[ Upstream commit271208ee5e] Using memcpy() isn't safe when buf is identical to rtas_err_buf, which can happen during boot before slab is up. Full context which may not be obvious from the diff: if (altbuf) { buf = altbuf; } else { buf = rtas_err_buf; if (slab_is_available()) buf = kmalloc(RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX, GFP_ATOMIC); } if (buf) memcpy(buf, rtas_err_buf, RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX); This was found by inspection and I'm not aware of it causing problems in practice. It appears to have been introduced by commit033ef338b6("powerpc: Merge rtas.c into arch/powerpc/kernel"); the old ppc64 version of this code did not have this problem. Use memmove() instead.

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.
