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

kunit: test_dev_action: Correctly cast 'priv' pointer to long*

2025-10-20T19:08:05+00:00

The previous implementation incorrectly assumed the original type of 'priv' was void**, leading to an unnecessary and misleading cast. Correct the cast of the 'priv' pointer in test_dev_action() to its actual type, long*, removing an unnecessary cast. As an additional benefit, this fixes an out-of-bounds CHERI fault on hardware with architectural capabilities. The original implementation tried to store a capability-sized pointer using the priv pointer. However, the priv pointer's capability only granted access to the memory region of its original long type, leading to a bounds violation since the size of a long is smaller than the size of a capability. This change ensures that the pointer usage respects the capabilities' bounds.

kunit: Adjust kunit_test timeout based on test_{suite,case} speed

2025-06-25T02:47:39+00:00

Currently, the in-kernel kunit test case timeout is 300 seconds. (There is a separate timeout mechanism for the whole test execution in kunit.py, but that's unrelated.) However, tests marked 'slow' or 'very slow' may timeout, particularly on slower machines. Implement a multiplier to the test-case timeout, so that slower tests have longer to complete: - DEFAULT -> 1x default timeout - KUNIT_SPEED_SLOW -> 3x default timeout - KUNIT_SPEED_VERY_SLOW -> 12x default timeout A further change is planned to allow user configuration of the default/base timeout to allow people with faster or slower machines to adjust these to their use-cases.

kunit: Add test for static stub

2025-06-18T18:56:18+00:00

__kunit_activate_static_stub() works effectively as kunit_deactivate_static_stub() if `replacement_addr` is NULL. Add a test case to catch the issue discovered in commit 772e50a76ee6 ("kunit: Fix wrong parameter to kunit_deactivate_static_stub()").

kunit: Fix potential null dereference in kunit_device_driver_test()

kunit_kzalloc() may return a NULL pointer, dereferencing it without NULL check may lead to NULL dereference. Add a NULL check for test_state.

kunit: test: Move fault tests behind KUNIT_FAULT_TEST Kconfig option

2024-05-06T20:22:02+00:00

The NULL dereference tests in kunit_fault deliberately trigger a kernel BUG(), and therefore print the associated stack trace, even when the test passes. This is both annoying (as it bloats the test output), and can confuse some test harnesses, which assume any BUG() is a failure. Allow these tests to be specifically disabled (without disabling all of KUnit's other tests), by placing them behind the CONFIG_KUNIT_FAULT_TEST Kconfig option. This is enabled by default, but can be set to 'n' to disable the test. An empty 'kunit_fault' suite is left behind, which will automatically be marked 'skipped'. As the fault tests already were disabled under UML (as they weren't compatible with its fault handling), we can simply adapt those conditions, and add a dependency on !UML for our new option.
