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.

Here is the "big" driver core and debugfs changes for 5.3-rc1
It's a lot of different patches, all across the tree due to some api
changes and lots of debugfs cleanups. Because of this, there is going
to be some merge issues with your tree at the moment, I'll follow up
with the expected resolutions to make it easier for you.
Other than the debugfs cleanups, in this set of changes we have:
- bus iteration function cleanups (will cause build warnings
with s390 and coresight drivers in your tree)
- scripts/get_abi.pl tool to display and parse Documentation/ABI
entries in a simple way
- cleanups to Documenatation/ABI/ entries to make them parse
easier due to typos and other minor things
- default_attrs use for some ktype users
- driver model documentation file conversions to .rst
- compressed firmware file loading
- deferred probe fixes
All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with a bunch of merge
issues that Stephen has been patient with me for. Other than the merge
issues, functionality is working properly in linux-next :)

The of_find_device_by_node() takes a reference to the underlying device
structure, we should release that reference.
The implementation of this semantic code search is:
In a function, for a local variable returned by calling
of_find_device_by_node(),
a, if it is released by a function such as
put_device()/of_dev_put()/platform_device_put() after the last use,
it is considered that there is no reference leak;
b, if it is passed back to the caller via
dev_get_drvdata()/platform_get_drvdata()/get_device(), etc., the
reference will be released in other functions, and the current function
also considers that there is no reference leak;
c, for the rest of the situation, the current function should release the
reference by calling put_device, this code search will report the
corresponding error message.
By using this semantic code search, we have found some object reference leaks,
such as:
commit 11907e9d35 ("ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: fix object reference leaks in
fsl_asoc_card_probe")
commit a12085d139 ("mtd: rawnand: atmel: fix possible object reference leak")
commit 11493f2685 ("mtd: rawnand: jz4780: fix possible object reference leak")
There are still dozens of reference leaks in the current kernel code.
Further, for the case of b, the object returned to other functions may also
have a reference leak, we will continue to develop other cocci scripts to
further check the reference leak.

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.
