2023-08-18docs: kernel-parameters: Refer to the correct bitmap functionAndy Shevchenko
The parser of the CPU lists is bitmap_parselist() that supports special notations with the plain numbers. bitmap_parse() never supported those and will fail in case one will try it.

2023-04-18LoongArch: Make WriteCombine configurable for ioremap()Huacai Chen
LoongArch maintains cache coherency in hardware, but when paired with LS7A chipsets the WUC attribute (Weak-ordered UnCached, which is similar to WriteCombine) is out of the scope of cache coherency machanism for PCIe devices (this is a PCIe protocol violation, which may be fixed in newer chipsets). This means WUC can only used for write-only memory regions now, so this option is disabled by default, making WUC silently fallback to SUC for ioremap(). You can enable this option if the kernel is ensured to run on hardware without this bug. Kernel parameter writecombine=on/off can be used to override the Kconfig option.

2021-05-10bitmap_parse: Support 'all' semanticsYury Norov
RCU code supports an 'all' group as a special case when parsing rcu_nocbs parameter. This patch moves the 'all' support to the core bitmap_parse code, so that all bitmap users can enjoy this extension. Moving 'all' parsing to a bitmap_parse level also allows users to pass patterns together with 'all' in regular group:pattern format, for example, "rcu_nocbs=all:1/2" would offload all the even-numbered CPUs regardless of the number of CPUs on the system.

2021-03-08lib: bitmap: support "N" as an alias for size of bitmapPaul Gortmaker
While this is done for all bitmaps, the original use case in mind was for CPU masks and cpulist_parse() as described below. It seems that a common configuration is to use the 1st couple cores for housekeeping tasks. This tends to leave the remaining ones to form a pool of similarly configured cores to take on the real workload of interest to the user. So on machine A - with 32 cores, it could be 0-3 for "system" and then 4-31 being used in boot args like nohz_full=, or rcu_nocbs= as part of setting up the worker pool of CPUs. But then newer machine B is added, and it has 48 cores, and so while the 0-3 part remains unchanged, the pool setup cpu list becomes 4-47. Multiple deployment becomes easier when we can just simply replace 31 and 47 with "N" and let the system substitute in the actual number at boot; a number that it knows better than we do.
