Linus Torvalds 50d228345a As hoped, things calmed down for docs this cycle; fewer changes and almost
no conflicts at all.  This pull includes:
 
  - A reworked and expanded user-mode Linux document
  - Some simplifications and improvements for submitting-patches.rst
  - An emergency fix for (some) problems with Sphinx 3.x
  - Some welcome automarkup improvements to automatically generate
    cross-references to struct definitions and other documents
  - The usual collection of translation updates, typo fixes, etc.

Vincenzo Frascino df9d7a22dd arm64: mte: Add Memory Tagging Extension documentation
Memory Tagging Extension (part of the ARMv8.5 Extensions) provides
a mechanism to detect the sources of memory related errors which
may be vulnerable to exploitation, including bounds violations,
use-after-free, use-after-return, use-out-of-scope and use before
initialization errors.

Add Memory Tagging Extension documentation for the arm64 linux
kernel support.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 86de78d2c5 docs: arm64: convert perf.txt to ReST format
This file is almost in ReST. All it needs is a rename and
adding a :field: for the two fields at the beginning
(author and date).

While here, add a proper SPDX header, and use the standard
markup for document titles, just for consistency.

Vincenzo Frascino 1243cb6a67 arm64: Add tagged-address-abi.rst to index.rst
Documentation/arm64/tagged-address-abi.rst introduces the
relaxation of the syscall ABI that allows userspace to pass
certain tagged pointers to kernel syscalls.

Add the document to index.rst for a correct generation of the
table of content.

Now that several arch documents were converted to ReST,
add their indexes to Documentation/index.rst and remove the
:orphan:  from them.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab b693d0b372 docs: arm64: convert docs to ReST and rename to .rst
The documentation is in a format that is very close to ReST format.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fixing tables markups;
  - adding some lists markups;
  - marking literal blocks;
  - adjust some title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
