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: include linux/pgalloc.h instead of asm/pgalloc.h

2025-11-17T01:28:25+00:00

For now, including instead of is technically fine unless the .c file calls p*d_populate_kernel() helper functions. But it is a better practice to always include . Include instead of outside arch/.

ARM: 9255/1: efi/dump UEFI runtime page tables for ARM

2022-11-07T14:19:01+00:00

UEFI runtime page tables dump only for ARM64 at present, but ARM support EFI and ARM_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS now. Since ARM could potentially execute with a 1G/3G user/kernel split, choosing 1G as the upper limit for UEFI runtime end, with this, we could enable UEFI runtime page tables on ARM.

efi: runtime: Don't assume virtual mappings are missing if VA == PA == 0

2022-10-21T09:09:41+00:00

The generic EFI stub can be instructed to avoid SetVirtualAddressMap(), and simply run with the firmware's 1:1 mapping. In this case, it populates the virtual address fields of the runtime regions in the memory map with the physical address of each region, so that the mapping code has to be none the wiser. Only if SetVirtualAddressMap() fails, the virtual addresses are wiped and the kernel code knows that the regions cannot be mapped. However, wiping amounts to setting it to zero, and if a runtime region happens to live at physical address 0, its valid 1:1 mapped virtual address could be mistaken for a wiped field, resulting on loss of access to the EFI services at runtime. So let's only assume that VA == 0 means 'no runtime services' if the region in question does not live at PA 0x0. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

efi/arm: Drop unnecessary references to efi.systab

2020-02-23T20:59:42+00:00

Instead of populating efi.systab very early during efi_init() with a mapping that is released again before the function exits, use a local variable here. Now that we use efi.runtime to access the runtime services table, this removes the only reference efi.systab, so there is no need to populate it anymore, or discover its virtually remapped address. So drop the references entirely. Tested-by: Tony Luck # arch/ia64 Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel
