commit 59387683 upstream. struct clocksource is also used by the clk notifier callback, to unregister and re-register the clocksource with a different clock rate. clocksource_mmio_init does not pass back a pointer to the struct used, and the clk notifier callback assumes that the struct clocksource in struct sun5i_timer_clksrc is valid. This results in a kernel NULL pointer dereference when the hstimer clock is changed: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004 [<c03a4678>] (clocksource_unbind) from [<c03a46d4>] (clocksource_unregister+0x2c/0x44) [<c03a46d4>] (clocksource_unregister) from [<c0a6f350>] (sun5i_rate_cb_clksrc+0x34/0x3c) [<c0a6f350>] (sun5i_rate_cb_clksrc) from [<c035ea50>] (notifier_call_chain+0x44/0x84) [<c035ea50>] (notifier_call_chain) from [<c035edc0>] (__srcu_notifier_call_chain+0x44/0x60) [<c035edc0>] (__srcu_notifier_call_chain) from [<c035edf4>] (srcu_notifier_call_chain+0x18/0x20) [<c035edf4>] (srcu_notifier_call_chain) from [<c0670174>] (__clk_notify+0x70/0x7c) [<c0670174>] (__clk_notify) from [<c06702c0>] (clk_propagate_rate_change+0xa4/0xc4) [<c06702c0>] (clk_propagate_rate_change) from [<c0670288>] (clk_propagate_rate_change+0x6c/0xc4) Revert the commit for now. clocksource_mmio_init can be made to pass back a pointer, but the code churn and usage of an inner struct might not be worth it.
