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

<id>urn:sha1:32a92f8c89326985e05dce8b22d3f0aa07a3e1bd</id>
<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>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>fbdev: arkfb: Cast ics5342_init() allocation type</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ede481f6dad47d40b7e561cfbc6c04286a9faf1a</id>
<content type='text'>
In preparation for making the kmalloc family of allocators type aware,
we need to make sure that the returned type from the allocation matches
the type of the variable being assigned. (Before, the allocator would
always return "void *", which can be implicitly cast to any pointer type.)

The assigned type is "struct dac_info *" but the returned type will be
"struct ics5342_info *", which has a larger allocation size. This is
by design, as struct ics5342_info contains struct dac_info as its first
member.

<title>fbcon: Increase maximum font width x height to 64 x 128</title>

<content type='text'>
By using bitmaps we actually support whatever size we would want, but
the console currently limits fonts to 64x128 (which gives 60x16 text on
4k screens), so we don't need more for now, and we can easily increase
later.

<title>fbdev/arkfb: Initialize fb_ops to fbdev I/O-memory helpers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7421a6303edc13cf3b54c465c6848bdd440e51b7</id>
<content type='text'>
Initialize the instance of struct fb_ops with fbdev initializer
macros for framebuffers in I/O address space. Set the read/write,
draw and mmap callbacks to the correct implementation and avoid
implicit defaults. Also select the necessary I/O helpers in Kconfig.

Fbdev drivers sometimes rely on the callbacks being NULL for a
default implementation to be invoked; hence requiring the I/O
helpers to be built in any case. Setting all callbacks in all
drivers explicitly will allow to make the I/O helpers optional.
This benefits systems that do not use these functions.

No functional changes.

<title>fbdev: Add support for the nomodeset kernel parameter</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0ba2fa8cbd29278a180ac90bd66b2c0bbdeacc89</id>
<content type='text'>
Support the kernel's nomodeset parameter for all PCI-based fbdev
drivers that use aperture helpers to remove other, hardware-agnostic
graphics drivers.

The parameter is a simple way of using the firmware-provided scanout
buffer if the hardware's native driver is broken. The same effect
could be achieved with per-driver options, but the importance of the
graphics output for many users makes a single, unified approach
worthwhile.

With nomodeset specified, the fbdev driver module will not load. This
unifies behavior with similar DRM drivers. In DRM helpers, modules
first check the nomodeset parameter before registering the PCI
driver. As fbdev has no such module helpers, we have to modify each
driver individually.

The name 'nomodeset' is slightly misleading, but has been chosen for
historical reasons. Several drivers implemented it before it became a
general option for DRM. So keeping the existing name was preferred over
introducing a new one.

v2:
	* print a warning if a driver does not init (Helge)
	* wrap video_firmware_drivers_only() in helper

In the function arkfb_set_par(), the value of 'screen_size' is
calculated by the user input. If the user provides the improper value,
the value of 'screen_size' may larger than 'info-&gt;screen_size', which
may cause the following bug:

[  659.399066] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc90003000000

Fix the this by checking the value of 'screen_size' before memset_io().

<content type='text'>
Since the user can control the arguments of the ioctl() from the user
space, under special arguments that may result in a divide-by-zero bug
in:
  drivers/video/fbdev/arkfb.c:784: ark_set_pixclock(info, (hdiv * info-&gt;var.pixclock) / hmul);
with hdiv=1, pixclock=1 and hmul=2 you end up with (1*1)/2 = (int) 0.
and then in:
  drivers/video/fbdev/arkfb.c:504: rv = dac_set_freq(par-&gt;dac, 0, 1000000000 / pixclock);
we'll get a division-by-zero.

The following log can reveal it:

divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
RIP: 0010:ark_set_pixclock drivers/video/fbdev/arkfb.c:504 [inline]

Fix this by checking the argument of ark_set_pixclock() first.
