Subject: [PATCH v5] ARM: imx: Fix suspend/resume crash with Clang CFI
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 17:51:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260830155100.1020620-1-linux@yoavmoshe.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827194508.446733-1-linux@yoavmoshe.com>
The suspend code that runs from OCRAM is copied there with fncpy(),
which does not copy the kCFI type hash preceding the function. With
CONFIG_CFI=y the indirect call through imx6_suspend_in_ocram_fn
therefore panics.
Keep the call covered by CFI instead of exempting it:
- Add SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START_ALIGNED(), a variant of
SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() that aligns the function entry rather than
the type hash preceding it, and use it to declare imx6_suspend():
fncpy() requires the entry point of the function it copies to be
8-byte aligned. The macro lives in arch/arm/include/asm/linkage.h
since the requirement comes from arm's fncpy().
- Add a cfi_type member at the end of struct imx6_cpu_pm_info, which
directly precedes the OCRAM copy of the function. It fits in the
struct's tail padding, so no sizes or offsets change. Fill it using
cfi_get_func_hash(), putting the hash where the caller's CFI check
expects it: four bytes before the function entry.
Also mark ccm_base, suspend_ocram_base and imx6_suspend_in_ocram_fn
as __ro_after_init: they are only written during __init, and the
function pointer in particular should not be writable afterwards.

Tested on a Kobo Clara HD (i.MX6SLL) running postmarketOS
(clang/LLVM, CONFIG_CFI=y): suspend and resume work.
Note that with CONFIG_CFI=y this depends on commit 979c294509f9
("cfi: Include uaccess.h for get_kernel_nofault()"), already in
mainline, which stable backports would need as well.
Changes in v5:
- Drop the linux/uaccess.h include workaround, obsoleted by commit
979c294509f9 (Nick, Sami).
- Include linux/build_bug.h and linux/stddef.h for static_assert()
and offsetofend() (Nick).
- Replace the open-coded alignment pad with a new
SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START_ALIGNED() macro as sketched by Nick, placed in
arch/arm/include/asm/linkage.h as suggested by Sami.
Changes in v4:
- Drop the v3 __nocfi wrapper; keep the indirect call CFI-checked.
- Store the hash in a cfi_type member in the struct's tail padding
instead of open-coded pointer arithmetic.
- Use cfi_get_func_hash() instead of reading the hash manually.
- Use SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START()/SYM_FUNC_END() instead of ENTRY()/
ENDPROC() with a hand-rolled __CFI_TYPE.
