net: remove ax25 and amateur radio (hamradio) subsystem

2026-04-23T17:24:02+00:00

Remove the amateur radio (AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE) protocol implementation and all associated hamradio device drivers from the kernel tree. This set of protocols has long been a huge bug/syzbot magnet, and since nobody stepped up to help us deal with the influx of the AI-generated bug reports we need to move it out of tree to protect our sanity. The code is moved to an out-of-tree repo: https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan if it's cleaned up and reworked there we can accept it back. Minimal stub headers are kept for include/net/ax25.h (AX25_P_IP, AX25_ADDR_LEN, ax25_address) and include/net/rose.h (ROSE_ADDR_LEN) so that the conditional integration code in arp.c and tun.c continues to compile and work when the out-of-tree modules are loaded.

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

treewide: use get_random_{u8,u16}() when possible, part 1

2022-10-11T23:42:58+00:00

Rather than truncate a 32-bit value to a 16-bit value or an 8-bit value, simply use the get_random_{u8,u16}() functions, which are faster than wasting the additional bytes from a 32-bit value. This was done mechanically with this coccinelle script: @@ expression E; identifier get_random_u32 =~ "get_random_int|prandom_u32|get_random_u32"; typedef u16; typedef __be16; typedef __le16; typedef u8; @@ ( - (get_random_u32() & 0xffff) + get_random_u16() | - (get_random_u32() & 0xff) + get_random_u8() | - (get_random_u32() % 65536) + get_random_u16() | - (get_random_u32() % 256) + get_random_u8() | - (get_random_u32() >> 16) + get_random_u16() | - (get_random_u32() >> 24) + get_random_u8() | - (u16)get_random_u32() + get_random_u16() | - (u8)get_random_u32() + get_random_u8() | - (__be16)get_random_u32() + (__be16)get_random_u16() | - (__le16)get_random_u32() + (__le16)get_random_u16() | - prandom_u32_max(65536) + get_random_u16() | - prandom_u32_max(256) + get_random_u8() | - E->inet_id = get_random_u32() + E->inet_id = get_random_u16() ) @@ identifier get_random_u32 =~ "get_random_int|prandom_u32|get_random_u32"; typedef u16; identifier v; @@ - u16 v = get_random_u32(); + u16 v = get_random_u16(); @@ identifier get_random_u32 =~ "get_random_int|prandom_u32|get_random_u32"; typedef u8; identifier v; @@ - u8 v = get_random_u32(); + u8 v = get_random_u8(); @@ identifier get_random_u32 =~ "get_random_int|prandom_u32|get_random_u32"; typedef u16; u16 v; @@ - v = get_random_u32(); + v = get_random_u16(); @@ identifier get_random_u32 =~ "get_random_int|prandom_u32|get_random_u32"; typedef u8; u8 v; @@ - v = get_random_u32(); + v = get_random_u8(); // Find a potential literal @literal_mask@ expression LITERAL; type T; identifier get_random_u32 =~ "get_random_int|prandom_u32|get_random_u32"; position p; @@ ((T)get_random_u32()@p & (LITERAL)) // Examine limits @script:python add_one@ literal << literal_mask.LITERAL; RESULT; @@ value = None if literal.startswith('0x'): value = int(literal, 16) elif literal[0] in '123456789': value = int(literal, 10) if value is None: print("I don't know how to handle %s" % (literal)) cocci.include_match(False) elif value < 256: coccinelle.RESULT = cocci.make_ident("get_random_u8") elif value < 65536: coccinelle.RESULT = cocci.make_ident("get_random_u16") else: print("Skipping large mask of %s" % (literal)) cocci.include_match(False) // Replace the literal mask with the calculated result. @plus_one@ expression literal_mask.LITERAL; position literal_mask.p; identifier add_one.RESULT; identifier FUNC; @@ - (FUNC()@p & (LITERAL)) + (RESULT() & LITERAL) Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: Yury Norov Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski Acked-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen # for sch_cake Signed-off-by: Jason A.

treewide: use prandom_u32_max() when possible, part 1

2022-10-11T23:42:55+00:00

Rather than incurring a division or requesting too many random bytes for the given range, use the prandom_u32_max() function, which only takes the minimum required bytes from the RNG and avoids divisions.

hamradio: use ndo_siocdevprivate

hamradio uses a set of private ioctls that do seem to work correctly in compat mode, as they only rely on the ifr_data pointer. Move them over to the ndo_siocdevprivate callback as a cleanup.
