Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

2026-02-22T01:09:51Z

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

Merge tag 'tty-7.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty

Pull tty / serial driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the small amount of tty and serial driver updates for 7.0-rc1. Nothing major in here at all, just some driver updates and minor tweaks and cleanups including: - sh-sci serial driver updates - 8250 driver updates - attempt to make the tty ports have their own workqueue, but was reverted after testing found it to have problems on some platforms.

tty: hvc-iucv: Remove KMSG_COMPONENT macro

2026-01-16T13:32:30Z

The KMSG_COMPONENT macro is a leftover of the s390 specific "kernel message catalog" from 2008 [1] which never made it upstream. The macro was added to s390 code to allow for an out-of-tree patch which used this to generate unique message ids. Also this out-of-tree doesn't exist anymore. Remove the macro in order to get rid of a pointless indirection.

xen: introduce xen_console_io option

2026-01-14T13:43:57Z

Xen can support console_io hypercalls for any domains, not just dom0, depending on DEBUG and XSM policies. These hypercalls can be very useful for development and debugging. Introduce a kernel command line option xen_console_io to enable the usage of console_io hypercalls for any domain upon request. When xen_console_io is not specified, the current behavior is retained.

tty: hvc_console: Call hvc_kick in hvc_write unconditionally

2025-08-17T10:50:30Z

After hvc_write completes, call hvc_kick also in the case the output buffer has been drained, to ensure tty_wakeup gets called. This fixes that functions which wait for a drained buffer got stuck occasionally.
