030f066f67 docs: submitting-patches: describe preserving review/test tags
From time to time, the novice kernel contributors do not add Reviewed-by

they are unaware that responsibility of adding these tags in next
version is on submitter, not maintainer.

7dfbea4c46 scripts: remove namespace.pl
namespace.pl is intended to help locate symbols which are defined but
are not used externally. The goal is to avoid bloat of the namespace in
the resulting kernel image.

The script relies on object data, and only finds unused symbols for the
configuration used to generate that object data. This results in a lot
of false positive warnings such as symbols only used by a single
architecture, or symbols which are used externally only under certain
configurations.

Running namespace.pl using allyesconfig, allmodconfig, and
x86_64_defconfig yields the following results:

* allmodconfig
  * 11122 unique symbol names with no external reference
  * 1194 symbols listed as multiply defined
  * 214 symbols it can't resolve
* allyesconfig
  * 10997 unique symbol names with no external reference
  * 1194 symbols listed as multiply defined
  * 214 symbols it can't resolve
* x86_64_defconfig
  * 5757 unique symbol names with no external reference
  * 528 symbols listed as multiply defined
  * 154 symbols it can't resolve

The script also has no way to easily limit the scope of the checks to
a given subset of the kernel, such as only checking for symbols defined
within a module or subsystem.

Discussion on public mailing lists seems to indicate that many view the
tool output as suspect or not very useful (see discussions at [1] and
[2] for further context).

As described by Masahiro Yamada at [2], namespace.pl provides 3 types of
checks: listing multiply defined symbols, resolving external symbols,
and warnings about symbols with no reference.

The first category of issues is easily caught by the linker as any set
of multiply defined symbols should fail to link. The second category of
issues is also caught by linking, as undefined symbols would cause
issues. Even with modules, these types of issues where a module relies
on an external symbol are caught by modpost.

The remaining category of issues reported is the list of symbols with no
external reference, and is the primary motivation of this script.
However, it ought to be clear from the above examples that the output is
difficult to sort through. Even allyesconfig has ~10000 entries.

The current submit-checklist indicates that patches ought to go through
namespacecheck and fix any new issues arising. But that itself presents
problems. As described at [1], many cases of reports are due to
configuration where a function is used externally by some configuration
settings. Prominent maintainers appear to dislike changes modify code
such that symbols become static based on CONFIG_* flags ([3], and [4])

One possible solution is to adjust the advice and indicate that we only
care about the output of namespacecheck on allyesconfig or allmodconfig
builds...

However, given the discussion at [2], I suspect that few people are
actively using this tool. It doesn't have a maintainer in the
MAINTAINERS flie, and it produces so many warnings for unused symbols
that it is difficult to use effectively. Thus, I propose we simply
remove it.

5ff4aa70bf docs: submitting-patches: use :doc: for references
There are two broken references at submitting-patches.rst:

	Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:240: WARNING: undefined label: security-bugs (if the link has no caption the label must precede a section header)
	Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:336: WARNING: undefined label: documentation/process/email-clients.rst (if the link has no caption the label must precede a section header)

Those are due to some recent renames and file moves.

It turns that maintaining :ref: is currently harder than using
:doc:, as we now have a script to help checking such references.

So, replace :ref: to :doc: there, making them to point to the
current file name.

755a2f180c Documentation: clarify driver licensing rules
Greg has challenged some recent driver submitters on their license
choices. He was correct to do so, as the choices in these instances
did not always advance the aims of the submitters.

But, this left submitters (and the folks who help them pick licenses)
a bit confused. They have read things like
Documentation/process/license-rules.rst which says:

	individual source files can have a different license
	which is required to be compatible with the GPL-2.0

and Documentation/process/submitting-drivers.rst:

	We don't insist on any kind of exclusive GPL licensing,
	and if you wish ... you may well wish to release under
	multiple licenses.

As written, these appear a _bit_ more laissez faire than we've been in
practice lately. It sounds like we at least expect submitters to make
a well-reasoned license choice and to explain their rationale. It does
not appear that we blindly accept anything that is simply
GPLv2-compatible.

