I met below error during boot with i915 builtin if pass
"i915.mitigations=off":
[    0.015589] Booting kernel: `off' invalid for parameter `i915.mitigations'

The reason is slab subsystem isn't ready at that time, so kstrdup()
returns NULL. Fix this issue by using stack var instead of kstrdup().

Fixes: 984cadea032b ("drm/i915: Allow the sysadmin to override security mitigations")

I don't think strncpy() guarantees that the string is properly
terminated.

Also commit b1b6bed3b503 ("usb: core: fix quirks_param_set() writing to
a const pointer") looks broken as well given your findings, and
arch/um/drivers/virtio_uml.c seems to suffer from this as well.
kernel/params.c itself seems to have some slab_is_available() magic
around kmalloc().

I used the following cocci snippet to find these:
@find@
identifier O, F;
position PS;
@@
struct kernel_param_ops O = {
...,
        .set = F@PS
,...
};

@alloc@
identifier ALLOC =~ "^k.*(alloc|dup)";
identifier find.F;
position PA;
@@
F(...) {
<+...
ALLOC@PA(...)
...+>
}

@script:python depends on alloc@
ps << find.PS;
pa << alloc.PA;
@@
coccilib.report.print_report(ps[0], "struct")
coccilib.report.print_report(pa[0], "alloc")

That could of course miss a bunch more if they allocate
via some other function I didn't consider.

wow thank you so much. I will send out patches to fix them as well.

Nice cocci script.

Just tried the "usbcore.quirks" with usb builtin, I can't reproduce the
issue. Futher investigation shows that device_param_cb() macro is the
key, or the "6" in __level_param_cb(name, ops, arg, perm, 6) is the key.
While i915.mitigations uses module_param_cb_unsafe(), in which the level
will be "-1"

arch/um/drivers/virtio_uml.c also makes use of device_param_cb()

thanks
