This issue seems to be related to the behavior of some gcc compilers and
was also fixed on the s390 architecture before:
commit d93a855c31b7 ("s390/ptrace: Avoid KASAN false positives in regs_get_kernel_stack_nth()")
As described in that commit, regs_get_kernel_stack_nth() has confirmed that
`addr` is on the stack, so reading the value at `*addr` should be allowed.
Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() helper to silence the KASAN check for this case.
[will: Use '*addr' as the argument to READ_ONCE_NOCHECK()]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: get rid of the crit lock
Get rid of the crit lock.
That frees us from the error prone logic of try_locks.
Thanks to netdev_lock() by Jakub it is now easy, and in most cases we were
protected by it already - replace crit lock by netdev lock when it was not
the case.
Lockdep reports that we should cancel the work under crit_lock [splat1],
and that was the scheme we have mostly followed since [1] by Slawomir.
But when that is done we still got into deadlocks [splat2]. So instead
we should look at the bigger problem, namely "weird locking/scheduling"
of the iavf. The first step to fix that is to remove the crit lock.
I will followup with a -next series that simplifies scheduling/tasks.
Cancel the work without netdev lock (weird unlock+lock scheme),
to fix the [splat2] (which would be totally ugly if we would kept
the crit lock).
Extend protected part of iavf_watchdog_task() to include scheduling
more work.
Note that the removed comment in iavf_reset_task() was misplaced,
it belonged to inside of the removed if condition, so it's gone now.
[splat1] - w/o this patch - The deadlock during VF removal:

which lock already depends on the new lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: core: fbcvt: avoid division by 0 in fb_cvt_hperiod()
In fb_find_mode_cvt(), iff mode->refresh somehow happens to be 0x80000000,
cvt.f_refresh will become 0 when multiplying it by 2 due to overflow. It's
then passed to fb_cvt_hperiod(), where it's used as a divider -- division
by 0 will result in kernel oops. Add a sanity check for cvt.f_refresh to
avoid such overflow...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: fsl-mc: fix double-free on mc_dev
The blamed commit tried to simplify how the deallocations are done but,
in the process, introduced a double-free on the mc_dev variable.
In case the MC device is a DPRC, a new mc_bus is allocated and the
mc_dev variable is just a reference to one of its fields. In this
circumstance, on the error path only the mc_bus should be freed.
This commit introduces back the following checkpatch warning which is a
false-positive.
WARNING: kfree(NULL) is safe and this check is probably not required
+ if (mc_bus)
+ kfree(mc_bus);

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio-pci: Fix result size returned for the admin command completion
The result size returned by virtio_pci_admin_dev_parts_get() is 8 bytes
larger than the actual result data size. This occurs because the
result_sg_size field of the command is filled with the result length
from virtqueue_get_buf(), which includes both the data size and an
additional 8 bytes of status.
This oversized result size causes two issues:
1. The state transferred to the destination includes 8 bytes of extra
data at the end.
2. The allocated buffer in the kernel may be smaller than the returned
size, leading to failures when reading beyond the allocated size.
The commit fixes this by subtracting the status size from the result of
virtqueue_get_buf().
This fix has been tested through live migrations with virtio-net,
virtio-net-transitional, and virtio-blk devices.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btintel: Check dsbr size from EFI variable
Since the size of struct btintel_dsbr is already known, we can just
start there instead of querying the EFI variable size. If the final
result doesn't match what we expect also fail. This fixes a stack buffer
overflow when the EFI variable is larger than struct btintel_dsbr.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7996: avoid NULL pointer dereference in mt7996_set_monitor()
The function mt7996_set_monitor() dereferences phy before
the NULL sanity check.
Fix this to avoid NULL pointer dereference by moving the
dereference after the check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: Fix buffer overflow in debugfs
If the user tries to write more than 32 bytes then it results in memory
corruption. Fortunately, this is debugfs so it's limited to root users.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/pp: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in atomctrl_initialize_mc_reg_table
The function atomctrl_initialize_mc_reg_table() and
atomctrl_initialize_mc_reg_table_v2_2() does not check the return
value of smu_atom_get_data_table(). If smu_atom_get_data_table()
fails to retrieve vram_info, it returns NULL which is later
dereferenced.
