII delay application logic in lan937x_set_tune_adj().

The function was missing `data16 &= ~PORT_TUNE_ADJ` before setting the
new delay value. This caused the new value to be bitwise-OR'd with the
existing PORT_TUNE_ADJ field instead of replacing it.

For example, when setting the RGMII 2 TX delay on port 4, the
intended TUNE_ADJUST value of 0 (RGMII_2_TX_DELAY_2NS) was
incorrectly OR'd with the default 0x1B (from register value 0xDA3),
leaving the delay at the wrong setting.

This patch adds the missing mask to clear the field, ensuring the
correct delay value is written. Physical measurements on the RGMII TX
lines confirm the fix, showing the delay changing from ~1ns (before
change) to ~2ns.

While testing on i.MX 8MP showed this was within the platform's timing
tolerance, it did not match the intended hardware-characterized value.

The L2TP stack did not reset the skb control buffer before sending the
encapsulated package.

In a setup with an ath10k radio and batman-adv over an L2TP tunnel
massive fragmentations happen sporadically if the L2TP tunnel is
established over IPv4.

L2TP might reset some of the fields in the IP control buffer, but L2TP
assumes the type of the control buffer to be of an IPv4 packet.

In case the L2TP interface is used as a batadv hardif or the packet is
an IPv6 packet, this assumption breaks.

Clear the entire control buffer to avoid such mishaps altogether.

Commit cf3fc03 ("ata: libata-scsi: Fix ata_to_sense_error() status
handling") fixed ata_to_sense_error() to properly generate sense key
ABORTED COMMAND (without any additional sense code), instead of the
previous bogus sense key ILLEGAL REQUEST with the additional sense code
UNALIGNED WRITE COMMAND, for a failed command.

However, this broke suspend for Security locked drives (drives that have
Security enabled, and have not been Security unlocked by boot firmware).

The reason for this is that the SCSI disk driver, for the Synchronize
Cache command only, treats any sense data with sense key ILLEGAL REQUEST
as a successful command (regardless of ASC / ASCQ).

After commit cf3fc03 ("ata: libata-scsi: Fix ata_to_sense_error()
status handling") the code that treats any sense data with sense key
ILLEGAL REQUEST as a successful command is no longer applicable, so the
command fails, which causes the system suspend to be aborted:

  sd 1:0:0:0: PM: dpm_run_callback(): scsi_bus_suspend returns -5
  sd 1:0:0:0: PM: failed to suspend async: error -5
  PM: Some devices failed to suspend, or early wake event detected

To make suspend work once again, for a Security locked device only,
return sense data LOGICAL UNIT ACCESS NOT AUTHORIZED, the actual sense
data which a real SCSI device would have returned if locked.
The SCSI disk driver treats this sense data as a successful command.

During connect(), acting on a signal/timeout by disconnecting an already
established socket leads to several issues:

1. connect() invoking vsock_transport_cancel_pkt() ->
   virtio_transport_purge_skbs() may race with sendmsg() invoking
   virtio_transport_get_credit(). This results in a permanently elevated
   `vvs->bytes_unsent`. Which, in turn, confuses the SOCK_LINGER handling.

2. connect() resetting a connected socket's state may race with socket
   being placed in a sockmap. A disconnected socket remaining in a sockmap
   breaks sockmap's assumptions. And gives rise to WARNs.

3. connect() transitioning SS_CONNECTED -> SS_UNCONNECTED allows for a
   transport change/drop after TCP_ESTABLISHED. Which poses a problem for
   any simultaneous sendmsg() or connect() and may result in a
   use-after-free/null-ptr-deref.

Do not disconnect socket on signal/timeout. Keep the logic for unconnected
sockets: they don't linger, can't be placed in a sockmap, are rejected by
sendmsg().

If kobject_create_and_add() or sysfs_create_group() fails during loop

child kobjects are leaked.

Fix this by adding proper error handling with goto labels to ensure all

NIP [c00000000028fa58] scx_enable.constprop.0+0x358/0x12b0

kthread_run_worker() returns an ERR_PTR() on failure rather than NULL,
but the current code in scx_alloc_and_add_sched() only checks for a NULL
helper. Incase of failure on SIGQUIT, the error is not handled in
scx_alloc_and_add_sched() and scx_enable() ends up dereferencing an
error pointer.

Error handling is fixed in scx_alloc_and_add_sched() to propagate
PTR_ERR() into ret, so that scx_enable() jumps to the existing error
path, avoiding random dereference on failure.

An empty flush bio can have arbitrary bi_sector. The commit 2b1c6d7
introduced a regression that device mapper would fail an empty flush bio
with -EIO if the sector pointed beyond the end of the device.

The commit introduced an optimization, that optimization would pass
flushes to __split_and_process_bio and __split_and_process_bio is not
prepared to handle empty bios. Fix this bug by passing only non-empty
flushes to __split_and_process_bio - non-empty flushes must have valid
bi_sector. Empty bios will go through __send_empty_flush, as they did
before the optimization.

This problem can be reproduced by running the lvm2 test:
make check_local T=lvconvert-thin.sh LVM_TEST_PREFER_BRD=0

Before Linux had cred structures, the SELinux task_security_struct was
per-task and although the structure was switched to being per-cred
long ago, the name was never updated. This change renames it to
cred_security_struct to avoid confusion and pave the way for the
introduction of an actual per-task security structure for SELinux. No
functional change.

Along with the renaming from task_security_struct to cred_security_struct,
rename the local variables to "crsec" from "tsec".  This both fits with
existing conventions and helps distinguish between task and cred related
variables.

When performing reset tests and encountering abnormal card drop issues
that lead to a kernel crash, it is necessary to perform a null check
before releasing resources to avoid attempting to release a null pointer.

Stack mapping entropy is currently hard-wired to 11 bits of entropy on
32-bit and 18 bits of entropy on 64-bit. The stack itself gains an extra
8 bits of entropy from lower bit randomization within 16 byte alignment
constraints. The argument block could have all lower bits randomized but
it currently only gets the mapping randomization.

Rather than hard-wiring values this switches to using the mmap entropy
configuration like the mmap base and executable base, resulting in a
range of 8 to 16 bits on 32-bit and 18 to 24 bits on 64-bit (with 4k
pages and 3 level page tables) depending on kernel configuration and
overridable via the sysctl entries.

It's worth noting that since these kernel configuration options default
to the minimum supported entropy value, the entropy on 32-bit will drop
from 11 to 8 bits for builds using the defaults. However, following the
configuration seems like the right thing to do regardless. At the very
least, changing the defaults for COMPAT (32-bit processes on 64-bit)
should be considered due to the larger address space compared to real
32-bit.

Previously we would read randomize_va_space in openpax_setup_flags,
and then again later after calling openpax_setup_flags.

As randomize_va_space is a sysctl, its value can change at any time.
Accordingly, snapshot randomize_va_space before calling
openpax_set_flags and pass the snapshot value to openpax_set_flags.

This resolves a minor race condition where one may be able to slightly
weaken process ASLR by turning ASLR on or off during an exec call.
