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

syscore: Pass context data to callbacks

2025-11-14T09:01:52+00:00

Several drivers can benefit from registering per-instance data along with the syscore operations. To achieve this, move the modifiable fields out of the syscore_ops structure and into a separate struct syscore that can be registered with the framework. Add a void * driver data field for drivers to store contextual data that will be passed to the syscore ops. Acked-by: Rafael J. Wysocki (Intel) Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding

powerpc: Explicitly include correct DT includes

2023-08-02T12:22:19+00:00

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus. As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they "temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to explicitly include the correct includes.

powerpc/sysdev: Add __init attribute to eligible functions

2021-12-23T11:33:12+00:00

Some files functions in 'arch/powerpc/sysdev' are deserving of an `__init` macro attribute. These functions are only called by other initialization functions and therefore should inherit the attribute. Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.

powerpc/mpic_timer: avoid struct timeval

2018-01-21T04:06:16+00:00

In an effort to remove all instances of 'struct timeval' from the kernel, I'm changing the powerpc mpic_timer interface to use plain seconds instead. There is only one user of this interface, and that doesn't use the microseconds portion, so the code gets noticeably simpler in the process.

powerpc: Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name

2017-08-23T12:27:04+00:00

Now that we have a custom printf format specifier, convert users of full_name to use %pOF instead. This is preparation to remove storing of the full path string for each node.
