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: bus: change the prototype for acpi_get_physical_device_location

2024-12-19T19:59:35+00:00

It generally is not OK to use acpi_status and/or AE_ error codes without CONFIG_ACPI and they really only should be used in drivers/acpi/ (and not everywhere in there for that matter). So acpi_get_physical_device_location() needs to be redefined to return something different from acpi_status (preferably bool) in order to be used in !CONFIG_ACPI code. Suggested-by: Rafael J.

ACPI: utils: Add rev/func to message when acpi_evaluate_dsm() fails

2024-08-29T11:34:09+00:00

When acpi_evaluate_dsm() fails, the warning message lacks the rev and func information which is available and helpful. For example, iwlwifi would make _DSM queries for lari config, and when it fails, all warning messages are all the same: ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade (0x1001) With this change, the warnings would be more informative: ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade rev:0 func:1 (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade rev:0 func:6 (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade rev:0 func:7 (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade rev:0 func:8 (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade rev:0 func:3 (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade rev:0 func:9 (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade rev:0 func:10 (0x1001) ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM bf0212f2-788f-c64d-a5b3-1f738e285ade rev:0 func:12 (0x1001) Signed-off-by: David Wang <00107082@163.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240826233437.19632-1-00107082@163.com [ rjw: Subject and changelog edits ] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

ACPI: utils: introduce acpi_get_local_u64_address()

2024-06-10T11:48:09+00:00

The ACPI _ADR is a 64-bit value. We changed the definitions in commit ca6f998cf9a2 ("ACPI: bus: change _ADR representation to 64 bits") but some helpers still assume the value is a 32-bit value. This patch adds a new helper to extract the full 64-bits. The existing 32-bit helper is kept for backwards-compatibility and cases where the _ADR is known to fit in a 32-bit value.

ACPI: utils: Make acpi_handle_path() not static

2024-02-15T20:06:06+00:00

ACPI: utils: Introduce helper for _DEP list lookup

2023-12-19T17:25:00+00:00

The ACPI LPSS driver and the Surface platform driver code use almost the same code pattern for checking if one ACPI device is present in the list returned by _DEP for another ACPI device. To reduce the resulting code duplication, introduce a helper for that called acpi_device_dep() and invoke it from both places. No intentional functional impact. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

ACPI: utils: Refine acpi_handle_list_equal() slightly

2023-12-15T09:46:05+00:00

It is somewhat better to use the size of the first array element for computing the size of the entire array than to rely on the array element data type definition knowledge and the former is also consistent with the array allocation in acpi_evaluate_reference(), so modify the code accordingly. No intentional functional impact. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPI: utils: Return bool from acpi_evaluate_reference()

2023-12-15T09:46:04+00:00

There are only 4 users of acpi_evaluate_reference() and none of them actually cares about the reason why it fails. All of them are only interested in whether or not it is successful, so it can return a bool value indicating that. Modify acpi_evaluate_reference() as per the observation above and update its callers accordingly so as to get rid of useless code and local variables. The observable behavior of the kernel is not expected to change after this modification of the code. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPI: utils: Rearrange in acpi_evaluate_reference()

2023-12-15T09:46:04+00:00

The code in acpi_evaluate_reference() can be improved in some ways without changing its observable behavior. Among other things: * None of the local variables in that function except for buffer needs to be initialized. * The element local variable is only used in the for () loop block, so it can be defined there. * Multiple checks can be combined. * Code duplication related to error handling can be eliminated. * Redundant inner parens can be dropped. Modify the function as per the above. No intentional functional impact. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki
