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

sysfb: Move edid_info into sysfb_primary_display

2025-12-16T13:12:44+00:00

Move x86's edid_info into sysfb_primary_display as a new field named edid. Adapt all users. An instance of edid_info has only been defined on x86. With the move into sysfb_primary_display, it becomes available on all architectures. Therefore remove this contraint from CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID. x86 fills the EDID data from boot_params.edid_info. DRM drivers pick up the raw data and make it available to DRM clients. Replace the drivers' references to edid_info and instead use the sysfb_display_info as passed from sysfb.

video: Make CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID generally available

2025-06-16T09:00:28+00:00

DRM drivers such as efidrm and vesadrm can export firmware EDID data to userspace. Make the related option CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID available without CONFIG_FB. Make it depend on X86, which is currently the only architecture providing EDID information.

2020-07-20T09:47:29+00:00

Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
