This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled arm64: kexec: load from kimage prior to clobbering to the 5.17-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: arm64-kexec-load-from-kimage-prior-to-clobbering.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.17 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 94f293dc2cfe4939d3588589de8bf15441c778d0 Author: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon May 16 17:07:35 2022 +0100 arm64: kexec: load from kimage prior to clobbering [ Upstream commit eb3d8ea3e1f03f4b0b72d8f5ed9eb7c3165862e8 ] In arm64_relocate_new_kernel() we load some fields out of the kimage structure after relocation has occurred. As the kimage structure isn't allocated to be relocation-safe, it may be clobbered during relocation, and we may load junk values out of the structure. Due to this, kexec may fail when the kimage allocation happens to fall within a PA range that an object will be relocated to. This has been observed to occur for regular kexec on a QEMU TCG 'virt' machine with 2GiB of RAM, where the PA range of the new kernel image overlaps the kimage structure. Avoid this by ensuring we load all values from the kimage structure prior to relocation. I've tested this atop v5.16 and v5.18-rc6.
