Jakub Kicinski e110ba6592 docs: netdev: add note about Changes Requested and revising commit messages
One of the most commonly asked questions is "I answered all questions
and don't need to make any code changes, why was the patch not applied".
Document our time honored tradition of asking people to repost with
improved commit messages, to record the answers to reviewer questions.

Take this opportunity to also recommend a change log format.

Following the C text in the file, add a mention about the Rust
programming language, the currently supported compiler and
the edition used (similar to the "dialect" mention for C).

Similarly, add a mention about the unstable features used (similar
to the "extensions" mentions for C).

Linus Torvalds d4563201f3 Documentation: simplify and clarify DCO contribution example language
Long long ago, in a more innocent time, Greg wrote the clarification for
how the DCO should work and that you couldn't make anonymous
contributions, because the sign-off needed to be something we could
check back with.

It was 2006, and nobody reacted to the wording, the whole Facebook 'real
name' controversy was a decade in the future, and nobody even thought
about it.  And despite the language, we've always accepted nicknames and
that language was never meant to be any kind of exclusionary wording.

In fact, even when it became a discussion in other adjacent projects,
apparently nobody even thought to just clarify the language in the
kernel docs, and instead we had projects like the CNCF that had long
discussions about it, and wrote their own clarifications [1] of it.

Just simplify the wording to the point where it shouldn't be causing
unnecessary angst and pain, or scare away people who go by preferred
naming.

Linus Torvalds a93e884edf Driver core changes for 6.3-rc1
Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1.
 
 There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work falls
 into two different categories:
   - fw_devlink fixes and updates.  This has gone through numerous review
     cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices.
     Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a
     watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems.
   - driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be moved
     into read-only memory (i.e. const)  The recent work with Rust has
     pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are
     passing around and working with structures that really do not have
     to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only making
     things safer overall.  This is the contuation of that work (started
     last release with kobject changes) in moving struct bus_type to be
     constant.  We didn't quite make it for this release, but the
     remaining patches will be finished up for the release after this
     one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort.
 
 Other than that we have in here:
   - debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems
   - error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit
     codepaths.
   - cacheinfo rework and fixes
   - Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 problems.

Thorsten Leemhuis 901578a459 docs: recommend using Link: whenever using Reported-by:
Encourage developers to place Link: tag pointing to the report when they
are using Reported-by: tags. Those links are often extremely useful for
any code archaeologist that wants to know more about the backstory of a
change than the commit message provides. That includes maintainers
higher up in the patch-flow hierarchy, which is why Linus asks
developers to add such links [1, 2, 3]. To quote [1]:

> Again, the commit has a link to the patch *submission*, which is
> almost entirely useless. There's no link to the actual problem the
> patch fixes.
>
> [...]
>
> Put another way: I can see that
>
> Reported-by: Zhangfei Gao <zhangfei.gao@foxmail.com>
>
> in the commit, but I don't have a clue what the actual report was, and
> there really isn't enough information in the commit itself, except for
> a fairly handwavy "Device drivers might, for instance, still need to
> flush operations.."
>
> I don't want to know what device drivers _might_ do. I would want to
> have an actual pointer to what they do and where.

Another reason why these links are wanted: the ongoing regression
tracking efforts can only scale with them, as they allow the regression
tracking bot 'regzbot' to automatically connect tracked reports with
patches that are posted or committed to fix tracked regressions.

It is finally becoming increasingly rare to find a distribution that
still ships with gnupg-1.x, so remove the last vestiges of "gpg" vs
"gpg2" from documentation.

Similarly, starting with GnuPG 2.2 and above, the default --gen-key
operation creates ed25519/cv25519 keypairs, so update all example
command outputs to use that combination instead of rsa2048.

Lastly, add a few wording tweaks and remove links that lead to stale

The length of the questions prevents readers from locating

Convert to a more standard documentation format with sections

The content edits are limited to what's necessary to change
the format, and very minor clarifications.

Masahiro Yamada e441273947 Documentation: raise minimum supported version of binutils to 2.25
Binutils 2.23 was released in 2012. Almost 10 years old.

We already require GCC 5.1, released in 2015.

Bump the binutils version to 2.25, which was released some months
before GCC 5.1.

With this applied, some subsystems can start to clean up code.
Examples:
  arch/arm/Kconfig.assembler
  arch/mips/vdso/Kconfig
  arch/powerpc/Makefile
  arch/x86/Kconfig.assembler

Linus Torvalds 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.

Nick Desaulniers ea522496af Documentation: process: replace outdated LTS table w/ link
The existing table was a bit outdated.

3.16 was EOL in 2020.
4.4 was EOL in 2022.

5.10 is new in 2020.
5.15 is new in 2021.

We'll see if 6.1 becomes LTS in 2022.

Rather than keep this table updated, it does duplicate information from
multiple kernel.org pages. Make one less duplication site that needs to
be updated and simply refer to the kernel.org page on releases.

Some of us gotten used to producing large quantities of peer feedback
at work, every 3 or 6 months. Extending the same courtesy to community
members seems like a logical step. It may be hard for some folks to
get validation of how important their work is internally, especially
at smaller companies which don't employ many kernel experts.

The concept of "peer feedback" may be a hyperscaler / silicon valley
thing so YMMV. Hopefully we can build more context as we go.

