b6e95788fd irqdomain: Introduce irq_domain_create_legacy() API
Introduce irq_domain_create_legacy() API which is functional equivalent
to the existing irq_domain_add_legacy(), but takes a pointer to the struct
fwnode_handle as a parameter.

This is useful for non OF systems.

Merge tag 'docs/v5.10-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media

Pull documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 "A series of patches addressing warnings produced by make htmldocs.
  This includes:

   - kernel-doc markup fixes

   - ReST fixes

   - Updates at the build system in order to support newer versions of
     the docs build toolchain (Sphinx)

  After this series, the number of html build warnings should reduce
  significantly, and building with Sphinx 3.1 or later should now be
  supported (although it is still recommended to use Sphinx 2.4.4).

  As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the
  end of the merge window addressing remaining issues with docs build,
  as there are a number of warning fixes that depends on pull requests
  that should be happening along the merge window.

  The end goal is to have a clean htmldocs build on Kernel 5.10.

  PS. It should be noticed that Sphinx 3.0 is not currently supported,
  as it lacks support for C domain namespaces. Such feature, needed in
  order to document uAPI system calls with Sphinx 3.x, was added only on
  Sphinx 3.1"

8fc75643c5 XArray: add xas_split
In order to use multi-index entries for huge pages in the page cache, we
need to be able to split a multi-index entry (eg if a file is truncated in
the middle of a huge page entry).  This version does not support splitting
more than one level of the tree at a time.  This is an acceptable
limitation for the page cache as we do not expect to support order-12
pages in the near future.

efa70f2fdc dma-mapping: add a new dma_alloc_pages API
This API is the equivalent of alloc_pages, except that the returned memory
is guaranteed to be DMA addressable by the passed in device.  The
implementation will also be used to provide a more sensible replacement
for DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT flag.

Additionally dma_alloc_noncoherent is switched over to use dma_alloc_pages
as its backend.

0d71675f87 dma-mapping: add a new dma_alloc_noncoherent API
Add a new API to allocate and free memory that is guaranteed to be
addressable by a device, but which potentially is not cache coherent
for DMA.

To transfer ownership to and from the device, the existing streaming
DMA API calls dma_sync_single_for_device and dma_sync_single_for_cpu
must be used.

For now the new calls are implemented on top of dma_alloc_attrs just
like the old-noncoherent API, but once all drivers are switched to
the new API it will be replaced with a better working implementation
that is available on all architectures.

25d8d4eeca powerpc updates for 5.9
- Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.
 
  - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on Power9
    or later.
 
  - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be unsupported on
    Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way to implement the
    functionality it requests. This risks breaking userspace, though we believe
    it is unused in practice.
 
  - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking.
    We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures.
 
  - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which
    tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone
    to crashes and other problems.
 
  - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.
 
  - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack
    (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.
 
  - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.

2324d50d05 It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a
while to come.  Changes include:
 
  - Some new Chinese translations
 
  - Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS URLs
 
  - Some block-mq documentation
 
  - More RST conversions from Mauro.  At this point, that task is
    essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again for a

350ef051d4 padata: remove stop function
padata_stop() has two callers and is unnecessary in both cases.  When
pcrypt calls it before padata_free(), it's being unloaded so there are
no outstanding padata jobs[0].  When __padata_free() calls it, it's
either along the same path or else pcrypt initialization failed, which
of course means there are also no outstanding jobs.

Removing it simplifies padata and saves text.

48f6e7f6d9 powerpc/pseries: remove cede offline state for CPUs
This effectively reverts commit 3aa565f53c ("powerpc/pseries: Add
hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state"), which added
an offline mode for CPUs which uses the H_CEDE hcall instead of the
architected stop-self RTAS function in order to facilitate "folding"
of dedicated mode processors on PowerVM platforms to achieve energy
savings. This has been the default offline mode since its
introduction.

There's nothing about stop-self that would prevent the hypervisor from
achieving the energy savings available via H_CEDE, so the original
premise of this change appears to be flawed.

