The RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP,
and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY Kconfig options are only
useful for torture testing, and there are the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay,
rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot parameters
that rcutorture can use instead. The effect of these parameters is to
artificially slow down grace period initialization and cleanup in order
to make some types of race conditions happen more often.
This commit therefore simplifies Tree RCU a bit by removing the Kconfig
options and adding the corresponding kernel parameters to rcutorture's
.boot files instead. However, this commit also leaves out the kernel
parameters for TREE02, TREE04, and TREE07 in order to have about the
same number of tests slowed as not slowed. TREE01, TREE03, TREE05,
and TREE06 are slowed, and the rest are not slowed.

If a given CPU never happens to ever start an SRCU grace period, the
grace-period sequence counter might wrap. If this CPU were to decide to
finally start a grace period, the state of its sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed
might make it appear that it has already requested this grace period,
which would prevent starting the grace period. If no other CPU ever started
a grace period again, this would look like a grace-period hang. Even
if some other CPU took pity and started the needed grace period, the
leaf rcu_node structure's ->srcu_data_have_cbs field won't have record
of the fact that this CPU has a callback pending, which would look like
a very localized grace-period hang.
This might seem very unlikely, but SRCU grace periods can take less than
a microsecond on small systems, which means that overflow can happen
in much less than an hour on a 32-bit embedded system. And embedded
systems are especially likely to have long-term idle CPUs. Therefore,
it makes sense to prevent this scenario from happening.
This commit therefore scans each srcu_data structure occasionally,
with frequency controlled by the srcutree.counter_wrap_check kernel
boot parameter. This parameter can be set to something like 255
in order to exercise the counter-wrap-prevention code.

This commit adds a writer_holdoff boot parameter to rcuperf, which is
intended to be used to test Tree SRCU's auto-expediting. This
boot parameter is in microseconds, and defaults to zero (that is,
disabled). Set it to a bit larger than srcutree.exp_holdoff,
keeping the nanosecond/microsecond conversion, to force Tree SRCU
to auto-expedite more aggressively.
This commit also adds documentation for this parameter, and fixes some
alphabetization while in the neighborhood.

This commit upgrades rcuperf so that it can do performance testing on
asynchronous grace-period primitives such as call_srcu(). There is
a new rcuperf.gp_async module parameter that specifies this new behavior,
with the pre-existing rcuperf.gp_exp testing expedited grace periods such as
synchronize_rcu_expedited, and with the default being to test synchronous
non-expedited grace periods such as synchronize_rcu().
There is also a new rcuperf.gp_async_max module parameter that specifies
the maximum number of outstanding callbacks per writer kthread, defaulting
to 1,000. When this limit is exceeded, the writer thread invokes the
appropriate flavor of rcu_barrier() to wait for callbacks to drain.

In commit:
9710f581bb4c ("x86, mm: Let "memmap=" take more entries one time")
... 'memmap=' was changed to adopt multiple, comma delimited values in a
single entry, so update the related description.
In the special case of only specifying size value without an offset,
like memmap=nn[KMG], memmap behaves similarly to mem=nn[KMG], so update
it too here.
Furthermore, for memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG], an escape character needs be added
before '$' for some bootloaders. E.g in grub2, if we specify memmap=100M$5G
as suggested by the documentation, "memmap=100MG" gets passed to the kernel.
Clarify all this.

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.

Vhost-vsock is a software device so there is no probe call that causes
the driver to register its misc char device node. This creates a
chicken and egg problem: userspace applications must open
/dev/vhost-vsock to use the driver but the file doesn't exist until the
kernel module has been loaded.
Use the devname modalias mechanism so that /dev/vhost-vsock is created
at boot. The vhost_vsock kernel module is automatically loaded when the
first application opens /dev/host-vsock.
Note that the "reserved for local use" range in
Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt is incorrect. The userio driver
already occupies part of that range. I've updated the documentation
accordingly.

The AVR32 architecture support has been removed from the Linux kernel,
hence remove all references to it from Documentation.

