<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<title>ACPI: Fix selecting wrong ACPI fwnode for the iGPU on some Dell laptops</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f64e4275ef7407d5c3eca20436519bbd1f796e40</id>
<content type='text'>
The Dell Latitude E6430 both with and without the optional NVidia dGPU
has a bug in its ACPI tables which is causing Linux to assign the wrong
ACPI fwnode / companion to the pci_device for the i915 iGPU.

Specifically under the PCI root bridge there are these 2 ACPI Device()s :

 Scope (_SB.PCI0)
 {
     Device (GFX0)
     {
         Name (_ADR, 0x00020000)  // _ADR: Address
     }

     ...

     Device (VID)
     {
         Name (_ADR, 0x00020000)  // _ADR: Address
         ...

         Method (_DOS, 1, NotSerialized)  // _DOS: Disable Output Switching
         {
             VDP8 = Arg0
             VDP1 (One, VDP8)
         }

         Method (_DOD, 0, NotSerialized)  // _DOD: Display Output Devices
         {
             ...
         }
         ...
     }
 }

The non-functional GFX0 ACPI device is a problem, because this gets
returned as ACPI companion-device by acpi_find_child_device() for the iGPU.

This is a long standing problem and the i915 driver does use the ACPI
companion for some things, but works fine without it.

However since commit 63f534b8bad9 ("ACPI: PCI: Rework acpi_get_pci_dev()")
acpi_get_pci_dev() relies on the physical-node pointer in the acpi_device
and that is set on the wrong acpi_device because of the wrong
acpi_find_child_device() return. This breaks the ACPI video code,
leading to non working backlight control in some cases.

Add a type.backlight flag, mark ACPI video bus devices with this and make
find_child_checks() return a higher score for children with this flag set,
so that it picks the right companion-device.

<content type='text'>
Rearrange the ACPI device lookup code used internally by
acpi_find_child_device() so it can avoid extra checks after finding
one object with a matching _ADR and use it for defining
acpi_find_child_by_adr() that will allow the callers to find a given
ACPI device's child matching a given bus address without doing any
other checks in check_one_child().

Define acpi_dev_has_children() as a wrapper around
acpi_dev_for_each_child() and use it to check if the given ACPI
device has any children instead of checking the children list
head in struct acpi_device.

This will help to eliminate the children list head from struct
acpi_device as it is redundant and it is used in questionable ways
in some places (in particular, locking is needed for walking the
list pointed to it safely, but it is often missing).

Instead of walking the list of children of an ACPI device directly,
use acpi_dev_for_each_child() to carry out an action for all of
the given ACPI device's children.

This will help to eliminate the children list head from struct
acpi_device as it is redundant and it is used in questionable ways
in some places (in particular, locking is needed for walking the

<id>urn:sha1:b7fbf4cebd7c693d30e258f2ce27a362848634ae</id>
<content type='text'>
Notice that it is not necessary to evaluate _STA in find_child_checks()
if the device is expected to have children, but there are none, so
move the children check to the front of the function.

Also notice that FIND_CHILD_MIN_SCORE can be returned right away if
_STA is missing, so make the function do so.

Finally, replace the ternary operator in the return statement argument
with an if () and a standalone return which is somewhat easier to
follow.

Merge updates of the code associating ACPI device objects with
devices and PNP code, processor driver, and Intel LPSS driver updates
for 5.16-rc1:

 - Make the association of ACPI device objects with PCI devices more
   straightforward and simplify the code doing that for all devices
   in general (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Use acpi_device_adr() in acpi_find_child_device() instead of
   evaluating _ADR (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Drop duplicate device IDs from PNP device IDs list (Krzysztof
   Kozlowski).

 - Allow acpi_idle_play_dead() to use C3 on AMD processors (Richard
   Gong).

 - Use ACPI_COMPANION() to simplify code in the ACPI driver for Intel
   SoCs (Rafael Wysocki).

* acpi-glue:
  ACPI: glue: Use acpi_device_adr() in acpi_find_child_device()
  ACPI: glue: Look for ACPI bus type only if ACPI companion is not known
  ACPI: glue: Drop cleanup callback from struct acpi_bus_type
  PCI: ACPI: Drop acpi_pci_bus

* acpi-pnp:
  ACPI: PNP: remove duplicated BRI0A49 and BDP3336 entries

* acpi-processor:
  ACPI: processor idle: Allow playing dead in C3 state

* acpi-soc:
  ACPI: LPSS: Use ACPI_COMPANION() directly

Instead of evaluating _ADR in acpi_find_child_device(), use the
observation that it has already been evaluated and the value returned
by it has been stored in the pnp.type.bus_address field of the ACPI
device object at hand.
