This further unifies the accessors for the fast and coarse functions, so
that the same types of functions are available for each. There was also
a bit of confusion with the documentation, which prior advertised a
function that has never existed. Finally, the vanilla ktime_get_coarse()
was omitted from the API originally, so this fills this oversight.

vsprintf: Factor out %pO handler as kobject_string()
vsprintf: Factor out %pV handler as va_format()
vsprintf: Factor out %p[iI] handler as ip_addr_string()

printk: Tie printk_once / printk_deferred_once into .data.once for reset
treewide: Switch printk users from %pf and %pF to %ps and %pS, respectively
lib/test_printf: Switch to bitmap_zalloc()
We are able to detect invalid values handled by %p[iI] printk specifier.
The current error message is "invalid address". It might cause confusion
against "(efault)" reported by the generic valid_pointer_address() check.
Let's unify the style and use the more appropriate error code description
"(einval)".

We already prevent crash when dereferencing some obviously broken
pointers. But the handling is not consistent. Sometimes we print "(null)"
only for pure NULL pointer, sometimes for pointers in the first
page and sometimes also for pointers in the last page (error codes).
Note that printk() call this code under logbuf_lock. Any recursive
printks are redirected to the printk_safe implementation and the messages
are stored into per-CPU buffers. These buffers might be eventually flushed
in printk_safe_flush_on_panic() but it is not guaranteed.
This patch adds a check using probe_kernel_read(). It is not a full-proof
test. But it should help to see the error message in 99% situations where
the kernel would silently crash otherwise.
Also it makes the error handling unified for "%s" and the many %p*
specifiers that need to read the data from a given address. We print:
+ (null) when accessing data on pure pure NULL address
+ (efault) when accessing data on an invalid address
It does not affect the %p* specifiers that just print the given address
in some form, namely %pF, %pf, %pS, %ps, %pB, %pK, %px, and plain %p.
Note that we print (efault) from security reasons. In fact, the real
address can be seen only by %px or eventually %pK.

Very simple radix tree implementation that supports storing arbitrary
size entries, up to PAGE_SIZE - upcoming patches will convert existing
flex_array users to genradixes. The new genradix code has a much
simpler API and implementation, and doesn't have a hard limit on the
number of elements like flex_array does.

This differs slightly from the IDR equivalent in five ways.
1. It can allocate up to UINT_MAX instead of being limited to INT_MAX,
like xa_alloc(). Also like xa_alloc(), it will write to the 'id'
pointer before placing the entry in the XArray.
2. The 'next' cursor is allocated separately from the XArray instead
of being part of the IDR. This saves memory for all the users which
do not use the cyclic allocation API and suits some users better.
3. It returns -EBUSY instead of -ENOSPC.
4. It will attempt to wrap back to the minimum value on memory allocation
failure as well as on an -EBUSY error, assuming that a user would
rather allocate a small ID than suffer an ID allocation failure.
5. It reports whether it has wrapped, which is important to some users.

A lot of places want to allocate IDs starting at 1 instead of 0.
While the xa_alloc() API supports this, it's not very efficient if lots
of IDs are allocated, due to having to walk down to the bottom of the
tree to see if ID 1 is available, then all the way over to the next
non-allocated ID. This method marks ID 0 as being occupied which wastes
one slot in the XArray, but preserves xa_empty() as working.

Userspace translates EEXIST to "File exists" which isn't a very good
error message for the problem. "Device or resource busy" is a better
indication of what went wrong.

This adds an smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() barrier on successful
decrease of refcounter value from 1 to 0 for refcount_dec(sub)_and_test
variants and therefore gives stronger memory ordering guarantees than
prior versions of these functions.

xa_insert() should treat reserved entries as occupied, not as available.
Also, it should treat requests to insert a NULL pointer as a request

For allocating XArrays, it makes sense to distinguish beteen erasing an