Linus Torvalds 6181073dd6 TTY/Serial driver update for 6.1-rc1
Here is the big set of TTY and Serial driver updates for 6.1-rc1.
 
 Lots of cleanups in here, no real new functionality this time around,
 with the diffstat being that we removed more lines than we added!
 
 Included in here are:
 	- termios unification cleanups from Al Viro, it's nice to
 	  finally get this work done
 	- tty serial transmit cleanups in various drivers in preparation
 	  for more cleanup and unification in future releases (that work
 	  was not ready for this release.)
 	- n_gsm fixes and updates
 	- ktermios cleanups and code reductions
 	- dt bindings json conversions and updates for new devices
 	- some serial driver updates for new devices
 	- lots of other tiny cleanups and janitorial stuff.  Full
 	  details in the shortlog.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 issues.

Masahiro Yamada 0715fdb03e docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.82
GNU Make 3.81 fails in CONFIG_RUST=y builds.

  rust/Makefile:105: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.
  make[1]: *** [prepare] Error 2
  make: *** [__sub-make] Error 2

The error message is unclear, but the reason is because the 'private'
keyword is only supported since GNU Make 3.82.

GNU Make 3.81 is still able to build the kernel when CONFIG_RUST is
disabled, but it might be a good timing to raise the minimal GNU Make
version. Perhaps, I am the last person who was testing GNU Make 3.81.

GNU Make 3.81 was released in 2006, GNU Make 3.82 in 2010.

Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "Most of the collected changes here are fixes across the tree for
  various hardening features (details noted below).

  The most notable new feature here is the addition of the memcpy()
  overflow warning (under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE), which is the next step
  on the path to killing the common class of "trivially detectable"
  buffer overflow conditions (i.e. on arrays with sizes known at compile
  time) that have resulted in many exploitable vulnerabilities over the
  years (e.g. BleedingTooth).

  This feature is expected to still have some undiscovered false
  positives. It's been in -next for a full development cycle and all the
  reported false positives have been fixed in their respective trees.
  All the known-bad code patterns we could find with Coccinelle are also
  either fixed in their respective trees or in flight.

  The commit message in commit 54d9469bc5 ("fortify: Add run-time WARN
  for cross-field memcpy()") for the feature has extensive details, but
  I'll repeat here that this is a warning _only_, and is not intended to
  actually block overflows (yet). The many patches fixing array sizes
  and struct members have been landing for several years now, and we're
  finally able to turn this on to find any remaining stragglers.

  Summary:

  Various fixes across several hardening areas:

   - loadpin: Fix verity target enforcement (Matthias Kaehlcke).

David Hildenbrand 1cfd9d7e43 coding-style.rst: document BUG() and WARN() rules ("do not crash the kernel")
Linus notes [1] that the introduction of new code that uses VM_BUG_ON()
is just as bad as BUG_ON(), because it will crash the kernel on
distributions that enable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (like Fedora):

    VM_BUG_ON() has the exact same semantics as BUG_ON. It is literally
    no different, the only difference is "we can make the code smaller
    because these are less important". [2]

This resulted in a more generic discussion about usage of BUG() and
friends. While there might be corner cases that still deserve a BUG_ON(),
most BUG_ON() cases should simply use WARN_ON_ONCE() and implement a
recovery path if reasonable:

    The only possible case where BUG_ON can validly be used is "I have
    some fundamental data corruption and cannot possibly return an
    error". [2]

As a very good approximation is the general rule:

    "absolutely no new BUG_ON() calls _ever_" [2]

... not even if something really shouldn't ever happen and is merely for
documenting that an invariant always has to hold. However, there are sill
exceptions where BUG_ON() may be used:

    If you have a "this is major internal corruption, there's no way we can
    continue", then BUG_ON() is appropriate. [3]

There is only one good BUG_ON():

    Now, that said, there is one very valid sub-form of BUG_ON():
    BUILD_BUG_ON() is absolutely 100% fine. [2]

While WARN will also crash the machine with panic_on_warn set, that's
exactly to be expected:

    So we have two very different cases: the "virtual machine with good
    logging where a dead machine is fine" - use 'panic_on_warn'. And
    the actual real hardware with real drivers, running real loads by
    users. [4]

The basic idea is that warnings will similarly get reported by users
and be found during testing. However, in contrast to a BUG(), there is a
way to actually influence the expected behavior (e.g., panic_on_warn)
and to eventually keep the machine alive to extract some debug info.

Ingo notes that not all WARN_ON_ONCE cases need recovery. If we don't ever
expect this code to trigger in any case, recovery code is not really
helpful.

    I'd prefer to keep all these warnings 'simple' - i.e. no attempted
    recovery & control flow, unless we ever expect these to trigger.
    [5]

There have been different rules floating around that were never properly
documented. Let's try to clarify.

Thorsten Leemhuis 2f993509a9 docs: process/5.Posting.rst: clarify use of Reported-by: tag
Bring the description on when to use the Reported-by: tag found in
Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst more in line with the description in
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst: before this change the two
were contradicting each other, as the latter is way more permissive and
only states '[...] if the bug was reported in private, then ask for
permission first before using the Reported-by tag.'

Miguel Ojeda d07479b211 docs: add Rust documentation
Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code
itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both
the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module
(e.g. drivers) written across the kernel.

However, these documents contain general information that does not
fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide.

It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the
documentation folder.
