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

cpufreq: Make drivers using CPUFREQ_ETERNAL specify transition latency

2025-10-01T11:56:24+00:00

Commit a755d0e2d41b ("cpufreq: Honour transition_latency over transition_delay_us") caused platforms where cpuinfo.transition_latency is CPUFREQ_ETERNAL to get a very large transition latency whereas previously it had been capped at 10 ms (and later at 2 ms). This led to a user-observable regression between 6.6 and 6.12 as described by Shawn: "The dbs sampling_rate was 10000 us on 6.6 and suddently becomes 6442450 us (4294967295 / 1000 * 1.5) on 6.12 for these platforms because the default transition delay was dropped [...]. It slows down dbs governor's reacting to CPU loading change dramatically. Also, as transition_delay_us is used by schedutil governor as rate_limit_us, it shows a negative impact on device idle power consumption, because the device gets slightly less time in the lowest OPP." Evidently, the expectation of the drivers using CPUFREQ_ETERNAL as cpuinfo.transition_latency was that it would be capped by the core, but they may as well return a default transition latency value instead of CPUFREQ_ETERNAL and the core need not do anything with it. Accordingly, introduce CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_TRANSITION_LATENCY_NS and make all of the drivers in question use it instead of CPUFREQ_ETERNAL. Also update the related Rust binding.

2025-04-10T04:39:03+00:00

cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() can return NULL when the target CPU is not present in the policy->cpus mask. scpi_cpufreq_get_rate() does not check for this case, which results in a NULL pointer dereference.

cpufreq: Init cpufreq only for present CPUs

2025-03-17T05:59:18+00:00

for_each_possible_cpu() is currently used to initialize cpufreq. However, in cpu_dev_register_generic(), for_each_present_cpu() is used to register CPU devices which means the CPU devices are only registered for present CPUs and not all possible CPUs. With nosmp or maxcpus=0, only the boot CPU is present, lead to the cpufreq probe failure or defer probe due to no cpu device available for not present CPUs. Change for_each_possible_cpu() to for_each_present_cpu() in the above cpufreq drivers to ensure it only registers cpufreq for CPUs that are actually present.

cpufreq: scpi: compare kHz instead of Hz

2025-02-06T03:34:30+00:00

The CPU rate from clk_get_rate() may not be divisible by 1000 (e.g., 133333333). But the rate calculated from frequency(kHz) is always divisible by 1000 (e.g., 133333000). Comparing the rate causes a warning during CPU scaling: "cpufreq: __target_index: Failed to change cpu frequency: -5". When we choose to compare kHz here, the issue does not occur.

cpufreq: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-10-28T11:24:39+00:00

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers. Convert all platform drivers below drivers/cpufreq to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

cpufreq: scpi: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2023-07-20T10:32:12+00:00

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.
