Merge branch 'submitting-drivers-removal' into docs-next
Lukas Bulwahn says:
Here is an attempt to delete submitting-drivers with some improvements
and clean-up in other documentation places to convince ourselves that
nothing valuable is lost when deleting this checklist.
Patch 1, 2 and 3 is just basic clean-up before adding a new reference
(see Patch 4). Patch 4 adds the one reference from submitting-drivers,
not already mentioned elsewhere in the repository. Patch 5 updates a
confusing statement in devices.rst from earlier .txt/.tex distinction
times to the new state now with Sphinx & .rst.
Patch 6 finally deletes the outdated document, with a cross-check what is
covered elsewhere and few open questions (see below).
Patch 7 and 8 have been reworked with the native-speaking doc
maintainers; they cause no new warnings and are ready to pick,
Patch 9 to 11 are weak attempts to adjust the translation, but they need
to be taken further by others due to my lack of knowledge on the other
languages. They would currently also cause new warnings in the doc-build
right now. They should not be picked if there is no one to continue to
adjust the text and fix the warnings on broken references.
Additionally, this branch includes a translation fix from Alex Shi.
docs: ja_JP: howto: remove reference to removed submitting-drivers
The document submitting-drivers.rst was deleted. This removes the
corresponding reference in the Japanese translation of the howto,
with some assistance from Akira Yokasawa.
Commit ff161c1ce081 ("docs: add a warning to submitting-drivers.rst")
in October 2016 already warns "This (...) should maybe just be deleted,
but I'm not quite ready to do that yet".
Maybe, six years ago, we were not ready but let us remove old content
for the better now and structure and maintain less content in the kernel
documentation with a better result.
Drop this already outdated document and adjust all textual references.
Here is an argument why deleting the content will not remove any useful
information to the existing kernel documentation, individually broken down
for each section.
Section "Allocating Device Numbers" refers to https://www.lanana.org/, and
then refers to Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst.
However, the devices.rst clearly states:
"The version of this document at lanana.org is no longer maintained."
Everything needed for submitting drivers is already stated in devices.rst
and the reference to https://www.lanana.org/ is outdated, and should be
just deleted.
Section "Who To Submit Drivers To" is all about Linux 2.0 - 2.6, before
the new release version scheme; the mentioned developers are still around,
but actually not the first developers to contact anymore.
Section "What Criteria Determine Acceptance" has a few bullet points:
Licensing and Copyright is well-covered in process/kernel-license.rst.
Interfaces, Code, Portability, Clarity state some obvious things about
ensuring kernel code quality.
Control suggests to add a MAINTAINERS entry, which is already mentioned in
6.Followthrough.rst: "... added yourself to the MAINTAINERS file..."
PM support states a bit about implementing and testing power management of
a driver, it remains an open question where to place that in the process
documents. Driver developers interested in power management will find the
corresponding part on power management in the kernel documentation anyway.
In section "What Criteria Do Not Determine Acceptance", the points Vendor
and Author states something basic consequence of the kernel being an
open-source community software development. Probably no need to mention it
nowadays.
Section "Resources" lists resources that are also mentioned elsewhere more
central.

docs: admin: devices: drop confusing outdated statement on Latex
The statement that the Latex version of Linux Device List is unmaintained,
must go back to some historic time where there were actually two separate
document sources, one in a txt format and another in a tex format (maybe
even just on lanana.org).
Nowadays, html and tex are generated from the ReST document file and the
statement might be confused, believing the actual generated LaTeX document
from the maintained ReST document could be an unmaintained one.
Remove this statement on the LaTeX version and only keep pointing out that
the version on lanana.org is no longer maintained.

docs: automarkup: do not look up symbols twice
The automarkup code tries to look up symbols once as a function, and once
as a macro. The Sphinx C domain code, though, totally ignores that
distinction and will return the same results either way. So just look
things up once and be done with it; the resulting output does not change,
but htmldocs build time drops by about 5%.
The automarkup code tries to create a lot of cross-references that don't
exist. Cross-reference lookups are expensive, especially in later versions
of Sphinx, so there is value in avoiding unnecessary ones. Remember
attempts that failed and do not retry them.
This improves the htmldocs build time by 5-10% depending on the phase of
the moon and other factors.

