The stuff under sysctl describes /sys interface from userspace
point of view. So, add it to the admin-guide and remove the
:orphan: from its index file.

53b9537509 docs: sysctl: convert to ReST
Rename the /proc/sys/ documentation files to ReST, using the
README file as a template for an index.rst, adding the other
files there via TOC markup.

Despite being written on different times with different
styles, try to make them somewhat coherent with a similar
look and feel, ensuring that they'll look nice as both
raw text file and as via the html output produced by the
Sphinx build system.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

751ad98d5f asm-generic, x86: add bitops instrumentation for KASAN
This adds a new header to asm-generic to allow optionally instrumenting
architecture-specific asm implementations of bitops.

This change includes the required change for x86 as reference and
changes the kernel API doc to point to bitops-instrumented.h instead.
Rationale: the functions in x86's bitops.h are no longer the kernel API
functions, but instead the arch_ prefixed functions, which are then
instrumented via bitops-instrumented.h.

Other architectures can similarly add support for asm implementations of
bitops.

The documentation text was derived from x86 and existing bitops
asm-generic versions: 1) references to x86 have been removed; 2) as a
result, some of the text had to be reworded for clarity and consistency.

Tested using lib/test_kasan with bitops tests (pre-requisite patch).

 "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"

4c54294d01 timekeeping: Add missing _ns functions for coarse accessors
This further unifies the accessors for the fast and coarse functions, so
that the same types of functions are available for each. There was also
a bit of confusion with the documentation, which prior advertised a
function that has never existed. Finally, the vanilla ktime_get_coarse()
was omitted from the API originally, so this fills this oversight.

3e5903eb9c vsprintf: Prevent crash when dereferencing invalid pointers
We already prevent crash when dereferencing some obviously broken
pointers. But the handling is not consistent. Sometimes we print "(null)"
only for pure NULL pointer, sometimes for pointers in the first
page and sometimes also for pointers in the last page (error codes).

Note that printk() call this code under logbuf_lock. Any recursive
printks are redirected to the printk_safe implementation and the messages
are stored into per-CPU buffers. These buffers might be eventually flushed
in printk_safe_flush_on_panic() but it is not guaranteed.

This patch adds a check using probe_kernel_read(). It is not a full-proof
test. But it should help to see the error message in 99% situations where
the kernel would silently crash otherwise.

Also it makes the error handling unified for "%s" and the many %p*
specifiers that need to read the data from a given address. We print:

   + (null)   when accessing data on pure pure NULL address
   + (efault) when accessing data on an invalid address

It does not affect the %p* specifiers that just print the given address
in some form, namely %pF, %pf, %pS, %ps, %pB, %pK, %px, and plain %p.

Note that we print (efault) from security reasons. In fact, the real
address can be seen only by %px or eventually %pK.

ba20ba2e37 generic radix trees
Very simple radix tree implementation that supports storing arbitrary
size entries, up to PAGE_SIZE - upcoming patches will convert existing
flex_array users to genradixes.  The new genradix code has a much
simpler API and implementation, and doesn't have a hard limit on the
number of elements like flex_array does.

Pull XArray updates from Matthew Wilcox:
 "This pull request changes the xa_alloc() API. I'm only aware of one
  subsystem that has started trying to use it, and we agree on the fixup
  as part of the merge.

  The xa_insert() error code also changed to match xa_alloc() (EEXIST to
  EBUSY), and I added xa_alloc_cyclic(). Beyond that, the usual
  bugfixes, optimisations and tweaking.

  I now have a git tree with all users of the radix tree and IDR
  converted over to the XArray that I'll be feeding to maintainers over
  the next few weeks"

2fa044e51a XArray: Add cyclic allocation
This differs slightly from the IDR equivalent in five ways.

1. It can allocate up to UINT_MAX instead of being limited to INT_MAX,
   like xa_alloc().  Also like xa_alloc(), it will write to the 'id'
   pointer before placing the entry in the XArray.
2. The 'next' cursor is allocated separately from the XArray instead
   of being part of the IDR.  This saves memory for all the users which
   do not use the cyclic allocation API and suits some users better.
3. It returns -EBUSY instead of -ENOSPC.
4. It will attempt to wrap back to the minimum value on memory allocation
   failure as well as on an -EBUSY error, assuming that a user would
   rather allocate a small ID than suffer an ID allocation failure.
5. It reports whether it has wrapped, which is important to some users.

3ccaf57a6a XArray: Add support for 1s-based allocation
A lot of places want to allocate IDs starting at 1 instead of 0.
While the xa_alloc() API supports this, it's not very efficient if lots
of IDs are allocated, due to having to walk down to the bottom of the
tree to see if ID 1 is available, then all the way over to the next
non-allocated ID.  This method marks ID 0 as being occupied which wastes
one slot in the XArray, but preserves xa_empty() as working.

fd9dc93e36 XArray: Change xa_insert to return -EBUSY

47b8f3ab9c refcount_t: Add ACQUIRE ordering on success for dec(sub)_and_test() variants
This adds an smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() barrier on successful
decrease of refcounter value from 1 to 0 for refcount_dec(sub)_and_test
variants and therefore gives stronger memory ordering guarantees than
prior versions of these functions.

This seems to be caused by the use of a hyphen in the label name instead
of an underscore.  Using an underscore for the label name and the
