The docs on creating an input device driver have an example in which
button_dev is a pointer to an input_dev struct. However, in two code

occurrences of button_dev reflect that it is a pointer.

docs: add SVG version of the Linux logo
In the Rust for Linux patch series, Jonathan Corbet requested [1] that
we avoid binary assets (such as the logo), possibly by recreating
them in SVG format.
However, it turns out there is no SVG version of the Linux logo
in the kernel tree yet, only a GIF one from the pre-v2.0.0 days.
This patch fixes that by adding a SVG version of the Linux logo,
which we could then use in the Rust for Linux documentation and
other similar places.
This is a vector re-illustration by Garrett LeSage of the original
logo by Larry Ewing, plus cleanups by IFo Hancroft.

Here, the acknowledgement requirement has been made mandatory to
match the wording of the existing GIF logo in `COPYING-logo`.
Both Garrett LeSage and IFo Hancroft gave their permission [2,3]
to use their re-illustration with the license as given in
the `COPYING-logo` file.

docs: move Linux logo into a new `images` folder
Having assets in the top-level `Documentation` directory can make
it harder to find the documents one needs, especially if we want
to add more of them later on.
Instead, create a new `images` folder inside it that is used
to hold assets such as logos.
In addition, update the reference in `scripts/spdxcheck-test.sh`.
Closely following the outline of Mel Gorman's book "Understanding the
Linux Virtual Memory Manager", add a new outline. Preserve the current
contents of the mm underneath the new outline so we can transition those
documents to a more sensible place later.

After being merged, user_events become more visible to a wider audience
that have concerns with the current API.
It is too late to fix this for this release, but instead of a full
revert, just mark it as BROKEN (which prevents it from being selected in
make config). Then we can work finding a better API. If that fails,
then it will need to be completely reverted.
To not have the code silently bitrot, still allow building it with
COMPILE_TEST.
And to prevent the uapi header from being installed, then later changed,
and then have an old distro user space see the old version, move the
header file out of the uapi directory.
Surround the include with CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST to the current location,
but when the BROKEN tag is taken off, it will use the uapi directory,
and fail to compile. This is a good way to remind us to move the header
back.
tracing: Move user_events.h temporarily out of include/uapi
While user_events API is under development and has been marked for broken
to not let the API become fixed, move the header file out of the uapi
directory. This is to prevent it from being installed, then later changed,
and then have an old distro user space update with a new kernel, where
applications see the user_events being available, but the old header is in
place, and then they get compiled incorrectly.
Also, surround the include with CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST to the current
location, but when the BROKEN tag is taken off, it will use the uapi
directory, and fail to compile. This is a good way to remind us to move
the header back.

ftrace: Make ftrace_graph_is_dead() a static branch
ftrace_graph_is_dead() is used on hot paths, it just reads a variable
in memory and is not worth suffering function call constraints.
For instance, at entry of prepare_ftrace_return(), inlining it avoids
saving prepare_ftrace_return() parameters to stack and restoring them
after calling ftrace_graph_is_dead().
While at it using a static branch is even more performant and is
rather well adapted considering that the returned value will almost
never change.
Inline ftrace_graph_is_dead() and replace 'kill_ftrace_graph' bool
by a static branch.