On small systems, in the absence of readers, expedited SRCU grace
periods can complete in less than a microsecond. This means that an
eight-CPU system can have all CPUs doing synchronize_srcu() in a tight
loop and almost always expedite. This might actually be desirable in
some situations, but in general it is a good way to needlessly burn
CPU cycles. And in those situations where it is desirable, your friend
is the function synchronize_srcu_expedited().
For other situations, this commit adds a kernel parameter that specifies
a holdoff between completing the last SRCU grace period and auto-expediting
the next. If the next grace period starts before the holdoff expires,
auto-expediting is disabled. The holdoff is 50 microseconds by default,
and can be tuned to the desired number of nanoseconds. A value of zero
disables auto-expediting.

IOMMU harms performance signficantly when we run very fast networking
workloads. It's 40GB networking doing XDP test. Software overhead is
almost unaware, but it's the IOTLB miss (based on our analysis) which
kills the performance. We observed the same performance issue even with
software passthrough (identity mapping), only the hardware passthrough
survives. The pps with iommu (with software passthrough) is only about
~30% of that without it. This is a limitation in hardware based on our
observation, so we'd like to disable the IOMMU force on, but we do want
to use TBOOT and we can sacrifice the DMA security bought by IOMMU. I
must admit I know nothing about TBOOT, but TBOOT guys (cc-ed) think not
eabling IOMMU is totally ok.
So introduce a new boot option to disable the force on. It's kind of
silly we need to run into intel_iommu_init even without force on, but we
need to disable TBOOT PMR registers. For system without the boot option,
nothing is changed.

In Documentation/process/4.Coding.rst there were a couple of paragraphs
that spilled over the 80 character line length. This was likely caused
when the document was converted to reStructuredText. Re-flow the
paragraphs and make the document references proper reStructuredText
:ref: links.
This also adds the appropriate reStructuredText file heading to
kernel-parameters.rst as referenced by the kernel-parameters link in
this patch.

The IOMMU core currently initialises the default domain for each group
to IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA, under the assumption that devices will use
IOMMU-backed DMA ops by default. However, in some cases it is desirable
for the DMA ops to bypass the IOMMU for performance reasons, reserving
use of translation for subsystems such as VFIO that require it for
enforcing device isolation.
Rather than modify each IOMMU driver to provide different semantics for
DMA domains, instead we introduce a command line parameter that can be
used to change the type of the default domain. Passthrough can then be
specified using "iommu.passthrough=1" on the kernel command line.

Disable kasan after the first report. There are several reasons for
this:
- Single bug quite often has multiple invalid memory accesses causing
storm in the dmesg.
- Write OOB access might corrupt metadata so the next report will print
bogus alloc/free stacktraces.
- Reports after the first easily could be not bugs by itself but just
side effects of the first one.
Given that multiple reports usually only do harm, it makes sense to
disable kasan after the first one. If user wants to see all the
reports, the boot-time parameter kasan_multi_shot must be used.

Introduce a simple data structure for collecting correctable errors
along with accessors. More detailed description in the code itself.
The error decoding is done with the decoding chain now and
mce_first_notifier() gets to see the error first and the CEC decides
whether to log it and then the rest of the chain doesn't hear about it -
basically the main reason for the CE collector - or to continue running
the notifiers.
When the CEC hits the action threshold, it will try to soft-offine the
page containing the ECC and then the whole decoding chain gets to see
the error.

Add support for earlyprintk by writing debug messages to the
USB3 debug port. Users can use this type of early printk by
specifying the kernel parameter of "earlyprintk=xdbc". This
gives users a chance of providing debugging output.
The hardware for USB3 debug port requires DMA memory blocks.
This requires to delay setting up debugging hardware and
registering boot console until the memblocks are filled.

Add 'consistency_policy' attribute for array. It indicates how the array
maintains consistency in case of unexpected shutdown.
Add 'ppl_sector' and 'ppl_size' for rdev, which describe the location
and size of the PPL space on the device. They can't be changed for
active members if the array is started and PPL is enabled, so in the
setter functions only basic checks are performed. More checks are done
in ppl_validate_rdev() when starting the log.
These attributes are writable to allow enabling PPL for external
metadata arrays and (later) to enable/disable PPL for a running array.

The user/admin documentation of cpufreq is badly outdated. It
conains stale and/or inaccurate information along with things
that are not particularly useful. Also, some of the important
pieces are missing from it.
For this reason, add a new user/admin document for cpufreq
containing current information to admin-guide and drop the old
outdated .txt documents it is replacing.
Since there will be more PM documents in admin-guide going forward,
create a separate directory for them and put the cpufreq document
in there right away.
