treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28Z

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

x86: Restrict KVM-induced symbol exports to KVM modules where obvious/possible

2025-11-12T23:29:38Z

Extend KVM's export macro framework to provide EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM(), and use the helper macro to export symbols for KVM throughout x86 if and only if KVM will build one or more modules, and only for those modules. To avoid unnecessary exports when CONFIG_KVM=m but kvm.ko will not be built (because no vendor modules are selected), let arch code #define EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM to suppress/override the exports. Note, the set of symbols to restrict to KVM was generated by manual search and audit; any "misses" are due to human error, not some grand plan.

x86/sgx: Introduce functions to count the sgx_(vepc_)open()

2025-10-16T21:42:08Z

Currently, when SGX is compromised and the microcode update fix is applied, the machine needs to be rebooted to invalidate old SGX crypto-assets and make SGX be in an updated safe state. It's not friendly for the cloud. To avoid having to reboot, a new ENCLS[EUPDATESVN] is introduced to update SGX environment at runtime. This process needs to be done when there's no SGX users to make sure no compromised enclaves can survive from the update and allow the system to regenerate crypto-assets. For now there's no counter to track the active SGX users of host enclave and virtual EPC. Introduce such counter mechanism so that the EUPDATESVN can be done only when there's no SGX users. Define placeholder functions sgx_inc/dec_usage_count() that are used to increment and decrement such a counter. Also, wire the call sites for these functions. Encapsulate the current sgx_(vepc_)open() to __sgx_(vepc_)open() to make the new sgx_(vepc_)open() easy to read. The definition of the counter itself and the actual implementation of sgx_inc/dec_usage_count() functions come next. Note: The EUPDATESVN, which may fail, will be done in sgx_inc_usage_count(). Make it return 'int' to make subsequent patches which implement EUPDATESVN easier to review. For now it always returns success.

x86/sgx: Break up long non-preemptible delays in sgx_vepc_release()

2023-09-06T21:55:09Z

On large enclaves we hit the softlockup warning with following call trace: xa_erase() sgx_vepc_release() __fput() task_work_run() do_exit() The latency issue is similar to the one fixed in: 8795359e35bc ("x86/sgx: Silence softlockup detection when releasing large enclaves") The test system has 64GB of enclave memory, and all is assigned to a single VM. Release of 'vepc' takes a longer time and causes long latencies, which triggers the softlockup warning. Add cond_resched() to give other tasks a chance to run and reduce latencies, which also avoids the softlockup detector.

x86/sgx/virt: implement SGX_IOC_VEPC_REMOVE ioctl

2021-10-22T15:32:12Z

For bare-metal SGX on real hardware, the hardware provides guarantees SGX state at reboot. For instance, all pages start out uninitialized. The vepc driver provides a similar guarantee today for freshly-opened vepc instances, but guests such as Windows expect all pages to be in uninitialized state on startup, including after every guest reboot. Some userspace implementations of virtual SGX would rather avoid having to close and reopen the /dev/sgx_vepc file descriptor and re-mmap the virtual EPC. For example, they could sandbox themselves after the guest starts and forbid further calls to open(), in order to mitigate exploits from untrusted guests. Therefore, add a ioctl that does this with EREMOVE. Userspace can invoke the ioctl to bring its vEPC pages back to uninitialized state. There is a possibility that some pages fail to be removed if they are SECS pages, and the child and SECS pages could be in separate vEPC regions. Therefore, the ioctl returns the number of EREMOVE failures, telling userspace to try the ioctl again after it's done with all vEPC regions. A more verbose description of the correct usage and the possible error conditions is documented in sgx.rst.

x86/sgx/virt: extract sgx_vepc_remove_page

2021-10-22T15:30:09Z

For bare-metal SGX on real hardware, the hardware provides guarantees SGX state at reboot. For instance, all pages start out uninitialized. The vepc driver provides a similar guarantee today for freshly-opened vepc instances, but guests such as Windows expect all pages to be in uninitialized state on startup, including after every guest reboot. One way to do this is to simply close and reopen the /dev/sgx_vepc file descriptor and re-mmap the virtual EPC. However, this is problematic because it prevents sandboxing the userspace (for example forbidding open() after the guest starts; this is doable with heavy use of SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor passing). In order to implement this, we will need a ioctl that performs EREMOVE on all pages mapped by a /dev/sgx_vepc file descriptor: other possibilities, such as closing and reopening the device, are racy. Start the implementation by creating a separate function with just the __eremove wrapper.
