Commit 292db66afd20 ("ACPICA: Unbreak tools build after switching over
to strscpy_pad()") added an #ifdef based on a __KERNEL__ check which is
sort of nasty to the acpi_ut_safe_strncpy() definition to unbreak ACPICA
tools builds broken by commit 97f7d3f9c9ac ("ACPICA: Replace strncpy()
with strscpy_pad() in acpi_ut_safe_strncpy()").  However, that #ifdef
effectively produces dead code when tools are built because they don't
call acpi_ut_safe_strncpy().

Accordingly, drop the existing definition of acpi_ut_safe_strncpy() and
define it as a strscpy_pad() alias.

<title>mm: add comments for allocation helpers explaining why they are macros</title>

<content type='text'>
A number of allocation helper functions were converted into macros to
account them at the call sites.  Add a comment for each converted
allocation helper explaining why it has to be a macro and why we typecast
the return value wherever required.  The patch also moves
acpi_os_acquire_object() closer to other allocation helpers to group them
together under the same comment.  The patch has no functional changes.

<id>2c321f3f70bc284510598f712b702ce8d60c4d14</id>
<content type='text'>
Main goal of memory allocation profiling patchset is to provide accounting
that is cheap enough to run in production.  To achieve that we inject
counters using codetags at the allocation call sites to account every time
allocation is made.  This injection allows us to perform accounting
efficiently because injected counters are immediately available as opposed
to the alternative methods, such as using _RET_IP_, which would require
counter lookup and appropriate locking that makes accounting much more
expensive.  This method requires all allocation functions to inject
separate counters at their call sites so that their callers can be
individually accounted.  Counter injection is implemented by allocation
hooks which should wrap all allocation functions.

Inlined functions which perform allocations but do not use allocation
hooks are directly charged for the allocations they perform.  In most
cases these functions are just specialized allocation wrappers used from
multiple places to allocate objects of a specific type.  It would be more
useful to do the accounting at their call sites instead.  Instrument these
helpers to do accounting at the call site.  Simple inlined allocation
wrappers are converted directly into macros.  More complex allocators or
allocators with documentation are converted into _noprof versions and
allocation hooks are added.  This allows memory allocation profiling
mechanism to charge allocations to the callers of these functions.
