Masami Hiramatsu (Google) 47e93045a2 tracing/probes: Fix BTF kflag check for anonymous struct member access
btf_find_struct_member() traverses into nested anonymous structures and
unions to find a struct member. However, get_bitoffset_of_field() in
trace_probe.c checked btf_type_kflag(type) using the outer parent type
instead of the actual anonymous structure/union that directly contains
the found member.

If the parent structure and anonymous structure have mismatched kflags
(e.g., the parent has kflag=0 while the anonymous structure has kflag=1
because it contains bitfields), the bitfield size encoded in the upper
8 bits of member->offset is erroneously treated as part of the byte/bit
offset, corrupting the resolved offset and failing to set last_bitsize.
Similarly, btf_find_struct_member() pushed anonymous member offsets
onto anon_stack without masking BTF_MEMBER_BIT_OFFSET() when kflag is set.

To fix this problem, update btf_find_struct_member() to return actual
containing structure/union type via member_type, use appropriate
__btf_member_bit_offset() to get bit offset, and use member_type for
btf_type_kflag() in get_bitoffset_of_field().

Masami Hiramatsu (Google) f36d94a20c tracing/probes: Fix anon_stack check for unnamed bitfields in btf_find_struct_member
btf_find_struct_member() traverses into nested anonymous structures
and unions by pushing members with !member->name_off onto anon_stack.
However, it does not consider the unnamed bitfields (e.g. `int : 5`
or `unsigned int : 0`) which also have member->name_off == 0.

If such an unnamed bitfield is pushed to anon_stack, the
btf_find_struct_member() return an error even if there are other
valid entries in anon_stack.

To fix this, only push unnamed struct/union members to anon_stack.
Also move the btf_type_is_struct() check to the entry of this function
because now it is sure only struct/union are pushed to anon_stack.

Linus Torvalds bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<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.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
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 *".

Masami Hiramatsu (Google) 9704669c38 tracing/probes: Fix to search structure fields correctly
Fix to search a field from the structure which has anonymous union
correctly.
Since the reference `type` pointer was updated in the loop, the search
loop suddenly aborted where it hits an anonymous union. Thus it can not
find the field after the anonymous union. This avoids updating the
cursor `type` pointer in the loop.
