Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00Z

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28Z

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

efi/efi_test: Fix missing pending status update in getwakeuptime

2025-05-21T13:39:30Z

The pending status was not being passed to user space, leading to false test alarms when using the pending status. This patch ensures that the pending status is correctly updated and exposed to user space when calling getwakeuptime, preventing incorrect handling of the pending status.

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43Z

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.

efi/efi_test: read RuntimeServicesSupported

2020-12-09T07:37:27Z

Since the UEFI 2.8A specification the UEFI enabled firmware provides a configuration table EFI_RT_PROPERTIES_TABLE which indicates which runtime services are enabled. The EFI stub reads this table and saves the value of the field RuntimeServicesSupported internally. The Firmware Test Suite requires the value to determine if UEFI runtime services are correctly implemented. With this patch an IOCTL call is provided to read the value of the field RuntimeServicesSupported, e.g. #define EFI_RUNTIME_GET_SUPPORTED_MASK \ _IOR('p', 0x0C, unsigned int) unsigned int mask; fd = open("/dev/efi_test", O_RDWR); ret = ioctl(fd, EFI_RUNTIME_GET_SUPPORTED_MASK, &mask); Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201127192051.1430-1-xypron.glpk@gmx.de Acked-by: Colin Ian King Acked-by: Ivan Hu Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

efi_test: get rid of pointless access_ok()

efi/efi_test: Lock down /dev/efi_test and require CAP_SYS_ADMIN

2019-10-31T08:40:21Z

The driver exposes EFI runtime services to user-space through an IOCTL interface, calling the EFI services function pointers directly without using the efivar API. Disallow access to the /dev/efi_test character device when the kernel is locked down to prevent arbitrary user-space to call EFI runtime services. Also require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to open the chardev to prevent unprivileged users to call the EFI runtime services, instead of just relying on the chardev file mode bits for this. The main user of this driver is the fwts [0] tool that already checks if the effective user ID is 0 and fails otherwise. So this change shouldn't cause any regression to this tool.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57Z

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