I also have encountered the claim that the transition to and from
ceded state is much faster than stop-self/start-cpu. Certainly we
would not want to use stop-self as an *idle* mode. That is what H_CEDE
is for. However, this difference is insignificant in the context of
Linux CPU hotplug, where the latency of an offline or online operation
on current systems is on the order of 100ms, mainly attributable to
all the various subsystems' cpuhp callbacks.

The cede offline mode also prevents accurate accounting, as discussed
before:
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/1571740391-3251-1-git-send-email-ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com/

Unconditionally use stop-self to offline processor threads. This is
the architected method for offlining CPUs on PAPR systems.

The "cede_offline" boot parameter is rendered obsolete.

Removing this code enables the removal of the partition suspend code
which temporarily onlines all present CPUs.

eaf4d22a9e docs: mm/gup: pin_user_pages.rst: add a "case 5"
Patch series "vhost, docs: convert to pin_user_pages(), new "case 5""

It recently became clear to me that there are some get_user_pages*()
callers that don't fit neatly into any of the four cases that are so far
listed in pin_user_pages.rst.  vhost.c is one of those.

Add a Case 5 to the documentation, and refer to that when converting
vhost.c.

Thanks to Jan Kara for helping me (again) in understanding the
interaction between get_user_pages() and page writeback [1].

This is based on today's mmotm, which has a nearby patch to
pin_user_pages.rst that rewords cases 3 and 4.

Note that I have only compile-tested the vhost.c patch, although that
does also include cross-compiling for a few other arches.  Any run-time
testing would be greatly appreciated.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200529070343.GL14550@quack2.suse.cz

This patch (of 2):

There are four cases listed in pin_user_pages.rst.  These are intended
to help developers figure out whether to use get_user_pages*(), or
pin_user_pages*().  However, the four cases do not cover all the
situations.  For example, drivers/vhost/vhost.c has a "pin, write to
page, set page dirty, unpin" case.

Add a fifth case, to help explain that there is a general pattern that
requires pin_user_pages*() API calls.

93431e0607 Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: documentation
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  For each line:
    If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
      For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
        If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
        return 200 OK and serve the same content:
          Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

b2a5212fb6 bpf: Restrict bpf_trace_printk()'s %s usage and add %pks, %pus specifier
Usage of plain %s conversion specifier in bpf_trace_printk() suffers from the
very same issue as bpf_probe_read{,str}() helpers, that is, it is broken on
archs with overlapping address ranges.

While the helpers have been addressed through work in 6ae08ae3de ("bpf: Add
probe_read_{user, kernel} and probe_read_{user, kernel}_str helpers"), we need
an option for bpf_trace_printk() as well to fix it.

Similarly as with the helpers, force users to make an explicit choice by adding
%pks and %pus specifier to bpf_trace_printk() which will then pick the corresponding
strncpy_from_unsafe*() variant to perform the access under KERNEL_DS or USER_DS.
The %pk* (kernel specifier) and %pu* (user specifier) can later also be extended
for other objects aside strings that are probed and printed under tracing, and
reused out of other facilities like bpf_seq_printf() or BTF based type printing.

Existing behavior of %s for current users is still kept working for archs where it
is not broken and therefore gated through CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE.
For archs not having this property we fall-back to pick probing under KERNEL_DS as
a sensible default.

Fixes: 8d3b7dce86 ("bpf: add support for %s specifier to bpf_trace_printk()")

dc8fb2f282 mm: dump_page(): additional diagnostics for huge pinned pages
As part of pin_user_pages() and related API calls, pages are "dma-pinned".
For the case of compound pages of order > 1, the per-page accounting of
dma pins is accomplished via the 3rd struct page in the compound page.  In
order to support debugging of any pin_user_pages()- related problems,
enhance dump_page() so as to report the pin count in that case.

Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst is also updated accordingly.

1970dc6f52 mm/gup: /proc/vmstat: pin_user_pages (FOLL_PIN) reporting
Now that pages are "DMA-pinned" via pin_user_page*(), and unpinned via
unpin_user_pages*(), we need some visibility into whether all of this is
working correctly.

