commit 4e60131d0d36af65ab9c9144f4f163fe97ae36e8 upstream. hpet_compat_ioctl and read file operations failed to handle parameters from 32-bit userspace and thus samples/timers/hpet_example.c fails as below. root@intel-x86-64:~# ./hpet_example-32.out poll /dev/hpet 1 2 -hpet: executing poll hpet_poll: HPET_IRQFREQ failed This patch fixes cmd and arg handling in hpet_compat_ioctl and adds compat handling for 32-bit userspace in hpet_read. hpet_example now shows that it works for both 64-bit and 32-bit. root@intel-x86-64:~# ./hpet_example-32.out poll /dev/hpet 1 2 -hpet: executing poll hpet_poll: info.hi_flags 0x0 hpet_poll: expired time = 0xf4298 hpet_poll: revents = 0x1 hpet_poll: data 0x1 hpet_poll: expired time = 0xf4235 hpet_poll: revents = 0x1 hpet_poll: data 0x1 root@intel-x86-64:~# ./hpet_example-64.out poll /dev/hpet 1 2 -hpet: executing poll hpet_poll: info.hi_flags 0x0 hpet_poll: expired time = 0xf42a1 hpet_poll: revents = 0x1 hpet_poll: data 0x1 hpet_poll: expired time = 0xf4232 hpet_poll: revents = 0x1 hpet_poll: data 0x1 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: He Zhe <zhe.he@windriver.com> Fixes: 54066a57c584 ("hpet: kill BKL, add compat_ioctl") Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240606123908.738733-1-zhe.he@windriver.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
