Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00Z

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. 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

kernel.h: drop hex.h and update all hex.h users

2026-01-21T03:44:19Z

Remove from and update all users/callers of hex.h interfaces to directly #include as part of the process of putting kernel.h on a diet. Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to pay the price of parsing hex.h for the roughly 120 C source files that need it. This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes. Also, all users/callers of in the entire source tree have been updated if needed (if not already #included).

selinux: add support for BPF token access control

2026-01-13T20:42:37Z

BPF token support was introduced to allow a privileged process to delegate limited BPF functionality—such as map creation and program loading—to an unprivileged process: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20231130185229.2688956-1-andrii@kernel.org/ This patch adds SELinux support for controlling BPF token access. With this change, SELinux policies can now enforce constraints on BPF token usage based on both the delegating (privileged) process and the recipient (unprivileged) process. Supported operations currently include: - map_create - prog_load High-level workflow: 1. An unprivileged process creates a VFS context via `fsopen()` and obtains a file descriptor. 2. This descriptor is passed to a privileged process, which configures BPF token delegation options and mounts a BPF filesystem. 3. SELinux records the `creator_sid` of the privileged process during mount setup. 4. The unprivileged process then uses this BPF fs mount to create a token and attach it to subsequent BPF syscalls. 5. During verification of `map_create` and `prog_load`, SELinux uses `creator_sid` and the current SID to check policy permissions via: avc_has_perm(creator_sid, current_sid, SECCLASS_BPF, BPF__MAP_CREATE, NULL); The implementation introduces two new permissions: - map_create_as - prog_load_as At token creation time, SELinux verifies that the current process has the appropriate `*_as` permission (depending on the `allowed_cmds` value in the bpf_token) to act on behalf of the `creator_sid`. Example SELinux policy: allow test_bpf_t self:bpf { map_create map_read map_write prog_load prog_run map_create_as prog_load_as }; Additionally, a new policy capability bpf_token_perms is added to ensure backward compatibility. If disabled, previous behavior ((checks based on current process SID)) is preserved.
