2021-03-15docs: Group arch-specific documentation under "CPU Architectures"Jonathan Neuschäfer
To declutter the top-level table of contents (the side bar), this patch reduces the architecture-specfic documentation to one top-level item, "CPU Architectures".

2021-03-15security/loadpin: Update the changing interface in the source code.Jiele zhao
Loadpin cmdline interface "enabled" has been renamed to "enforce" for a long time, but the User Description Document was not updated. (Meaning unchanged) And kernel_read_file* were moved from linux/fs.h to its own linux/kernel_read_file.h include file. So update that change here.

2021-03-15Documentation/features: mark BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH doesn't apply to ARM64Barry Song
BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH is used on x86 to do batched tlb shootdown by sending one IPI to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages rather than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. On arm64, tlb shootdown is done by hardware. Flush instructions are innershareable. The local flushes are limited to the boot (1 per CPU) and when a task is getting a new ASID. So marking this feature as "TODO" is not proper. ".." isn't good as well. So this patch adds a "N/A" for this kind of features which are not needed on some architectures.

2021-03-08docs: conf.py: adjust the LaTeX document outputMauro Carvalho Chehab
Changeset f546ff0c0c07 ("Move our minimum Sphinx version to 1.7") cleaned up some compatibility issues with previous Sphinx versions, but it also dropped the PDF margin sets. Without that, the media documentation won't build fine, as the margins are too wide to display texts with monospaced fonts. While here, align the "latex_elements = {" values, and add a few other sphinxsetup configs in order to allow Sphinx to wrap long lines on literal blocks.

2021-03-08scripts: kernel-doc: fix attribute capture in function parsingAditya Srivastava
Currently, kernel-doc warns for function prototype parsing on the presence of attributes "__attribute_const__" and "__flatten" in the definition. There are 166 occurrences in ~70 files in the kernel tree for "__attribute_const__" and 5 occurrences in 4 files for "__flatten". Out of 166, there are 3 occurrences in three different files with "__attribute_const__" and a preceding kernel-doc; and, 1 occurrence in ./mm/percpu.c for "__flatten" with a preceding kernel-doc. All other occurrences have no preceding kernel-doc. Add support for "__attribute_const__" and "__flatten" attributes. A quick evaluation by running 'kernel-doc -none' on kernel-tree reveals that no additional warning or error has been added or removed by the fix.

2021-03-06fs: eventpoll: fix comments & kernel-doc notationRandy Dunlap
Use the documented kernel-doc format for function Return: descriptions. Begin constant values in kernel-doc comments with '%'. Remove kernel-doc "/**" from 2 functions that are not documented with kernel-doc notation. Fix typos, punctuation, & grammar. Also fix a few kernel-doc warnings: ../fs/eventpoll.c:1883: warning: Function parameter or member 'ep' not described in 'ep_loop_check_proc' ../fs/eventpoll.c:1883: warning: Excess function parameter 'priv' description in 'ep_loop_check_proc' ../fs/eventpoll.c:1932: warning: Function parameter or member 'ep' not described in 'ep_loop_check' ../fs/eventpoll.c:1932: warning: Excess function parameter 'from' description in 'ep_loop_check' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

As started by commit 05a5f51ca566 ("Documentation: Replace lkml.org links with lore"), replace a few more scattered lkml.org links with lore to better use a single source that's more likely to stay available long-term.

2021-03-06docs: arm: marvell: replace stale links with archive linksLubomir Rintel
Marvell has an annoying habit of moving stuff around their web site every full moon, and often just removing documents altogether. At this point basically none but four of the links still works and even those that work today weren't working for a long period of time previously. That is a shame because (short of the product briefs) the documents tend to be quite useful. Let's replace them with known working versions of IA's Wayback Machine links. That seems to be about the only way of getting a URL that's going to work the next week.

2021-03-06Documentation/submitting-patches: Extend commit message layout descriptionBorislav Petkov
Add more blurb about the level of detail that should be contained in a patch's commit message. Extend and make more explicit what text should be added under the --- line. Extend examples and split into more easily palatable paragraphs. This has been partially carved out from a tip subsystem handbook patchset by Thomas Gleixner: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181107171010.421878737@linutronix.de and incorporates follow-on comments.

2021-03-06docs: reporting-issues.rst: explain how to decode stack tracesThorsten Leemhuis
Replace placeholder text about decoding stack traces with a section that properly describes what a typical user should do these days. To make it works for them, add a paragraph in an earlier section to ensure people build their kernels with everything that's needed to decode stack traces later.
