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

s390: Remove KMSG_COMPONENT macro

2025-11-24T10:45:21Z

The KMSG_COMPONENT macro is a leftover of the s390 specific "kernel message catalog" which never made it upstream. Remove the macro in order to get rid of a pointless indirection. Replace all users with the string it defines. In almost all cases this leads to a simple replacement like this: - #define KMSG_COMPONENT "appldata" - #define pr_fmt(fmt) KMSG_COMPONENT ": " fmt + #define pr_fmt(fmt) "appldata: " fmt Except for some special cases this is just mechanical/scripted work.

s390/sclp: Add timeout to Store Data requests

2024-07-01T15:47:01Z

Due to a bug in some firmware versions, Store Data requests might not get an event response in certain situations. As a result, the boot process will be blocked indefinitely. Fix this by introducing timeout handling for Store Data requests. In case a timeout occurs, the Store Data operation is halted and no data is retrieved from the SCLP facility. Note: A minority of installed systems rely on Store Data result for device auto-configuration. These systems will fail to boot in case of a Store Data timeout and will need to be switched to manual device configuration as workaround.
