ACPI: sysfs: Fix path of module parameters in comments

2026-06-19T18:19:11+00:00

The correct path of module parameters should be /sys/module/acpi/parameters/xxx. Fix them. Signed-off-by: Zenghui Yu Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260611142518.77343-1-zenghui.yu@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

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

2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\

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: sysfs: Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit()

2026-01-27T20:58:58+00:00

Replace all sprintf() calls with sysfs_emit() in sysfs show functions. sysfs_emit() is preferred to sprintf() for formatting sysfs output as it provides better bounds checking and prevents potential buffer overflows.

sysfs: treewide: switch back to bin_attribute::read()/write()

2025-06-17T08:44:13+00:00

The bin_attribute argument of bin_attribute::read() is now const. This makes the _new() callbacks unnecessary. Switch all users back.

ACPI: sysfs: Constify 'struct bin_attribute'

2024-12-10T18:34:41+00:00

The sysfs core now allows instances of 'struct bin_attribute' to be moved into read-only memory. Make use of that to protect them against accidental or malicious modifications.

ACPI: sysfs: Enable ACPI sysfs support for CCEL records

2023-03-27T18:43:58+00:00

The Confidential Computing Event Log (CCEL) table provides the address and length of the CCEL records area in UEFI reserved memory. To allow user space access to these records, expose a sysfs interface similar to the BERT table. More details about the CCEL table can be found in the ACPI specification r6.5 [1], sec 5.2.34.

ACPI: make kobj_type structures constant

2023-02-14T14:52:37+00:00

Since commit ee6d3dd4ed48 ("driver core: make kobj_type constant.") the driver core allows the usage of const struct kobj_type. Take advantage of this to constify the structure definitions to prevent modification at runtime. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPI: sysfs: use sysfs_emit() to instead of scnprintf()

Replace scnprintf() with sysfs_emit() to simplify the code. Reported-by: Zeal Robot Signed-off-by: Xu Panda Signed-off-by: Yang Yang Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPI: sysfs: Use kstrtobool() instead of strtobool()

2022-11-03T18:46:54+00:00

strtobool() is the same as kstrtobool(). However, the latter is more used within the kernel. In order to remove strtobool() and slightly simplify kstrtox.h, switch to the other function name. While at it, include the corresponding header file () Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET Reviewed-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki
