Pull memblock updates from Mike Rapoport:

 - improve debuggability of reserve_mem kernel parameter handling with
   print outs in case of a failure and debugfs info showing what was
   actually reserved

 - Make memblock_free_late() and free_reserved_area() use the same core
   logic for freeing the memory to buddy and ensure it takes care of
   updating memblock arrays when ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK is enabled.

It shouldn't be responsibility of memblock users to detect if they free
memory allocated from memblock late and should use memblock_free_late().

Make memblock_free() and memblock_phys_free() take care of late memory
freeing and drop memblock_free_late().

Move init function from OF_DECLARE() argument to the given reserved
memory region ops structure and then pass that structure to the
OF_DECLARE() initializer. This node_init callback is mandatory for the
reserved mem driver. Such change makes it possible in the future to add
more functions called by the generic code before given memory region is
initialized and rmem object is created.

<title>dma: swiotlb: add KMSAN annotations to swiotlb_bounce()</title>

<id>6f770b73d0311a5b099277653199bb6421c4fed2</id>
<content type='text'>
When a device performs DMA to a bounce buffer, KMSAN is unaware of
the write and does not mark the data as initialized.  When
swiotlb_bounce() later copies the bounce buffer back to the original
buffer, memcpy propagates the uninitialized shadow to the original
buffer, causing false positive uninit-value reports.

Fix this by calling kmsan_unpoison_memory() on the bounce buffer
before copying it back in the DMA_FROM_DEVICE path, so that memcpy
naturally propagates initialized shadow to the destination.

<title>dma-mapping: Separate DMA sync issuing and completion waiting</title>

<id>d7eafe655b741dfc241d5b920f6d2cea45b568d9</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, arch_sync_dma_for_cpu and arch_sync_dma_for_device
always wait for the completion of each DMA buffer. That is,
issuing the DMA sync and waiting for completion is done in a
single API call.

For scatter-gather lists with multiple entries, this means
issuing and waiting is repeated for each entry, which can hurt
performance. Architectures like ARM64 may be able to issue all
DMA sync operations for all entries first and then wait for
completion together.

To address this, arch_sync_dma_for_* now batches DMA operations
and performs a flush afterward. On ARM64, the flush is implemented
with a dsb instruction in arch_sync_dma_flush(). On other
architectures, arch_sync_dma_flush() is currently a nop.

<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>

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 *".
