LiME v1.12.0

16 commits since v1.11.0 (March 23–24, 2026)

Bug Fixes (kernel module)

Hash / digest subsystem (hash.c)

• Fix multi-page vmalloc digest corruption — only the last page was being hashed
• Fix crypto_digest_update passing byte length instead of nsg count
• Fix memory leak: digest_value was never freed in ldigest_clean
• Fix uninitialized digestsize on kernels 2.6.11–2.6.18
• Fix NULL dereference in ldigest_clean when crypto_alloc fails
• Add NULL checks on output and digest_value allocations

TCP subsystem (tcp.c)

• Fix sizeof(struct iovec) used on a struct kvec variable
• Fix socket leak: pre-allocated socket was overwritten by kernel_accept

Core module (main.c)

• Fix ldigest_clean extern return type mismatch (int vs void)
• Fix wrong format specifier %zu for signed ssize_t
• Fix missing __get_free_page and kmalloc NULL checks
• Fix resource leaks in init() error paths
• Fix no_overlap set even when digest init fails

Code Quality

• Centralize all extern declarations in lime.h
• Remove redundant includes and duplicate externs across files
• Extract create_tcp_sock() helper to deduplicate socket creation in tcp.c
• Replace strcpy/strcat chain with snprintf in hash.c
• Refactor init() error paths to goto-based cleanup pattern
• Fix () vs (void) inconsistencies, declaration-after-statement issues, mixed indentation

REUSE / SPDX Compliance

• Add SPDX license headers to all source and script files
• Add REUSE.toml for machine-readable license metadata
• Replace monolithic LICENSE file with LICENSES/GPL-2.0-only.txt

Documentation

• Rename doc/ → docs/
• Rewrite and clarify README.md (updated usage examples, parameter descriptions, sidecar digest naming)
• Add docs/test-architecture.md describing the CI and test framework design
• Fix missing "padded" label in docs/README.md parameter description

CI / Testing

• Add GitHub Actions multi-kernel compile-test workflow (build-test.yml) covering multiple kernel versions
• Add sparse static analysis and QEMU smoke tests
• Add pre-commit hooks (trailing whitespace, markdown lint, flawfinder, codespell, REUSE)
• Add test/ directory with Dockerfile, kernel prep scripts, initramfs builder, and smoke-test harness
• Update actions/cache to v5; fix objtool preservation during kernel tree stripping
• Remove kernel 4.15 from CI matrix after extensive attempts to fix its toolchain incompatibilities
