<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 *".

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

hrtimer_setup() takes the callback function pointer as argument and
initializes the timer completely.

Replace hrtimer_init() and the open coded initialization of
hrtimer::function with the new setup mechanism.

Patch was created by using Coccinelle.

<title>leds: trigger: pattern: Add support for hrtimer</title>

Currently, led pattern trigger uses timer_list to schedule brightness
changing. As we know from timer_list API [1], it's not accurate to
milliseconds and depends on HZ granularity.

Example:
"0 10 0 0 50 10 50 0 100 10 100 0 150 10 150 0 200 10 200 0 250 10 250 0",
we expect it to be 60ms long, but it can actually be up to ~120ms
(add ~10ms for each pattern when HZ == 100).

But sometimes, userspace needs time accurate led patterns to make sure
that pattern will be executed during expected time slot.
To achieve this goal the patch introduces optional hrtimer usage for
led trigger pattern, because hrtimer is microseconds accurate timer.

<title>treewide: Convert del_timer*() to timer_shutdown*()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:292a089d78d3e2f7944e60bb897c977785a321e3</id>
<content type='text'>
Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are
shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added
called "shutdown".  After a timer is set to this state, then it can no
longer be re-armed.

The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where
del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the
object holding the timer is freed.  It also ignores any locations where
the timer-&gt;function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(),
as that is not considered a "trivial" case.

This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following
commands:

    $ cat timer.cocci
    @@
    expression ptr, slab;
    identifier timer, rfield;
    @@
    (
    -       del_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    |
    -       del_timer_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    )
      ... when strict
          when != ptr-&gt;timer
    (
            kfree_rcu(ptr, rfield);
    |
            kmem_cache_free(slab, ptr);
    |
            kfree(ptr);
    )

    $ spatch timer.cocci . &gt; /tmp/t.patch
    $ patch -p1 &lt; /tmp/t.patch
