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

riscv: module: Fix out-of-bounds relocation access

2025-04-14T13:07:07+00:00

The current code allows rel[j] to access one element past the end of the relocation section. Simplify to num_relocations which is equivalent to the existing size expression.

riscv: module: remove relocation_head rel_entry member allocation

2025-01-08T18:22:52+00:00

relocation_head's list_head member, rel_entry, doesn't need to be allocated, its storage can just be part of the allocated relocation_head. Remove the pointer which allows to get rid of the allocation as well as an existing memory leak found by Kai Zhang using kmemleak.

riscv: extend execmem_params for generated code allocations

2024-05-14T07:31:43+00:00

The memory allocations for kprobes and BPF on RISC-V are not placed in the modules area and these custom allocations are implemented with overrides of alloc_insn_page() and bpf_jit_alloc_exec(). Define MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END as VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_END for 32 bit and slightly reorder execmem_params initialization to support both 32 and 64 bit variants, define EXECMEM_KPROBES and EXECMEM_BPF ranges in riscv::execmem_params and drop overrides of alloc_insn_page() and bpf_jit_alloc_exec().

mm/execmem, arch: convert simple overrides of module_alloc to execmem

2024-05-14T07:31:43+00:00

Several architectures override module_alloc() only to define address range for code allocations different than VMALLOC address space. Provide a generic implementation in execmem that uses the parameters for address space ranges, required alignment and page protections provided by architectures. The architectures must fill execmem_info structure and implement execmem_arch_setup() that returns a pointer to that structure. This way the execmem initialization won't be called from every architecture, but rather from a central place, namely a core_initcall() in execmem. The execmem provides execmem_alloc() API that wraps __vmalloc_node_range() with the parameters defined by the architectures. If an architecture does not implement execmem_arch_setup(), execmem_alloc() will fall back to module_alloc().
