Debug messages from the system suspend/hibernation infrastructure
are disabled by default, and can only be enabled after the system
has boot up via /sys/power/pm_debug_messages.
This makes the hibernation resume hard to track as it involves system
boot up across hibernation. There's no chance for software_resume()
to track the resume process, for example.
Add a kernel command line option to set pm_debug_messages during
boot up.

Currently io_ticks is approximated by adding one at each start and end of
requests if jiffies counter has changed. This works perfectly for requests
shorter than a jiffy or if one of requests starts/ends at each jiffy.
If disk executes just one request at a time and they are longer than two
jiffies then only first and last jiffies will be accounted.
Fix is simple: at the end of request add up into io_ticks jiffies passed
since last update rather than just one jiffy.
Example: common HDD executes random read 4k requests around 12ms.
fio --name=test --filename=/dev/sdb --rw=randread --direct=1 --runtime=30 &
iostat -x 10 sdb
Note changes of iostat's "%util" 8,43% -> 99,99% before/after patch:
Before:
Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util
sdb 0,00 0,00 82,60 0,00 330,40 0,00 8,00 0,96 12,09 12,09 0,00 1,02 8,43
After:
Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util
sdb 0,00 0,00 82,50 0,00 330,00 0,00 8,00 1,00 12,10 12,10 0,00 12,12 99,99
Now io_ticks does not loose time between start and end of requests, but
for queue-depth > 1 some I/O time between adjacent starts might be lost.
For load estimation "%util" is not as useful as average queue length,
but it clearly shows how often disk queue is completely empty.

BGRT is for displaying seamless OEM logo from booting to login screen;
however, this mechanism does not always work well on all configurations
and the OEM logo can be displayed multiple times. This looks worse than
without BGRT enabled.
This patch adds a kernel parameter to disable BGRT in boot time. This is
easier than re-compiling a kernel with CONFIG_ACPI_BGRT disabled.

softlockup_panic sysctl, but didn't add information about it to the file
Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.rst (which in that time certainly
wasn't rst and had other name!).
This patch just adds the respective documentation and references it from

This patch was strongly based on Scott Wood's commit d22881dc13

fwnode_operations.add_links allows creating device links from
information provided by firmware.
fwnode_operations.add_links is currently implemented only by
OF/devicetree code and a specific case of efi. However, there's nothing
preventing ACPI or other firmware types from implementing it.
The OF implementation is currently controlled by a kernel commandline
parameter called of_devlink.
Since this feature is generic isn't limited to OF, add a generic
fw_devlink kernel commandline parameter to control this feature across
firmware types.

There are three legacy driver documents in Documentation/cpu-freq/
that were added years ago and converting them each to the .rst
format is rather pointless, even though there is some value in
preserving them. However, if they are preserved, they need to go
into the admin-guide part of cpufreq documentation where they belong
(at least to a certain extent).
To preserve them with minimum amount of changes and put them into the
right place, and make it possible to process them into HTML (and other
formats) along with the rest of the documentation, move them each
as a "literal text" block into a separate section of a single .rst
"wrapper" file under Documentation/admin-guide/pm/.
While at it, repair the PCC specification URL in one of them.

This script allows sysctl documentation to be checked against the

it against 5.5 shows for example that sysctl/kernel.rst has two

Add append value operator "+=" support to bootconfig syntax.
With this operator, user can add new value to the key as
an entry of array instead of overwriting.
For example,
foo = bar
...
foo += baz
Then the key "foo" has "bar" and "baz" values as an array.

Currently, bootconfig adds a new value on the existing key to the tail of an
array. But this looks a bit confusing because an admin can easily rewrite
the original value in the same config file.
This rejects the following value re-definition.
key = value1
...
key = value2
You should rewrite value1 to value2 in this case.

Reject if a value node is mixed with subkey node on same
parent key node.
A value node can not co-exist with subkey node under some key
node, e.g.
key = value
key.subkey = another-value
This is not be allowed because bootconfig API is not designed
to handle such case.

Add bootconfig magic word to the end of bootconfig on initrd
image for indicating explicitly the bootconfig is there.
Also tools/bootconfig treats wrong size or wrong checksum or
parse error as an error, because if there is a bootconfig magic
word, there must be a bootconfig.
The bootconfig magic word is "#BOOTCONFIG\n", 12 bytes word.
Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is
as follows.
[Initrd][bootconfig][size][csum][#BOOTCONFIG\n]

This updates sysctl/kernel.rst to use ReStructured Text more fully:
* the list of files is now the table of contents (old entries with no
corresponding sections are added as empty sections for now);
* code references and commands are formatted as code, except for
function names which end up linked to the appropriate documentation;
* links are used to point to other documentation and other sections;
* tables are used to make lists of values more readable (as already
done for some sections);
* in heavily-reworked paragraphs, sentences are wrapped individually,
to make future diffs easier to read.
The first mention of the kernel version is dropped. The second
mention, saying that the document is accurate for 2.2, is preserved
for now; I will update that once the document really is accurate for a
current kernel release.
