hsi: hsi_core: use kzalloc_flex

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

driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *

2024-07-03T13:16:54+00:00

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct device_driver in read-only memory. Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of() calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *. For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.) That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their struct device * in read-only-memory. Cc: Rafael J.

hsi: hsi_core: make hsi_bus_type const

2024-02-06T15:08:46+00:00

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type, move the hsi_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well, placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

of: Rename of_modalias_node()

2023-04-05T17:41:10+00:00

This helper does not produce a real modalias, but tries to get the "product" compatible part of the "vendor,product" compatibles only. It is far from creating a purely useful modalias string and does not seem to be used like that directly anyway, so let's try to give this helper a more meaningful name before moving there a real modalias helper (already existing under of/device.c). Also update the various documentations to refer to the strings as "aliases" rather than "modaliases" which has a real meaning in the Linux kernel. There is no functional change. Cc: Rafael J.

driver core: make struct bus_type.uevent() take a const *

2023-01-27T12:45:52+00:00

The uevent() callback in struct bus_type should not be modifying the device that is passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the function signature changes out into all relevant subsystems that use this callback.

If some of the allocations fail between the dev_set_name() and the device_register() then the name will not be freed. Fix this by moving dev_set_name() directly in front of the call to device_register().
