KVM: PPC: remove hugetlb.h inclusion

2026-04-05T20:53:23+00:00

hugetlb.h is no longer required now that we moved vma_kernel_pagesize() to mm.h.

KVM: PPC: e500: Rip out "struct tlbe_ref"

2026-03-11T17:41:10+00:00

Complete the ~13 year journey started by commit 47bf379742bf ("kvm/ppc/e500: eliminate tlb_refs"), and actually remove "struct tlbe_ref". No functional change intended (verified disassembly of e500_mmu.o and e500_mmu_host.o is identical before and after).

KVM: PPC: e500: Fix build error due to using kmalloc_obj() with wrong type

2026-03-11T17:41:10+00:00

Fix a build error in kvmppc_e500_tlb_init() that was introduced by the conversion to use kzalloc_objs(), as KVM confusingly uses the size of the structure that is one and only field in tlbe_priv: arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu.c:923:33: error: assignment to 'struct tlbe_priv *' from incompatible pointer type 'struct tlbe_ref *' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types] 923 | vcpu_e500->gtlb_priv[0] = kzalloc_objs(struct tlbe_ref, | ^ KVM has been flawed since commit 0164c0f0c404 ("KVM: PPC: e500: clear up confusion between host and guest entries"), but the issue went unnoticed until kmalloc_obj() came along and enforced types, as "struct tlbe_priv" was just a wrapper of "struct tlbe_ref" (why on earth the two ever existed separately...).

Merge tag 'kvm-x86-generic-7.0-rc3' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD

2026-03-11T17:01:55+00:00

KVM generic changes for 7.0 - Remove a subtle pseudo-overlay of kvm_stats_desc, which, aside from being unnecessary and confusing, triggered compiler warnings due to -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end. - Document that vcpu->mutex is take outside of kvm->slots_lock and kvm->slots_arch_lock, which is intentional and desirable despite being rather unintuitive.

KVM: always define KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU

2026-02-28T14:31:35+00:00

KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU is provided by KVM's MMU notifiers, which are now always available. Move the definition from individual architectures to common code. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: remove CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_MMU_NOTIFIER

2026-02-28T14:31:35+00:00

All architectures now use MMU notifier for KVM page table management. Remove the Kconfig symbol and the code that is used when it is disabled. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook
