48ea09cdda hardening updates for v6.2-rc1
- Convert flexible array members, fix -Wstringop-overflow warnings,
   and fix KCFI function type mismatches that went ignored by
   maintainers (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Nathan Chancellor, Kees Cook).
 
 - Remove the remaining side-effect users of ksize() by converting
   dma-buf, btrfs, and coredump to using kmalloc_size_roundup(),
   add more __alloc_size attributes, and introduce full testing
   of all allocator functions. Finally remove the ksize() side-effect
   so that each allocation-aware checker can finally behave without
   exceptions.
 
 - Introduce oops_limit (default 10,000) and warn_limit (default off)
   to provide greater granularity of control for panic_on_oops and
   panic_on_warn (Jann Horn, Kees Cook).
 
 - Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() helpers for
   cleaner overflow checking.
 
 - Improve code generation for strscpy() and update str*() kern-doc.
 
 - Convert strscpy and sigphash tests to KUnit, and expand memcpy
   tests.
 
 - Always use a non-NULL argument for prepare_kernel_cred().
 
 - Disable structleak plugin in FORTIFY KUnit test (Anders Roxell).
 
 - Adjust orphan linker section checking to respect CONFIG_WERROR
   (Xin Li).
 
 - Make sure siginfo is cleared for forced SIGKILL (haifeng.xu).
 
 - Fix um vs FORTIFY warnings for always-NULL arguments.

a7cacfb068 This was a not-too-busy cycle for documentation; highlights include:
- The beginnings of a set of translations into Spanish, headed up by Carlos
   Bilbao.
 
 - More Chinese translations.
 
 - A change to the Sphinx "alabaster" theme by default for HTML generation.
   Unlike the previous default (Read the Docs), alabaster is shipped with
   Sphinx by default, reducing the number of other dependencies that need to
   be installed.  It also (IMO) produces a cleaner and more readable result.
 
 - The ability to render the documentation into the texinfo format
   (something Sphinx could always do, we just never wired it up until now).
 
 Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, build-warning fixes, and minor
 updates.

d28a1de5d1 math64: favor kernel-doc from header files
Fix the kernel-doc markings for div64 functions to point to the header
file instead of the lib/ directory.  This avoids having implementation
specific comments in generic documentation.  Furthermore, given that
some kernel-doc comments are identical, drop them from lib/math64 and
only keep there comments that add implementation details.

4c52729377 kernel.h: split out kstrtox() and simple_strtox() to a separate header
kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out kstrtox() and
simple_strtox() helpers.

At the same time convert users in header and lib folders to use new
header.  Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to
avoid twisted indirected includes for existing users.

4f4afc2c95 docs/core-api: Remove possibly confusing sub-headings from Bit Operations
The recent commit 81d2c6f819 ("kasan: support instrumented bitops
combined with generic bitops"), split the KASAN instrumented bitops
into separate headers for atomic, non-atomic and locking operations.

This was done to allow arches to include just the instrumented bitops
they need, while also using some of the generic bitops in
asm-generic/bitops (which are automatically instrumented). The generic
bitops are already split into atomic, non-atomic and locking headers.

This split required an update to kernel-api.rst because it included
include/asm-generic/bitops-instrumented.h, which no longer exists. So
now kernel-api.rst includes all three instrumented headers to get the
definitions for all the bitops.

When adding the three headers it seemed sensible to add sub-headings
for each, ie. "Atomic", "Non-atomic" and "Locking".

The confusion is that test_bit() is (and always has been) in
non-atomic.h, but is documented elsewhere (atomic_bitops.txt) as being
atomic. So having it appear under the "Non-atomic" heading is possibly
confusing.

Probably test_bit() should move from bitops/non-atomic.h to atomic.h,
but that has flow on effects. For now just remove the newly added
sub-headings in the documentation, so we at least aren't adding to the
confusion about whether test_bit() is atomic or not.

81d2c6f819 kasan: support instrumented bitops combined with generic bitops
Currently bitops-instrumented.h assumes that the architecture provides
atomic, non-atomic and locking bitops (e.g. both set_bit and __set_bit).
This is true on x86 and s390, but is not always true: there is a
generic bitops/non-atomic.h header that provides generic non-atomic
operations, and also a generic bitops/lock.h for locking operations.

powerpc uses the generic non-atomic version, so it does not have it's
own e.g. __set_bit that could be renamed arch___set_bit.

Split up bitops-instrumented.h to mirror the atomic/non-atomic/lock
split. This allows arches to only include the headers where they
have arch-specific versions to rename. Update x86 and s390.

(The generic operations are automatically instrumented because they're
written in C, not asm.)

751ad98d5f asm-generic, x86: add bitops instrumentation for KASAN
This adds a new header to asm-generic to allow optionally instrumenting
architecture-specific asm implementations of bitops.

This change includes the required change for x86 as reference and
changes the kernel API doc to point to bitops-instrumented.h instead.
Rationale: the functions in x86's bitops.h are no longer the kernel API
functions, but instead the arch_ prefixed functions, which are then
instrumented via bitops-instrumented.h.

Other architectures can similarly add support for asm implementations of
bitops.

The documentation text was derived from x86 and existing bitops
asm-generic versions: 1) references to x86 have been removed; 2) as a
result, some of the text had to be reworded for clarity and consistency.

Tested using lib/test_kasan with bitops tests (pre-requisite patch).

58d494669f docs/core-api: Add integer power functions to the list
Some times integer power functions, such as int_sqrt(), are needed, but
there is nothing about them in the generated documentation.

Fill the gap by adding a reference to the corresponding exported functions.

2c64e9cb0b lib: Move mathematic helpers to separate folder
For better maintenance and expansion move the mathematic helpers to the
separate folder.

No functional change intended.

Note, the int_sqrt() is not used as a part of lib, so, moved to regular
obj.

caaf3c83d2 Docs/kernel-api.rst: Remove blk-tag.c reference
After 7ca0192646, legacy rq tagging was removed, so block/blk-tag.c
does not exists anymore. When generating pdfdocs, sphinx complains about
this missing file:

Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c
Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c
Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c
Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c

So remove blk-tag.c traces from kernel-api.rst file to silence these

This is basically copy-paste of the memory management section from
kernel-api.rst with some minor adjustments:

* The "User Space Memory Access" is moved to the beginning
* The get_user_pages_fast reference is now a part of "User Space Memory
  Access"
* And, of course, headings are adjusted with section being promoted to
  chapters

Rearrange some kernel-api chapters and sections to group them
together better.

- move Bit Operations from Basic C Library Functions to Basic
  Kernel Library Functions (now adjacent to Bitmap Operations since
  they are not typical C library functions)

- move Sorting from Math Functions to Basic Kernel Library Functions
  since sort functions are more Basic than Math Functions

- move Text Searching from Math Functions to Basic Kernel Library
  Functions (keep Sorting and Searching close to each other)

- combine CRC and Math functions together into the (newly named)
  CRC and Math Functions chapter

There are some good comments about bitmap operations in lib/bitmap.c
and include/linux/bitmap.h, so format them for document generation and
pull them into core-api/kernel-api.rst.

I converted the "tables" of functions from using tabs to using spaces
so that they are more readable in the source file and in the generated
output.
