<title>drm/vboxvideo: create blend mode property on planes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:09f7fc4e8e307fcdaa506b3a06cd7b1acffd2584</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 860e748bddcc ("drm: ensure blend mode supported if pixel
format with alpha exposed"), drm_mode_config_validate() warns when a
plane exposes an alpha pixel format but not the "pixel blend mode"
property. Both the vboxvideo primary and cursor planes expose ARGB8888
and trip this on driver load.

VirtualBox draws the cursor through the host windowing system, which
treats the guest-supplied pointer shape as straight
(non-pre-multiplied) alpha: the host frontend loads the pixels
verbatim into an unpremultiplied ARGB image before handing them to the
host cursor APIs. This corresponds to DRM_MODE_BLEND_COVERAGE. Expose
a "pixel blend mode" property advertising only DRM_MODE_BLEND_COVERAGE
to make these semantics explicit and silence the warning. The primary
plane's alpha channel is ignored by the host (opaque blit) and it is
the bottom-most plane anyway; advertise the same value there for
consistency.

Fixes: 860e748bddcc ("drm: ensure blend mode supported if pixel format with alpha exposed")

<title>drm: Rename struct drm_atomic_state to drm_atomic_commit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5164f7e7ff8ec7d41065d3862630c2ba09854328</id>
<content type='text'>
The KMS framework uses two slightly different definitions for the state
concept. For a given object (plane, CRTC, encoder, etc., so
drm_$OBJECT_state), the state is the entire state of that object.
However, at the device level, drm_atomic_state refers to a state update
for a limited number of objects.

Thus, drm_atomic_state isn't the entire device state, but only the full
state of some objects in that device. This has been an endless source of
confusion and thus bugs.

We can rename the drm_atomic_state structure to drm_atomic_commit to
make it less confusing.

This patch was created using:

rg -l drm_atomic_state | \
	xargs sed -i 's/drm_atomic_state/drm_atomic_commit/g; s/drm_atomic_commit_helper/drm_atomic_state_helper/g'
mv drivers/gpu/drm/tests/drm_atomic_state_test.c drivers/gpu/drm/tests/drm_atomic_commit_test.c

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

<id>urn:sha1: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>

<id>urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
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 *".

There are a gazillion files that depend on drm_print.h being indirectly
included via drm_buddy.h, drm_mm.h, or ttm/ttm_resource.h. In
preparation for removing those includes, explicitly include drm_print.h
where needed.

The vboxvideo atomic_check implementation uses the deprecated
drm_atomic_get_existing_crtc_state() helper.

This hook is called as part of the global atomic_check, thus before the
states are swapped. The existing state thus points to the new state, and
we can use drm_atomic_get_new_crtc_state() instead.

<content type='text'>
We stopped using the driver initialized date in commit 7fb8af6798e8
("drm: deprecate driver date") and (eventually) started returning "0"
for drm_version ioctl instead.

Finish the job, and remove the unused date member from struct
drm_driver, its initialization from drivers, along with the common
DRIVER_DATE macros.

v2: Also update drivers/accel (kernel test robot)
