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.

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 *".

 - Delegates own VFs to be managed/seen by other adjacent PFs

MLX5_CMD_OP_QUERY_DELEGATED_VHCA:
 - Query current function delegation state.

cb81f72f86 fwctl/mlx5: Allow MODIFY_CONG_STATUS command
MODIFY_CONG_STATUS command is used to enable or disable congestion control
according to a given priority and protocol.

Add MODIFY_CONG_STATUS to the allowed commands under configuration scope.

7f059e4732 fwctl/mlx5: Fix memory alloc/free in mlx5ctl_fw_rpc()
Use kvfree() to free memory allocated by kvzalloc() instead of kfree().
Avoid potential memory management issue considering kvzalloc() can
internally choose to use either kmalloc() or vmalloc() based on memory
request and current system memory state. Hence, use more appropriate
kvfree() which automatically determines correct free method to avoid
potential hard to debug memory issues.  Fix this issue discovered by
running spatch static analysis tool using coccinelle script -
scripts/coccinelle/api/kfree_mismatch.cocci

52929c2142 fwctl/mlx5: Support for communicating with mlx5 fw
mlx5 FW has a built in security context called UID. Each UID has a set of
permissions controlled by the kernel when it is created and every command
is tagged by the kernel with a particular UID. In general commands cannot
reach objects outside of their UID and commands cannot exceed their UID's
permissions. These restrictions are enforced by FW.

This mechanism has long been used in RDMA for the devx interface where
RDMA will sent commands directly to the FW and the UID limitations
restrict those commands to a ib_device/verbs security domain. For instance
commands that would effect other VFs, or global device resources. The
model is suitable for unprivileged userspace to operate the RDMA
functionality.

The UID has been extended with a "tools resources" permission which allows
additional commands and sub-commands that are intended to match with the
scope limitations set in FWCTL. This is an alternative design to the
"command intent log" where the FW does the enforcement rather than having
the FW report the enforcement the kernel should do.

Consistent with the fwctl definitions the "tools resources" security
context is limited to the FWCTL_RPC_CONFIGURATION,
FWCTL_RPC_DEBUG_READ_ONLY, FWCTL_RPC_DEBUG_WRITE, and
FWCTL_RPC_DEBUG_WRITE_FULL security scopes.

Like RDMA devx, each opened fwctl file descriptor will get a unique UID
associated with each file descriptor.

The fwctl driver is kept simple and we reject commands that can create
objects as the UID mechanism relies on the kernel to track and destroy
objects prior to detroying the UID. Filtering into fwctl sub scopes is
done inside the driver with a switch statement. This substantially limits
what is possible to primarily query functions ad a few limited set
operations.

mlx5 already has a robust infrastructure for delivering RPC messages to
fw. Trivially connect fwctl's RPC mechanism to mlx5_cmd_do(). Enforce the
User Context ID in every RPC header accepted from the FD so the FW knows
the security context of the issuing ID.
