Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning
up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more
closely match the structure of the source directories it describes.
All in-kernel references to the old paths have been updated.

Add a text explaining how to quickly build a kernel, as that's something
users will often have to do when they want to report an issue or test
proposed fixes. This is a huge and frightening task for quite a few
users these days, as many rely on pre-compiled kernels and have never
built their own. They find help on quite a few websites explaining the
process in various ways, but those howtos often omit important details
or make things too hard for the 'quickly build just for testing' case
that 'localmodconfig' is really useful for. Hence give users something
at hand to guide them, as that makes it easier for them to help with
testing, debugging, and fixing the kernel.
To keep the complexity at bay, the document explicitly focuses on how to
compile the kernel on commodity distributions running on commodity
hardware. People that deal with less common distributions or hardware
will often know their way around already anyway.
The text describes a few oddities of Arch and Debian that were found by
the author and a few volunteers that tested the described procedure.
There are likely more such quirks that need to be covered as well as a
few things the author will have missed -- but one has to start
somewhere.
The document heavily uses anchors and links to them, which makes things
slightly harder to read in the source form. But the intended target
audience is way more likely to read rendered versions of this text on
pages like docs.kernel.org anyway -- and there those anchors and links
allow easy jumps to the reference section and back, which makes the
document a lot easier to work with for the intended target audience.
Aspects relevant for bisection were left out on purpose, as that is a
related, but in the end different use case. The rough plan is to have a
second document with a similar style to cover bisection. The idea is to
reuse a few bits from this document and link quite often to entries in
the reference section with the help of the anchors in this text.

Sort the NFS kernel command line parameters. This is done in 4 groups
so as to not have them intermingled: 'nfs' module parameters, 'nfs4'
module parameters, 'nfsd' module parameters, and nfs "global" (__setup,
no module) parameters.
There were 5 parameters which were listed with a space between the
parameter name and the following '=' sign. The space has been
removed since module parameters expect 'parameter=' with no intervening
space.

As a follow-up to a discussion at the 2021 Maintainer's Summit on the
topic of maintainer recruitment and retention, the TAB took on the
task of creating a document which to help companies and other
organizations to grow in their ability to engage with the Linux Kernel
development community, using the Maturity Model[2] framework.
The goal is to encourage, in a management-friendly way, companies to
allow their engineers to contribute with the upstream Linux Kernel
development community, so we can grow the "talent pipeline" for
contributors to become respected leaders, and eventually kernel
maintainers.

Commit aa47a7c215e7 ("lib/cpumask: deprecate nr_cpumask_bits") resulted
in the cpumask operations potentially becoming hugely less efficient,
because suddenly the cpumask was always considered to be variable-sized.
The optimization was then later added back in a limited form by commit
6f9c07be9d02 ("lib/cpumask: add FORCE_NR_CPUS config option"), but that
FORCE_NR_CPUS option is not useful in a generic kernel and more of a
special case for embedded situations with fixed hardware.
Instead, just re-introduce the optimization, with some changes.
Instead of depending on CPUMASK_OFFSTACK being false, and then always
using the full constant cpumask width, this introduces three different
cpumask "sizes":
- the exact size (nr_cpumask_bits) remains identical to nr_cpu_ids.
This is used for situations where we should use the exact size.
- the "small" size (small_cpumask_bits) is the NR_CPUS constant if it
fits in a single word and the bitmap operations thus end up able
to trigger the "small_const_nbits()" optimizations.
This is used for the operations that have optimized single-word
cases that get inlined, notably the bit find and scanning functions.
- the "large" size (large_cpumask_bits) is the NR_CPUS constant if it
is an sufficiently small constant that makes simple "copy" and
"clear" operations more efficient.
This is arbitrarily set at four words or less.
As a an example of this situation, without this fixed size optimization,
cpumask_clear() will generate code like
movl nr_cpu_ids(%rip), %edx
addq $63, %rdx
shrq $3, %rdx
andl $-8, %edx
callq memset@PLT
on x86-64, because it would calculate the "exact" number of longwords
that need to be cleared.
In contrast, with this patch, using a MAX_CPU of 64 (which is quite a
reasonable value to use), the above becomes a single
movq $0,cpumask
instruction instead, because instead of caring to figure out exactly how
many CPU's the system has, it just knows that the cpumask will be a
single word and can just clear it all.
Note that this does end up tightening the rules a bit from the original
version in another way: operations that set bits in the cpumask are now
limited to the actual nr_cpu_ids limit, whereas we used to do the
nr_cpumask_bits thing almost everywhere in the cpumask code.
But if you just clear bits, or scan for bits, we can use the simpler
compile-time constants.
In the process, remove 'cpumask_complement()' and 'for_each_cpu_not()'
which were not useful, and which fundamentally have to be limited to
'nr_cpu_ids'. Better remove them now than have somebody introduce use
of them later.
Of course, on x86-64 with MAXSMP there is no sane small compile-time
constant for the cpumask sizes, and we end up using the actual CPU bits,
and will generate the above kind of horrors regardless. Please don't
use MAXSMP unless you really expect to have machines with thousands of
cores.

