Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\

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

Input: include export.h in modules using EXPORT_SYMBOL*()

2025-08-21T19:00:59+00:00

A number of modules in the input subsystem use EXPORT_SYMBOL() and friends without explicitly including the corresponding header . While the build currently succeeds due to this header being pulled in transitively, this is not guaranteed to be the case in the future. Let's add the explicit include to make the dependencies clear and prevent future build breakage. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: move input_bits_to_string() to input-compat.c

2025-08-21T19:00:58+00:00

The input_bits_to_string() function has special handling for compat tasks, formatting the output as a sequence of 32-bit hex values. To better isolate compatibility-related code, move it from drivers/input/input.c to drivers/input/input-compat.c. No functional change intended. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Merge tag 'ib-mfd-gpio-input-pwm-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lee/mfd into next

2025-08-04T06:28:48+00:00

Merge an immutable branch between MFD, GPIO, Input and PWM to resolve conflicts for the merge window pull request.

Input: remove special handling of id->driver_info when matching

2025-07-02T04:02:58+00:00

evdev has switched to match on EV_SYN instead of relying on non-zero driver_info field to allow matching to all devices. Remove special handling from input core. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

treewide, timers: Rename from_timer() to timer_container_of()

2025-06-08T07:07:37+00:00

Move this API to the canonical timer_*() namespace. [ tglx: Redone against pre rc1 ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aB2X0jCKQO56WdMt@gmail.com

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12+00:00

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Input: use guard notation in input core

2024-12-24T06:53:58+00:00

Switch input core to use "guard" notation when acquiring spinlocks and mutexes to simplify the code and ensure that locks are automatically released when control leaves critical section.
