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

ACPI: processor: perflib: Move problematic pr->performance check

2025-08-12T13:33:58+00:00

Commit d33bd88ac0eb ("ACPI: processor: perflib: Fix initial _PPC limit application") added a pr->performance check that prevents the frequency QoS request from being added when the given processor has no performance object. Unfortunately, this causes a WARN() in freq_qos_remove_request() to trigger on an attempt to take the given CPU offline later because the frequency QoS object has not been added for it due to the missing performance object. Address this by moving the pr->performance check before calling acpi_processor_get_platform_limit() so it only prevents a limit from being set for the CPU if the performance object is not present. This way, the frequency QoS request is added as it was before the above commit and it is present all the time along with the CPU's cpufreq policy regardless of whether or not the CPU is online.

ACPI: processor: perflib: Fix initial _PPC limit application

2025-07-21T13:21:48+00:00

If the BIOS sets a _PPC frequency limit upfront, it will fail to take effect due to a call ordering issue. Namely, freq_qos_update_request() is called before freq_qos_add_request() for the given request causing the constraint update to be ignored. The call sequence in question is as follows: cpufreq_policy_online() acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init() acpi_processor_register_performance() acpi_processor_get_performance_info() acpi_processor_get_platform_limit() freq_qos_update_request(&perflib_req) <- inactive QoS request blocking_notifier_call_chain(&cpufreq_policy_notifier_list, CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY) acpi_processor_notifier() acpi_processor_ppc_init() freq_qos_add_request(&perflib_req) <- QoS request activation Address this by adding an acpi_processor_get_platform_limit() call to acpi_processor_ppc_init(), after the perflib_req activation via freq_qos_add_request(), which causes the initial _PPC limit to be picked up as appropriate. However, also ensure that the _PPC limit will not be picked up in the cases when the cpufreq driver does not call acpi_processor_register_performance() by adding a pr->performance check to the related_cpus loop in acpi_processor_ppc_init().

ACPI: processor_perflib: extend X86 dependency

2024-11-05T20:40:22+00:00

The majority of the processor_perflib code is only used by cpufreq drivers on the x86 architecture and makes no sense without the x86 SMI interactions that rely on I/O port access. Replace the existing #ifdef checks with one that covers all of the code that is only used by x86 drivers, saving a little bit of kernel code size on other architectures. There is likely more code under CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR that falls into this category, but changing those would require a larger rework. Suggested-by: Rafael J.

ACPI: processor: perflib: Avoid updating frequency QoS unnecessarily

2022-12-30T18:10:02+00:00

Modify acpi_processor_get_platform_limit() to avoid updating its frequency QoS request when the _PPC return value has not changed by comparing that value to the previous _PPC return value stored in the performance_platform_limit field of the struct acpi_processor corresponding to the given CPU. While at it, do the _PPC return value check against the state count earlier, to avoid setting performance_platform_limit to an invalid value, and make acpi_processor_ppc_init() use FREQ_QOS_MAX_DEFAULT_VALUE as the "no limit" frequency QoS for consistency.

ACPI: processor: perflib: Use the "no limit" frequency QoS

2022-12-30T18:10:02+00:00

When _PPC returns 0, it means that the CPU frequency is not limited by the platform firmware, so make acpi_processor_get_platform_limit() update the frequency QoS request used by it to "no limit" in that case. This addresses a problem with limiting CPU frequency artificially on some systems after CPU offline/online to the frequency that corresponds to the first entry in the _PSS return package.
