<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>perf: arm_spe: Properly set hw.state on failures</title>

<content type='text'>
When arm_spe_pmu_next_off() fails to calculate a valid limit, it returns
zero to indicate that tracing should not start.  However, the caller
arm_spe_perf_aux_output_begin() does not propagate this failure by
updating hwc-&gt;state, cause the error to be silently ignored by upper
layers.

Because hwc-&gt;state remains zero after a failure, arm_spe_pmu_start()
continues to programs filter registers unnecessarily.  The driver
still reports success to the perf core, so the core assumes the SPE
event was enabled and proceeds to enable other events.  This breaks
event group semantics: SPE is already stopped while other events in the
same group are enabled.

Fix this by updating arm_spe_perf_aux_output_begin() to return a status
code indicating success (0) or failure (-EIO).  Both the interrupt
handler and arm_spe_pmu_start() check the return value and call
arm_spe_pmu_stop() to set PERF_HES_STOPPED in hwc-&gt;state.

In the interrupt handler, the period (e.g., period_left) needs to be
updated, so PERF_EF_UPDATE is passed to arm_spe_pmu_stop().  When the
error occurs during event start, the trace unit is not yet enabled, so
a flag '0' is used to drain buffer and update state only.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "These are the arm64 updates for 6.19.

  The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/.
  There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd
  (similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us
  to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write
  fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with
  preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and
  several cleanups/typos.

  Summary:

  Core features:

   - Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring)
     driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API

  Perf and PMU:

   - Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs

   - Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support
     for NVIDIA implementations

   - Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect

   - Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs

   - Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver

   - Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver

  Memory managemennt:

   - Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault

   - Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid

   - Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros

   - Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping()

   - Propagate return value from __change_memory_common()

  ACPI and EFI:

   - Call EFI runtime services without disabling preemption

   - Remove unused ACPI function

  Miscellaneous:

   - ptrace support to disable streaming on SME-only systems

   - Improve sysreg generation to include a 'Prefix' descriptor

   - Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__

   - Align register dumps in the kselftest zt-test

   - Remove some no longer used macros/functions

   - Various spelling corrections"

SPE_FEAT_FDS adds the ability to filter on the data source of packets.
Like the other existing filters, enable filtering with PMSFCR_EL1.FDS
when any of the filter bits are set.

Each bit position of the 64 bit filter maps to numerical data sources
0-63 described by bits[0:5] in the data source packet (although the full
range of data source is 16 bits so higher value data sources can't be
filtered on). The filter is an OR of all the filter bits, so for example
clearing filter bits 0 and 3 only includes packets from data sources 0
OR 3.

Invert the filter given by userspace so that the default value of 0 is
equivalent to including all values (no filtering). This allows us to
skip adding a new format bit to enable filtering and still support
excluding all data sources which would have been a filter value of 0 if
not for the inversion.

FEAT_SPE_EFT (optional from Armv9.4) adds mask bits for the existing
load, store and branch filters. It also adds two new filter bits for
SIMD and floating point with their own associated mask bits. The current
filters only allow OR filtering on samples that are load OR store etc,
and the new mask bits allow setting part of the filter to an AND, for
example filtering samples that are store AND SIMD. With mask bits set to
0, the OR behavior is preserved, so the unless any masks are explicitly
set old filters will behave the same.

Add them all and make them behave the same way as existing format bits,
hidden and return EOPNOTSUPP if set when the feature doesn't exist.

FEAT_SPE_EFT (optional from Armv9.4) adds mask bits for the existing
load, store and branch filters. It also adds two new filter bits for
SIMD and floating point with their own associated mask bits. The current
filters only allow OR filtering on samples that are load OR store etc,
and the new mask bits allow setting part of the filter to an AND, for
example filtering samples that are store AND SIMD. With mask bits set to
0, the OR behavior is preserved, so the unless any masks are explicitly
set old filters will behave the same.

Add them all and make them behave the same way as existing format bits,
hidden and return EOPNOTSUPP if set when the feature doesn't exist.

Expose an "event_filter" entry in the caps folder to inform user space
about which events can be filtered.

Change the return type of arm_spe_pmu_cap_get() from u32 to u64 to
accommodate the added event filter entry.
