<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>mm, treewide: rename MAX_ORDER to MAX_PAGE_ORDER</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive.  This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.

To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

Including; add missing documentation for function arguments, re-ordering
of #defines i.e. not placed between kerneldoc headers and the functions
they are documenting, demotion of file header/comment from kerneldoc
format and removal of documentation for non-existent args.

<title>compat_ioctl: use correct compat_ptr() translation in drivers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:01b8bca81e181ccca475e1fdb92ebb00d9d9b547</id>
<content type='text'>
A handful of drivers all have a trivial wrapper around their ioctl
handler, but don't call the compat_ptr() conversion function at the
moment. In practice this does not matter, since none of them are used
on the s390 architecture and for all other architectures, compat_ptr()
does not do anything, but using the new compat_ptr_ioctl()
helper makes it more correct in theory, and simplifies the code.

I checked that all ioctl handlers in these files are compatible
and take either pointer arguments or no argument.

 "Here is the "big" driver core and debugfs changes for 5.3-rc1

  It's a lot of different patches, all across the tree due to some api
  changes and lots of debugfs cleanups.

  Other than the debugfs cleanups, in this set of changes we have:

   - bus iteration function cleanups

   - scripts/get_abi.pl tool to display and parse Documentation/ABI
     entries in a simple way

   - cleanups to Documenatation/ABI/ entries to make them parse easier
     due to typos and other minor things

   - default_attrs use for some ktype users

   - driver model documentation file conversions to .rst

   - compressed firmware file loading

   - deferred probe fixes

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with a bunch of
  merge issues that Stephen has been patient with me for"

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.

 "Another round of SPDX header file fixes for 5.2-rc4

  These are all more "GPL-2.0-or-later" or "GPL-2.0-only" tags being
  added, based on the text in the files. We are slowly chipping away at
  the 700+ different ways people tried to write the license text. All of
  these were reviewed on the spdx mailing list by a number of different
  people.

  We now have over 60% of the kernel files covered with SPDX tags:
	$ ./scripts/spdxcheck.py -v 2&gt;&amp;1 | grep Files
	Files checked:            64533
	Files with SPDX:          40392
	Files with errors:            0

  I think the majority of the "easy" fixups are now done, it's now the
  start of the longer-tail of crazy variants to wade through"

<title>genwqe: Prevent an integer overflow in the ioctl</title>

<id>urn:sha1:110080cea0d0e4dfdb0b536e7f8a5633ead6a781</id>
<content type='text'>
There are a couple potential integer overflows here.

	round_up(m-&gt;size + (m-&gt;addr &amp; ~PAGE_MASK), PAGE_SIZE);

The first thing is that the "m-&gt;size + (...)" addition could overflow,
and the second is that round_up() overflows to zero if the result is
within PAGE_SIZE of the type max.

In this code, the "m-&gt;size" variable is an u64 but we're saving the
result in "map_size" which is an unsigned long and genwqe_user_vmap()
takes an unsigned long as well.  So I have used ULONG_MAX as the upper
bound.  From a practical perspective unsigned long is fine/better than
trying to change all the types to u64.
