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

fbdev: pvr2fb: Fix leftover reference to ONCHIP_NR_DMA_CHANNELS

2025-10-28T21:59:19+00:00

Commit e24cca19babe ("sh: Kill off MAX_DMA_ADDRESS leftovers.") removed the define ONCHIP_NR_DMA_CHANNELS. So that the leftover reference needs to be replaced by CONFIG_NR_ONCHIP_DMA_CHANNELS to compile successfully with CONFIG_PVR2_DMA enabled.

fbdev/pvr2fb: Initialize fb_ops to fbdev I/O-memory helpers

2023-10-19T10:56:08+00:00

Initialize the instance of struct fb_ops with fbdev initializer macros for framebuffers in I/O address space. Set the read/write, draw and mmap callbacks to the correct implementation and avoid implicit defaults. Also select the necessary I/O helpers in Kconfig. Fbdev drivers sometimes rely on the callbacks being NULL for a default implementation to be invoked; hence requiring the I/O helpers to be built in any case. Setting all callbacks in all drivers explicitly will allow to make the I/O helpers optional. This benefits systems that do not use these functions. No functional changes.

fbdev: Remove FBINFO_DEFAULT from framebuffer_alloc()'ed structs

2023-07-24T14:50:38+00:00

The flag FBINFO_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct fbinfo.flags has been allocated to zero by framebuffer_alloc(). So do not set it. Flags should signal differences from the default values. After cleaning up all occurrences of FBINFO_DEFAULT, the token will be removed. v4: * clarify commit message (Geert, Dan) v2: * fix commit message (Miguel) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Helge Deller Cc: Nicolas Ferre Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Ferenc Bakonyi Cc: "K.

Update the names of the fb_mem*() helpers to be consistent with their regular counterparts. Hence, fb_memset() now becomes fb_memset_io(), fb_memcpy_fromfb() now becomes fb_memcpy_fromio() and fb_memcpy_tofb() becomes fb_memcpy_toio().

fbdev: Validate info->screen_{base, buffer} in fb_ops implementations

2023-05-08T13:28:34+00:00

Push the test for info->screen_base from fb_read() and fb_write() into the implementations of struct fb_ops.{fb_read,fb_write}. In cases where the driver operates on info->screen_buffer, test this field instead. While bothi fields, screen_base and screen_buffer, are stored in the same location, they refer to different address spaces. For correctness, we want to test each field in exactly the code that uses it. v2: * also test screen_base in pvr2fb (Geert) * also test screen_buffer in ivtvfb, arcfb, broadsheetfb, hecubafb, metronomefb and ssd1307fb (Geert) * give a rational for the change (Geert) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Tested-by: Sui Jingfeng Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas Acked-by: Helge Deller Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230428122452.4856-18-tzimmermann@suse.de

fbdev: Add support for the nomodeset kernel parameter

2022-11-16T12:26:25+00:00

Support the kernel's nomodeset parameter for all PCI-based fbdev drivers that use aperture helpers to remove other, hardware-agnostic graphics drivers. The parameter is a simple way of using the firmware-provided scanout buffer if the hardware's native driver is broken. The same effect could be achieved with per-driver options, but the importance of the graphics output for many users makes a single, unified approach worthwhile. With nomodeset specified, the fbdev driver module will not load. This unifies behavior with similar DRM drivers. In DRM helpers, modules first check the nomodeset parameter before registering the PCI driver. As fbdev has no such module helpers, we have to modify each driver individually. The name 'nomodeset' is slightly misleading, but has been chosen for historical reasons. Several drivers implemented it before it became a general option for DRM. So keeping the existing name was preferred over introducing a new one. v2: * print a warning if a driver does not init (Helge) * wrap video_firmware_drivers_only() in helper Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20221111133024.9897-3-tzimmermann@suse.de

fbdev: Remove conflicting devices on PCI bus

2022-07-19T11:19:11+00:00

Remove firmware devices on the PCI bus, by calling aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices() in the probe function of each related fbdev driver. iSo far, most of these drivers did not remove conflicting VESA or EFI devices, or outride failed for resource conflicts (i.e., matroxfb.) This must have been broken for quite some time.
