<title>net: microchip: vcap: use port number instead of netdev name for debugfs</title>

sparx5_vcap_init() runs before sparx5_register_netdevs() in probe, and
its debugfs setup calls vcap_port_debugfs() for every port using
netdev_name(ndev) as the debugfs file name. At that point the netdevs
have only been allocated, not registered, so dev-&gt;name still holds the
"eth%d" template and netdev_name() returns "(unnamed net_device)".
Every port tries to create the same file under vcaps/, producing a
flood of warnings at boot:

  debugfs: '(unnamed net_device)' already exists in 'vcaps'
  debugfs: '(unnamed net_device)' already exists in 'vcaps'
  ...

Add vcap_port_debugfs_portno(), a variant of vcap_port_debugfs() that
takes the port's stable hardware port number and uses "p%u" as the
debugfs file name instead of netdev_name(ndev). This makes the file
name independent of registration order; the file still stores and
later dereferences the netdev itself, same as before. sparx5 already
reports the same "p%d" string via ndo_get_phys_port_name(), so the
debugfs name now matches that.

Only sparx5 (and lan969x, which shares this code) is switched to the
new function. lan966x keeps calling vcap_port_debugfs() unchanged, so
this fix does not rename any of its existing debugfs files.

<title>net: microchip: vcap api: Fix possible memory leak in vcap_decode_rule()</title>

<content type='text'>
The memory allocated for struct vcap_rule_internal, keyfields and
actionfields inside vcap_dup_rule() are not freed in some of the error
paths in vcap_decode_rule(). Fix that by calling vcap_free_rule().

Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
built on top of the LLVM compiler infrastructure.

<title>net: microchip: vcap: fix races on the shared Super VCAP block</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d7a8d500d7e42837bd8dce40cb52c97c6e8706a9</id>
<content type='text'>
The VCAP instances on a chip are not independent, yet they are locked
independently. On sparx5 and lan969x the IS0 and IS2 instances are
backed by the same Super VCAP hardware block and share its cache and
command registers: every access drives the shared VCAP_SUPER_CTRL
register and moves data through the shared cache registers.

Accessing one instance therefore races with accessing another. The
per-instance admin-&gt;lock cannot prevent this, as each instance takes a
different lock.

The locking issue is mostly disguised by the fact that the core usage of
the vcap api runs under rtnl. However, the full rule dump in debugfs
decodes rules straight from hardware (a READ command followed by a cache
read) and runs outside rtnl, so it races a concurrent tc-flower rule
write to another Super VCAP instance.

Besides corrupting the dump, the read repopulates the shared cache
between the writers cache fill and its write command, so the writer
commits the wrong data and corrupts the hardware entry.

Introduce vcap_lock() and vcap_unlock() helpers and route every rule
lock site in the VCAP API and its debugfs code through them. Replace the
per-instance admin-&gt;lock with a single mutex in struct vcap_control that
serializes access to all instances. The helpers reach it through a new
admin-&gt;vctrl back-pointer, and the clients initialise and destroy the
control lock instead of a per-instance one.

No path holds more than one instance lock, so collapsing them onto a
single mutex cannot self-deadlock.

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

<id>urn:sha1: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 *".

VCAP API unit tests fail randomly with errors such as

   # vcap_api_iterator_init_test: EXPECTATION FAILED at drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/vcap/vcap_api_kunit.c:387
   Expected 134 + 7 == iter.offset, but

       iter.reg_bitpos == 15 (0xf)
   # vcap_api_iterator_init_test: pass:0 fail:1 skip:0 total:1

Comments in the code state that "A typegroup table ends with an all-zero
terminator". Add the missing terminators.

Some of the typegroups did have a terminator of ".offset = 0, .width = 0,
.value = 0,". Replace those terminators with "{ }" (no trailing ',') for
consistency and to excplicitly state "this is a terminator".

"struct vcap_operations" are not modified in these drivers.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.

In order to do it, "struct vcap_control" also needs to be adjusted to this
new const qualifier.

As an example, on a x86_64, with allmodconfig:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  15176	   1094	     16	  16286	   3f9e	drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/lan966x/lan966x_vcap_impl.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  15268	    998	     16	  16282	   3f9a	drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/lan966x/lan966x_vcap_impl.o