Add two new fields to /proc/vmstat:

    nr_foll_pin_acquired
    nr_foll_pin_released

These are documented in Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst.  They
represent the number of pages (since boot time) that have been pinned
("nr_foll_pin_acquired") and unpinned ("nr_foll_pin_released"), via
pin_user_pages*() and unpin_user_pages*().

In the absence of long-running DMA or RDMA operations that hold pages
pinned, the above two fields will normally be equal to each other.

Also: update Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst, to remove an
earlier (now confirmed untrue) claim about a performance problem with
/proc/vmstat.

Also: update Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst to rename the new
/proc/vmstat entries, to the names listed here.

47e29d32af mm/gup: page->hpage_pinned_refcount: exact pin counts for huge pages
For huge pages (and in fact, any compound page), the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS
scheme tends to overflow too easily, each tail page increments the head
page->_refcount by GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024).  That limits the number
of huge pages that can be pinned.

This patch removes that limitation, by using an exact form of pin counting
for compound pages of order > 1.  The "order > 1" is required because this
approach uses the 3rd struct page in the compound page, and order 1
compound pages only have two pages, so that won't work there.

A new struct page field, hpage_pinned_refcount, has been added, replacing
a padding field in the union (so no new space is used).

This enhancement also has a useful side effect: huge pages and compound
pages (of order > 1) do not suffer from the "potential false positives"
problem that is discussed in the page_dma_pinned() comment block.  That is
because these compound pages have extra space for tracking things, so they
get exact pin counts instead of overloading page->_refcount.

Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst is updated accordingly.

3faa52c03f mm/gup: track FOLL_PIN pages
Add tracking of pages that were pinned via FOLL_PIN.  This tracking is
implemented via overloading of page->_refcount: pins are added by adding
GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024) to the refcount.  This provides a fuzzy
indication of pinning, and it can have false positives (and that's OK).
Please see the pre-existing Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst for
details.

As mentioned in pin_user_pages.rst, callers who effectively set FOLL_PIN
(typically via pin_user_pages*()) are required to ultimately free such
pages via unpin_user_page().

Please also note the limitation, discussed in pin_user_pages.rst under the
"TODO: for 1GB and larger huge pages" section.  (That limitation will be
removed in a following patch.)

The effect of a FOLL_PIN flag is similar to that of FOLL_GET, and may be
thought of as "FOLL_GET for DIO and/or RDMA use".

Pages that have been pinned via FOLL_PIN are identifiable via a new
function call:

   bool page_maybe_dma_pinned(struct page *page);

What to do in response to encountering such a page, is left to later
patchsets. There is discussion about this in [1], [2], [3], and [4].

This also changes a BUG_ON(), to a WARN_ON(), in follow_page_mask().

eddb1c228f mm/gup: introduce pin_user_pages*() and FOLL_PIN
Introduce pin_user_pages*() variations of get_user_pages*() calls, and
also pin_longterm_pages*() variations.

For now, these are placeholder calls, until the various call sites are
converted to use the correct get_user_pages*() or pin_user_pages*() API.

These variants will eventually all set FOLL_PIN, which is also
introduced, and thoroughly documented.

    pin_user_pages()
    pin_user_pages_remote()
    pin_user_pages_fast()

All pages that are pinned via the above calls, must be unpinned via
put_user_page().

The underlying rules are:

* FOLL_PIN is a gup-internal flag, so the call sites should not directly
  set it.  That behavior is enforced with assertions.

* Call sites that want to indicate that they are going to do DirectIO
  ("DIO") or something with similar characteristics, should call a
  get_user_pages()-like wrapper call that sets FOLL_PIN.  These wrappers
  will:

    * Start with "pin_user_pages" instead of "get_user_pages".  That
      makes it easy to find and audit the call sites.

    * Set FOLL_PIN

* For pages that are received via FOLL_PIN, those pages must be returned
  via put_user_page().

Thanks to Jan Kara and Vlastimil Babka for explaining the 4 cases in
this documentation.  (I've reworded it and expanded upon it.)

 "Primarily bugfixes, mostly around handling index wrap-around

  A couple of doc fixes and adding missing APIs.

