<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>s390/dasd: Use scnprintf() instead of sprintf()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a857d99201cc4eb3cb78b9dcb6f1d027ef3ae699</id>
<content type='text'>
Use scnprintf() instead of sprintf() for those cases where the
destination is an array and the size of the array is known at compile
time.

This prevents theoretical buffer overflows, but also avoids that people
again and again spend time to figure out if the code is actually safe.

dasd_add_busid() can return an error via ERR_PTR() if an allocation
fails. However, two callsites in dasd_copy_pair_store() do not check
the result, potentially resulting in a NULL pointer dereference. Fix
this by checking the result with IS_ERR() and returning the error up
the stack.

<title>s390/dasd: Remove PRINTK_HEADER and KMSG_COMPONENT definitions</title>

<content type='text'>
PRINTK_HEADER was mainly used to prefix log messages with the module
name. Most components don't use this definition anymore. Either because
there are no log messages being generated anymore, or pr_*() were
replaced by dev_*(), which contains device and component information
already.

PRINTK_HEADER is also dropped in the function
dasd_3990_erp_handle_match_erp() in dasd_3990_erp.c from a panic() call
as panic() already provides all relevant information.

KMSG_COMPONENT was mainly used to identify a component in a long gone
kernel message catalog feature.

Remove both definition since they're either not used or alternatives
make the code slightly shorter and more readable.

couple of functions that use sprintf().

<content type='text'>
There are two variants of the device uid string. One containing the
virtual device unit information table (vduit) identifying the device as
a virtual device located on a real device in a z/VM environment. The
other variant does not contain those additional information.

Simplify the string generation with a shorter check of an existing vduit
embedded in the snprintf() calls.
