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/sh_cmt: Always leave device running after probe

2025-11-26T10:24:40+00:00

The CMT device can be used as both a clocksource and a clockevent provider. The driver tries to be smart and power itself on and off, as well as enabling and disabling its clock when it's not in operation. This behavior is slightly altered if the CMT is used as an early platform device in which case the device is left powered on after probe, but the clock is still enabled and disabled at runtime. This has worked for a long time, but recent improvements in PREEMPT_RT and PROVE_LOCKING have highlighted an issue. As the CMT registers itself as a clockevent provider, clockevents_register_device(), it needs to use raw spinlocks internally as this is the context of which the clockevent framework interacts with the CMT driver. However in the context of holding a raw spinlock the CMT driver can't really manage its power state or clock with calls to pm_runtime_*() and clk_*() as these calls end up in other platform drivers using regular spinlocks to control power and clocks. This mix of spinlock contexts trips a lockdep warning. ============================= [ BUG: Invalid wait context ] 6.17.0-rc3-arm64-renesas-03071-gb3c4f4122b28-dirty #21 Not tainted ----------------------------- swapper/1/0 is trying to lock: ffff00000898d180 (&dev->power.lock){-...}-{3:3}, at: __pm_runtime_resume+0x38/0x88 ccree e6601000.crypto: ARM CryptoCell 630P Driver: HW version 0xAF400001/0xDCC63000, Driver version 5.0 other info that might help us debug this: ccree e6601000.crypto: ARM ccree device initialized context-{5:5} 2 locks held by swapper/1/0: #0: ffff80008173c298 (tick_broadcast_lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: __tick_broadcast_oneshot_control+0xa4/0x3a8 #1: ffff0000089a5858 (&ch->lock){....}-{2:2} usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid , at: sh_cmt_start+0x30/0x364 stack backtrace: CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 6.17.0-rc3-arm64-renesas-03071-gb3c4f4122b28-dirty #21 PREEMPT Hardware name: Renesas Salvator-X 2nd version board based on r8a77965 (DT) Call trace: show_stack+0x14/0x1c (C) dump_stack_lvl+0x6c/0x90 dump_stack+0x14/0x1c __lock_acquire+0x904/0x1584 lock_acquire+0x220/0x34c _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x58/0x80 __pm_runtime_resume+0x38/0x88 sh_cmt_start+0x54/0x364 sh_cmt_clock_event_set_oneshot+0x64/0xb8 clockevents_switch_state+0xfc/0x13c tick_broadcast_set_event+0x30/0xa4 __tick_broadcast_oneshot_control+0x1e0/0x3a8 tick_broadcast_oneshot_control+0x30/0x40 cpuidle_enter_state+0x40c/0x680 cpuidle_enter+0x30/0x40 do_idle+0x1f4/0x26c cpu_startup_entry+0x34/0x40 secondary_start_kernel+0x11c/0x13c __secondary_switched+0x74/0x78 For non-PREEMPT_RT builds this is not really an issue, but for PREEMPT_RT builds where normal spinlocks can sleep this might be an issue.

clocksource/drivers/sh_cmt: Split start/stop of clock source and events

2025-09-23T10:42:43+00:00

The CMT do a housekeeping such as dealing with runtime PM and enable/disable clocks when either a clock source is enabled, or when a new clock event is registered. Doing this type of housekeeping for when a clock event is registered is not always possible as it can happen in contexts where holding spinlocks is not possible. However doing it when registering a clock source is possible. As a first step to address this design break apart the CMT start and stop functions. The path for clock sources need not change, while the one for clock events need to be reworked in future work. There is no indented functional change, just breaking the two use-cases controlled by a flag into two distinct functions.

