2020-04-20docs: Makefile: place final pdf docs on a separate dirMauro Carvalho Chehab
The Sphinx build system for PDF is too complex and generate lots of ancillary files, including one PDF file for each image. So, at the end, the main latex dir has 156 pdf files, instead of the 71 ones that would match each generated book. That's confusing and it makes harder to identify when something didn't work. So, instead, let's move the final PDF output(s) to a separate dir. This way, the latex/ dir will have the temporary and the final *.tex files, while the final pdf files that built ok will be under the pdf/ directory.

2020-04-20docs: i2c: rename i2c.svg to i2c_bus.svgMauro Carvalho Chehab
When generating the PDF output, the Documentation/i2c dir will generate an i2c.pdf. The same happens with i2c.svg: it will also produce a file with the same name, at the same dir.

2020-04-20docs: update recommended Sphinx version to 2.4.4Mauro Carvalho Chehab
There are some docs that have nested tables. While this was always part of the spec, only Sphinx version 2.4.x can translate it to LaTeX. In other words, if someone is using a Sphinx version < 2.4, the LaTeX and PDF output won't work for some of the docs. So, it seems that it is time to raise the bar again for the recommented version. The Sphinx check script is already smart enough to keep working, with older versions, warning the users that an upgrade is recommended (and explaining how): Sphinx version 1.7.9 Warning: It is recommended at least Sphinx version 2.4.4.

2020-04-10mm: hugetlb: optionally allocate gigantic hugepages using cmaRoman Gushchin
Commit 944d9fec8d7a ("hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation at runtime") has added the run-time allocation of gigantic pages. However it actually works only at early stages of the system loading, when the majority of memory is free. After some time the memory gets fragmented by non-movable pages, so the chances to find a contiguous 1GB block are getting close to zero. Even dropping caches manually doesn't help a lot. At large scale rebooting servers in order to allocate gigantic hugepages is quite expensive and complex. At the same time keeping some constant percentage of memory in reserved hugepages even if the workload isn't using it is a big waste: not all workloads can benefit from using 1 GB pages. The following solution can solve the problem: 1) On boot time a dedicated cma area* is reserved. The size is passed as a kernel argument. 2) Run-time allocations of gigantic hugepages are performed using the cma allocator and the dedicated cma area In this case gigantic hugepages can be allocated successfully with a high probability, however the memory isn't completely wasted if nobody is using 1GB hugepages: it can be used for pagecache, anon memory, THPs, etc. * On a multi-node machine a per-node cma area is allocated on each node. Following gigantic hugetlb allocation are using the first available numa node if the mask isn't specified by a user. Usage: 1) configure the kernel to allocate a cma area for hugetlb allocations: pass hugetlb_cma=10G as a kernel argument 2) allocate hugetlb pages as usual, e.g. echo 10 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages If the option isn't enabled or the allocation of the cma area failed, the current behavior of the system is preserved. x86 and arm-64 are covered by this patch, other architectures can be trivially added later. The patch contains clean-ups and fixes proposed and implemented by Aslan Bakirov and Randy Dunlap. It also contains ideas and suggestions proposed by Rik van Riel, Michal Hocko and Mike Kravetz.

2020-04-09kbuild: support LLVM=1 to switch the default tools to Clang/LLVMMasahiro Yamada
As Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst implies, building the kernel with a full set of LLVM tools gets very verbose and unwieldy. Provide a single switch LLVM=1 to use Clang and LLVM tools instead of GCC and Binutils. You can pass it from the command line or as an environment variable. Please note LLVM=1 does not turn on the integrated assembler. You need to pass LLVM_IAS=1 to use it. When the upstream kernel is ready for the integrated assembler, I think we can make it default. We discussed what we need, and we agreed to go with a simple boolean flag that switches both target and host tools: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/28/494 https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/3/43 Some items discussed, but not adopted: - LLVM_DIR When multiple versions of LLVM are installed, I just thought supporting LLVM_DIR=/path/to/my/llvm/bin/ might be useful. CC = $(LLVM_DIR)clang LD = $(LLVM_DIR)ld.lld ... However, we can handle this by modifying PATH. So, we decided to not do this. - LLVM_SUFFIX Some distributions (e.g. Debian) package specific versions of LLVM with naming conventions that use the version as a suffix. CC = clang$(LLVM_SUFFIX) LD = ld.lld(LLVM_SUFFIX) ... will allow a user to pass LLVM_SUFFIX=-11 to use clang-11 etc., but the suffixed versions in /usr/bin/ are symlinks to binaries in /usr/lib/llvm-#/bin/, so this can also be handled by PATH.

The 'AS' variable is unused for building the kernel. Only the remaining usage is to turn on the integrated assembler. A boolean flag is a better fit for this purpose. AS=clang was added for experts. So, I replaced it with LLVM_IAS=1, breaking the backward compatibility.
