Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 1/5] tracing/osnoise: Replace kmalloc + copy_from_user with memdup_user_nul
Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2025 11:24:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251009152420.583914074@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20251009152359.604267051@kernel.org
From: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>
Replace kmalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user_nul() to
simplify and improve osnoise_cpus_write(). Remove the manual
NUL-termination.
No functional changes intended.
