<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>

<id>69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<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 *".

<title>crypto: lib/mpi - use min() instead of min_t()</title>

min_t(unsigned int, a, b) casts an 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned int'.
Use min(a, b) instead as it promotes any 'unsigned int' to 'unsigned long'
and so cannot discard significant bits.

In this case the 'unsigned long' value is small enough that the result
is ok.

Detected by an extra check added to min_t().

Fix build warnings with W=1 that started appearing after
commit a934a57a42f6 ("scripts/misc-check: check missing #include
&lt;linux/export.h&gt; when W=1").

While at it, also sort the include lists alphabetically.  (Keep
asm/irqflags.h last, as otherwise it doesn't build on alpha.)

This handles all of lib/crypto/, but not arch/*/lib/crypto/.  The
exports in arch/*/lib/crypto/ will go away when the code is properly
integrated into lib/crypto/ as planned.

This function is part of the exposed API and should be exported.
Otherwise a modular user would fail to build, e.g., crypto/rsa.

This partially reverts commit a8ea8bdd9df92a0e5db5b43900abb7a288b8a53e.

Most of it is no longer needed since sm2 has been removed.  However,
the following functions have been kept as they have developed other
uses:

mpi_copy

mpi_mod

mpi_test_bit
mpi_set_bit
mpi_rshift

mpi_add
mpi_sub
mpi_addm
mpi_subm

mpi_mul
mpi_mulm
