Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\

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

ACPI: configfs: Make get_header() to return error pointer

ACPI: configfs: Use sysfs_emit() in "show" functions

2021-07-16T17:20:28+00:00

The sysfs_emit() function was introduced to make it less ambiguous which function is preferred when writing to the output buffer in a "show" callback [1]. Convert the GPIO library sysfs interface from sprintf() to sysfs_emit() accordingly, as the latter is aware of the PAGE_SIZE buffer and correctly returns the number of bytes written into the buffer. No functional change intended. [1] Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPI: configfs: Replace ACPI_INFO() with pr_debug()

2021-05-24T14:30:31+00:00

The ACPI_INFO() macro is used for message printing in the ACPICA code. ACPI_INFO() will be empty if the ACPICA debug is not enabled, so replace it with pr_debug(). Also remove the not needed ACPICA header file inclusions to decouple from ACPICA. Signed-off-by: Hanjun Guo [ rjw: Changelog edits ] Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPI: configfs: add missing check after configfs_register_default_group()

2021-01-22T15:35:34+00:00

A list_add corruption is reported by Hulk Robot like this: ============== list_add corruption.

ACPI: configfs: Add missing config_item_put() to fix refcount leak

2020-09-25T16:08:39+00:00

config_item_put() should be called in the drop_item callback, to decrement refcount for the config item. Fixes: 772bf1e2878ec ("ACPI: configfs: Unload SSDT on configfs entry removal") Signed-off-by: Hanjun Guo [ rjw: Subject edit ] Cc: 4.13+ # 4.13+ Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPI: configfs: Disallow loading ACPI tables when locked down

2020-06-22T14:41:27+00:00

Like other vectors already patched, this one here allows the root user to load ACPI tables, which enables arbitrary physical address writes, which in turn makes it possible to disable lockdown. Prevents this by checking the lockdown status before allowing a new ACPI table to be installed. The link in the trailer shows a PoC of how this might be used.

ACPICA: make acpi_load_table() return table index

2019-10-28T21:12:46+00:00

ACPICA commit d1716a829d19be23277d9157c575a03b9abb7457 For unloading an ACPI table, it is necessary to provide the index of the table. The method intended for dynamically loading or hotplug addition of tables, acpi_load_table(), should provide this information via an optional pointer to the loaded table index. This patch fixes the table unload function of acpi_configfs.
