This commit 7d2078310c ("dt-bindings: arm: move cpu-capacity to a
shared loation") updates some references about capacity-dmips-mhz
property in this document.
The list of architectures using capacity-dmips-mhz omits RISC-V, so
supplements it here.

There's a bunch of fixes/cleanups throughout the tree as usual, but we
also have a handful of new features.
* Various improvements to the extension detection and alternative
patching infrastructure.
* Zbb-optimized string routines.
* Support for cpu-capacity in the RISC-V DT bindings.
* Zicbom no longer depends on toolchain support.
* Some performance and code size improvements to ftrace.
* Support for ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN.
* Oops now contain the faulting instruction.

RISC-V uses the same generic topology code as arm64 & while there
currently exists no binding for cpu-capacity on RISC-V, the code paths
can be hit if the property is present.

defining a binding for capacity-dmips-mhz on RISC-V. Update some

The unit mentioned in the documentation of scheduler statistics is
outdated which may mislead the readers.
The unit of statistics that is reported by /proc/schedstat is modified
to nanosecond, and the unit of statistics that is reported by
/proc/PID/schedstat is provided as well to make the context consistent.
The rq_cpu_time and the rq_sched_info.run_delay of a run queue, and the
sched_info.run_delay of a task are all updated based on the clock of the
run queue, while the se.sum_exec_runtime of a task is updated based on
the clock_task of the run queue of the task. Both the clock and
clock_task are relied on the return value of the function sched_clock()
which is in the unit of nanosecond.

This document seems to be out of date for many, many years. Even it has
misspelled from the first day.
ARCH_HASH_SCHED_TUNE should be ARCH_HAS_SCHED_TUNE
ARCH_HASH_SCHED_DOMAIN should be ARCH_HAS_SCHED_DOMAIN
Since v2.6.14, kernel completely deleted the relevant code and even
arch_init_sched_domains() was deleted.
Right now, kernel is asking architectures to call set_sched_topology() to
override the default sched domains.
On the other hand, to print the schedule debug information, users need to
set sched_debug cmdline or enable it by sysfs entry. So this patch also
adds the description for sched_debug.

The Energy Model (EM) can store power values in milli-Watts or in abstract
scale. This might cause issues in the subsystems which use the EM for
estimating the device power, such as:
- mixing of different scales in a subsystem which uses multiple
(cooling) devices (e.g. thermal Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA))
- assuming that energy [milli-Joules] can be derived from the EM power
values which might not be possible since the power scale doesn't have
to be in milli-Watts
To avoid misconfiguration add the requisite documentation to the EM and
related subsystems: EAS and IPA.

It has been observed, that highly-threaded, non-cpu-bound applications
running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints can hit a high percentage of
periods throttled while simultaneously not consuming the allocated
amount of quota. This use case is typical of user-interactive non-cpu
bound applications, such as those running in kubernetes or mesos when
run on multiple cpu cores.
This has been root caused to cpu-local run queue being allocated per cpu
bandwidth slices, and then not fully using that slice within the period.
At which point the slice and quota expires. This expiration of unused
slice results in applications not being able to utilize the quota for
which they are allocated.
The non-expiration of per-cpu slices was recently fixed by
'commit 512ac999d2 ("sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift
condition")'. Prior to that it appears that this had been broken since
at least 'commit 51f2176d74 ("sched/fair: Fix unlocked reads of some
cfs_b->quota/period")' which was introduced in v3.16-rc1 in 2014. That
added the following conditional which resulted in slices never being
expired.
if (cfs_rq->runtime_expires != cfs_b->runtime_expires) {
/* extend local deadline, drift is bounded above by 2 ticks */
cfs_rq->runtime_expires += TICK_NSEC;
Because this was broken for nearly 5 years, and has recently been fixed
and is now being noticed by many users running kubernetes
(https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67577) it is my opinion
that the mechanisms around expiring runtime should be removed
altogether.
This allows quota already allocated to per-cpu run-queues to live longer
than the period boundary. This allows threads on runqueues that do not
use much CPU to continue to use their remaining slice over a longer
period of time than cpu.cfs_period_us. However, this helps prevent the
above condition of hitting throttling while also not fully utilizing
your cpu quota.
This theoretically allows a machine to use slightly more than its
allotted quota in some periods. This overflow would be bounded by the
remaining quota left on each per-cpu runqueueu. This is typically no
more than min_cfs_rq_runtime=1ms per cpu. For CPU bound tasks this will
change nothing, as they should theoretically fully utilize all of their
quota in each period. For user-interactive tasks as described above this
provides a much better user/application experience as their cpu
utilization will more closely match the amount they requested when they
hit throttling. This means that cpu limits no longer strictly apply per
period for non-cpu bound applications, but that they are still accurate
over longer timeframes.
This greatly improves performance of high-thread-count, non-cpu bound
applications with low cfs_quota_us allocation on high-core-count
machines. In the case of an artificial testcase (10ms/100ms of quota on
80 CPU machine), this commit resulted in almost 30x performance
improvement, while still maintaining correct cpu quota restrictions.
That testcase is available at https://github.com/indeedeng/fibtest.

Convert the PM documents to ReST, in order to allow them to
build with Sphinx.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and indentation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

unmaintained 00-INDEX files, the deprecated APIs document from Kees, more
MM docs from Mike Rapoport, and the usual pile of typo fixes and
corrections.

To prevent dynamic completion objects from being de-allocated while still
in use, add a recommendation to embed them in long lived data structures.
Also add a note for the on-stack case that emphasizes the dangers of
the limited scope, and recommends dynamic allocation if scope limitations
are not clearly understood.
[ mingo: Minor touch-ups of the text, expanded it a bit to make the
warnings Nicholas added more prominent. ]
