Thomas Gleixner 6a9e529272 x86/speculation/mds: Add mds_clear_cpu_buffers()
The Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) vulernabilities are mitigated by
clearing the affected CPU buffers. The mechanism for clearing the buffers
uses the unused and obsolete VERW instruction in combination with a
microcode update which triggers a CPU buffer clear when VERW is executed.

Provide a inline function with the assembly magic. The argument of the VERW
instruction must be a memory operand as documented:

  "MD_CLEAR enumerates that the memory-operand variant of VERW (for
   example, VERW m16) has been extended to also overwrite buffers affected
   by MDS. This buffer overwriting functionality is not guaranteed for the
   register operand variant of VERW."

Documentation also recommends to use a writable data segment selector:

  "The buffer overwriting occurs regardless of the result of the VERW
   permission check, as well as when the selector is null or causes a
   descriptor load segment violation. However, for lowest latency we
   recommend using a selector that indicates a valid writable data
   segment."

Add x86 specific documentation about MDS and the internal workings of the
mitigation.

Markus Heiser 9799445af1 docs: tidy up TOCs and refs to license-rules.rst
The documentation and TOCs are organized in a manner of a tree. Adding a TOC to
the root, which refers to a file which is located in a subfolder forms a
grid. Those TOCs are a bit confusing and thats why we get additional error
messages while building partial documentation::

  $ make SPHINXDIRS=process htmldocs
  ...
  checking consistency... Documentation/process/license-rules.rst: \
  WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree

To fix it, the *root-license-TOC* is replaced by a reference and the
'license-roles.txt' is added to the Documentation/process/index.rst TOC.

BTW: there was an old licences remark in Documentation/process/howto.rst which
is also updated, mentioning SPDX and pointing to the license-rules.rst

Tobin C. Harding 9727a0144b doc: add maintainer book
There is currently very little documentation in the kernel on maintainer
level tasks. In particular there are no documents on creating pull
requests to submit to Linus.

Quoting Greg Kroah-Hartman on LKML:

    Anyway, this actually came up at the kernel summit / maintainer
    meeting a few weeks ago, in that "how do I make a
    good pull request to Linus" is something we need to document.

    Here's what I do, and it seems to work well, so maybe we should turn
    it into the start of the documentation for how to do it.

(quote references: kernel summit, Europe 2017)

Create a new kernel documentation book 'how to be a maintainer'
(suggested by Jonathan Corbet). Add chapters on 'configuring git' and
'creating a pull request'.

Most of the content was written by Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman
in discussion on LKML. This is stated at the start of one of the
chapters and the original email thread is referenced in
'pull-requests.rst'.

Johannes Berg 819bf59376 docs-rst: sphinxify 802.11 documentation
This is just a very basic conversion, I've split up the original
multi-book template, and also split up the multi-part mac80211
part in the original book; neither of those were handled by the
automatic pandoc conversion.

Fix errors that showed up, resulting in a much nicer rendering,
at least for the interface combinations documentation.

Jani Nikula cb597fcea5 Documentation/gpu: add new gpu.rst converted from DocBook gpu.tmpl
This is the first step towards converting the DocBook gpu.tmpl to Sphinx
and reStructuredText, the new kernel documentation tool and markup.

Use Jon's "cheesy conversion script" in Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt to
do the rough conversion. Do the manual edits in follow-up patches. Add a
new Documentation/gpu directories for the graphics related
documentation. (Hooray, now we can have directories based on topics
rather than tools under Documentation.)

We also won't remove the DocBook gpu.tmpl yet so it's easier to build
both and compare the results for parity.

Jani Nikula 22cba31bae Documentation/sphinx: add basic working Sphinx configuration and build
Add basic configuration and makefile to build documentation from any
.rst files under Documentation using Sphinx. For starters, there's just
the placeholder index.rst.

At the top level Makefile, hook Sphinx documentation targets alongside
(but independent of) the DocBook toolchain, having both be run on the
various 'make *docs' targets.

All Sphinx processing is placed into Documentation/Makefile.sphinx. Both
that and the Documentation/DocBook/Makefile are now expected to handle
all the documentation targets, explicitly ignoring them if they're not
relevant for that particular toolchain. The changes to the existing
DocBook Makefile are kept minimal.

There is graceful handling of missing Sphinx and rst2pdf (which is
needed for pdf output) by checking for the tool and python module,
respectively, with informative messages to the user.

If the Read the Docs theme (sphinx_rtd_theme) is available, use it, but
otherwise gracefully fall back to the Sphinx default theme, with an
informative message to the user, and slightly less pretty HTML output.

Sphinx can now handle htmldocs, pdfdocs (if rst2pdf is available),
epubdocs and xmldocs targets. The output documents are written into per
output type subdirectories under Documentation/output.

Finally, you can pass options to sphinx-build using the SPHINXBUILD make
variable. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS=-v htmldocs' for more verbose
output from Sphinx.

This is based on the original work by Jonathan Corbet, but he probably
wouldn't recognize this as his own anymore.
