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 *".

uprobes: Add is_register argument to uprobe_write and uprobe_write_opcode

2025-08-21T18:09:19+00:00

The uprobe_write has special path to restore the original page when we
write original instruction back. This happens when uprobe_write detects
that we want to write anything else but breakpoint instruction.

Moving the detection away and passing it to uprobe_write as argument,
so it's possible to write different instructions (other than just
breakpoint and rest).

get_user_page_vma_remote().  We can now switch to get_user_pages_remote().

asm-generic: introduce text-patching.h

2024-11-07T22:25:15+00:00

Several architectures support text patching, but they name the header
files that declare patching functions differently.

Make all such headers consistently named text-patching.h and add an empty
header in asm-generic for architectures that do not support text patching.

ARM: 9303/1: kprobes: avoid missing-declaration warnings

2023-06-19T08:35:51+00:00

checker_stack_use_t32strd() and kprobe_handler() can be made static since
they are not used from other files, while coverage_start_registers()
and __kprobes_test_case() are used from assembler code, and just need
a declaration to avoid a warning with the global definition.

ARM: 9214/1: alignment: advance IT state after emulating Thumb instruction

2022-07-06T21:44:49+00:00

After emulating a misaligned load or store issued in Thumb mode, we have
to advance the IT state by hand, or it will get out of sync with the
actual instruction stream, which means we'll end up applying the wrong
condition code to subsequent instructions. This might corrupt the
program state rather catastrophically.

So borrow the it_advance() helper from the probing code, and use it on
CPSR if the emulated instruction is Thumb.

 "Updates for IRQ stacks and virtually mapped stack support, and ftrace:

   - Support for IRQ and vmap'ed stacks

     This covers all the work related to implementing IRQ stacks and
     vmap'ed stacks for all 32-bit ARM systems that are currently
     supported by the Linux kernel, including RiscPC and Footbridge. It
     has been submitted for review in four different waves:

      - IRQ stacks support for v7 SMP systems [0]

      - vmap'ed stacks support for v7 SMP systems[1]

      - extending support for both IRQ stacks and vmap'ed stacks for all
        remaining configurations, including v6/v7 SMP multiplatform
        kernels and uniprocessor configurations including v7-M [2]

      - fixes and updates in [3]

   - ftrace fixes and cleanups

     Make all flavors of ftrace available on all builds, regardless of
     ISA choice, unwinder choice or compiler [4]:

      - use ADD not POP where possible

      - fix a couple of Thumb2 related issues

      - enable HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST for robustness

      - enable the graph tracer with the EABI unwinder

      - avoid clobbering frame pointer registers to make Clang happy

   - Fixes for the above"

ARM: kprobes: treat R7 as the frame pointer register in Thumb2 builds

2022-02-09T08:13:59+00:00

Thumb2 code uses R7 as the frame pointer rather than R11, because the
opcodes to access it are generally shorter.

This means that there are cases where we cannot simply add it to the
clobber list of an asm() block, but need to preserve/restore it
explicitly, or the compiler may complain in some cases (e.g., Clang
builds with ftrace enabled).

Since R11 is not special in that case, clobber it instead, and use it to
preserve/restore the value of R7.
