Ross Zwisler 2abfcd293b docs: ftrace: always use canonical ftrace path
The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.

But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:

  Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
  file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
  For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
  the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:

  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing

Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so
let's update them to avoid confusion.

Paul E. McKenney db4cb76861 doc: Remove obsolete kernel-per-CPU-kthreads RCU_FAST_NO_HZ advice
This document advises building with both CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and
CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y.  However, CONFIG_NO_HZ=y offloads callbacks from
all nohz_full CPUs, and CPUs with offloaded callbacks do not benefit from
CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y.  Quite the opposite: CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y
simply adds a bit of idle entry/exit overhead.

This commit therefore changes that advice to only CONFIG_NO_HZ=y.

Joe Perches 05a5f51ca5 Documentation: Replace lkml.org links with lore
Replace the lkml.org links with lore to better use a single source
that's more likely to stay available long-term.

Done by bash script:

cvt_lkml_to_lore ()
{
    tmpfile=$(mktemp ./.cvt_links.XXXXXXX)

    header=$(echo $1 | sed 's@/lkml/@/lkml/headers/@')

    wget -qO - $header > $tmpfile
    if [[ $? == 0 ]] ; then
	link=$(grep -i '^Message-Id:' $tmpfile | head -1 | \
		   sed -r -e 's/^\s*Message-Id:\s*<\s*//' -e  's/\s*>\s*$//' -e 's@^@https://lore.kernel.org/r/@')
	#    echo "testlink: $link"
	if [ -n "$link" ] ; then
	    wget -qO - $link > /dev/null
	    if [[ $? == 0 ]] ; then
		echo $link
	    fi
	fi
    fi

    rm -f $tmpfile
}

git grep -P -o "\bhttps?://(?:www.)?lkml.org/lkml[\/\w]+" $@ |
    while read line ; do
	echo $line
	file=$(echo $line | cut -f1 -d':')
	link=$(echo $line | cut -f2- -d':')
	newlink=$(cvt_lkml_to_lore $link)
	if [[ -n "$newlink" ]] ; then
	    sed -i -e "s#\b$link\b#$newlink#" $file
	fi
    done

Mauro Carvalho Chehab e00b0ab86c docs: add IRQ documentation at the core-api book
There are 4 IRQ documentation files under Documentation/*.txt.

Move them into a new directory (core-api/irq) and add a new
index file for it.

While here, use a title markup for the Debugging section of the
irq-domain.rst file.
