cpufreq: imx6q: fix out-of-bounds write when probed more than once

2026-09-14T11:25:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8c3afcf27fa4582c1ab912503dc8a4ebb8dc0f82 ] imx6_soc_volt is allocated fresh on every probe, sized to the number of ARM OPPs: imx6_soc_volt = devm_kcalloc(cpu_dev, num, sizeof(*imx6_soc_volt), GFP_KERNEL); but it is filled through soc_opp_count, which has static storage and is never reset. A second bind after an unbind keeps indexing from where the first one stopped, and writes past the end of the new array. Unbinding and rebinding the driver on qemu's mcimx6ul-evk, under KASAN: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in imx6q_cpufreq_probe+0x3b0/0xa34 Write of size 4 at addr c5e90480 by task binder/73 imx6q_cpufreq_probe from platform_probe+0x88/0xe4 platform_probe from really_probe+0x108/0x384 bind_store from kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x1b4/0x28c The write lands one u32 past the end of the allocation. soc_opp_count is only read a few lines below the loop that fills it, so it never needed static storage.

cpufreq: imx6q: fix devres accumulation across driver rebind

2026-09-14T11:25:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 22c23c72c3b21fa3ec3db5070dfc0582794e0ef9 ] imx6_soc_volt is allocated with devm_kcalloc(cpu_dev, ...), where cpu_dev is the CPU device from get_cpu_device(0). That device is never unbound, so its devres list is never released, and imx6q_cpufreq_remove() does not free the array either. Every probe therefore adds an allocation that stays for the lifetime of the system. Allocate against the platform device instead. Its devres is released when the driver is unbound, which is exactly the lifetime the array wants: imx6q_set_target() reads it, and nothing may reach that after cpufreq_unregister_driver(). That makes the array actually go away on unbind, so also clear the file-scope pointer in remove and on the failed-probe path, rather than leave it pointing at memory devres is about to release. Tested by rebinding the driver on qemu's mcimx6ul-evk.

cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix setting minimum P-state at init time

2026-09-14T11:24:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit db53c573d31d07d5d782c5312d37cb33be788eba ] If HWP is enabled, writes to MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL have no effect, so intel_pstate_get_cpu_pstates() should not attempt to call intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to set the minimum P-state for the given CPU in that case. Accordingly, remove the intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() call from intel_pstate_get_cpu_pstates() and make both intel_pstate_cpu_init() and intel_cpufreq_cpu_init() call that function in their non-HWP code paths. The HWP code path in intel_pstate_cpu_init() does not need to update the current P-state of the CPU directly at all because it is taken care of the processor automatically, but the HWP code path of intel_cpufreq_cpu_init() should update it in principle to initialize the DESIRED_PERF field in MSR_HWP_REQUEST. For this purpose, make it call intel_cpufreq_hwp_update() and pass the minimum P-state limit to it as the current target value along with the current minimum and maximum limits.

cpufreq: conservative: Simplify frequency limit handling

2026-07-24T13:54:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3494dff89779b73a6c70481c982e0e96d336454a ] cs_dbs_update() performs explicit checks against policy->min/max before updating the target frequency. These checks are redundant as __cpufreq_driver_target() already clamps the requested frequency to the valid policy limits. Remove the unnecessary boundary checks and simplify the update logic. This also fixes an issue introduced by commit 00bfe05889e9 ("cpufreq: conservative: Decrease frequency faster for deferred updates"), where stale target comparisons could cause frequency updates to be skipped entirely after deferred adjustments.

cpufreq: pcc: fix use-after-free and double free in _OSC evaluation

2026-07-24T13:54:24+00:00

commit 266d3dd8b757b48a576e90f018b51f7b7563cc32 upstream. pcc_cpufreq_do_osc() calls acpi_evaluate_object() twice for the two-phase _OSC negotiation. Between the two calls it freed output.pointer but left output.length unchanged. Since acpi_evaluate_object() treats a non-zero length with a non-NULL pointer as an existing buffer to write into, the second call wrote into freed memory (use-after-free). The subsequent kfree(output.pointer) at out_free then freed the same pointer a second time (double free). Reset output.pointer to NULL and output.length to ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER after freeing the first result, so ACPICA allocates a fresh buffer for each phase independently.

cpufreq: Fix hotplug-suspend race during reboot

2026-07-24T13:54:24+00:00

commit a9029dd55696c651ee46912afa2a166fa456bb3e upstream. During system reboot, cpufreq_suspend() is called via the kernel_restart() -> device_shutdown() path. Unlike the normal system suspend path, the reboot path does not call freeze_processes(), so userspace processes and kernel threads remain active. This allows CPU hotplug operations to run concurrently with cpufreq_suspend(). The original code has no synchronization with CPU hotplug, leading to a race condition where governor_data can be freed by the hotplug path while cpufreq_suspend() is still accessing it, resulting in a null pointer dereference: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference Call Trace: do_kernel_fault+0x28/0x3c cpufreq_suspend+0xdc/0x160 device_shutdown+0x18/0x200 kernel_restart+0x40/0x80 arm64_sys_reboot+0x1b0/0x200 Fix this by adding cpus_read_lock()/cpus_read_unlock() to cpufreq_suspend() to block CPU hotplug operations while suspend is in progress.

cpufreq: intel_pstate: Sync policy->cur during CPU offline

2026-07-24T13:54:24+00:00

commit bcbdaa1086c25a8a5d48e04e1b82fdfb0682b681 upstream. When a CPU goes offline with HWP disabled, intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() sets the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL to minimum frequency to prevent SMT siblings from being restricted. However, the policy->cur value was not updated, leaving it at the previous value. When the CPU comes back online, governor->limits() checks if target_freq equals policy->cur and skips the frequency adjustment if they match. Since policy->cur still holds the previous value, the governor does not call cpufreq_driver->target to update MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL. Fix this by synchronizing policy->cur with the hardware state when setting minimum pstate during CPU offline.

cpufreq: governor: fix double free in cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() error path

2026-04-11T12:16:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6dcf9d0064ce2f3e3dfe5755f98b93abe6a98e1e ] When kobject_init_and_add() fails, cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() calls kobject_put(&dbs_data->attr_set.kobj). The kobject release callback cpufreq_dbs_data_release() calls gov->exit(dbs_data) and kfree(dbs_data), but the current error path then calls gov->exit(dbs_data) and kfree(dbs_data) again, causing a double free. Keep the direct kfree(dbs_data) for the gov->init() failure path, but after kobject_init_and_add() has been called, let kobject_put() handle the cleanup through cpufreq_dbs_data_release().
