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

efi: capsule: clean scatter-gather entries from the D-cache

2020-12-09T07:37:27+00:00

Scatter-gather lists passed to UpdateCapsule() should be cleaned from the D-cache to ensure that they are visible to the CPU after a warm reboot before the MMU is enabled. On ARM and arm64 systems, this implies a D-cache clean by virtual address to the point of coherency. However, due to the fact that the firmware itself is not able to map physical addresses back to virtual addresses when running under the OS, this must be done by the caller.

efi: capsule: use atomic kmap for transient sglist mappings

2020-12-07T18:31:43+00:00

Don't use the heavy-weight kmap() API to create short-lived mappings of the scatter-gather list entries that are released as soon as the entries are written. Instead, use kmap_atomic(), which is more suited to this purpose. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

treewide: kzalloc() -> kcalloc()

2018-06-12T23:19:22+00:00

The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This patch replaces cases of: kzalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kcalloc(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( kzalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | kzalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT;

efi/capsule-loader: Use page addresses rather than struct page pointers

2017-06-05T15:50:41+00:00

To give some leeway to code that handles non-standard capsule headers, let's keep an array of page addresses rather than struct page pointers. This gives special implementations of efi_capsule_setup_info() the opportunity to mangle the payload a bit before it is presented to the firmware, without putting any knowledge of the nature of such quirks into the generic code.

efi/capsule: Allocate whole capsule into virtual memory

2016-08-11T11:55:36+00:00

According to UEFI 2.6 section 7.5.3, the capsule should be in contiguous virtual memory and firmware may consume the capsule immediately. To correctly implement this functionality, the kernel driver needs to vmap the entire capsule at the time it is made available to firmware. The virtual allocation of the capsule update has been changed from kmap, which was only allocating the first page of the update, to vmap, and allocates the entire data payload.

efi/capsule: Move 'capsule' to the stack in efi_capsule_supported()

2016-05-07T05:06:13+00:00

Dan Carpenter reports that passing the address of the pointer to the kmalloc()'d memory for 'capsule' is dangerous: "drivers/firmware/efi/capsule.c:109 efi_capsule_supported() warn: did you mean to pass the address of 'capsule' 108 109 status = efi.query_capsule_caps(&capsule, 1, &max_size, reset); ^^^^^^^^ If we modify capsule inside this function call then at the end of the function we aren't freeing the original pointer that we allocated." Ard Biesheuvel noted that we don't even need to call kmalloc() since the object we allocate isn't very big and doesn't need to persist after the function returns. Place 'capsule' on the stack instead.
