cpumask_empty() is more efficient as it may return earlier.

Switch to using it.

<title>Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments</title>

<content type='text'>
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

<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 *".

<content type='text'>
Several drivers can benefit from registering per-instance data along
with the syscore operations. To achieve this, move the modifiable fields
out of the syscore_ops structure and into a separate struct syscore that
can be registered with the framework. Add a void * driver data field for
drivers to store contextual data that will be passed to the syscore ops.

<title>thermal: intel: hfi: Give HFI instances package scope</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b755367602d70deade956cbe0b8a3f5a12f569dc</id>
<content type='text'>
The Intel Software Developer's Manual defines the scope of HFI (registers
and memory buffer) as a package. Use package scope(*) in the software
representation of an HFI instance.

Using die scope in HFI instances has the effect of creating multiple
conflicting instances for the same package: each instance allocates its
own memory buffer and configures the same package-level registers.
Specifically, only one of the allocated memory buffers can be set in the
MSR_IA32_HW_FEEDBACK_PTR register. CPUs get incorrect HFI data from the
table.

The problem does not affect current HFI-capable platforms because they
all have single-die processors.

(*) We used die scope for HFI instances because there had been
    processors with packages enumerated as dies. None of those systems
    supported HFI, though. If such a system emerged, it would need to
    be quirked.

<title>thermal: intel: hfi: Increase the number of CPU capabilities per netlink event</title>

<id>urn:sha1:608fa8523563d8a2ee0dd832311f034d6326e2af</id>
<content type='text'>
The number of updated CPU capabilities per netlink event is hard-coded to
16. On systems with more than 16 CPUs (a common case), it takes more than
one thermal netlink event to relay all the new capabilities after an HFI
interrupt. This adds unnecessary overhead to both the kernel and user space
entities.

Increase the number of CPU capabilities updated per event to 64. Any system
with 64 CPUs or less can now update all the capabilities in a single
thermal netlink event.

<content type='text'>
When processing a hardware update, HFI generates as many thermal netlink
events as needed to relay all the updated CPU capabilities to user space.
The constant HFI_MAX_THERM_NOTIFY_COUNT is the number of CPU capabilities
updated per each of those events.

Give this constant a more descriptive name.