  I had an oops live on stage at linux.conf.au this year, and it turned
  out to be a bug in xas_find() which I can't prove isn't triggerable in
  the current codebase. Then in looking for the bug, I spotted two more
  bugs.

  The bots have had a few days to chew on this with no problems
  reported, and it passes the test-suite (which now has more tests to
  make sure these problems don't come back)"

43a2898631 powerpc updates for 5.5 #2
A few commits splitting the KASAN instrumented bitops header in
 three, to match the split of the asm-generic bitops headers.
 
 This is needed on powerpc because we use asm-generic/bitops/non-atomic.h,
 for the non-atomic bitops, whereas the existing KASAN instrumented
 bitops assume all the underlying operations are provided by the arch
 as arch_foo() versions.

4f4afc2c95 docs/core-api: Remove possibly confusing sub-headings from Bit Operations
The recent commit 81d2c6f819 ("kasan: support instrumented bitops
combined with generic bitops"), split the KASAN instrumented bitops
into separate headers for atomic, non-atomic and locking operations.

This was done to allow arches to include just the instrumented bitops
they need, while also using some of the generic bitops in
asm-generic/bitops (which are automatically instrumented). The generic
bitops are already split into atomic, non-atomic and locking headers.

This split required an update to kernel-api.rst because it included
include/asm-generic/bitops-instrumented.h, which no longer exists. So
now kernel-api.rst includes all three instrumented headers to get the
definitions for all the bitops.

When adding the three headers it seemed sensible to add sub-headings
for each, ie. "Atomic", "Non-atomic" and "Locking".

The confusion is that test_bit() is (and always has been) in
non-atomic.h, but is documented elsewhere (atomic_bitops.txt) as being
atomic. So having it appear under the "Non-atomic" heading is possibly
confusing.

Probably test_bit() should move from bitops/non-atomic.h to atomic.h,
but that has flow on effects. For now just remove the newly added
sub-headings in the documentation, so we at least aren't adding to the
confusion about whether test_bit() is atomic or not.

bc35d4bda2 scripts/nsdeps: support nsdeps for external module builds
scripts/nsdeps is written to take care of only in-tree modules.
Perhaps, this is not a bug, but just a design. At least,
Documentation/core-api/symbol-namespaces.rst focuses on in-tree modules.

Having said that, some people already tried nsdeps for external modules.
So, it would be nice to support it.

81d2c6f819 kasan: support instrumented bitops combined with generic bitops
Currently bitops-instrumented.h assumes that the architecture provides
atomic, non-atomic and locking bitops (e.g. both set_bit and __set_bit).
This is true on x86 and s390, but is not always true: there is a
generic bitops/non-atomic.h header that provides generic non-atomic
operations, and also a generic bitops/lock.h for locking operations.

powerpc uses the generic non-atomic version, so it does not have it's
own e.g. __set_bit that could be renamed arch___set_bit.

Split up bitops-instrumented.h to mirror the atomic/non-atomic/lock
split. This allows arches to only include the headers where they
have arch-specific versions to rename. Update x86 and s390.

(The generic operations are automatically instrumented because they're
written in C, not asm.)

57f5677e53 printf: add support for printing symbolic error names
It has been suggested several times to extend vsnprintf() to be able
to convert the numeric value of ENOSPC to print "ENOSPC". This
implements that as a %p extension: With %pe, one can do

  if (IS_ERR(foo)) {
    pr_err("Sorry, can't do that: %pe\n", foo);
    return PTR_ERR(foo);
  }

instead of what is seen in quite a few places in the kernel:

  if (IS_ERR(foo)) {
    pr_err("Sorry, can't do that: %ld\n", PTR_ERR(foo));
    return PTR_ERR(foo);
  }

If the value passed to %pe is an ERR_PTR, but the library function
errname() added here doesn't know about the value, the value is simply
printed in decimal. If the value passed to %pe is not an ERR_PTR, we
treat it as an ordinary %p and thus print the hashed value (passing
non-ERR_PTR values to %pe indicates a bug in the caller, but we can't
do much about that).

