Pull kmalloc_obj conversion from Kees Cook:
"This does the tree-wide conversion to kmalloc_obj() and friends using
coccinelle, with a subsequent small manual cleanup of whitespace
alignment that coccinelle does not handle.

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.namespace' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:

- statmount: accept fd as a parameter

Extend struct mnt_id_req with a file descriptor field and a new
STATMOUNT_BY_FD flag. When set, statmount() returns mount information
for the mount the fd resides on — including detached mounts
(unmounted via umount2(MNT_DETACH)).

For detached mounts the STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT and STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID
mask bits are cleared since neither is meaningful. The capability
check is skipped for STATMOUNT_BY_FD since holding an fd already
implies prior access to the mount and equivalent information is
available through fstatfs() and /proc/pid/mountinfo without
privilege. Includes comprehensive selftests covering both attached
and detached mount cases.

- fs: Remove internal old mount API code (1 patch)

Now that every in-tree filesystem has been converted to the new
mount API, remove all the legacy shim code in fs_context.c that
handled unconverted filesystems. This deletes ~280 lines including
legacy_init_fs_context(), the legacy_fs_context struct, and
associated wrappers. The mount(2) syscall path for userspace remains
untouched. Documentation references to the legacy callbacks are
cleaned up.

- mount: add OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to open_tree()

Container runtimes currently use CLONE_NEWNS to copy the caller's
entire mount namespace — only to then pivot_root() and recursively
unmount everything they just copied. With large mount tables and
thousands of parallel container launches this creates significant
contention on the namespace semaphore.

OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE copies only the specified mount tree (like
OPEN_TREE_CLONE) but returns a mount namespace fd instead of a
detached mount fd. The new namespace contains the copied tree mounted
on top of a clone of the real rootfs.

This functions as a combined unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) + pivot_root() in a
single syscall. Works with user namespaces: an unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER)
followed by OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE creates a mount namespace owned by
the new user namespace. Mount namespace file mounts are excluded from
the copy to prevent cycles. Includes ~1000 lines of selftests"

fs: Remove internal old mount API code

Now that the last in-tree filesystem has been converted to the new mount
API, remove all legacy mount API code designed to handle un-converted
filesystems, and remove associated documentation as well.

(The code to handle the legacy mount(2) syscall from userspace is still
in place, of course.)

Tested with an allmodconfig build on x86_64, and a sanity check of an
old mount(2) syscall mount.
