Pull debugobjects fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A single fix for debugobjects.

  The deferred page initialization prevents debug objects from
  allocating slab pages until the initialization is complete. That
  causes depletion of the pool and disabling of debugobjects.

  The reason is that debugobjects uses __GFP_HIGH for allocations as it
  might be invoked from arbitrary contexts. When PREEMPT_COUNT is
  disabled there is no way to know whether the context is safe to set
  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

  This worked until v6.18. Since then allocations w/o a reclaim flag
  cause new_slab() to end up in alloc_frozen_pages_nolock_noprof(),
  which returns early when deferred page initialization has not yet
  completed.

  Work around that when PREEMPT_COUNT is enabled as the preempt counter
  allows debugobjects to add __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to the GFP flags when
  the context is preemtible. When PREEMPT_COUNT is disabled the context
  is unknown and the reclaim bit can't be set because the caller might
  hold locks which might deadlock in the allocator.

  That makes debugobjects depend on PREEMPT_COUNT ||
  !DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, which limits the coverage slightly, but
  keeps it functional for most cases"

Using a prerelease version as a minimum supported version for
CONFIG_WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS was reasonable to do while LLVM 22 was the
development version so that people could immediately build from main and
start testing and validating this in their own code. However, it can be
problematic when using prerelease versions of LLVM 22, such as Android
clang 22.0.1 (the current android mainline compiler) or when bisecting
LLVM between llvmorg-22-init and llvmorg-23-init, to build the kernel,
as all compiler fixes for the context analysis may not be present,
potentially resulting in warnings that can easily turn into errors.

Now that LLVM 22 is released as 22.1.0, upgrade the check to require at
least this version to ensure that a user's toolchain actually has all
the changes needed for a smooth experience with context analysis.

<title>Remove WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM kernel config option</title>

<id>7dff99b354601dd01829e1511711846e04340a69</id>
<content type='text'>
This config option goes way back - it used to be an internal debug
option to random.c (at that point called DEBUG_RANDOM_BOOT), then was
renamed and exposed as a config option as CONFIG_WARN_UNSEEDED_RANDOM,
and then further renamed to the current CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM.

It was all done with the best of intentions: the more limited
rate-limited reports were reporting some cases, but if you wanted to see
all the gory details, you'd enable this "ALL" option.

However, it turns out - perhaps not surprisingly - that when people
don't care about and fix the first rate-limited cases, they most
certainly don't care about any others either, and so warning about all
of them isn't actually helping anything.

And the non-ratelimited reporting causes problems, where well-meaning
people enable debug options, but the excessive flood of messages that
nobody cares about will hide actual real information when things go
wrong.

I just got a kernel bug report (which had nothing to do with randomness)
where two thirds of the the truncated dmesg was just variations of

   random: get_random_u32 called from __get_random_u32_below+0x10/0x70 with crng_init=0

and in the process early boot messages had been lost (in addition to
making the messages that _hadn't_ been lost harder to read).

The proper way to find these things for the hypothetical developer that
cares - if such a person exists - is almost certainly with boot time
tracing.  That gives you the option to get call graphs etc too, which is
likely a requirement for fixing any problems anyway.

See Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst for that option.

And if we for some reason do want to re-introduce actual printing of
these things, it will need to have some uniqueness filtering rather than
this "just print it all" model.

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.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

<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.
