Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:

   - A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
     than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
     other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
     the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.

   - A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
     and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.

   - Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
     markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
     will never understand, were of the opinion that
     :c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.

   - We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.

   - Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"

docs: fix broken documentation links

2019-06-08T19:42:13+00:00

Mostly due to x86 and acpi conversion, several documentation
links are still pointing to the old file. Fix them.

x86/io_delay: Define IO_DELAY macros in C instead of Kconfig

2019-05-24T06:46:06+00:00

CONFIG_IO_DELAY_TYPE_* are not kernel configuration at all. They just
define constant values, 0, 1, 2, and 3. Define them by #define in C.

CONFIG_DEFAULT_IO_DELAY_TYPE can also be defined in C by using #ifdef
and #define directives.

compiler: allow all arches to enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING

2019-05-15T02:52:48+00:00

Commit 60a3cdd06394 ("x86: add optimized inlining") introduced
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING, but it has been available only for x86.

The idea is obviously arch-agnostic.  This commit moves the config entry
from arch/x86/Kconfig.debug to lib/Kconfig.debug so that all
architectures can benefit from it.

This can make a huge difference in kernel image size especially when
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is enabled.

For example, I got 3.5% smaller arm64 kernel for v5.1-rc1.

  dec       file
  18983424  arch/arm64/boot/Image.before
  18321920  arch/arm64/boot/Image.after

This also slightly improves the "Kernel hacking" Kconfig menu as
e61aca5158a8 ("Merge branch 'kconfig-diet' from Dave Hansen') suggested;
this config option would be a good fit in the "compiler option" menu.

efi/x86: Convert x86 EFI earlyprintk into generic earlycon implementation

2019-02-04T07:27:30+00:00

Move the x86 EFI earlyprintk implementation to a shared location under
drivers/firmware and tweak it slightly so we can expose it as an earlycon
implementation (which is generic) rather than earlyprintk (which is only
implemented for a few architectures)

This also involves switching to write-combine mappings by default (which
is required on ARM since device mappings lack memory semantics, and so
memcpy/memset may not be used on them), and adding support for shared
memory framebuffers on cache coherent non-x86 systems (which do not
tolerate mismatched attributes).

Note that 32-bit ARM does not populate its struct screen_info early
enough for earlycon=efifb to work, so it is disabled there.

x86/kconfig: Remove redundant 'default n' lines from all x86 Kconfig's

2018-10-17T06:39:42+00:00

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.

Also, since commit:

  f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' for visible symbols")

... the Kconfig behavior is the same regardless of 'default n' being present or not:

    ...
    One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
    the following two definitions behave exactly the same:

        config FOO
                bool

        config FOO
                bool
                default n

    With this change, neither of these will generate a
    '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
    That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
    redundant.

Kconfig: consolidate the "Kernel hacking" menu

2018-08-01T23:06:48+00:00

Move the source of lib/Kconfig.debug and arch/$(ARCH)/Kconfig.debug to
the top-level Kconfig.  For two architectures that means moving their
arch-specific symbols in that menu into a new arch Kconfig.debug file,
and for a few more creating a dummy file so that we can include it
unconditionally.

Also move the actual 'Kernel hacking' menu to lib/Kconfig.debug, where
it belongs.

x86, nfit_test: Add unit test for memcpy_mcsafe()

2018-05-23T06:18:31+00:00

Given the fact that the ACPI "EINJ" (error injection) facility is not
universally available, implement software infrastructure to validate the
memcpy_mcsafe() exception handling implementation.

For each potential read exception point in memcpy_mcsafe(), inject a
emulated exception point at the address identified by 'mcsafe_inject'
variable. With this infrastructure implement a test to validate that the
'bytes remaining' calculation is correct for a range of various source
buffer alignments.

This code is compiled out by default. The CONFIG_MCSAFE_DEBUG
configuration symbol needs to be manually enabled by editing
Kconfig.debug. I.e. this functionality can not be accidentally enabled
by a user / distro, it's only for development.

x86: Remove unused IOMMU_STRESS Kconfig

Last use of IOMMU_STRESS was removed in commit 29b68415e335 ("x86:
amd_iommu: move to drivers/iommu/"). 6 years later the Kconfig entry is
definitely due for removal.
