+Subject: [PATCH 2/9] Avoid SIGBUS on mmap failure
+
+mmap will fail with SIGBUS if trying to map a non-existent portion of
+a file. While this should never happen with /dev/mem, it can happen if
+passing a regular file with option -d. While people should no longer
+do that, failure gracefully seems better than crashing. So check for
+the file size before calling mmap.
+
+This closes bug #46066:

+Subject: [PATCH 8/9] dmidecode: Use read_file() to read the DMI table from
+ sysfs
+
+We shouldn't use mem_chunk() to read the DMI table from sysfs. This
+will fail for SMBIOS v3 implementations which specify a maximum length
+for the table rather than its exact length. The kernel will trim the
+table to the actual length, so the DMI file will be shorter than the
+length announced in entry point.
+
+read_file() fits the bill in this case, as it deals with end of file
+nicely.
+
+This also helps with corrupted DMI tables, as the kernel will not
+export the part of the table that it wasn't able to parse, effectively
+trimming it.
+
+This fixes bug #46176:
+https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?46176
+Unexpected end of file error
