For better maintenance and expansion move the mathematic helpers to the
separate folder.
No functional change intended.
Note, the int_sqrt() is not used as a part of lib, so, moved to regular
obj.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Allow state reset of printk_once() calls.
- Prevent crashes when dereferencing invalid pointers in vsprintf().
Only the first byte is checked for simplicity.
- Make vsprintf warnings consistent and inlined.
- Treewide conversion of obsolete %pf, %pF to %ps, %pF printf
modifiers.
- Some clean up of vsprintf and test_printf code.
* tag 'printk-for-5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk:
lib/vsprintf: Make function pointer_string static
vsprintf: Limit the length of inlined error messages

vsprintf: Prevent crash when dereferencing invalid pointers
vsprintf: Consolidate handling of unknown pointer specifiers

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.

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

I just went looking for the memory allocation guide in the MM docs instead
of in the core API. For the benefit of the next person who makes that
mistake, link to it from the MM docs.

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.

The xa_reserve() function was a little unusual in that it attempted to
be callable for all kinds of locking scenarios. Make it look like the
other APIs with __xa_reserve, xa_reserve_bh and xa_reserve_irq variants.

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"

This version of xa_store_range() really only supports load and store.
Our only user only needs basic load and store functionality, so there's

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.
