lib/xz: use size_t instead of uint32_t in a few places

2026-07-14T04:48:02+00:00

Reduce the number of uint32_t <-> size_t conversions a little. Eliminating such conversions entirely would require changing almost all uint32_t to size_t, which would look confusing and increase the sizes of the structs even more. Going the other way, converting everything to uint32_t, isn't possible because the input and output buffers use size_t in struct xz_buf. Now both arguments to min() have the same type. This is required to for compatibility with PowerPC boot code[1] whose min() is strict like include/linux/minmax.h was before the commit d03eba99f5bf ("minmax: allow min()/max()/clamp() if the arguments have the same signedness."). Swap the order of the "state" and "len" in struct lzma_dec to avoid padding in the middle of the struct when size_t is 64 bits. The reordering doesn't change the size of the struct; the padding just appears at the end instead. dict_flush() used to truncate size_t to uint32_t when returning. This wasn't a bug; the value is always small enough.

lib/xz: replace min_t with min

2026-07-14T04:47:59+00:00

Use the simpler min() macro since the values are unsigned and compatible. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20260609150030.634570-1-lasse.collin@tukaani.org Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum Reviewed-by: Lasse Collin Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

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

lib/xz: remove dead IA-64 (Itanium) support code

2025-11-12T18:00:15+00:00

Support for the IA-64 (Itanium) architecture was removed in commit cf8e8658100d ("arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture"). This patch drops the IA-64 specific decompression code from lib/xz, which was conditionally compiled with the now-obsolete CONFIG_XZ_DEC_IA64 option.

move asm/unaligned.h to linux/unaligned.h

2024-10-02T21:23:23+00:00

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h; might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header. auto-generated by the following: for i in `git grep -l -w asm/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done for i in `git grep -l -w asm-generic/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm-generic\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done git mv include/asm-generic/unaligned.h include/linux/unaligned.h git mv tools/include/asm-generic/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h sed -i -e "/unaligned.h/d" include/asm-generic/Kbuild sed -i -e "s/__ASM_GENERIC/__LINUX/" include/linux/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h

xz: remove XZ_EXTERN and extern from functions

2024-09-02T03:43:27+00:00

XZ_EXTERN was used to make internal functions static in the preboot code. However, in other decompressors this hasn't been done. On x86-64, this makes no difference to the kernel image size. Omit XZ_EXTERN and let some of the internal functions be extern in the preboot code. Omitting XZ_EXTERN from include/linux/xz.h fixes warnings in "make htmldocs" and makes the intradocument links to xz_dec functions work in Documentation/staging/xz.rst. The alternative would have been to add "XZ_EXTERN" to c_id_attributes in Documentation/conf.py but omitting XZ_EXTERN seemed cleaner.

xz: add RISC-V BCJ filter

2024-09-02T03:43:26+00:00

A later commit updates lib/decompress_unxz.c to enable this filter for kernel decompression. lib/decompress_unxz.c is already used if CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT=y && CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=y. This filter can be used by Squashfs without modifications to the Squashfs kernel code (only needs support in userspace Squashfs-tools).
