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

powerpc/pseries: HVPIPE changes to support migration

2025-09-15T08:08:40+00:00

The hypervisor assigns one pipe per partition for all sources and assigns new pipe after migration. Also the partition ID that is used by source as its target ID may be changed after the migration. So disable hvpipe during SUSPEND event with ‘hvpipe enable’ system parameter value = 0 and enable it after migration during RESUME event with hvpipe enable’ system parameter value = 1. The user space calls such as ioctl()/ read() / write() / poll() returns -ENXIO between SUSPEND and RESUME events. The user space process can close FD and reestablish connection with new FD after migration if needed (Example: source IDs are changed).

treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable

2025-01-28T12:48:37+00:00

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net, drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function. Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata. This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the proc_handlers. Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command: Spatch: virtual patch @ depends on !(file in "net") disable optional_qualifier @ identifier table_name != { watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, iwcm_ctl_table, ucma_ctl_table, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table }; @@ + const struct ctl_table table_name [] = { ... }; sed: sed --in-place \ -e "s/struct ctl_table .table = &uts_kern/const struct ctl_table *table = \&uts_kern/" \ kernel/utsname_sysctl.c Reviewed-by: Song Liu Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) # for kernel/trace/ Reviewed-by: Martin K.

powerpc: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table arrays

2023-10-10T22:22:02+00:00

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link : https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/) Remove sentinel from powersave_nap_ctl_table and nmi_wd_lpm_factor_ctl_table. This removal is safe because register_sysctl implicitly uses ARRAY_SIZE() in addition to checking for the sentinel. Signed-off-by: Joel Granados Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain

watchdog/hardlockup: rename some "NMI watchdog" constants/function

2023-06-10T00:44:20+00:00

Do a search and replace of: - NMI_WATCHDOG_ENABLED => WATCHDOG_HARDLOCKUP_ENABLED - SOFT_WATCHDOG_ENABLED => WATCHDOG_SOFTOCKUP_ENABLED - watchdog_nmi_ => watchdog_hardlockup_ - nmi_watchdog_available => watchdog_hardlockup_available - nmi_watchdog_user_enabled => watchdog_hardlockup_user_enabled - soft_watchdog_user_enabled => watchdog_softlockup_user_enabled - NMI_WATCHDOG_DEFAULT => WATCHDOG_HARDLOCKUP_DEFAULT Then update a few comments near where names were changed. This is specifically to make it less confusing when we want to introduce the buddy hardlockup detector, which isn't using NMIs. As part of this, we sanitized a few names for consistency.

driver core: class: mark the struct class for sysfs callbacks as constant

2023-03-29T05:54:58+00:00

struct class should never be modified in a sysfs callback as there is nothing in the structure to modify, and frankly, the structure is almost never used in a sysfs callback, so mark it as constant to allow struct class to be moved to read-only memory. While we are touching all class sysfs callbacks also mark the attribute as constant as it can not be modified. The bonding code still uses this structure so it can not be removed from the function callbacks. Cc: "David S. Miller" Cc: "Rafael J.
