<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

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>

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>riscv: fix KUnit test_kprobes crash when building with Clang</title>

<id>641ecc890038f08af160bdff5183b6b42d2313b5</id>
<content type='text'>
Clang misinterprets the placement of test_kprobes_addresses and
test_kprobes_functions arrays when they are not explicitly assigned
to a data section. This can lead to kmalloc_array() allocation
errors and KUnit failures.

When testing the Clang-compiled code in QEMU, this warning was emitted:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 3000 at mm/page_alloc.c:5159 __alloc_frozen_pages_noprof+0xe6/0x2fc mm/page_alloc.c:5159

Further investigation revealed that the test_kprobes_addresses array
appeared to have over 100,000 elements, including invalid addresses;
whereas, according to test-kprobes-asm.S, test_kprobes_addresses
should only have 25 elements.

When compiling the kernel with GCC, the kernel boots correctly.

This patch fixes the issue by adding .section .rodata to explicitly
place arrays in the read-only data segment.

For detailed debug and analysis, see:
https://github.com/j1akai/temp/blob/main/20251113/readme.md

v1 -&gt; v2：
- Drop changes to .align, and .globl.

<title>riscv: kprobes: convert one final __ASSEMBLY__ to __ASSEMBLER__</title>

Per the reasoning in commit f811f58597ac ("riscv: Replace __ASSEMBLY__
with __ASSEMBLER__ in non-uapi headers"), convert one last remaining
instance of __ASSEMBLY__ in the arch/riscv kprobes code.  This entered
the tree from patches that were sent before Thomas' changes; and when
I reviewed the kprobes patches before queuing them, I missed this
instance.

Add KUnit test for riscv kprobes, mostly for simulated instructions. The
test install kprobes into multiple sample functions, and check that these
functions still return the expected magic value.

This test can detect some kprobe bugs reported in the past (in Link:).
