<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>Input: pegasus-notetaker - fix potential out-of-bounds access</title>

<id>69aeb507312306f73495598a055293fa749d454e</id>
<content type='text'>
In the pegasus_notetaker driver, the pegasus_probe() function allocates
the URB transfer buffer using the wMaxPacketSize value from
the endpoint descriptor. An attacker can use a malicious USB descriptor
to force the allocation of a very small buffer.

Subsequently, if the device sends an interrupt packet with a specific
pattern (e.g., where the first byte is 0x80 or 0x42),
the pegasus_parse_packet() function parses the packet without checking
the allocated buffer size. This leads to an out-of-bounds memory access.

Using guard notation makes the code more compact and error handling
more robust by ensuring that mutexes are released in all code paths
when control leaves critical section.

It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)
due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not
change the former (unlike the latter). This patch has no effect
on runtime behavior.

Syzbot bug: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=bbc107584dcf3262253ce93183e51f3612aaeb13

Warning raised because pegasus_driver submits transfer request for
bogus URB (pipe type does not match endpoint type). Add sanity check at
probe time for pipe value extracted from endpoint descriptor. Probe
will fail if sanity check fails.
