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

Input: psmouse - switch to use scnprintf() to suppress truncation warning

2025-06-04T04:51:28+00:00

Switch the driver to use scnprintf() to avoid warnings about potential truncation of "phys" field which we can tolerate. Reported-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Revert "Input: Add driver for PixArt PS/2 touchpad"

2024-10-01T10:54:05+00:00

This reverts commit 740ff03d7238214a318cdcfd96dec51832b053d2 because current PixArt detection is too greedy and claims devices that are not PixArt. Reported-by: Benjamin Tissoires Closes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2314756 Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: Add driver for PixArt PS/2 touchpad

2024-07-24T04:27:18+00:00

This patch introduces a driver for the PixArt PS/2 touchpad, which supports both clickpad and touchpad types. At the same time, we extended the single data packet length to 16, because according to the current PixArt hardware and FW design, we need 11 bytes/15 bytes to represent the complete three-finger/four-finger data.

Input: mouse - use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)

2024-06-03T04:32:02+00:00

It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type) due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not change the former (unlike the latter). This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.

Input: libps2 - introduce common interrupt handler

2023-05-18T18:40:32+00:00

Instead of exposing inner workings of libps2 to drivers such as atkbd and psmouse, have them define pre-receive and receive callbacks, and provide a common handler that can be used with underlying serio port. While at this add kerneldoc to the module. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZGK81cxqjr/KS1kA@google.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: libps2 - attach ps2dev instances as serio port's drvdata

2023-05-18T18:40:32+00:00

In preparation of having unified interrupt handler for PS/2 devices, instead of attaching instances of psmouse and atkbd structures as serio's driver data, switch to attaching ps2dev instances.

Input: psmouse - switch to using dev_groups for driver-specific attributes

2022-09-03T19:31:18+00:00

The driver core now has the ability to handle the creation and removal of device-specific sysfs files, let's use it instead of registering and unregistering attributes by hand.

Input: psmouse - add a newline when printing 'proto' by sysfs

2020-07-22T05:33:27+00:00

When I cat parameter 'proto' by sysfs, it displays as follows. It's better to add a newline for easy reading. root@syzkaller:~# cat /sys/module/psmouse/parameters/proto autoroot@syzkaller:~# Signed-off-by: Xiongfeng Wang Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200720073846.120724-1-wangxiongfeng2@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov
