- Fix two more locations where printf formatting leaked pointers
- Better log_buf_len parameter handling
- Add prefix to messages from printk code
- Do not miss messages on other consoles when the log is replayed on a
new one
- Reduce race between console registration and panic() when the log
might get replayed on all consoles

When converting from text to rst, the kobjects section and its sole
subsection about device tree nodes were coalesced into a single section,
yielding an inconsistent result.
Remove all references to kobjects, as
1. Device tree object pointers are not compatible to kobject pointers
(the former may embed the latter, though), and
2. there are no printk formats defined for kobject types.
Update the vsprintf() source code comments to match the above.

On platforms using the Common Clock Framework, "%pC" prints the clock's
name. On legacy platforms, it prints the unhashed clock's address,
potentially leaking sensitive information regarding the kernel layout in
memory.
Avoid this leak by printing the hashed address instead. To distinguish
between clocks, a 32-bit unique identifier is as good as an actual
pointer value.

This contains a set of early-boot memory-management docs from Mike
Rapoport. It's been circulating on linux-mm for a long time; I finally
picked it up even though it changes a lot of .c files under mm/ (comments
only).
Both bootmem and memblock are have pretty good internal documentation
coverage. With addition of some overview we get a nice description of the
early memory management.

As Dave Chinner points out, we don't have a proper documentation for the
ktime_get() family of interfaces, making it rather unclear which of the
over 30 (!) interfaces one should actually use in a driver or elsewhere
in the kernel.
I wrote up an explanation from how I personally see the interfaces,
documenting what each of the functions do and hopefully making it a bit
clearer which should be used where.
This is the first time I tried writing .rst format documentation, so
in addition to any mistakes in the content, I probably also introduce
nonstandard formatting ;-)
I first tried to add an extra section to
Documentation/timers/timekeeping.txt, but this is currently not included
in the generated API, and it seems useful to have the API docs as part
of what gets generated in
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/core-api/index.html#core-utilities
instead, so I started a new file there.
I also considered adding the documentation inline in the
include/linux/timekeeping.h header, but couldn't figure out how to do
that in a way that would result both in helpful inline comments as
well as readable html output, so I settled for the latter, with
a small note pointing to it from the header.

"%pCr" formats the current rate of a clock, and calls clk_get_rate().
The latter obtains a mutex, hence it must not be called from atomic

Remove support for this rarely-used format, as vsprintf() (and e.g.
printk()) must be callable from any context.
Any remaining out-of-tree users will start seeing the clock's name
printed instead of its rate.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Lots of tidying up changes all across the map for Linux's formal
memory/locking-model tooling, by Alan Stern, Akira Yokosawa, Andrea
Parri, Paul E. McKenney and SeongJae Park.
Notable changes beyond an overall update in the tooling itself is the
tidying up of spin_is_locked() semantics, which spills over into the
kernel proper as well.
- qspinlock improvements: the locking algorithm now guarantees forward
progress whereas the previous implementation in mainline could starve
threads indefinitely in cmpxchg() loops. Also other related cleanups
to the qspinlock code (Will Deacon)
- misc smaller improvements, cleanups and fixes all across the locking
subsystem

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add a console_msg_format command line option:
The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
level>[timestamp] text" format.
This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
at hands.
- Reduce the risk of softlockup:
Pass the console owner in a busy loop.
This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.
The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.
There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.
- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():
This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.
- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:
It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.
Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.
- Remove printk_symbol() API:
It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.
- Remove redundant memsets:
Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.

- Move errseq.rst into core-api
- Add errseq to the core-api index
- Promote the header to a more prominent header type, otherwise we get three
entries in the table of contents.
- Reformat the table to look nicer and be a little more proportional in
terms of horizontal width per bit (the SF bit is still disproportionately
large, but there's no way to fix that).
- Include errseq kernel-doc in the errseq.rst
- Neaten some kernel-doc markup
