This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled KEYS: trusted: Remove redundant static calls usage to the 5.15-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: keys-trusted-remove-redundant-static-calls-usage.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f43ea73a001e725413df02b2414170748291a03b Author: Sumit Garg <sumit.garg@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Oct 6 10:48:01 2023 +0530 KEYS: trusted: Remove redundant static calls usage [ Upstream commit 01bbafc63b65689cb179ca537971286bc27f3b74 ] Static calls invocations aren't well supported from module __init and __exit functions. Especially the static call from cleanup_trusted() led to a crash on x86 kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y. However, the usage of static call invocations for trusted_key_init() and trusted_key_exit() don't add any value from either a performance or security perspective. Hence switch to use indirect function calls instead. Note here that although it will fix the current crash report, ultimately the static call infrastructure should be fixed to either support its future usage from module __init and __exit functions or not.
