"A fairly normal cycle for documentation stuff. We have a new document
on perf security, more Italian translations, more improvements to the

As is often the case, there are a few reaches outside of
Documentation/ to adjust kerneldoc comments"

Mike Rapoport says:
These patches convert files in Documentation/vm to ReST format, add an
initial index and link it to the top level documentation.
There are no contents changes in the documentation, except few spelling
fixes. The relatively large diffstat stems from the indentation and
paragraph wrapping changes.
I've tried to keep the formatting as consistent as possible, but I could
miss some places that needed markup and add some markup where it was not
necessary.

Pull Kselftest updates from Shuah Khan:
"This update consists of:
- TAP13 framework and changes to some tests to convert to TAP13.
Converting kselftest output to standard format will help identify
run to run differences and pin point failures easily. TAP13 format
has been in use for several years and the output is human friendly.
Please find the specification:
https://testanything.org/tap-version-13-specification.html
Credit goes to Tim Bird for recommending TAP13 as a suitable
format, and to Grag KH for kick starting the work with help from
Paul Elder and Alice Ferrazzi
The first phase of the TAp13 conversion is included in this update.
Future updates will include updates to rest of the tests.
- Masami Hiramatsu fixed ftrace to run on 4.9 stable kernels.
- Kselftest documnetation has been converted to ReST format. Document
now has a new home under Documentation/dev-tools.
- kselftest_harness.h is now available for general use as a result of
Mickaël Salaün's work.
- Several fixes to skip and/or fail tests gracefully on older
releases"

Kmemleak requires that vmalloc'ed objects have a minimum reference count
of 2: one in the corresponding vm_struct object and the other owned by
the vmalloc() caller. There are cases, however, where the original
vmalloc() returned pointer is lost and, instead, a pointer to vm_struct
is stored (see free_thread_stack()). Kmemleak currently reports such
objects as leaks.
This patch adds support for treating any surplus references to an object
as additional references to a specified object. It introduces the
kmemleak_vmalloc() API function which takes a vm_struct pointer and sets
its surplus reference passing to the actual vmalloc() returned pointer.
The __vmalloc_node_range() calling site has been modified accordingly.
