Some hardware monitoring chips support update intervals below one
millisecond. The existing update_interval attribute uses millisecond
granularity, which causes sub-millisecond steps to round to the same
value and become inaccessible from userspace.

Introduce update_interval_us, a companion chip-level attribute that
expresses the same update interval in microseconds. Drivers
implementing this attribute should also implement update_interval for
compatibility with millisecond-based userspace interfaces.

<title>thermal: hwmon: Use extra_groups for adding temperature attributes</title>

Instead of passing NULL as the last argument to __hwmon_device_register()
in hwmon_device_register_for_thermal() and then adding each temperature
sysfs attribute to the hwmon device via device_create_file(), redefine
hwmon_device_register_for_thermal() to take an extra_groups argument
that will be passed to __hwmon_device_register(), define an attribute
group with a proper .is_visible() callback for the temperature
attributes and a related attribute groups pointer, and pass the latter
to hwmon_device_register_for_thermal().

This causes the code to be way more straightforward and closer to
what the other users of the hwmon subsystem do.

No intentional functional impact.

<title>hwmon: Add label support for 64-bit energy attributes</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 0bcd01f757bc ("hwmon: Introduce 64-bit energy attribute
support"), devices can report 64-bit energy values by selecting the
sensor type "energy64". However, such sensors can't report their labels
since is_string_attr() was not updated to match it.

Add label support for 64-bit energy attributes by updating
is_string_attr() to match hwmon_energy64 in addition to hwmon_energy.

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

<id>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>

<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 *".

Use sysfs_emit() over sprintf() to prevent potential overflows. In
hwmon_attr_show() that is totally impossible but looking other places
many still use sysfs_emit().

Also according Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst code should use
sysfs_emit().

Currently if user of *sanitize_name() function gives nullptr for name
they get's ENOMEM. Logically it should be EINVAL.

Implement locking in the hardware monitoring core for drivers using
the _with_info() API functions.

Most hardware monitoring drivers need to support locking to protect
against parallel accesses from userspace. With older API functions, such
locking had to be implemented in the driver code since sysfs attributes
were created by the driver. However, the _with_info() API creates sysfs
attributes in the hardware monitoring core. This makes it easy to move
the locking primitives into that code. This has the benefit of simplifying
driver code while at the same time reducing the risk of incomplete of bad
locking implementations in hardware monitoring drivers.

While this means that all accesses are forced to be synchronized, this
has little if any practical impact since accesses are expected to be low
frequency and are typically synchronized from userspace anyway since
only a single process is accessing the data. On top of that, many drivers
use regmap, which also has its own locking scheme and already serializes
accesses.

<title>hwmon: Introduce 64-bit energy attribute support</title>

Many chips require 64-bit variables to display the accumulated energy,
even more so since the energy units are micro-Joule. Add new sensor type
"energy64" to support reporting the chip energy as 64-bit values.

Changing the entire hardware monitoring API is not feasible, and it is only
really necessary to support reading 64-bit values for the "energyX_input"
attribute. For this reason, keep the API as-is and use type casts on both
ends to pass 64-bit pointers when reading the accumulated energy. On the
write side (which is only useful for the energyX_enable attribute), keep
passing the written value as long.
