Will Deacon 806654a966 Documentation: Use "while" instead of "whilst"
Whilst making an unrelated change to some Documentation, Linus sayeth:

  | Afaik, even in Britain, "whilst" is unusual and considered more
  | formal, and "while" is the common word.
  |
  | [...]
  |
  | Can we just admit that we work with computers, and we don't need to
  | use þe eald Englisc spelling of words that most of the world never
  | uses?

dictionary.com refers to the word as "Chiefly British", which is
probably an undesirable attribute for technical documentation.

Replace all occurrences under Documentation/ with "while".

Marc Zyngier 5a40527f8f jump_label: Provide hotplug context variants
As using the normal static key API under the hotplug lock is
pretty much impossible, let's provide a variant of some of them
that require the hotplug lock to have already been taken.

These function are only meant to be used in CPU hotplug callbacks.

Paolo Bonzini 7a34bcb8b2 jump_label: Do not use unserialized static_key_enabled()
Any use of key->enabled (that is static_key_enabled and static_key_count)
outside jump_label_lock should handle its own serialization.  The only
two that are not doing so are the UDP encapsulation static keys.  Change
them to use static_key_enable, which now correctly tests key->enabled under
the jump label lock.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 603699bbfb static-keys.txt: standardize document format
Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!

Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:
- Mark titles;
- Add a warning mark;
- Mark literals and literal blocks;
- Adjust identation.

Jason Baron 3821fd35b5 jump_label: Reduce the size of struct static_key
The static_key->next field goes mostly unused. The field is used for
associating module uses with a static key. Most uses of struct static_key
define a static key in the core kernel and make use of it entirely within
the core kernel, or define the static key in a module and make use of it
only from within that module. In fact, of the ~3,000 static keys defined,
I found only about 5 or so that did not fit this pattern.

Thus, we can remove the static_key->next field entirely and overload
the static_key->entries field. That is, when all the static_key uses
are contained within the same module, static_key->entries continues
to point to those uses. However, if the static_key uses are not contained
within the module where the static_key is defined, then we allocate a
struct static_key_mod, store a pointer to the uses within that
struct static_key_mod, and have the static key point at the static_key_mod.
This does incur some extra memory usage when a static_key is used in a
module that does not define it, but since there are only a handful of such
cases there is a net savings.

In order to identify if the static_key->entries pointer contains a
struct static_key_mod or a struct jump_entry pointer, bit 1 of
static_key->entries is set to 1 if it points to a struct static_key_mod and
is 0 if it points to a struct jump_entry. We were already using bit 0 in a
similar way to store the initial value of the static_key. This does mean
that allocations of struct static_key_mod and that the struct jump_entry
tables need to be at least 4-byte aligned in memory. As far as I can tell
all arches meet this criteria.

For my .config, the patch increased the text by 778 bytes, but reduced
the data + bss size by 14912, for a net savings of 14,134 bytes.

Catalin Marinas ef0da55a84 jump_labels: Allow array initialisers
The static key API is currently designed around single variable
definitions. There are cases where an array of static keys is desirable,
so extend the API to allow this rather than using the internal static
key implementation directly.
