This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

<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>crypto: zstd - fix double-free in per-CPU stream cleanup</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=48bc9da3c97c15f1ea24934bcb3b736acd30163d'/>
<id>48bc9da3c97c15f1ea24934bcb3b736acd30163d</id>
<content type='text'>
The crypto/zstd module has a double-free bug that occurs when multiple
tfms are allocated and freed.

The issue happens because zstd_streams (per-CPU contexts) are freed in
zstd_exit() during every tfm destruction, rather than being managed at
the module level.  When multiple tfms exist, each tfm exit attempts to
free the same shared per-CPU streams, resulting in a double-free.

This leads to a stack trace similar to:

  BUG: Bad page state in process kworker/u16:1  pfn:106fd93

Add the __counted_by() compiler attribute to the flexible array member
'wksp' to improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Use struct_size(), which provides additional compile-time checks for
structures with flexible array members (e.g., __must_be_array()), for
the allocation size for a new 'zstd_ctx' while we're at it.

Convert the implementation to a native acomp interface using zstd
streaming APIs, eliminating the need for buffer linearization.

This includes:
   - Removal of the scomp interface in favor of acomp
   - Refactoring of stream allocation, initialization, and handling for
     both compression and decompression using Zstandard streaming APIs
   - Replacement of crypto_register_scomp() with crypto_register_acomp()
