mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()

2020-08-07T18:33:22Z

As said by Linus: A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use. Otherwise it's actively misleading. In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the caller wants. In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_. The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory objects. Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit. In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure that it won't get optimized away by the compiler. The renaming is done by using the command sequence: git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\ xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/' followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

Since 5.5-rc1 the last user of this function is gone, so remove the functionality. See commit 2ad9d7747c10 ("netfilter: conntrack: free extension area immediately") for details.

docs: driver-model: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-21T13:47:26Z

Convert the various documents at the driver-model, preparing them to be part of the driver-api book. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

coccinelle: catch krealloc() on devm_*() allocated memory

2016-06-21T09:43:32Z

krealloc() must not be used against devm_*() allocated memory regions: - if a bigger memory is to be allocated, krealloc() and __krealloc() could return a different pointer than the one given to them, creating a memory region which is not managed, thus it will not be automatically released on device removal. - if a bigger memory is to be allocated, krealloc() could kfree() the managed memory region which is passed to it. The old pointer is left registered as a resource for the device. On device removal, this dangling pointer will be used and an unrelated memory region could be released. - if the requested size is equal to 0, krealloc() can also just behave like kfree(). Here too, the old pointer is kept associated with the device. On device removal, this invalid pointer will be used and an unrelated memory region could be released. For all these reasons, krealloc() must not be used on a pointer returned by devm_*() functions.
