Pull ACPI support updates from Rafael Wysocki: "These include an update of the CMOS RTC driver and the related ACPI and x86 code that, among other things, switches it over to using the platform device interface for device binding on x86 instead of the PNP device driver interface (which allows the code in question to be simplified quite a bit), a major update of the ACPI Time and Alarm Device (TAD) driver adding an RTC class device interface to it, and updates of core ACPI drivers that remove some unnecessary and not really useful code from them. Apart from that, two drivers are converted to using the platform driver interface for device binding instead of the ACPI driver one, which is slated for removal, support for the Performance Limited register is added to the ACPI CPPC library and there are some janitorial updates of it and the related cpufreq CPPC driver, the ACPI processor driver is fixed and cleaned up, and NVIDIA vendor CPER record handler is added to the APEI GHES code. Also, the interface for obtaining a CPU UID from ACPI is consolidated across architectures and used for fixing a problem with the PCI TPH Steering Tag on ARM64, there are two updates related to ACPICA, a minor ACPI OS Services Layer (OSL) update, and a few assorted updates related to ACPI tables parsing.

driver core: auxiliary bus: Drop auxiliary_dev_pm_ops

2026-03-27T10:58:49+00:00

Since the PM core automatically falls back to using the driver PM callbacks directly if no bus type callbacks are present, it is not necessary to define a struct dev_pm_ops for a bus type that will only invoke driver PM callbacks from its PM callbacks. Accordingly, auxiliary_dev_pm_ops is redundant, so drop it. No intentional functional impact. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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

driver core: auxiliary bus: Optimize logic of auxiliary_match_id()

2025-09-06T18:12:36+00:00

auxiliary_match_id() repeatedly calculates variable @match_size in the for loop, however, the variable is fixed actually, so it is enough to only calculate the variable once. Besides, the function should return directly if name of the @auxdev does not include '.', but it still iterates over the ID table. Additionally, statement 'dev_name(&auxdev->dev)' is fixed, but may be evaluated more than 3 times. Optimize logic of the function by: - Move the logic calculating the variable out of the for loop - Return NULL directly if @p == NULL - Give the statement an dedicated local variable @auxdev_name Signed-off-by: Zijun Hu Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250903-fix_auxbus-v2-1-3eae8374fd65@oss.qualcomm.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: auxiliary bus: Drop dev_pm_domain_detach() call

2025-09-06T17:52:33+00:00

Starting with commit f99508074e78 ("PM: domains: Detach on device_unbind_cleanup()"), there is no longer a need to call dev_pm_domain_detach() in the bus remove function. The device_unbind_cleanup() function now handles this to avoid invoking devres cleanup handlers while the PM domain is powered off, which could otherwise lead to failures as described in the above-mentioned commit. Drop the explicit dev_pm_domain_detach() call and rely instead on the flags passed to dev_pm_domain_attach() to power off the domain.

PM: domains: Add flags to specify power on attach/detach

2025-07-07T18:41:20+00:00

Calling dev_pm_domain_attach()/dev_pm_domain_detach() in bus driver probe/remove functions can affect system behavior when the drivers attached to the bus use devres-managed resources. Since devres actions may need to access device registers, calling dev_pm_domain_detach() too early, i.e., before these actions complete, can cause failures on some systems. One such example is Renesas RZ/G3S SoC-based platforms. If the device clocks are managed via PM domains, invoking dev_pm_domain_detach() in the bus driver's remove function removes the device's clocks from the PM domain, preventing any subsequent pm_runtime_resume*() calls from enabling those clocks. The second argument of dev_pm_domain_attach() specifies whether the PM domain should be powered on during attachment. Likewise, the second argument of dev_pm_domain_detach() indicates whether the domain should be powered off during detachment. Upcoming changes address the issue described above (initially for the platform bus only) by deferring the call to dev_pm_domain_detach() until after devres_release_all() in device_unbind_cleanup(). The detach_power_off field in struct dev_pm_info stores the detach power off info from the second argument of dev_pm_domain_attach(). Because there are cases where the device's PM domain power-on/off behavior must be conditional (e.g., in i2c_device_probe()), the patch introduces PD_FLAG_ATTACH_POWER_ON and PD_FLAG_DETACH_POWER_OFF flags to be passed to dev_pm_domain_attach(). Finally, dev_pm_domain_attach() and its users are updated to use the newly introduced PD_FLAG_ATTACH_POWER_ON and PD_FLAG_DETACH_POWER_OFF macros. This change is preparatory.
