Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. 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

clocksource/drivers/dw_apb: Remove unused dw_apb_clockevent functions

2024-11-13T12:49:33+00:00

dw_apb_clockevent_pause(), dw_apb_clockevent_resume() and dw_apb_clockevent_stop() have been unused since 2021's commit 1b79fc4f2bfd ("x86/apb_timer: Remove driver for deprecated platform") Remove them. (Some of the other clockevent functions are still called by dw_apb_timer_of.c so I guess it is still in use?)

clocksource: dw_apb_timer: Make CPU-affiliation being optional

2020-05-22T22:02:41+00:00

Currently the DW APB Timer driver binds each clockevent timers to a particular CPU. This isn't good for multiple reasons. First of all seeing the device is placed on APB bus (which makes it accessible from any CPU core), accessible over MMIO and having the DYNIRQ flag set we can be sure that manually binding the timer to any CPU just isn't correct. By doing so we just set an extra limitation on device usage. This also doesn't reflect the device actual capability, since by setting the IRQ affinity we can make it virtually local to any CPU. Secondly imagine if you had a real CPU-local timer with the same rating and the same CPU-affinity. In this case if DW APB timer was registered first, then due to the clockevent framework tick-timer selection procedure we'll end up with the real CPU-local timer being left unselected for clock-events tracking. But on most of the platforms (MIPS/ARM/etc) such timers are normally embedded into the CPU core and are accessible with much better performance then devices placed on APB. For instance in MIPS architectures there is r4k-timer, which is CPU-local, assigned with the same rating, and normally its clockevent device is registered after the platform-specific one. So in order to fix all of these issues let's make the DW APB Timer CPU affinity being optional and deactivated by passing a negative CPU id, which will effectively set the DW APB clockevent timer cpumask to 'cpu_possible_mask'.

clocksource: Replace setup_irq() by request_irq()

2020-02-27T11:15:24+00:00

request_irq() is preferred over setup_irq(). The early boot setup_irq() invocations happen either via 'init_IRQ()' or 'time_init()', while memory allocators are ready by 'mm_init()'. Per tglx[1], setup_irq() existed in olden days when allocators were not ready by the time early interrupts were initialized. Hence replace setup_irq() by request_irq(). Seldom remove_irq() usage has been observed coupled with setup_irq(), wherever that has been found, it too has been replaced by free_irq(). A build error that was reported by kbuild test robot in the previous version of the patch also has been fixed.

clockevents/drivers/dw_apb: Set ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks

2017-04-14T20:11:13+00:00

In preparation for making the clockevents core NTP correction aware, all clockevent device drivers must set ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks rather than ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns: a clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the ratio of ns to ticks ceases to stay invariant. Make the dw_apb clockevent driver initialize these fields properly. This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will purge the initialization of ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns from this driver.
