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

[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.

tpm: add support for nonblocking operation

2018-10-05T10:47:33+00:00

Currently the TPM driver only supports blocking calls, which doesn't allow asynchronous IO operations to the TPM hardware. This patch changes it and adds support for nonblocking write and a new poll function to enable applications, which want to take advantage of this.

tpm: infrastructure for TPM spaces

2017-04-03T19:46:01+00:00

Added an ability to virtualize TPM commands into an isolated context that we call a TPM space because the word context is already heavily used in the TPM specification. Both the handle areas and bodies (where necessary) are virtualized. The mechanism works by adding a new parameter struct tpm_space to the tpm_transmit() function. This new structure contains the list of virtual handles and a buffer of page size (currently) for backing storage. When tpm_transmit() is called with a struct tpm_space instance it will execute the following sequence: 1. Take locks. 2. Load transient objects from the backing storage by using ContextLoad and map virtual handles to physical handles. 3. Perform the transaction. 4. Save transient objects to backing storage by using ContextSave and map resulting physical handle to virtual handle if there is such. This commit does not implement virtualization support for hmac and policy sessions. Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen Tested-by: James Bottomley Reviewed-by: James Bottomley

tpm: Begin the process to deprecate user_read_timer

2017-02-03T20:03:14+00:00

For a long time the cdev read/write interface had this strange idea that userspace had to read the result within 60 seconds otherwise it is discarded. Perhaps this made sense under some older locking regime, but in the modern kernel it is not required and is just dangerous. Since something may be relying on this, double the timeout and print a warning. We can remove the code in a few years, but this should be enough to prevent new users.

Unseal and load operations should be done as an atomic operation. This commit introduces unlocked tpm_transmit() so that tpm2_unseal_trusted() can do the locking by itself.
