<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>

<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 *".

There are a gazillion files that depend on drm_print.h being indirectly
included via drm_buddy.h, drm_mm.h, or ttm/ttm_resource.h. In
preparation for removing those includes, explicitly include drm_print.h
where needed.

Plumb the format info from .fb_create() all the way to
drm_helper_mode_fill_fb_struct() to avoid the redundant
lookup.

For the fbdev case a manual drm_get_format_info() lookup
is needed.

Soon all drivers should have the format info already available in the
places where they call drm_helper_mode_fill_fb_struct(). Allow it to
be passed along into drm_helper_mode_fill_fb_struct() instead of doing
yet another redundant lookup.

Start by always passing in NULL and still doing the extra lookup.
The actual changes to avoid the lookup will follow.

<title>drm: Pass pixel_format+modifier directly to drm_get_format_info()</title>

Decouple drm_get_format_info() from struct drm_mode_fb_cmd2 and just
pass the pixel format+modifier combo in by hand.

We may want to use drm_get_format_info() outside of the normal
addfb paths where we won't have a struct drm_mode_fb_cmd2, and
creating a temporary one just for this seems silly.

<title>drm/armada: Implement fbdev emulation as in-kernel client</title>

<id>63c381552f69d188fe1e705515251c52bb07449c</id>
<content type='text'>
Move code from ad-hoc fbdev callbacks into DRM client functions
and remove the old callbacks. The functions instruct the client
to poll for changed output or restore the display. The DRM core
calls both, the old callbacks and the new client helpers, from
the same places. The new functions perform the same operation as
before, so there's no change in functionality.

Replace all code that initializes or releases fbdev emulation
throughout the driver. Instead initialize the fbdev client by a
single call to armada_fbdev_setup() after armada has registered its
DRM device. As in most drivers, aramda's fbdev emulation now acts
like a regular DRM client.

The fbdev client setup consists of the initial preparation and the
hot-plugging of the display. The latter creates the fbdev device
and sets up the fbdev framebuffer. The setup performs display
hot-plugging once. If no display can be detected, DRM probe helpers
re-run the detection on each hotplug event.

A call to drm_dev_unregister() releases the client automatically.
No further action is required within armada. If the fbdev framebuffer
has been fully set up, struct fb_ops.fb_destroy implements the
release. For partially initialized emulation, the fbdev client
reverts the initial setup.

<content type='text'>
Spelling out _unlocked for each and every driver is a annoying.
Especially if we consider how many drivers, do not know (or need to)
about the horror stories involving struct_mutex.

Just drop the suffix. It makes the API cleaner.

Done via the following script:

__from=drm_gem_object_put_unlocked
__to=drm_gem_object_put
for __file in $(git grep --name-only $__from); do
  sed -i  "s/$__from/$__to/g" $__file;

While touching the list of include files group them and sort them.
Fix fallout from the header file removal.
