accessibility: speakup: unregister tty ldisc on later init failures

2026-07-17T12:54:56+00:00

The ldisc registration is intentionally non-fatal, since some synth drivers do not use tty/ldisc. However, once speakup_init() continues past the registration point and later fails, the init unwind path should mirror speakup_exit() and call spk_ttyio_unregister_ldisc(). Add the missing unregister call to the error path after synth_release(), matching the normal module exit cleanup order.

speakup: Standardize character attribute types to u16

2026-07-17T12:54:55+00:00

This change replaces non-portable `u_short` types with standardized `u16` throughout the speakup subsystem to ensure: 1. Consistent 16-bit width across all architectures. 2. Improved code portability and readability. 3. Elimination of platform-dependent type sizes. 4. Safe bitwise operations without sign-extension risks.

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

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

speakup: Fix sizeof() vs ARRAY_SIZE() bug

2024-05-08T18:44:21+00:00

The "buf" pointer is an array of u16 values. This code should be using ARRAY_SIZE() (which is 256) instead of sizeof() (which is 512), otherwise it can the still got out of bounds.

speakup: Avoid crash on very long word

2024-04-11T12:32:53+00:00

In case a console is set up really large and contains a really long word (> 256 characters), we have to stop before the length of the word buffer.

accessibility: speakup: phonetic spelling while arrowing letter by letter

2022-11-23T18:47:15+00:00

This patch includes an enhancement requested frequently on the mailing list.[1][2] It adds a variable, cur_phonetic in the spk_vars, which can be set as a module parameter, as well as in /sys/speakup/cur_phonetic. This patch also documents cur_phonetic as a sysfs attribute in sysfs-driver-speakup. When cur_phonetic=1, it causes speakup to speak letters phonetically if paused on the character while arrowing through a word. When a user does not set cur_phonetic to any value, the default value for it would be 0.
