<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
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 *".

<title>PCI: hotplug: Embed hotplug_slot</title>

<id>urn:sha1:125450f814418b9f889c9885831467d1b2e25a7d</id>
<content type='text'>
When the PCI hotplug core and its first user, cpqphp, were introduced in
February 2002 with historic commit a8a2069f432c, cpqphp allocated a slot
struct for its internal use plus a hotplug_slot struct to be registered
with the hotplug core and linked the two with pointers:
https://git.kernel.org/tglx/history/c/a8a2069f432c

Nowadays, the predominant pattern in the tree is to embed ("subclass")
such structures in one another and cast to the containing struct with
container_of().  But it wasn't until July 2002 that container_of() was
introduced with historic commit ec4f214232cf:
https://git.kernel.org/tglx/history/c/ec4f214232cf

pnv_php, introduced in 2016, did the right thing and embedded struct
hotplug_slot in its internal struct pnv_php_slot, but all other drivers
cargo-culted cpqphp's design and linked separate structs with pointers.

Embedding structs is preferrable to linking them with pointers because
it requires fewer allocations, thereby reducing overhead and simplifying
error paths.  Casting an embedded struct to the containing struct
becomes a cheap subtraction rather than a dereference.  And having fewer
pointers reduces the risk of them pointing nowhere either accidentally
or due to an attack.

Convert all drivers to embed struct hotplug_slot in their internal slot
struct.  The "private" pointer in struct hotplug_slot thereby becomes
unused, so drop it.

<title>PCI: hotplug: Drop hotplug_slot_info</title>
<updated>2018-09-18T22:52:15+00:00</updated>

<name>Lukas Wunner</name>

<id>urn:sha1:a7da21613c4efcd4cc0235e6a30bec96ae47c619</id>
<content type='text'>
Ever since the PCI hotplug core was introduced in 2002, drivers had to
allocate and register a struct hotplug_slot_info for every slot:
https://git.kernel.org/tglx/history/c/a8a2069f432c

Apparently the idea was that drivers furnish the hotplug core with an
up-to-date card presence status, power status, latch status and
attention indicator status as well as notify the hotplug core of changes
thereof.  However only 4 out of 12 hotplug drivers bother to notify the
hotplug core with pci_hp_change_slot_info() and the hotplug core never
made any use of the information:  There is just a single macro in
pci_hotplug_core.c, GET_STATUS(), which uses the hotplug_slot_info if
the driver lacks the corresponding callback in hotplug_slot_ops.  The
macro is called when the user reads the attribute via sysfs.

Now, if the callback isn't defined, the attribute isn't exposed in sysfs
in the first place (see e.g. has_power_file()).  There are only two
situations when the hotplug_slot_info would actually be accessed:

* If the driver defines -&gt;enable_slot or -&gt;disable_slot but not
  -&gt;get_power_status.

* If the driver defines -&gt;set_attention_status but not
  -&gt;get_attention_status.

There is no driver doing the former and just a single driver doing the
latter, namely pnv_php.c.  Amend it with a -&gt;get_attention_status
callback.  With that, the hotplug_slot_info becomes completely unused by
the PCI hotplug core.  But a few drivers use it internally as a cache:

cpcihp uses it to cache the latch_status and adapter_status.
cpqhp uses it to cache the adapter_status.
pnv_php and rpaphp use it to cache the attention_status.
shpchp uses it to cache all four values.

Amend these drivers to cache the information in their private slot
struct.  shpchp's slot struct already contains members to cache the
power_status and adapter_status, so additional members are only needed
for the other two values.  In the case of cpqphp, the cached value is
only accessed in a single place, so instead of caching it, read the
current value from the hardware.

Caution:  acpiphp, cpci, cpqhp, shpchp, asus-wmi and eeepc-laptop
populate the hotplug_slot_info with initial values on probe.  That code
is herewith removed.  There is a theoretical chance that the code has
side effects without which the driver fails to function, e.g. if the
ACPI method to read the adapter status needs to be executed at least
once on probe.  That seems unlikely to me, still maintainers should
review the changes carefully for this possibility.

Rafael adds: "I'm not aware of any case in which it will break anything,
[...] but if that happens, it may be necessary to add the execution of
the control methods in question directly to the initialization part."

<content type='text'>
Hotplug drivers cannot declare their hotplug_slot_ops const, making them
attractive targets for attackers, because upon registration of a hotplug
slot, __pci_hp_initialize() writes to the "owner" and "mod_name" members
in that struct.

Fix by moving these members to struct hotplug_slot and constify every
driver's hotplug_slot_ops except for pciehp.

pciehp constructs its hotplug_slot_ops at runtime based on the PCIe
port's capabilities, hence cannot declare them const.  It can be
converted to __write_rarely once that's mainlined:
