Title
platform/mellanox: mlxbf-pmc: add sysfs_attr_init() to count_clock init
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/mellanox: mlxbf-pmc: add sysfs_attr_init() to count_clock init The lock-related debug logic (CONFIG_LOCK_STAT) in the kernel is noting the following warning when the BlueField-3 SOC is booted: BUG: key ffff00008a3402a8 has not been registered! ------------[ cut here ]------------ DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(1) WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 592 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4801 lockdep_init_map_type+0x1d4/0x2a0 <snip> Call trace: lockdep_init_map_type+0x1d4/0x2a0 __kernfs_create_file+0x84/0x140 sysfs_add_file_mode_ns+0xcc/0x1cc internal_create_group+0x110/0x3d4 internal_create_groups.part.0+0x54/0xcc sysfs_create_groups+0x24/0x40 device_add+0x6e8/0x93c device_register+0x28/0x40 __hwmon_device_register+0x4b0/0x8a0 devm_hwmon_device_register_with_groups+0x7c/0xe0 mlxbf_pmc_probe+0x1e8/0x3e0 [mlxbf_pmc] platform_probe+0x70/0x110 The mlxbf_pmc driver must call sysfs_attr_init() during the initialization of the "count_clock" data structure to avoid this warning.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
