<title>net: wwan: t7xx: validate port_count against message length in t7xx_port_enum_msg_handler</title>

t7xx_port_enum_msg_handler() uses the modem-supplied port_count field as
a loop bound over port_msg-&gt;data[] without checking that the message buffer
contains sufficient data. A modem sending port_count=65535 in a 12-byte
buffer triggers a slab-out-of-bounds read of up to 262140 bytes.

Add a sizeof(*port_msg) check before accessing the port message header
fields to guard against undersized messages.

Add a struct_size() check after extracting port_count and before the loop.

In t7xx_parse_host_rt_data(), guard the rt_feature header read with a
remaining-buffer check before accessing data_len, validate feat_data_len
against the actual remaining buffer to prevent OOB reads and signed
integer overflow on offset.

Pass msg_len from both call sites: skb-&gt;len at the DPMAIF path after
skb_pull(), and the validated feat_data_len at the handshake path.

<title>Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments</title>

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

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

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 *".

Support NMEA port emulation for the WWAN core GNSS port testing purpose.
Emulator produces pair of GGA + RMC sentences every second what should
be enough to fool gpsd into believing it is working with a NMEA GNSS
receiver.

If the GNSS system is enabled then one NMEA port will be created
automatically for the simulated WWAN device. Manual NMEA port creation
is not supported at the moment.

Just introduced WWAN NMEA port type needs a testing option. The WWAN HW
simulator was developed with the AT port type in mind and cannot be

types.

No big functional changes, mostly renaming with a little code
rearrangement.

Many WWAN modems come with embedded GNSS receiver inside and have a
dedicated port to output geopositioning data. On the one hand, the
GNSS receiver has little in common with WWAN modem and just shares a
host interface and should be exported using the GNSS subsystem. On the
other hand, GNSS receiver is not automatically activated and needs a
generic WWAN control port (AT, MBIM, etc.) to be turned on. And a user
space software needs extra information to find the control port.

Introduce the new type of WWAN port - NMEA. When driver asks to register
a NMEA port, the core allocates common parent WWAN device as usual, but
exports the NMEA port via the GNSS subsystem and acts as a proxy between
the device driver and the GNSS subsystem.

From the WWAN device driver perspective, a NMEA port is registered as a
regular WWAN port without any difference. And the driver interacts only
with the WWAN core. From the user space perspective, the NMEA port is a
GNSS device which parent can be used to enumerate and select the proper
control port for the GNSS receiver management.

Upcoming GNSS (NMEA) port type support requires exporting it via the
GNSS subsystem. On another hand, we still need to do basic WWAN core
work: call the port stop operation, purge queues, release the parent
WWAN device, etc. To reuse as much code as possible, split the port
unregistering function into the deregistration of a regular WWAN port
device, and the common port tearing down code.

In order to keep more code generic, break the device_unregister() call
into device_del() and put_device(), which release the port memory
uniformly.

Upcoming GNSS (NMEA) port type support requires exporting it via the

work: find or allocate the WWAN device, make it the port parent, etc. To
reuse as much code as possible, split the port creation function into
the registration of a regular WWAN port device, and basic port struct
initialization.

To be able to use put_device() uniformly, break the device_register()
call into device_initialize() and device_add() and call device
initialization earlier.

While at it, fix a minor number leak upon WWAN port registration
failure.

Upcoming GNSS (NMEA) port type support requires exporting it via the
GNSS subsystem. On another hand, we still need to do basic WWAN core
work: find or allocate the WWAN device, make it the port parent, etc. To
reuse as much code as possible, split the port creation function into
the registration of a regular WWAN port device, and basic port struct
initialization.

To be able to use put_device() uniformly, break the device_register()
call into device_initialize() and device_add() and call device
initialization earlier.

While at it, fix a minor number leak upon WWAN port registration
failure.
