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

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

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.

HID: nintendo: add IMU support

2021-10-27T08:05:52+00:00

This patch adds support for the controller's IMU. The accelerometer and gyro data are both provided to userspace using a second input device. The devices can be associated using their uniq value (set to the controller's MAC address). A large part of this patch's functionality was provided by Carl Mueller. The IMU device is blacklisted from the joydev input handler. Signed-off-by: Daniel J. Ogorchock Acked-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

Input: joydev - prevent use of not validated data in JSIOCSBTNMAP ioctl

2021-07-05T06:02:10+00:00

Even though we validate user-provided inputs we then traverse past validated data when applying the new map. The issue was originally discovered by Murray McAllister with this simple POC (if the following is executed by an unprivileged user it will instantly panic the system): int main(void) { int fd, ret; unsigned int buffer[10000]; fd = open("/dev/input/js0", O_RDONLY); if (fd == -1) printf("Error opening file\n"); ret = ioctl(fd, JSIOCSBTNMAP & ~IOCSIZE_MASK, &buffer); printf("%d\n", ret); } The solution is to traverse internal buffer which is guaranteed to only contain valid date when constructing the map.

module: remove never implemented MODULE_SUPPORTED_DEVICE

2021-03-17T20:16:18+00:00

MODULE_SUPPORTED_DEVICE was added in pre-git era and never was implemented. We can safely remove it, because the kernel has grown to have many more reliable mechanisms to determine if device is supported or not. Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Input: joydev - prevent potential read overflow in ioctl

2021-02-19T19:02:16+00:00

The problem here is that "len" might be less than "joydev->nabs" so the loops which verfy abspam[i] and keypam[] might read beyond the buffer.
