linux-toradex.git/kernel/debug/kdb, branch v7.0-rc5 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types 2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00 Kees Cook kees@kernel.org 2026-02-21T07:49:23+00:00 69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f 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 <kees@kernel.org>

kdb: Adapt kdb_msg_write to work with NBCON consoles 2025-10-24T10:56:20+00:00 Marcos Paulo de Souza mpdesouza@suse.com 2025-10-16T14:47:58+00:00 62627bf0cadf6eae87d92fecf604c42160fe16ef Function kdb_msg_write was calling con->write for any found console, but it won't work on NBCON consoles. In this case we should acquire the ownership of the console using NBCON_PRIO_EMERGENCY, since printing kdb messages should only be interrupted by a panic. At this point, the console is required to use the atomic callback. The console is skipped if the write_atomic callback is not set or if the context could not be acquired. The validation of NBCON is done by the console_is_usable helper. The context is released right after write_atomic finishes. The oops_in_progress handling is only needed in the legacy consoles, so it was moved around the con->write callback.
