Matthew Wilcox b0606fed6e XArray: Honour reserved entries in xa_insert
xa_insert() should treat reserved entries as occupied, not as available.
Also, it should treat requests to insert a NULL pointer as a request
to reserve the slot.  Add xa_insert_bh() and xa_insert_irq() for
completeness.

Marcos Paulo de Souza caaf3c83d2 Docs/kernel-api.rst: Remove blk-tag.c reference
After 7ca0192646, legacy rq tagging was removed, so block/blk-tag.c
does not exists anymore. When generating pdfdocs, sphinx complains about
this missing file:

Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c
Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c
Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c
Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c

So remove blk-tag.c traces from kernel-api.rst file to silence these
warnings.

The mm-api.rst covers variety of memory management APIs under "More Memory
Management Functions" section. The descriptions included there are in a
random order there are quite a few of them which makes the section too
long.

Regrouping the documentation by subject and splitting the long "More Memory

generated html more usable.

Will Deacon 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".

Matthew Wilcox d9c480435a XArray: Handle NULL pointers differently for allocation
For allocating XArrays, it makes sense to distinguish beteen erasing an
entry and storing NULL.  Storing NULL keeps the index allocated with a
NULL pointer associated with it while xa_erase() frees the index.  Some
existing IDR users rely on this ability.

Linus Torvalds 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"

Matthew Wilcox 0e9446c35a xarray: Add range store functionality

Geert Uytterhoeven 94ac8f2074 doc: printk-formats: Remove bogus kobject references for device nodes
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.

Geert Uytterhoeven 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.

Arnd Bergmann 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.

Geert Uytterhoeven 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.

Linus Torvalds 92400b8c8b Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Lots of tidying up changes all across the map for Linux's formal
   memory/locking-model tooling, by Alan Stern, Akira Yokosawa, Andrea
   Parri, Paul E. McKenney and SeongJae Park.

   Notable changes beyond an overall update in the tooling itself is the
   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.

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.
