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.

This uncovered a clang bug in __builtin_counted_by_ref(), so the conversion is preceded by disabling that for current versions of clang. The imminent clang 22.1 release has the fix.
I've done allmodconfig build tests for x86_64, arm64, i386, and arm. I did defconfig builds for alpha, m68k, mips, parisc, powerpc, riscv, s390, sparc, sh, arc, csky, xtensa, hexagon, and openrisc"

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 *".

Merge tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a mix of VFS cleanups, performance improvements, API fixes, documentation, and a deprecation notice.
Scalability and performance:
- Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck. Pad the namespace refcount to reduce false-sharing
- Track file lock presence via a flag in ->i_opflags instead of reading ->i_flctx, avoiding false-sharing with ->i_readcount on open/close hot paths. Measured 4-16% improvement on 24-core open-in-a-loop benchmarks
- Use a consume fence in locks_inode_context() to match the store-release/load-consume idiom, eliminating a hardware fence on some architectures
- Annotate cdev_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp to prevent false-sharing
- Remove a redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in __follow_mount_rcu() that never fires since the caller already verifies it, eliminating a 100% mispredicted branch
- Fix a 100% mispredicted likely() in devcgroup_inode_permission() that became wrong after a prior code reorder
Bug fixes and correctness:
- Make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction instead of skipping, fixing a corner case where two matching inodes could exist in the hash
- Move f_mode initialization before file_ref_init() in alloc_file() to respect the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU ordering contract
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard in try_to_free_buffers() for folios with no buffers attached, preventing a null pointer dereference when AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set but no release_folio op exists
- Fix select restart_block to store end_time as timespec64, avoiding truncation of tv_sec on 32-bit architectures
- Make dump_inode() use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode and superblock fields, matching the dump_mapping() pattern
API modernization:
- Make posix_acl_to_xattr() allocate the buffer internally since every single caller was doing it anyway. Reduces boilerplate and unnecessary error checking across ~15 filesystems
- Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() for the ihash_entries, dhash_entries, mhash_entries, and mphash_entries boot parameters, adding proper error handling
- Convert chardev code to use guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) cleanup patterns
- Replace min_t() with min() or umin() in VFS code to avoid silently truncating unsigned long to unsigned int
- Gate LOOKUP_RCU assertions behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS since callers already check the flag
Deprecation:
- Begin deprecating legacy BSD process accounting (acct(2)). The interface has numerous footguns and better alternatives exist (eBPF)
Documentation:
- Fix and complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations, removing duplicated documentation between ReST and source
- Fix kernel-doc warnings for __start_dirop() and ilookup5_nowait()
Testing:
- Add a kunit test for initramfs cpio handling of entries with filesize > PATH_MAX
Misc:
- Add missing <linux/init_task.h> include in fs_struct.c"
