<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 *".

If ac97_add_adapter() fails, put_device() is the correct way to drop
the device reference. kfree() is not required.
Add kfree() if idr_alloc() fails and in ac97_adapter_release() to do
the cleanup.

Found by code review.

<content type='text'>
Use a newer RUNTIME_PM_OPS() macro instead of SET_RUNTIME_PM_OPS()
together with pm_ptr(), which makes CONFIG_PM ifdefs superfluous.

This optimizes slightly when CONFIG_PM is disabled, too.

<title>driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d69d804845985c29ab5be5a4b3b1f4787893daf8</id>
<content type='text'>
In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *.  This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly.  This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
move all of the sound subsystem struct bus_type structures as const,
placing them into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

Note, this fixes a duplicate definition of ac97_bus_type, which somehow
was declared extern in a .h file, and then static as a prototype in a .c
file, and then properly later on in the same .c file.  Amazing that no
compiler warning ever showed up for this.
