Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

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

x86/msr: Add explicit includes of

For historic reasons there are some TSC-related functions in the header, even though there's an header. To facilitate the relocation of rdtsc{,_ordered}() from to and to eventually eliminate the inclusion of in , add an explicit dependency to the source files that reference definitions from .

x86/fred: Fix system hang during S4 resume with FRED enabled

2025-04-01T20:29:02+00:00

Upon a wakeup from S4, the restore kernel starts and initializes the FRED MSRs as needed from its perspective. It then loads a hibernation image, including the image kernel, and attempts to load image pages directly into their original page frames used before hibernation unless those frames are currently in use. Once all pages are moved to their original locations, it jumps to a "trampoline" page in the image kernel. At this point, the image kernel takes control, but the FRED MSRs still contain values set by the restore kernel, which may differ from those set by the image kernel before hibernation. Therefore, the image kernel must ensure the FRED MSRs have the same values as before hibernation. Since these values depend only on the location of the kernel text and data, they can be recomputed from scratch.

x86/topology: Remove CPU0 hotplug option

2023-05-15T11:44:49+00:00

This was introduced together with commit e1c467e69040 ("x86, hotplug: Wake up CPU0 via NMI instead of INIT, SIPI, SIPI") to eventually support physical hotplug of CPU0: "We'll change this code in the future to wake up hard offlined CPU0 if real platform and request are available." 11 years later this has not happened and physical hotplug is not officially supported. Remove the cruft.

Pull x86 cpu updates from Borislav Petkov: - Split MTRR and PAT init code to accomodate at least Xen PV and TDX guests which do not get MTRRs exposed but only PAT. (TDX guests do not support the cache disabling dance when setting up MTRRs so they fall under the same category) This is a cleanup work to remove all the ugly workarounds for such guests and init things separately (Juergen Gross) - Add two new Intel CPUs to the list of CPUs with "normal" Energy Performance Bias, leading to power savings - Do not do bus master arbitration in C3 (ARB_DISABLE) on modern Centaur CPUs * tag 'x86_cpu_for_v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (26 commits) x86/mtrr: Make message for disabled MTRRs more descriptive x86/pat: Handle TDX guest PAT initialization x86/cpuid: Carve out all CPUID functionality x86/cpu: Switch to cpu_feature_enabled() for X86_FEATURE_XENPV x86/cpu: Remove X86_FEATURE_XENPV usage in setup_cpu_entry_area() x86/cpu: Drop 32-bit Xen PV guest code in update_task_stack() x86/cpu: Remove unneeded 64-bit dependency in arch_enter_from_user_mode() x86/cpufeatures: Add X86_FEATURE_XENPV to disabled-features.h x86/acpi/cstate: Optimize ARB_DISABLE on Centaur CPUs x86/mtrr: Simplify mtrr_ops initialization x86/cacheinfo: Switch cache_ap_init() to hotplug callback x86: Decouple PAT and MTRR handling x86/mtrr: Add a stop_machine() handler calling only cache_cpu_init() x86/mtrr: Let cache_aps_delayed_init replace mtrr_aps_delayed_init x86/mtrr: Get rid of __mtrr_enabled bool x86/mtrr: Simplify mtrr_bp_init() x86/mtrr: Remove set_all callback from struct mtrr_ops x86/mtrr: Disentangle MTRR init from PAT init x86/mtrr: Move cache control code to cacheinfo.c x86/mtrr: Split MTRR-specific handling from cache dis/enabling ...