With my embedded hat on, and because it's not very invasive to do,
I've made it possible to remove this. The errname() function and
associated lookup tables take up about 3K. For most, that's probably
quite acceptable and a price worth paying for more readable
dmesg (once this starts getting used), while for those that disable
printk() it's of very little use - I don't see a
procfs/sysfs/seq_printf() file reasonably making use of this - and
they clearly want to squeeze vmlinux as much as possible. Hence the
default y if PRINTK.

The symbols to include have been found by massaging the output of

  find arch include -iname 'errno*.h' | xargs grep -E 'define\s*E'

In the cases where some common aliasing exists
(e.g. EAGAIN=EWOULDBLOCK on all platforms, EDEADLOCK=EDEADLK on most),
I've moved the more popular one (in terms of 'git grep -w Efoo | wc)
to the bottom so that one takes precedence.

3bd32d6a2e lib/vsprintf: Add %pfw conversion specifier for printing fwnode names
Add support for %pfw conversion specifier (with "f" and "P" modifiers) to
support printing full path of the node, including its name ("f") and only
the node's name ("P") in the printk family of functions. The two flags
have equivalent functionality to existing %pOF with the same two modifiers
("f" and "P") on OF based systems. The ability to do the same on ACPI
based systems is added by this patch.

On ACPI based systems the resulting strings look like

	\_SB.PCI0.CIO2.port@1.endpoint@0

where the nodes are separated by a dot (".") and the first three are
ACPI device nodes and the latter two ACPI data nodes.

59bb47985c mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)
In most configurations, kmalloc() happens to return naturally aligned
(i.e.  aligned to the block size itself) blocks for power of two sizes.

That means some kmalloc() users might unknowingly rely on that
alignment, until stuff breaks when the kernel is built with e.g.
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG or CONFIG_SLOB, and blocks stop being aligned.  Then
developers have to devise workaround such as own kmem caches with
specified alignment [1], which is not always practical, as recently
evidenced in [2].

The topic has been discussed at LSF/MM 2019 [3].  Adding a
'kmalloc_aligned()' variant would not help with code unknowingly relying
on the implicit alignment.  For slab implementations it would either
require creating more kmalloc caches, or allocate a larger size and only
give back part of it.  That would be wasteful, especially with a generic
alignment parameter (in contrast with a fixed alignment to size).

Ideally we should provide to mm users what they need without difficult
workarounds or own reimplementations, so let's make the kmalloc()
alignment to size explicitly guaranteed for power-of-two sizes under all
configurations.  What this means for the three available allocators?

* SLAB object layout happens to be mostly unchanged by the patch.  The
  implicitly provided alignment could be compromised with
  CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB due to redzoning, however SLAB disables redzoning for
  caches with alignment larger than unsigned long long.  Practically on at
  least x86 this includes kmalloc caches as they use cache line alignment,
  which is larger than that.  Still, this patch ensures alignment on all
  arches and cache sizes.

* SLUB layout is also unchanged unless redzoning is enabled through
  CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and boot parameter for the particular kmalloc cache.
  With this patch, explicit alignment is guaranteed with redzoning as
  well.  This will result in more memory being wasted, but that should be
  acceptable in a debugging scenario.

* SLOB has no implicit alignment so this patch adds it explicitly for
  kmalloc().  The potential downside is increased fragmentation.  While
  pathological allocation scenarios are certainly possible, in my testing,
  after booting a x86_64 kernel+userspace with virtme, around 16MB memory
  was consumed by slab pages both before and after the patch, with
  difference in the noise.

cbacb5ab0a docs: printk-formats: Stop encouraging use of unnecessary %h[xudi] and %hh[xudi]
Standard integer promotion is already done and %hx and %hhx is useless
so do not encourage the use of %hh[xudi] or %h[xudi].

As Linus said in:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wgoxnmsj8GEVFJSvTwdnWm8wVJthefNk2n6+4TC=20e0Q@mail.gmail.com/

It's a pointless warning, making for more complex code, and
making people remember esoteric printf format details that have no
reason for existing.