Drivers appear to be the most acute source of misunderstanding, so fix
the driver documentation first. Update it to clarify expectations.

3519c4d6e0 Documentation: add minimum clang/llvm version
Based on a vote at the LLVM BoF at Plumbers 2020, we decided to start
small, supporting just one formal upstream release of LLVM for now.

We can probably widen the support window of supported versions over
time.  Also, note that LLVM's release process is different than GCC's.
GCC tends to have 1 major release per year while releasing minor updates
to the past 3 major versions.  LLVM tends to support one major release
and one minor release every six months.

2324d50d05 It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a
while to come.  Changes include:
 
  - Some new Chinese translations
 
  - Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS URLs
 
  - Some block-mq documentation
 
  - More RST conversions from Mauro.  At this point, that task is
    essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again for a
    while.  Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or something...:)
 
  - Lots of typo fixes, warning fixes, and more.

Pull READ/WRITE_ONCE rework from Will Deacon:
 "This the READ_ONCE rework I've been working on for a while, which
  bumps the minimum GCC version and improves code-gen on arm64 when
  stack protector is enabled"

[ Side note: I'm _really_ tempted to raise the minimum gcc version to
  4.9, so that we can just say that we require _Generic() support.

  That would allow us to more cleanly handle a lot of the cases where we
  depend on very complex macros with 'sizeof' or __builtin_choose_expr()
  with __builtin_types_compatible_p() etc.

  This branch has a workaround for sparse not handling _Generic(),
  either, but that was already fixed in the sparse development branch,
  so it's really just gcc-4.9 that we'd require.   - Linus ]

* 'rwonce/rework' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux:
  compiler_types.h: Use unoptimized __unqual_scalar_typeof for sparse
  compiler_types.h: Optimize __unqual_scalar_typeof compilation time

b23c4771ff A fair amount of stuff this time around, dominated by yet another massive
set from Mauro toward the completion of the RST conversion.  I *really*
 hope we are getting close to the end of this.  Meanwhile, those patches
 reach pretty far afield to update document references around the tree;
 there should be no actual code changes there.  There will be, alas, more of
 the usual trivial merge conflicts.
 
 Beyond that we have more translations, improvements to the sphinx
 scripting, a number of additions to the sysctl documentation, and lots of
 fixes.

bdc48fa11e checkpatch/coding-style: deprecate 80-column warning
Yes, staying withing 80 columns is certainly still _preferred_.  But
it's not the hard limit that the checkpatch warnings imply, and other
concerns can most certainly dominate.

Increase the default limit to 100 characters.  Not because 100
characters is some hard limit either, but that's certainly a "what are
you doing" kind of value and less likely to be about the occasional
slightly longer lines.

Miscellanea:

 - to avoid unnecessary whitespace changes in files, checkpatch will no
   longer emit a warning about line length when scanning files unless
   --strict is also used

 - Add a bit to coding-style about alignment to open parenthesis

5429ef62bc compiler/gcc: Raise minimum GCC version for kernel builds to 4.8
It is very rare to see versions of GCC prior to 4.8 being used to build
the mainline kernel. These old compilers are also know to have codegen
issues which can lead to silent miscompilation:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145

Raise the minimum GCC version for kernel build to 4.8 and remove some
tautological Kconfig dependencies as a consequence.

0aa78b105f Documentation/changes: Raise minimum supported binutils version to 2.23
The currently minimum-supported binutils version 2.21 has the problem of
promoting symbols which are defined outside of a section into absolute.
According to Arvind:

  binutils-2.21 and -2.22. An x86-64 defconfig will fail with
          Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S relocation: _etext
  and after fixing that one, with
          Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S relocation: __end_of_kernel_reserve

Those two versions of binutils have a bug when it comes to handling
symbols defined outside of a section and binutils 2.23 has the proper
fix, see: https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/binutils/2012-06/msg00155.html

Therefore, up to the fixed version directly, skipping the broken ones.

Currently shipping distros already have the fixed binutils version so
there should be no breakage resulting from this.

For more details about the whole thing, see the thread in Link.
