<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>powercap: dtpm_cpu: Fix NULL pointer dereference in get_pd_power_uw()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:46dc57406887dd02565cb264224194a6776d882b</id>
<content type='text'>
The get_pd_power_uw() function can crash with a NULL pointer dereference
when em_cpu_get() returns NULL. This occurs when a CPU becomes impossible
during runtime, causing get_cpu_device() to return NULL, which propagates
through em_cpu_get() and leads to a crash when em_span_cpus() dereferences
the NULL pointer.

Add a NULL check after em_cpu_get() and return 0 if unavailable,
matching the existing fallback behavior in __dtpm_cpu_setup().

<content type='text'>
In general it's preferable to avoid placing cpumasks on the stack, as
for large values of NR_CPUS these can consume significant amounts of
stack space and make stack overflows more likely.

Use cpumask_weight_and() to avoid the need for a temporary cpumask on
the stack.

<content type='text'>
The caller of the function freq_qos_add_request() checks again a non
zero value but freq_qos_add_request() can return '1' if the request
already exists. Therefore, the setup function fails while the QoS
request actually did not failed.

Fix that by changing the check against a negative value like all the
other callers of the function.

Energy Model framework support modifications at runtime of the power
values. Use the new EM table API which is protected with RCU. Align the
code so that this RCU read section is short.

This change is not expected to alter the general functionality.

The power values coming from the Energy Model are already in uW.

The PowerCap and DTPM frameworks operate on uW, so all places should
just use the values from the EM.

Fix the code by removing all of the conversion to uW still present in it.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are mostly minor improvements all over including new CPU IDs for
  the Intel RAPL driver, an Energy Model rework to use micro-Watt as the
  power unit, cpufreq fixes and cleanus, cpuidle updates, devfreq
  updates, documentation cleanups and a new version of the pm-graph
  suite of utilities.

  Specifics:

   - Make cpufreq_show_cpus() more straightforward (Viresh Kumar).

   - Drop unnecessary CPU hotplug locking from store() used by cpufreq
     sysfs attributes (Viresh Kumar).

   - Make the ACPI cpufreq driver support the boost control interface on
     Zhaoxin/Centaur processors (Tony W Wang-oc).

   - Print a warning message on attempts to free an active cpufreq
     policy which should never happen (Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix grammar in the Kconfig help text for the loongson2 cpufreq
     driver (Randy Dunlap).

   - Use cpumask_var_t for an on-stack CPU mask in the ondemand cpufreq
     governor (Zhao Liu).

   - Add trace points for guest_halt_poll_ns grow/shrink to the haltpoll
     cpuidle driver (Eiichi Tsukata).

   - Modify intel_idle to treat C1 and C1E as independent idle states on
     Sapphire Rapids (Artem Bityutskiy).

   - Extend support for wakeirq to callback wrappers used during system
     suspend and resume (Ulf Hansson).

   - Defer waiting for device probe before loading a hibernation image
     till the first actual device access to avoid possible deadlocks
     reported by syzbot (Tetsuo Handa).

   - Unify device_init_wakeup() for PM_SLEEP and !PM_SLEEP (Bjorn
     Helgaas).

   - Add Raptor Lake-P to the list of processors supported by the Intel
     RAPL driver (George D Sworo).

   - Add Alder Lake-N and Raptor Lake-P to the list of processors for
     which Power Limit4 is supported in the Intel RAPL driver (Sumeet
     Pawnikar).

   - Make pm_genpd_remove() check genpd_debugfs_dir against NULL before
     attempting to remove it (Hsin-Yi Wang).

   - Change the Energy Model code to represent power in micro-Watts and
     adjust its users accordingly (Lukasz Luba).

   - Add new devfreq driver for Mediatek CCI (Cache Coherent
     Interconnect) (Johnson Wang).

   - Convert the Samsung Exynos SoC Bus bindings to DT schema of
     exynos-bus.c (Krzysztof Kozlowski).

   - Address kernel-doc warnings by adding the description for unused
     function parameters in devfreq core (Mauro Carvalho Chehab).

   - Use NULL to pass a null pointer rather than zero according to the
     function propotype in imx-bus.c (Colin Ian King).

   - Print error message instead of error interger value in
     tegra30-devfreq.c (Dmitry Osipenko).

   - Add checks to prevent setting negative frequency QoS limits for
     CPUs (Shivnandan Kumar).

   - Update the pm-graph suite of utilities to the latest revision 5.9
     including multiple improvements (Todd Brandt).

   - Drop pme_interrupt reference from the PCI power management
     documentation (Mario Limonciello)"
