<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 *".

It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)
due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not
change the former (unlike the latter). This patch has no effect
on runtime behavior.

The recent change of -funsigned-char causes additions of negative
numbers to become additions of large positive numbers, leading to wrong
calculations of mouse movement. Change these casts to be explicitly
signed, to take into account negative offsets.

psmouse-&gt;name "Focaltech Touchpad" is an overkill. In xinput it is too long
as "FocaltechPS/2 Focaltech Focaltech Touchpad"

In focaltech_report_state() pointer to psmouse-&gt;dev is already stored as
*dev

We get 1 warning when building kernel with W=1:
drivers/input/mouse/focaltech.c:393:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'focaltech_set_resolution' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

In fact, this function is only used in the file in which it is
declared and don't need a declaration, but can be made static.
So this patch marks it 'static'.

<content type='text'>
The fact that we were calling focaltech_init() even when Focaltech support
is disabled was confusing. Rearrange the code so that if support is
disabled we continue to fall through the rest of protocol probing code
until we get to full reset that Focaltech devices need to work properly.

Also, replace focaltech_init() with a stub now that it is only called when
protocol is enabled.

Focaltech touchpads report finger width in packet[5] of absolute packet.
Range for width in raw format is 0x10 - 0x70. Second half-byte is always 0.
0xff is reported, when a large contact area is detected.
This can be handled in userspace.

<content type='text'>
Apparently, the threshold for large contact area seems to be rather low on
some devices, causing the touchpad to frequently freeze during normal
usage. Because we do now know how we are supposed to use the value in
question, this commit just drops the related code completely.
