453431a549 mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()
As said by Linus:

  A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
  Otherwise it's actively misleading.

  In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
  caller wants.

  In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
  future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
  something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.

The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.

Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.

The renaming is done by using the command sequence:

  git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
  xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'

followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fs/crypto/inline_crypt.c needs linux/slab.h]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix fs/crypto/inline_crypt.c some more]

f632a8170a Driver Core and debugfs changes for 5.3-rc1
Here is the "big" driver core and debugfs changes for 5.3-rc1
 
 It's a lot of different patches, all across the tree due to some api
 changes and lots of debugfs cleanups.  Because of this, there is going
 to be some merge issues with your tree at the moment, I'll follow up
 with the expected resolutions to make it easier for you.
 
 Other than the debugfs cleanups, in this set of changes we have:
 	- bus iteration function cleanups (will cause build warnings
 	  with s390 and coresight drivers in your tree)
 	- scripts/get_abi.pl tool to display and parse Documentation/ABI
 	  entries in a simple way
 	- cleanups to Documenatation/ABI/ entries to make them parse
 	  easier due to typos and other minor things
 	- default_attrs use for some ktype users
 	- driver model documentation file conversions to .rst
 	- compressed firmware file loading
 	- deferred probe fixes
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with a bunch of merge
 issues that Stephen has been patient with me for.  Other than the merge
 issues, functionality is working properly in linux-next :)

4489f161b7 docs: driver-model: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Convert the various documents at the driver-model, preparing
them to be part of the driver-api book.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

b7b2ee41f3 coccinelle: catch krealloc() on devm_*() allocated memory
krealloc() must not be used against devm_*() allocated
memory regions:

- if a bigger memory is to be allocated, krealloc() and
  __krealloc() could return a different pointer than the
  one given to them, creating a memory region which is not
  managed, thus it will not be automatically released on
  device removal.

- if a bigger memory is to be allocated, krealloc() could
  kfree() the managed memory region which is passed to it.
  The old pointer is left registered as a resource for the
  device. On device removal, this dangling pointer will be
  used and an unrelated memory region could be released.

- if the requested size is equal to 0, krealloc() can also
  just behave like kfree(). Here too, the old pointer is
  kept associated with the device. On device removal, this
  invalid pointer will be used and an unrelated memory
  region could be released.

For all these reasons, krealloc() must not be used on a
pointer returned by devm_*() functions.

Since commit 3ef0e5ba46 ('slab: introduce kzfree()'),
kfree() is no more the only function to be considered:
kzfree() should be recognized too.

In particular, kzfree() must not be called on memory
allocated through devm_*() functions.
