<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 *".

Enable context analysis for crypto subsystem.

This demonstrates a larger conversion to use Clang's context
analysis. The benefit is additional static checking of locking rules,
along with better documentation.

Note the use of the __acquire_ret macro how to define an API where a
function returns a pointer to an object (struct scomp_scratch) with a
lock held. Additionally, the analysis only resolves aliases where the
analysis unambiguously sees that a variable was not reassigned after
initialization, requiring minor code changes.

<title>crypto: api - Redo lookup on EEXIST</title>

When two crypto algorithm lookups occur at the same time with
different names for the same algorithm, e.g., ctr(aes-generic)
and ctr(aes), they will both be instantiated.  However, only one
of them can be registered.  The second instantiation will fail
with EEXIST.

Avoid failing the second lookup by making it retry, but only once
because there are tricky names such as gcm_base(ctr(aes),ghash)
that will always fail, despite triggering instantiation and EEXIST.

The negative-sense of CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS is a longstanding
mistake that regularly causes confusion.  Especially bad is that you can
have CRYPTO=n &amp;&amp; CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS=n, which is ambiguous.

Replace CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS with CRYPTO_SELFTESTS which has the
expected behavior.

The tests continue to be disabled by default.

Move the setting into crypto_clone_ahash and crypto_clone_shash

Add a helper to clone crypto requests and eliminate code duplication.
Use kmemdup in the helper.

Also add an fb field to crypto_tfm.

This also happens to fix the existing implementations which were
buggy.

If the bit CRYPTO_ALG_DUP_FIRST is set, an algorithm will be
duplicated by kmemdup before registration.  This is inteded for
hardware-based algorithms that may be unplugged at will.

Do not use this if the algorithm data structure is embedded in a
bigger data structure.  Perform the duplication in the driver
instead.

is a bit more cumbersome to use, but ultimately more flexible when it

Now that all the users and implementations have been removed, let's
remove the core plumbing of the 'comp' API as well.
