Onewire devices has 6 byte long unique serial numbers, 1 byte family
code and 1 byte CRC. Linux sysfs presents the device folder in the
form of familyID-deviceID, so CRC is not shown. The consequence is
that the device serial number is always a 12 long hex-string, but
doc says 13 in one place. This is corrected by this change.

All non-historic operating systems support the full range of Unicode here,
thus you can make filenames for example in Gothic (𐌼𐌴𐍉𐍅), the other Gothic
(𝓂ℯℴ𝓌) or the third Gothic (𝗆𝖾𝗈𝗐), or declare something as 💩.
Characters above U+FFFF are encoded on four bytes.

Hashing addresses printed with printk specifier %p was implemented

Documentation/printk-formats.txt is a candidate for conversion to
ReStructuredText format. Some effort has already been made to do this
conversion even thought the suffix is currently .txt
Changes required to complete conversion
- Move printk-formats.txt to core-api/printk-formats.rst
- Add entry to Documentation/core-api/index.rst
- Remove entry from Documentation/00-INDEX
- Fix minor grammatical errors.
- Order heading adornments as suggested by rst docs.
- Use 'Passed by reference' uniformly.
- Update pointer documentation around %px specifier.
- Fix erroneous double backticks (to commas).
- Remove extraneous double backticks (suggested by Jonathan Corbet).
- Simplify documentation for kobject.

Document the preference [1] for new CONFIG options to "default n" (or
not use default at all) in order to minimizes changes to the config,
especially to avoid "make oldconfig" growing unnecessarily from release
to release.
Document the exceptions where it is acceptable to use "default y/m" for
new CONFIG options.

There is currently very little documentation in the kernel on maintainer
level tasks. In particular there are no documents on creating pull
requests to submit to Linus.
Quoting Greg Kroah-Hartman on LKML:
Anyway, this actually came up at the kernel summit / maintainer
meeting a few weeks ago, in that "how do I make a
good pull request to Linus" is something we need to document.
Here's what I do, and it seems to work well, so maybe we should turn
it into the start of the documentation for how to do it.
(quote references: kernel summit, Europe 2017)
Create a new kernel documentation book 'how to be a maintainer'
(suggested by Jonathan Corbet). Add chapters on 'configuring git' and
'creating a pull request'.
Most of the content was written by Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman
in discussion on LKML. This is stated at the start of one of the
chapters and the original email thread is referenced in
'pull-requests.rst'.

regressions on the Amlogic platforms, and the submaintainer isn't

- A series fixing a number of bugs for ARM CCN interconnect, around
module unload, smp_processor_id() in preemptable context, and fixing
some memory allocation failure checks.
- A handful of devicetree fixes for different platforms, fixing
warnings and errors that were previously ignored by the compiler.

With a nxp,se97 chip on an atmel sama5d31 board, the I2C adapter driver
is not always capable of avoiding the 25-35 ms timeout as specified by
the SMBUS protocol. This may cause silent corruption of the last bit of
any transfer, e.g. a one is read instead of a zero if the sensor chip
times out. This also affects the eeprom half of the nxp-se97 chip, where
this silent corruption was originally noticed. Other I2C adapters probably
suffer similar issues, e.g. bit-banging comes to mind as risky...
The SMBUS register in the nxp chip is not a standard Jedec register, but
it is not special to the nxp chips either, at least the atmel chips
have the same mechanism. Therefore, do not special case this on the
manufacturer, it is opt-in via the device property anyway.

vm direct limit must be set greater than background limit.
The problem is that both thresh and bg_thresh will be 0 if
available_memory is less than 4 pages when evaluating
global_dirtyable_memory.
While this might be worked around the whole point of the warning is
dubious at best. We do rely on admins to do sensible things when
changing tunable knobs. Dirty memory writeback knobs are not any
special in that regards so revert the warning rather than adding more
hacks to work this around.

printk specifier %p now hashes all addresses before printing. Sometimes
we need to see the actual unmodified address. This can be achieved using
%lx but then we face the risk that if in future we want to change the
way the Kernel handles printing of pointers we will have to grep through
the already existent 50 000 %lx call sites. Let's add specifier %px as a
clear, opt-in, way to print a pointer and maintain some level of
isolation from all the other hex integer output within the Kernel.
Add printk specifier %px to print the actual unmodified address.

Currently there exist approximately 14 000 places in the kernel where
addresses are being printed using an unadorned %p. This potentially
leaks sensitive information regarding the Kernel layout in memory. Many
of these calls are stale, instead of fixing every call lets hash the
address by default before printing. This will of course break some
users, forcing code printing needed addresses to be updated.
Code that _really_ needs the address will soon be able to use the new
printk specifier %px to print the address.
For what it's worth, usage of unadorned %p can be broken down as
follows (thanks to Joe Perches).
$ git grep -E '%p[^A-Za-z0-9]' | cut -f1 -d"/" | sort | uniq -c

Add function ptr_to_id() to map an address to a 32 bit unique
identifier. Hash any unadorned usage of specifier %p and any malformed
specifiers.

Current documentation indicates that %pK prints a leading '0x'. This is
not the case.
Correct documentation for printk specifier %pK.

them, they are fairly self contained and small, and only affect
people using HTC Vive VR headsets so far.

- some imx-drm cleanups I missed, these seemed pretty small, and no
reason to hold off.
I have one TTM regression fix (fixes bochs-vga in qemu) sitting
locally awaiting review I'll probably send that in a separate pull
request tomorrow"
