treewide, timers: Rename from_timer() to timer_container_of()

2025-06-08T07:07:37+00:00

Move this API to the canonical timer_*() namespace. [ tglx: Redone against pre rc1 ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aB2X0jCKQO56WdMt@gmail.com

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12+00:00

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

vbox: add HAS_IOPORT dependency

2025-02-20T14:19:27+00:00

The vboxguest driver depends on port I/O for debug output: include/asm-generic/io.h:626:15: error: call to '_outl' declared with attribute error: outl() requires CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT 626 | #define _outl _outl include/asm-generic/io.h:663:14: note: in expansion of macro '_outl' 663 | #define outl _outl | ^~~~~ drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_utils.c:102:9: note: in expansion of macro 'outl' 102 | outl(phys_req, gdev->io_port + VMMDEV_PORT_OFF_REQUEST); | ^~~~ Most arm64 platforms don't actually support port I/O, though it is currently enabled unconditionally. Refine the vbox dependency to allow turning HAS_IOPORT off in the future when building for platforms without port I/O and allow compile-testing on all architectures.

vbox: Enable VBOXGUEST and VBOXSF_FS on ARM64

2025-01-07T14:57:23+00:00

Now that VirtualBox is able to run as a host on arm64 (e.g. the Apple M3 processors) we can enable VBOXSF_FS (and in turn VBOXGUEST) for this architecture. Tested with various runs of bonnie++ and dbench on an Apple MacBook Pro with the latest Virtualbox 7.1.4 r165100 installed.

virt: vbox: linux: fix all kernel-doc warnings

virt: vbox: Remove unproper information

2022-09-09T08:19:18+00:00

When drivers are working properly, they are quiet. Therefore, the vbg_info() should be removed. Suggested-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede Signed-off-by: Jiasheng Jiang Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220901144619.3550352-1-jiasheng@iscas.ac.cn Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

virt: vbox: convert to use dev_groups

2022-09-09T08:19:04+00:00

The driver core supports the ability to handle the creation and removal of device-specific sysfs files in a race-free manner. Moreover, it can guarantee the success of creation. Therefore, it should be better to convert to use dev_groups.

virt: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy

2022-09-01T14:29:46+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.