clocksource/drivers/sh_cmt: Address race condition for clock events

2024-07-12T14:07:05+00:00

There is a race condition in the CMT interrupt handler. In the interrupt handler the driver sets a driver private flag, FLAG_IRQCONTEXT. This flag is used to indicate any call to set_next_event() should not be directly propagated to the device, but instead cached. This is done as the interrupt handler itself reprograms the device when needed before it completes and this avoids this operation to take place twice. It is unclear why this design was chosen, my suspicion is to allow the struct clock_event_device.event_handler callback, which is called while the FLAG_IRQCONTEXT is set, can update the next event without having to write to the device twice. Unfortunately there is a race between when the FLAG_IRQCONTEXT flag is set and later cleared where the interrupt handler have already started to write the next event to the device. If set_next_event() is called in this window the value is only cached in the driver but not written. This leads to the board to misbehave, or worse lockup and produce a splat. rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: rcu: 0-...!: (0 ticks this GP) idle=f5e0/0/0x0 softirq=519/519 fqs=0 (false positive?) rcu: (detected by 1, t=6502 jiffies, g=-595, q=77 ncpus=2) Sending NMI from CPU 1 to CPUs 0: NMI backtrace for cpu 0 CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.10.0-rc5-arm64-renesas-00019-g74a6f86eaf1c-dirty #20 Hardware name: Renesas Salvator-X 2nd version board based on r8a77965 (DT) pstate: 60000005 (nZCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : tick_check_broadcast_expired+0xc/0x40 lr : cpu_idle_poll.isra.0+0x8c/0x168 sp : ffff800081c63d70 x29: ffff800081c63d70 x28: 00000000580000c8 x27: 00000000bfee5610 x26: 0000000000000027 x25: 0000000000000000 x24: 0000000000000000 x23: ffff00007fbb9100 x22: ffff8000818f1008 x21: ffff8000800ef07c x20: ffff800081c79ec0 x19: ffff800081c70c28 x18: 0000000000000000 x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 x15: 0000ffffc2c717d8 x14: 0000000000000000 x13: ffff000009c18080 x12: ffff8000825f7fc0 x11: 0000000000000000 x10: ffff8000818f3cd4 x9 : 0000000000000028 x8 : ffff800081c79ec0 x7 : ffff800081c73000 x6 : 0000000000000000 x5 : 0000000000000000 x4 : ffff7ffffe286000 x3 : 0000000000000000 x2 : ffff7ffffe286000 x1 : ffff800082972900 x0 : ffff8000818f1008 Call trace: tick_check_broadcast_expired+0xc/0x40 do_idle+0x9c/0x280 cpu_startup_entry+0x34/0x40 kernel_init+0x0/0x11c do_one_initcall+0x0/0x260 __primary_switched+0x80/0x88 rcu: rcu_preempt kthread timer wakeup didn't happen for 6501 jiffies! g-595 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(5) ->state=0x402 rcu: Possible timer handling issue on cpu=0 timer-softirq=262 rcu: rcu_preempt kthread starved for 6502 jiffies! g-595 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(5) ->state=0x402 ->cpu=0 rcu: Unless rcu_preempt kthread gets sufficient CPU time, OOM is now expected behavior. rcu: RCU grace-period kthread stack dump: task:rcu_preempt state:I stack:0 pid:15 tgid:15 ppid:2 flags:0x00000008 Call trace: __switch_to+0xbc/0x100 __schedule+0x358/0xbe0 schedule+0x48/0x148 schedule_timeout+0xc4/0x138 rcu_gp_fqs_loop+0x12c/0x764 rcu_gp_kthread+0x208/0x298 kthread+0x10c/0x110 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 The design have been part of the driver since it was first merged in early 2009. It becomes increasingly harder to trigger the issue the older kernel version one tries. It only takes a few boots on v6.10-rc5, while hundreds of boots are needed to trigger it on v5.10. Close the race condition by using the CMT channel lock for the two competing sections. The channel lock was added to the driver after its initial design.

clocksource: Explicitly include correct DT includes

2023-08-28T18:30:57+00:00

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate of_platform_bus_type before it was merged into the regular platform bus. As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they "temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to explicitly include the correct includes.

clocksource: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules

2023-04-13T20:13:51+00:00

Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message. So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as modules.

clocksource/drivers/sh_cmt: Mark driver as non-removable

2023-02-13T12:10:17+00:00

The comment in the remove callback suggests that the driver is not supposed to be unbound. However returning an error code in the remove callback doesn't accomplish that. Instead set the suppress_bind_attrs property (which makes it impossible to unbind the driver via sysfs). The only remaining way to unbind a sh_cmt device would be module unloading, but that doesn't apply here, as the driver cannot be built as a module. Also drop the useless remove callback.

clocksource/drivers/sh_cmt: Access registers according to spec

2022-12-01T10:56:25+00:00

Documentation for most CMTs say that it takes two input clocks before changes propagate to the timer. This is especially relevant when the timer is stopped to change further settings. Implement the delays according to the spec. To avoid unnecessary delays in atomic mode, also check if the to-be-written value actually differs. CMCNT is a bit special because testing showed that it requires 3 cycles to propagate, which affects all CMTs. Also, the WRFLAG needs to be checked before writing. This fixes "cannot clear CMCNT" messages which occur often on R-Car Gen4 SoCs, but only very rarely on older SoCs for some reason.
