Vegard Nossum 87b92d4b86 docs: path-lookup: more markup fixes
"xxx``at``" makes the `` appear verbatim in the HTML output. I've opted
for changing this into ``*at()`` to harmonise this with the use of * seen
later in the same document (and add the parentheses to clarify that this
is a system/function call).

``path_``* also makes `` appear in the HTML output, but we can fix it by
moving the * into the ``. Also add the parantheses here.

Vegard Nossum ad551a21ca docs: path-lookup: fix HTML entity mojibake
Two cases of "<" somehow turned into "&lt;". I noticed it on
<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/path-lookup.html>.

I've verified that the HTML output is correct with this patch.

Alexander A. Klimov c69f22f25f Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: Documentation/filesystems
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
          If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
          return 200 OK and serve the same content:
            Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Al Viro b4c0353693 sanitize handling of nd->last_type, kill LAST_BIND
->last_type values are set in 3 places: path_init() (sets to LAST_ROOT),
link_path_walk (LAST_NORM/DOT/DOTDOT) and pick_link (LAST_BIND).

The are checked in walk_component(), lookup_last() and do_last().
They also get copied to the caller by filename_parentat().  In the last
3 cases the value is what we had at the return from link_path_walk().
In case of walk_component() it's either directly downstream from
assignment in link_path_walk() or, when called by lookup_last(), the
value we have at the return from link_path_walk().

The value at the entry into link_path_walk() can survive to return only
if the pathname contains nothing but slashes.  Note that pick_link()
never returns such - pure jumps are handled directly.  So for the calls
of link_path_walk() for trailing symlinks it does not matter what value
had been there at the entry; the value at the return won't depend upon it.

There are 3 call chains that might have pick_link() storing LAST_BIND:

1) pick_link() from step_into() from walk_component() from
link_path_walk().  In that case we will either be parsing the next
component immediately after return into link_path_walk(), which will
overwrite the ->last_type before anyone has a chance to look at it,
or we'll fail, in which case nobody will be looking at ->last_type at all.

2) pick_link() from step_into() from walk_component() from lookup_last().
The value is never looked at due to the above; it won't affect the value
seen at return from any link_path_walk().

3) pick_link() from step_into() from do_last().  Ditto.

In other words, assignemnt in pick_link() is pointless, and so is
LAST_BIND itself; nothing ever looks at that value.  Kill it off.
And make link_path_walk() _always_ assign ->last_type - in the only
case when the value at the entry might survive to the return that value
is always LAST_ROOT, inherited from path_init().  Move that assignment
from path_init() into the beginning of link_path_walk(), to consolidate
the things.

Historical note: LAST_BIND used to be used for the kludge with trailing
pure jump symlinks (extra iteration through the top-level loop).
No point keeping it anymore...

Aleksa Sarai b55eef872a Documentation: path-lookup: include new LOOKUP flags
Now that we have new LOOKUP flags, we should document them in the
relevant path-walking documentation. And now that we've settled on a
common name for nd_jump_link() style symlinks ("magic links"), use that
term where magic-link semantics are described.

Jonathan Corbet 4064174bec docs: Bring some order to filesystem documentation
Documentation/filesystems is, like much of the rest of the kernel's
documentation, a jumble of unorganized information.  Split the
documentation into categories and try to bring some order to the top-level
index.rst files.  No text changes other than a few section-introductory
blurbs; this is all just moving stuff around.