Pull VM_FAULT_RETRY fixes from Al Viro:
"Some of the page fault handlers do not deal with the following case
correctly:
- handle_mm_fault() has returned VM_FAULT_RETRY
- there is a pending fatal signal
- fault had happened in kernel mode
Correct action in such case is not "return unconditionally" - fatal
signals are handled only upon return to userland and something like
copy_to_user() would end up retrying the faulting instruction and
triggering the same fault again and again.
What we need to do in such case is to make the caller to treat that as
failed uaccess attempt - handle exception if there is an exception
handler for faulting instruction or oops if there isn't one.
Over the years some architectures had been fixed and now are handling
that case properly; some still do not. This series should fix the
remaining ones.
Status:
- m68k, riscv, hexagon, parisc: tested/acked by maintainers.
- alpha, sparc32, sparc64: tested locally - bug has been reproduced
on the unpatched kernel and verified to be fixed by this series.
- ia64, microblaze, nios2, openrisc: build, but otherwise completely
untested"

include/linux/compiler-intel.h had no update in the past 3 years.
We often forget about the third C compiler to build the kernel.
For example, commit a0a12c3ed057 ("asm goto: eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO")
only mentioned GCC and Clang.
init/Kconfig defines CC_IS_GCC and CC_IS_CLANG but not CC_IS_ICC,
and nobody has reported any issue.
I guess the Intel Compiler support is broken, and nobody is caring
about it.
Harald Arnesen pointed out ICC (classic Intel C/C++ compiler) is
deprecated:
$ icc -v
icc: remark #10441: The Intel(R) C++ Compiler Classic (ICC) is
deprecated and will be removed from product release in the second half
of 2023. The Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler (ICX) is the recommended
compiler moving forward. Please transition to use this compiler. Use
'-diag-disable=10441' to disable this message.
icc version 2021.7.0 (gcc version 12.1.0 compatibility)

The migration code ends up temporarily stashing information of the wrong
type in unused fields of the newly allocated destination folio. That
all works fine, but gcc does complain about the pointer type mis-use:
mm/migrate.c: In function ‘__migrate_folio_extract’:
mm/migrate.c:1050:20: note: randstruct: casting between randomized structure pointer types (ssa): ‘struct anon_vma’ and ‘struct address_space’
1050 | *anon_vmap = (void *)dst->mapping;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and gcc is actually right to complain since it really doesn't understand
that this is a very temporary special case where this is ok.
This could be fixed in different ways by just obfuscating the assignment
sufficiently that gcc doesn't see what is going on, but the truly
"proper C" way to do this is by explicitly using a union.
Using unions for type conversions like this is normally hugely ugly and
syntactically nasty, but this really is one of the few cases where we
want to make it clear that we're not doing type conversion, we're really
re-using the value bit-for-bit just using another type.
IOW, this should not become a common pattern, but in this one case using
that odd union is probably the best way to document to the compiler what
is conceptually going on here.
[ Side note: there are valid cases where we convert pointers to other
pointer types, notably the whole "folio vs page" situation, where the
types actually have fundamental commonalities.
The fact that the gcc note is limited to just randomized structures
means that we don't see equivalent warnings for those cases, but it
migth also mean that we miss other cases where we do play these kinds
of dodgy games, and this kind of explicit conversion might be a good
idea. ]
I verified that at least for an allmodconfig build on x86-64, this
generates the exact same code, apart from line numbers and assembler
comment changes.

The usermodehelper code uses two fake pointers for the two capability
cases: CAP_BSET for reading and writing 'usermodehelper_bset', and
CAP_PI to read and write 'usermodehelper_inheritable'.
This seems to be a completely unnecessary indirection, since we could
instead just use the pointers themselves, and never have to do any "if
this then that" kind of logic.
So just get rid of the fake pointer values, and use the real pointer
values instead.
