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

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>

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 *".

Sparse reports that calling add_device_randomness() on `uid` is a
violation of address spaces. And indeed the next usage uses readl()
properly, but that was left out when passing it toadd_device_
randomness(). So instead copy the whole thing to the stack first.

Commit c31e73121f4c ("base: soc: Handle custom soc information sysfs
entries") introduced custom soc attribute group in soc_device_attribute
structure but there are no users treewide. While trying to understand
the motivation and tried to use it, it was found lot of existing custom
attributes can moved to use it instead of device_create_file.

Though most of these never remove/cleanup the custom attribute as they
never call soc_device_unregister, using these custom attribute group
eliminate the need for any cleanup as the driver infrastructure will
take care of that.

Let us remove device_create_file and start using the custom attribute
group in soc_device_attribute.

As the ux500 id code is basically a standalone driver, we can move it
out of the arch code into drivers/soc/ux500.

This is a user-visible change, as it moves all the devices in sysfs
from /sys/devices/soc0/ to /sys/devices/ and leaves the soc0 node as a
separate device.

Originally the idea was to put all on-chip devices under the soc node,
and ux500 was the first platform to have this device, but later platforms
almost all didn't follow that pattern, so this makes the platform do
the same thing as everyone else.

Since the platform is really obsolete now, I am optimistic that nothing
will break after moving the devices around.

As the SoC driver no longer has access to the private header files,
I'm changing the code to instead look up the address of the backupram
from devicetree, which is a good idea anyway.

Finally, having a separate Kconfig symbol means the driver is now
optional and could even be a loadable module rather than always being
built-in if we allowed that for soc_device.