The "h" and "hh" things should never be used. The only reason for them
being used if if you have an "int", but you want to print it out as a
"char" (and honestly, that is a really bad reason, you'd be better off
just using a proper cast to make the code more obvious).

So if what you have a "char" (or unsigned char) you should always just

1ec779b9fa docs: packing: move it to core-api book and adjust markups
The packing.txt file was misplaced, as docs should be part of
a documentation book, and not at the root dir.

So, move it to the core-api directory and add to its index.

Also, ensure that the file will be properly parsed and the bitmap
ascii artwork will use a monotonic font.

Rename the /proc/sys/ documentation files to ReST, using the
README file as a template for an index.rst, adding the other
files there via TOC markup.

Despite being written on different times with different
styles, try to make them somewhat coherent with a similar
look and feel, ensuring that they'll look nice as both
raw text file and as via the html output produced by the
Sphinx build system.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to

751ad98d5f asm-generic, x86: add bitops instrumentation for KASAN
This adds a new header to asm-generic to allow optionally instrumenting
architecture-specific asm implementations of bitops.

This change includes the required change for x86 as reference and
changes the kernel API doc to point to bitops-instrumented.h instead.
Rationale: the functions in x86's bitops.h are no longer the kernel API
functions, but instead the arch_ prefixed functions, which are then
instrumented via bitops-instrumented.h.

Other architectures can similarly add support for asm implementations of
bitops.

The documentation text was derived from x86 and existing bitops
asm-generic versions: 1) references to x86 have been removed; 2) as a
result, some of the text had to be reworded for clarity and consistency.

Tested using lib/test_kasan with bitops tests (pre-requisite patch).

4c54294d01 timekeeping: Add missing _ns functions for coarse accessors
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.

We are able to detect invalid values handled by %p[iI] printk specifier.
The current error message is "invalid address". It might cause confusion

Let's unify the style and use the more appropriate error code description
"(einval)".

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.

ba20ba2e37 generic radix trees
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.

2fa044e51a XArray: Add cyclic allocation
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.

3ccaf57a6a XArray: Add support for 1s-based allocation
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.

806654a966 Documentation: Use "while" instead of "whilst"
Whilst making an unrelated change to some Documentation, Linus sayeth:

  | Afaik, even in Britain, "whilst" is unusual and considered more
  | formal, and "while" is the common word.
  |
  | [...]
  |
  | Can we just admit that we work with computers, and we don't need to
  | use þe eald Englisc spelling of words that most of the world never
  | uses?

dictionary.com refers to the word as "Chiefly British", which is
probably an undesirable attribute for technical documentation.

Replace all occurrences under Documentation/ with "while".

d9c480435a XArray: Handle NULL pointers differently for allocation
For allocating XArrays, it makes sense to distinguish beteen erasing an

dad4f140ed Merge branch 'xarray' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax
Pull XArray conversion from Matthew Wilcox:
 "The XArray provides an improved interface to the radix tree data
  structure, providing locking as part of the API, specifying GFP flags
  at allocation time, eliminating preloading, less re-walking the tree,
  more efficient iterations and not exposing RCU-protected pointers to
  its users.

  This patch set

   1. Introduces the XArray implementation

   2. Converts the pagecache to use it

   3. Converts memremap to use it

  The page cache is the most complex and important user of the radix
  tree, so converting it was most important. Converting the memremap
  code removes the only other user of the multiorder code, which allows
  us to remove the radix tree code that supported it.

  I have 40+ followup patches to convert many other users of the radix
  tree over to the XArray, but I'd like to get this part in first. The
  other conversions haven't been in linux-next and aren't suitable for
  applying yet, but you can see them in the xarray-conv branch if you're
  interested"

When converting from text to rst, the kobjects section and its sole
subsection about device tree nodes were coalesced into a single section,
yielding an inconsistent result.

Remove all references to kobjects, as
  1. Device tree object pointers are not compatible to kobject pointers
     (the former may embed the latter, though), and
  2. there are no printk formats defined for kobject types.

