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

Pull tty/serial updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of tty/serial driver changes for 6.19-rc1. Nothing major at all, just small constant churn to make the tty layer "cleaner" as well as serial driver updates and even a new test added! Included in here are: - More tty/serial cleanups from Jiri - tty tiocsti test added to hopefully ensure we don't regress in this area again - sc16is7xx driver updates - imx serial driver updates - 8250 driver updates - new hardware device ids added - other minor serial/tty driver cleanups and tweaks All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'tty-6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty: (60 commits) serial: sh-sci: Fix deadlock during RSCI FIFO overrun error dt-bindings: serial: rsci: Drop "uart-has-rtscts: false" LoongArch: dts: Add uart new compatible string serial: 8250: Add Loongson uart driver support dt-bindings: serial: 8250: Add Loongson uart compatible serial: 8250: add driver for KEBA UART serial: Keep rs485 settings for devices without firmware node serial: qcom-geni: Enable Serial on SA8255p Qualcomm platforms serial: qcom-geni: Enable PM runtime for serial driver serial: sprd: Return -EPROBE_DEFER when uart clock is not ready tty: serial: samsung: Declare earlycon for Exynos850 serial: icom: Convert PCIBIOS_* return codes to errnos serial: 8250-of: Fix style issues in 8250_of.c serial: add support of CPCI cards serial: mux: Fix kernel doc for mux_poll() tty: replace use of system_unbound_wq with system_dfl_wq serial: 8250_platform: simplify IRQF_SHARED handling serial: 8250: make share_irqs local to 8250_platform serial: 8250: move skip_txen_test to core serial: drop SERIAL_8250_DEPRECATED_OPTIONS ...

tty: pty: use guard()s

2025-11-21T17:30:39+00:00

Use guards in the pty code. This improves readability, makes error handling easier, and marks locked portions of code explicit. All that while being sure the lock is unlocked. pty_set_pktmode() is handled specially -- the conditions are inverted and return called if conditions unmet. This avoid double nested 'if's. The variable is renamed to want_pktmode so it is not confused with the current state of pktmode.

fsnotify: use accessor to set FMODE_NONOTIFY_*

2025-02-07T09:27:26+00:00

The FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits are a 2-bits mode. Open coding manipulation of those bits is risky. Use an accessor file_set_fsnotify_mode() to set the mode. Rename file_set_fsnotify_mode() => file_set_fsnotify_mode_from_watchers() to make way for the simple accessor name.

tty: make tty_class a static const structure

2023-04-03T19:43:07+00:00

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only memory, move the tty_class structure to be declared at build time placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically allocated at boot time.
