CVE-2026-90348
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath10k: snoc: use memcpy_fromio() for MSA ramdump
On WCN3990/SNOC the MSA region is mapped with devm_memremap(MEMREMAP_WT). On arm64 such a mapping is not Normal-cacheable, so unaligned accesses to it are not permitted. ath10k_msa_dump_memory() copies the region with a plain memcpy(), whose optimized __pi_memcpy_generic implementation issues wide/unaligned loads. This triggers an alignment fault (FSC=0x21) Oops in ath10k_snoc_fw_crashed_dump() while collecting the devcoredump:
Unable to handle kernel paging request ... FSC=0x21: alignment fault pc : __pi_memcpy_generic lr : ath10k_snoc_fw_crashed_dump [ath10k_snoc]
The Oops both leaves the firmware RAM dump buffer zeroed (no dump is captured) and crashes the kernel, which in turn breaks modem SSR recovery.
Use memcpy_fromio(), which only performs accesses that are valid for such a device-memory mapping. The generic memcpy_fromio() implementation aligns the source before issuing word-sized reads and stores the destination with put_unaligned(), so it is also safe for the coherent DMA allocation used on the non-reserved-memory path. ath11k and ath12k use the same pattern when copying target memory into crash dumps, so call it unconditionally here too. The MEMREMAP_WT pointer is a plain void *, so an explicit __iomem cast is needed; use __force to keep sparse happy.