Update the vsprintf() source code comments to match the above.

requests to online/offline memory from user space.

ec12bc2909 lib/vsprintf: Hash legacy clock addresses
On platforms using the Common Clock Framework, "%pC" prints the clock's
name. On legacy platforms, it prints the unhashed clock's address,
potentially leaking sensitive information regarding the kernel layout in
memory.

Avoid this leak by printing the hashed address instead.  To distinguish
between clocks, a 32-bit unique identifier is as good as an actual
pointer value.

Fixes: ad67b74d24 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")

0e3fd810c4 Documentation: document ktime_get_*() APIs
As Dave Chinner points out, we don't have a proper documentation for the
ktime_get() family of interfaces, making it rather unclear which of the
over 30 (!) interfaces one should actually use in a driver or elsewhere
in the kernel.

I wrote up an explanation from how I personally see the interfaces,
documenting what each of the functions do and hopefully making it a bit
clearer which should be used where.

This is the first time I tried writing .rst format documentation, so
in addition to any mistakes in the content, I probably also introduce
nonstandard formatting ;-)

I first tried to add an extra section to
Documentation/timers/timekeeping.txt, but this is currently not included
in the generated API, and it seems useful to have the API docs as part
of what gets generated in
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/core-api/index.html#core-utilities
instead, so I started a new file there.

I also considered adding the documentation inline in the
include/linux/timekeeping.h header, but couldn't figure out how to do
that in a way that would result both in helpful inline comments as
well as readable html output, so I settled for the latter, with
a small note pointing to it from the header.

666902e42f lib/vsprintf: Remove atomic-unsafe support for %pCr
"%pCr" formats the current rate of a clock, and calls clk_get_rate().
The latter obtains a mutex, hence it must not be called from atomic
context.

Remove support for this rarely-used format, as vsprintf() (and e.g.
printk()) must be callable from any context.

Any remaining out-of-tree users will start seeing the clock's name
printed instead of its rate.

   tidying up of spin_is_locked() semantics, which spills over into the
   kernel proper as well.

 - qspinlock improvements: the locking algorithm now guarantees forward
   progress whereas the previous implementation in mainline could starve
   threads indefinitely in cmpxchg() loops. Also other related cleanups
   to the qspinlock code (Will Deacon)

 - misc smaller improvements, cleanups and fixes all across the locking
   subsystem

Linus Torvalds
ab486bc9a5 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add a console_msg_format command line option:

     The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
     value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
     level>[timestamp] text" format.

     This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
     example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
     at hands.

 - Reduce the risk of softlockup:

     Pass the console owner in a busy loop.

     This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
     Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
     the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
     On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
     a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
     console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
     the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
     waiter.

     The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
     Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
     when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
     much to flush.

     There is increasing number of people having problems with
     printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
     solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
     direction.

 - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():

     This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
     to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
     This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
     above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.

 - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:

     It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
     descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
     transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.

     Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
     a special elf section and could be easily detected.

 - Remove printk_symbol() API:

     It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
     helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.

 - Remove redundant memsets:

     Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
     command line option.

Genalloc/genpool has kerneldoc comments, but nothing has ever been pulled

6312811be2 Merge remote-tracking branch 'mauro-exp/docbook3' into death-to-docbook
Mauro says:

This patch series convert the remaining DocBooks to ReST.

The first version was originally
send as 3 patch series:

   [PATCH 00/36] Convert DocBook documents to ReST
   [PATCH 0/5] Convert more books to ReST
   [PATCH 00/13] Get rid of DocBook

The lsm book was added as if it were a text file under
Documentation. The plan is to merge it with another file
under Documentation/security, after both this series and
a security Documentation patch series gets merged.

It also adjusts some Sphinx-pedantic errors/warnings on
some kernel-doc markups.

I also added some patches here to add PDF output for all
existing ReST books.

Add the appropriate markup to get the kerneldoc comments out of
lib/debugobjects.c that have never seen the light of day until now.

Note that the inclusion of the kerneldoc comments from the source has never
worked, since exported symbols were asked for and none of those functions
are exported to modules.  It doesn't work here either :)
