Documentation/process: Add Researcher Guidelines
As a follow-up to the UMN incident[1], the TAB took the responsibility
to document Researcher Guidelines so there would be a common place to
point for describing our expectations as a developer community.
Document best practices researchers should follow to participate
successfully with the Linux developer community.
docs: reporting-issues.rst: link new document about regressions
Make Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst point to the newly
created document about regressions
(Documentation/admin-guide/regressions-regressions.rst). This allows to
shorten a few explanations the new document describes better and in more
detail.
While at it move the copyright hint to the end of the file and remove
quotes around links to other places in the documentation. Both issues
came up during the review of the new documents about regressions.
docs: *-regressions.rst: explain how quickly issues should be handled
Add a section with a few rules of thumb about how
quickly developers should address regressions to
Documentation/process/handling-regressions.rst; additionally,
add a short paragraph about this to the companion document
Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-regressions.rst as well.
The rules of thumb were written after studying the quotes from Linus
found in handling-regressions.rst and especially influenced by
statements like "Users are literally the _only_ thing that matters" and
"without users, your program is not a program, it's a pointless piece of
code that you might as well throw away". The author interpreted those in
perspective to how the various Linux kernel series are maintained
currently and what those practices might mean for users running into a
regression on a small or big kernel update.
That for example lead to the paragraph starting with "Aim to get fixes
for regressions mainlined within one week after identifying the culprit,
if the regression was introduced in a stable/longterm release or the
devel cycle for the latest mainline release". Some might see this as
pretty high bar, but on the other hand something like that is needed to
not leave users out in the cold for too long -- which can quickly happen
when updating to the latest stable series, as the previous one is
normally stamped "End of Life" about three or four weeks after a new
mainline release. This makes a lot of users switch during this
timeframe. Any of them thus risk running into regressions not promptly
fixed; even worse, once the previous stable series is EOLed for real,
users that face a regression might be left with only three options:
(1) continue running an outdated and thus potentially insecure kernel
version from an abandoned stable series
(2) run the kernel with the regression
(3) downgrade to an earlier longterm series still supported
This is better avoided, as (1) puts users and their data in danger, (2)
will only be possible if it's a minor regression that doesn't interfere
with booting or serious usage, and (3) might be regression itself or
impossible on the particular machine, as the users might require drivers
or features only introduced after the latest longterm series branched
of.
In the end this lead to the aforementioned "Aim to fix regression within
one week" part. It's also the reason for the "Try to resolve any
regressions introduced in the current development cycle before its
end.".
Create two documents explaining various aspects around regression
handling and tracking; one is aimed at users, the other targets
developers.
The texts among others describes the first rule of Linux kernel
development and what it means in practice. They also explain what a
regression actually is and how to report one properly.
Both texts additionally provide a brief introduction to the bot the
kernel's regression tracker uses to facilitate the work, but mention the
use is optional.
To sum things up, provide a few quotes from Linus in the document for
developers to show how serious we take regressions.

xeCJK is enabled in Table of Contents (TOC) so that translations.pdf

This is because (1) Sphinx converts ASCII symbols into multi-byte

families, those UTF-8 symbols have full-width glyph.
The KR variant of the font families has half-width glyph for those

docs: pdfdocs: Tweak width params of TOC
Sphinx has its own set of width parameters of Table of Contents (TOC)
for LaTeX defined in its class definition of sphinxmanual.cls.
It also inherits parameters for chapter entries from report.cls of
original LaTeX base.
However, they are optimized assuming small documents with tens of
pages and chapters/sections of less than 10.
To cope with some of kernel-doc documents with more than 1000
pages and several tens of chapters/sections, definitions of those
parameters need to be adjusted.
Unfortunately, those parameters are hard coded in the class
definitions and need low-level LaTeX coding tricks to redefine.
As Sphinx 1.7.9 does not have \sphinxtableofcontentshook,
which defines those parameters in later Sphinx versions,
for compatibility with both pre-1.8 and later Sphinx versions,
empty the hook altogether and redefine \@pnumwidth, \l@chapter,
\l@section, and \@subsection commands originally defined in
report.cls.
Summary of parameter changes:
Width of page number (\@pnumwidth): 1.55em -> 2.7em
Width of chapter number: 1.5em -> 1.8em
Indent of section number: 1.5em -> 1.8em
Width of section number: 2.6em -> 3.2em
Indent of subsection number: 4.1em -> 5em
Width of subsection number: 3.5em -> 4.3em

1. Parameters for subsection become relevant only when
":maxdepth: 3" is specified under "toctree::" (e.g., RCU/index.rst).

