<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 *".

can_change_mtu() became obsolete by commit 23049938605b ("can: populate the
minimum and maximum MTU values"). Now that net_device-&gt;min_mtu and
net_device-&gt;max_mtu are populated, all the checks are already done by
dev_validate_mtu() in net/core/dev.c.

Remove the net_device_ops-&gt;ndo_change_mtu() callback of all the physical
interfaces, then remove can_change_mtu(). Only keep the vcan_change_mtu()
and vxcan_change_mtu() because the virtual interfaces use their own
different MTU logic.

The only functional change this patch introduces is that now the user will
be able to change the MTU even if the interface is up. This does not matter
for Classical CAN and CAN FD because their MTU range is composed of only
one value, respectively CAN_MTU and CANFD_MTU. For the upcoming CAN XL, the
MTU will be configurable within the CANXL_MIN_MTU to CANXL_MAX_MTU range at
any time, even if the interface is up. This is consistent with the other
net protocols and does not contradict ISO 11898-1:2024 as having a
modifiable MTU is a kernel extension.

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all can drivers to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop
struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have
the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure
member name in the driver initializer.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from
emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve
here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first
step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already
returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() is
renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

In commit a6d190f8c767 ("can: skb: drop tx skb if in listen only
mode") the priv-&gt;ctrlmode element is read even on virtual CAN
interfaces that do not create the struct can_priv at startup. This
out-of-bounds read may lead to CAN frame drops for virtual CAN
interfaces like vcan and vxcan.

This patch mainly reverts the original commit and adds a new helper
for CAN interface drivers that provide the required information in
struct can_priv.

Currently, some CAN drivers support hardware timestamping, some do
not. But userland has no method to query which features are supported
(aside maybe of getting RX messages and observe whether or not
hardware timestamps stay at zero).

The canonical way for a network driver to advertised what kind of
timestamping it supports is to implement ethtool_ops::get_ts_info().

This patch only targets the CAN drivers which *do not* support
hardware timestamping.  For each of those CAN drivers, implement the
get_ts_info() using the generic ethtool_op_get_ts_info().

This way, userland can do:

| $ ethtool --show-time-stamping canX

to confirm the device timestamping capacities.

N.B. the drivers which support hardware timestamping will be migrated
in separate patches.