Pull random number generator fixes from Jason Donenfeld:
- A fix for a 5.19 regression for a case in which early device tree
initializes the RNG, which flips a static branch.
On most plaforms, jump labels aren't initialized until much later, so
this caused splats. On a few mailing list threads, we cooked up easy
fixes for arm64, arm32, and risc-v. But then things looked slightly
more involved for xtensa, powerpc, arc, and mips. And at that point,
when we're patching 7 architectures in a place before the console is
even available, it seems like the cost/risk just wasn't worth it.
So random.c works around it now by checking the already exported
`static_key_initialized` boolean, as though somebody already ran into
this issue in the past. I'm not super jazzed about that; it'd be
prettier to not have to complicate downstream code. But I suppose
it's practical.
- A few small code nits and adding a missing __init annotation.
- A change to the default config values to use the cpu and bootloader's
seeds for initializing the RNG earlier.
This brings them into line with what all the distros do (Fedora/RHEL,
Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, NixOS, Alpine, SUSE, and Void... at
least), and moreover will now give us test coverage in various test
beds that might have caught the above device tree bug earlier.
- A change to WireGuard CI's configuration to increase test coverage
around the RNG.
- A documentation comment fix to unrelated maintainerless CRC code that
I was asked to take, I guess because it has to do with polynomials
(which the RNG thankfully no longer uses).

iov_iter: fix build issue due to possible type mis-match
Commit c60809fae807 ("iov_iter: Fix iter_xarray_get_pages{,_alloc}()")
introduced a problem on some 32-bit architectures (at least arm, xtensa,
csky,sparc and mips), that have a 'size_t' that is 'unsigned int'.
The reason is that we now do
min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);
where 'nr' and 'offset' and both 'unsigned int', and PAGE_SIZE is
'unsigned long'. As a result, the normal C type rules means that the
first argument to 'min()' ends up being 'unsigned long'.
In contrast, 'maxsize' is of type 'size_t'.
Now, 'size_t' and 'unsigned long' are always the same physical type in
the kernel, so you'd think this doesn't matter, and from an actual
arithmetic standpoint it doesn't.
But on 32-bit architectures 'size_t' is commonly 'unsigned int', even if
it could also be 'unsigned long'. In that situation, both are unsigned
32-bit types, but they are not the *same* type.
And as a result 'min()' will complain about the distinct types (ignore
the "pointer types" part of the error message: that's an artifact of the
way we have made 'min()' check types for being the same):
lib/iov_iter.c: In function 'iter_xarray_get_pages':
include/linux/minmax.h:20:35: error: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [-Werror]
20 | (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1)))
| ^~
lib/iov_iter.c:1464:16: note: in expansion of macro 'min'
1464 | return min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);
| ^~~
This was not visible on 64-bit architectures (where we always define
'size_t' to be 'unsigned long').
Force these cases to use 'min_t(size_t, x, y)' to make the type explicit
and avoid the issue.
[ Nit-picky note: technically 'size_t' doesn't have to match 'unsigned
long' arithmetically. We've certainly historically seen environments
with 16-bit address spaces and 32-bit 'unsigned long'.
Similarly, even in 64-bit modern environments, 'size_t' could be its
own type distinct from 'unsigned long', even if it were arithmetically
identical.
So the above type commentary is only really descriptive of the kernel
environment, not some kind of universal truth for the kinds of wild
and crazy situations that are allowed by the C standard ]

wireguard: selftests: use maximum cpu features and allow rng seeding
By forcing the maximum CPU that QEMU has available, we expose additional
capabilities, such as the RNDR instruction, which increases test
coverage. This then allows the CI to skip the fake seeding step in some
cases. Also enable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX to catch issues related to early
jump labels when the RNG is initialized at boot.

Call virtio_device_ready() to make this driver work after commit b4ec69d7e09 ("virtio: harden vring IRQ"), since the driver uses the
virtqueues in the probe function. (The virtio core sets the device
ready when probe returns.)