Merge branch 'pdf-conversion' into docs-next
PDF-generation improvements from Akira Yokasawa; Akira says:
This patch set improves conversions of DOT -> PDF and SVG -> PDF
for PDF docs.
* DOT -> PDF conversion
Current scheme uses "dot -Tpdf" (of graphviz).
Cons:
- openSUSE's dot(1) does not support -Tpdf.
- Other distro's dot(1) generates PDFs with unnecessarily wide
margins for inclusion into LaTeX docs.
Patch 1/4 changes the route to the following two steps:
1. DOT -> SVG by "dot -Tsvg"
2. SVG -> PDF by "rsvg-convert -f pdf" with fallback to convert(1)
Pros:
- Improved portability across distros
- Less space around graphs in final PDF documents
Con:
- On systems without rsvg-convert, generated PDF will be of raster
image.
Patch 2/4 avoids raster-image PDF by using "dot -Tpdf" on systems where
the option is available.
* SVG -> PDF conversion
Current scheme uses convert(1) (of ImageMagick)
Cons:
- Generated PDFs are of raster image. Some of them look blurry.
- Raster images tend to be large in size.
- convert(1) delegates SVG decoding to rsvg-convert(1).
It doesn't cover full range of Inkscape-specific SVG features
and fails to convert some of SVG figures properly.
Improper conversions are observed with SVGs listed below (incomplete,
conversion quality depends on the version of rsvg-convert):
- Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/selection.svg
- Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/vbi_525.svg
- Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/vbi_625.svg
- Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/vbi_hsync.svg
- Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/drbd/DRBD-8.3-data-packets.svg
- Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/drbd/DRBD-data-packages.svg
If you have Inkscape installed as well, convert(1) delegates SVG
decoding to inkscape(1) rather than to rsvg-convert(1) and SVGs listed
above can be rendered properly.
So if Inkscape is required for converting those SVGs properly, why not
use it directly in the first place?
Patches 3/4 and 4/4 add code to utilize inkscape(1) for SVG -> PDF
conversion when it is available. They don't modify any existing
requirements for kernel-doc.
Patch 3/4 adds the alternative route of SVG -> PDF conversion by
inkscape(1).
Patch 4/4 delegates warning messages from inkscape(1) to kernellog.verbose
as they are likely harmless in command-line uses.
Pros:
- Generated PDFs are of vector graphics.
- Vector graphics tends to be smaller in size and looks nicer when
zoomed in.
- SVGs drawn by Inkscape are fully supported.
On systems without Inkscape, no regression is expected by these two
patches.

On openSUSE, dot(1) command does not support direct PDF output.
On other distros, generated PDF images have unnecessarily wide margins,
especially for small graphs.
By using dot(1) for DOT -> SVG, then rsvg-convert(1) for SVG -> PDF,
more optimal PDF images can be obtained, with the bonus of improved
portability across various distros.
Add rules in kfigure.py so that the above mentioned route is taken
when rsvg-convert(1) is available.
Note that rsvg-convert(1) is recommended by sphinx_pre_install.
So it is most likely that existing systems for building pdfdocs have
rsvg-convert(1) installed.
Note:
SVG features supported by rsvg-convert(1) vary depending on its
version and distro config.
For example, the one found on Ubuntu Bionic (version 2.40.20) does
poor job in rendering some of SVG files drawn by Inkscape.
SVG files generated by dot(1) are converted nicely even with such
old versions of rsvg-convert.
So this change does not affect the quality of such figures in any
way.

To speed up the boot process, as mcount_loc needs to be sorted for ftrace
to work properly, sorting it at build time is more efficient than boot up
and can save milliseconds of time. Unfortunately, this change broke s390
as it will modify the mcount_loc location after the sorting takes place
and will put back the unsorted locations. Since the sorting is skipped at
boot up if it is believed that it was sorted at run time, ftrace can crash
as its algorithms are dependent on the list being sorted.
Add a new config BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT that is set when
BUILDTIME_TABLE_SORT but not if S390 is set. Use this config to determine
if sorting should take place at boot up.

perf test: Add pmu-events test for aliases with hyphens
Add a test for aliases with hyphens in the name to ensure that the
pmu-events tables are as expects. There should be no reason why these sort
of aliases would be treated differently, but no harm in checking.

Event aliasing for events whose name in the form foo-bar-baz is not

perf evsel: Override attr->sample_period for non-libpfm4 events
A previous patch preventing "attr->sample_period" values from being
overridden in pfm events changed a related behaviour in arm-spe.
Before said patch:
perf record -c 10000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1
Would yield an SPE event with period=10000. After the patch, the period
in "-c 10000" was being ignored because the arm-spe code initializes
sample_period to a non-zero value.
This patch restores the previous behaviour for non-libpfm4 events.

perf cpumap: Migrate to libperf cpumap api
Switch from directly accessing the perf_cpu_map to using the appropriate
libperf API when possible. Using the API simplifies the job of
refactoring use of perf_cpu_map.
Perf script was failed to print the phys_addr for SPE profiling.
One 'dummy' event is added by SPE profiling but it doesn't have PHYS_ADDR
attribute set, perf script then exits with error.
Now referring to 'addr', use evsel__do_check_stype() to check the type.
Before:
# perf record -e arm_spe_0/branch_filter=0,ts_enable=1,pa_enable=1,load_filter=1,jitter=0,\
store_filter=0,min_latency=0,event_filter=2/ -p 4064384 -- sleep 3
# perf script -F pid,tid,addr,phys_addr
Samples for 'dummy:u' event do not have PHYS_ADDR attribute set. Cannot print 'phys_addr' field.
