drm: Add CRTC background color property

2026-03-18T09:59:57+00:00

Some display controllers can be hardware programmed to show non-black colors for pixels that are either not covered by any plane or are exposed through transparent regions of higher planes. This feature can help reduce memory bandwidth usage, e.g. in compositors managing a UI with a solid background color while using smaller planes to render the remaining content. To support this capability, introduce the BACKGROUND_COLOR standard DRM mode property, which can be attached to a CRTC through the drm_crtc_attach_background_color_property() helper function. Additionally, define a 64-bit ARGB format value to be built with the help of a couple of dedicated DRM_ARGB64_PREP*() helpers. Individual color components can be extracted with desired precision using the corresponding DRM_ARGB64_GET*() macros. Co-developed-by: Matt Roper Signed-off-by: Matt Roper Reviewed-by: Nícolas F. R.

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
