<title>Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments</title>

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

<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>

<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 *".

Passing a variable string as the format to dev_set_name() causes a W=1 warning:

Use a literal "%s" instead so the name can be the argument.

<title>EDAC: Add a memory repair control feature</title>

<id>urn:sha1:699ea5219c4b1d9d8819eb2d99e51a3fdb7b1d7b</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a generic EDAC memory repair control driver to manage memory repairs in
the system, such as CXL Post Package Repair (PPR) and other soft and hard PPR
features.

For example, a CXL device with DRAM components that support PPR features may
implement PPR maintenance operations. DRAM components may support two types of
PPR:

 - hard PPR, for a permanent row repair, and
 - soft PPR,  for a temporary row repair.

Soft PPR is much faster than hard PPR, but the repair is lost with a power
cycle.

When a CXL device detects an error in a memory, it may report the need for
a repair maintenance operation by using an event record where the "maintenance
needed" flag is set. The event records contain the device physical
address (DPA) and other optional attributes of the memory to repair.

The kernel will report the corresponding CXL general media or DRAM trace event
to userspace, and userspace tools (e.g. rasdaemon) will initiate a repair
operation in response to the device request via the sysfs repair control.

Device with memory repair features registers with EDAC device driver, which
retrieves a memory repair descriptor from EDAC memory repair driver and exposes
the sysfs repair control attributes to userspace in

  /sys/bus/edac/devices/&lt;dev-name&gt;/mem_repairX/.

The common memory repair control interface abstracts the control of arbitrary
memory repair functionality into a standardized set of functions.  The sysfs
memory repair attribute nodes are only available if the client driver has
implemented the corresponding attribute callback function and provided
operations to the EDAC device driver during registration.

<title>EDAC: Add a Error Check Scrub control feature</title>

<content type='text'>
Add an Error Check Scrub (ECS) control to manage a memory device's ECS
feature.

The ECS is a feature defined in JEDEC DDR5 SDRAM Specification (JESD79-5) and
allows the DRAM to internally read, correct single-bit errors, and write back
corrected data bits to the DRAM array while providing transparency to error
counts.

The DDR5 device contains a number of memory media Field Replaceable Units
(FRU) per device. The DDR5 ECS feature and thus the ECS control driver
supports configuring the ECS parameters per FRU.

Memory devices support the ECS feature register with the EDAC device driver,
which retrieves the ECS descriptor from the EDAC ECS driver.  This driver
exposes sysfs ECS control attributes to userspace via

  /sys/bus/edac/devices/&lt;dev-name&gt;/ecs_fruX/.

The common sysfs ECS control interface abstracts the control of an arbitrary
ECS functionality to a common set of functions.

Support for the ECS feature is added separately because the control attributes
of the DDR5 ECS feature differ from those of the scrub feature.

The sysfs ECS attribute nodes are only present if the client driver has
implemented the corresponding attribute callback function and passed the
necessary operations to the EDAC RAS feature driver during registration.
