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 *".

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.
Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

This patch fixes a segfault by adding a null check on synth in
speakup_con_update(). The segfault can be reproduced as follows:
- Login into a text console
- Load speakup and speakup_soft modules
- Remove speakup_soft
- Switch to a graphics console
This is caused by lack of a null check on `synth` in
speakup_con_update().
Here's the sequence that causes the segfault:
- When we remove the speakup_soft, synth_release() sets the synth
to null.
- After that, when we change the virtual console to graphics
console, vt_notifier_call() is fired, which then calls
speakup_con_update().
- Inside speakup_con_update() there's no null check on synth,
so it calls synth_printf().
- Inside synth_printf(), synth_buffer_add() and synth_start(),
both access synth, when it is null and causing a segfault.
Therefore adding a null check on synth solves the issue.

Pull tty/serial updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the large set of TTY and Serial driver patches for 5.9-rc1.
Lots of bugfixes in here, thanks to syzbot fuzzing for serial and vt
and console code.
Other highlights include:
- much needed vt/vc code cleanup from Jiri Slaby
- 8250 driver fixes and additions
- various serial driver updates and feature enhancements
- locking cleanup for serial/console initializations
- other minor cleanups
All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues"
