Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

move asm/unaligned.h to linux/unaligned.h

2024-10-02T21:23:23+00:00

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h; might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header. auto-generated by the following: for i in `git grep -l -w asm/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done for i in `git grep -l -w asm-generic/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm-generic\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done git mv include/asm-generic/unaligned.h include/linux/unaligned.h git mv tools/include/asm-generic/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h sed -i -e "/unaligned.h/d" include/asm-generic/Kbuild sed -i -e "s/__ASM_GENERIC/__LINUX/" include/linux/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h

misc: add HAS_IOPORT dependencies

2023-05-29T14:05:00+00:00

In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will result in inb()/outb() and friends not being declared. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for those drivers using them.

misc: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy

2022-09-01T14:29:42+00:00

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used. Generated by a coccinelle script.

altera-stapl: altera_get_note: prevent write beyond end of 'key'

2020-03-03T07:02:57+00:00

altera_get_note is called from altera_init, where key is kzalloc(33). When the allocation functions are annotated to allow the compiler to see the sizes of objects, and with FORTIFY_SOURCE, we see: In file included from drivers/misc/altera-stapl/altera.c:14:0: In function ‘strlcpy’, inlined from ‘altera_init’ at drivers/misc/altera-stapl/altera.c:2189:5: include/linux/string.h:378:4: error: call to ‘__write_overflow’ declared with attribute error: detected write beyond size of object passed as 1st parameter __write_overflow(); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That refers to this code in altera_get_note: if (key != NULL) strlcpy(key, &p[note_strings + get_unaligned_be32( &p[note_table + (8 * i)])], length); The error triggers because the length of 'key' is 33, but the copy uses length supplied as the 'length' parameter, which is always 256. Split the size parameter into key_len and val_len, and use the appropriate length depending on what is being copied. Detected by compiler error, only compile-tested. Cc: "Igor M.
