Pull char / misc / IIO / and others driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the char/misc/iio and other smaller driver subsystem updates for 7.1-rc1. Lots of stuff in here, all tiny, but relevant for the different drivers they touch. Major points in here is: - the usual large set of new IIO drivers and updates for that subsystem (the large majority of this diffstat) - lots of comedi driver updates and bugfixes - coresight driver updates - interconnect driver updates and additions - mei driver updates - binder (both rust and C versions) updates and fixes - lots of other smaller driver subsystem updates and additions All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'char-misc-7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc: (405 commits) coresight: tpdm: fix invalid MMIO access issue mei: me: add nova lake point H DID mei: lb: add late binding version 2 mei: bus: add mei_cldev_uuid w1: ds2490: drop redundant device reference bus: mhi: host: pci_generic: Add Telit FE912C04 modem support mei: csc: wake device while reading firmware status mei: csc: support controller with separate PCI device mei: convert PCI error to common errno mei: trace: print return value of pci_cfg_read mei: me: move trace into firmware status read mei: fix idle print specifiers mei: me: use PCI_DEVICE_DATA macro sonypi: Convert ACPI driver to a platform one misc: apds990x: fix all kernel-doc warnings most: usb: Use kzalloc_objs for endpoint address array hpet: Convert ACPI driver to a platform one misc: vmw_vmci: Fix spelling mistakes in comments parport: Remove completed item from to-do list char: remove unnecessary module_init/exit functions ...

hpet: replace deprecated mmap hook with mmap_prepare

2026-04-05T20:53:43+00:00

The f_op->mmap interface is deprecated, so update driver to use its successor, mmap_prepare. The driver previously used vm_iomap_memory(), so this change replaces it with its mmap_prepare equivalent, mmap_action_simple_ioremap().

hpet: Convert ACPI driver to a platform one

2026-04-02T15:06:03+00:00

In all cases in which a struct acpi_driver is used for binding a driver to an ACPI device object, a corresponding platform device is created by the ACPI core and that device is regarded as a proper representation of underlying hardware. Accordingly, a struct platform_driver should be used by driver code to bind to that device. There are multiple reasons why drivers should not bind directly to ACPI device objects [1]. Overall, it is better to bind drivers to platform devices than to their ACPI companions, so convert the HPET ACPI driver to a platform one. While this is not expected to alter functionality, it changes sysfs layout and so it will be visible to user space.

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

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

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'. 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

treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable

2025-01-28T12:48:37+00:00

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net, drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function. Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata. This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the proc_handlers. Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command: Spatch: virtual patch @ depends on !(file in "net") disable optional_qualifier @ identifier table_name != { watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, iwcm_ctl_table, ucma_ctl_table, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table }; @@ + const struct ctl_table table_name [] = { ... }; sed: sed --in-place \ -e "s/struct ctl_table .table = &uts_kern/const struct ctl_table *table = \&uts_kern/" \ kernel/utsname_sysctl.c Reviewed-by: Song Liu Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) # for kernel/trace/ Reviewed-by: Martin K.

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.
