Pull Documentation updates from Jon Corbet:
"A bit busier this time around.
The most interesting thing (IMO) this time around is some beginning
infrastructural work to allow documents to be written using
restructured text. Maybe someday, in a galaxy far far away, we'll be
able to eliminate the DocBook dependency and have a much better
integrated set of kernel docs. Someday.
Beyond that, there's a new document on security hardening from Kees,
the movement of some sample code over to samples/, a number of
improvements to the serial docs from Geert, and the usual collection
of corrections, typo fixes, etc"

- remove of our own implementation of architecture-specific relocation
code and leveraging existing code in the module loader to perform
arch-dependent work, from Jessica Yu.
The relevant patches have been acked by Rusty (for module.c) and
Heiko (for s390).
- live patching support for ppc64le, which is a joint work of Michael
Ellerman and Torsten Duwe. This is coming from topic branch that is
share between livepatching.git and ppc tree.

With the new autoksyms support, we can run into a situation where
the v4l pci skeleton module is the only one using some exported
symbols that get dropped because they are never referenced by
the kernel otherwise, causing a build problem:
ERROR: "vb2_dma_contig_memops" [Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "vb2_dma_contig_init_ctx_attrs" [Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.ko] undefined!

ERROR: "vb2_dma_contig_cleanup_ctx" [Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.ko] undefined!
Specifically, we do look in the samples directory for users of
symbols, but not the Documentation directory.
This solves the build problem by moving the connector sample into
the same directory as the other samples.

parse_simple.c - packet parser exapmle with single length check that
filters out udp packets for port 9
parse_varlen.c - variable length parser that understand multiple vlan headers,
ipip, ipip6 and ip options to filter out udp or tcp packets on port 9.
The packet is parsed layer by layer with multitple length checks.
parse_ldabs.c - classic style of packet parsing using LD_ABS instruction.
Same functionality as parse_simple.
simple = 24.1Mpps per core
varlen = 22.7Mpps
ldabs = 21.4Mpps
Parser with LD_ABS instructions is slower than full direct access parser
which does more packet accesses and checks.
These examples demonstrate the choice bpf program authors can make between
flexibility of the parser vs speed.

It is not intuitive that 'make' must be run from the top level
directory with argument "samples/bpf/" to compile these eBPF samples.
Introduce a kbuild make file trick that allow make to be run from the
"samples/bpf/" directory itself. It basically change to the top level
directory and call "make samples/bpf/" with the "/" slash after the
directory name.
Also add a clean target that only cleans this directory, by taking
advantage of the kbuild external module setting M=$PWD.

Getting started with using examples in samples/bpf/ is not
straightforward. There are several dependencies, and specific
versions of these dependencies.
Just compiling the example tool is also slightly obscure, e.g. one
need to call make like:
make samples/bpf/
Do notice the "/" slash after the directory name.

It is practical to be-able-to redefine the location of the LLVM
command 'llc', because not all distros have a LLVM version with bpf
target support. Thus, it is sometimes required to compile LLVM from
source, and sometimes it is not desired to overwrite the distros
default LLVM version.
This feature was removed with 128d1514be ("samples/bpf: Use llc in
PATH, rather than a hardcoded value").
Add this features back. Note that it is possible to redefine the LLC
on the make command like:
make samples/bpf/ LLC=~/git/llvm/build/bin/llc

A small bug with the new autoksyms support showed that there are
two kernel modules in the Documentation directory that qualify
as samples, while all other samples are in the samples/ directory.
This patch was originally meant as a workaround for that bug, but
it has now been solved in a different way. However, I still think
it makes sense as a cleanup to consolidate all sample code in
one place.

Remove the zero initialization in the sample programs where appropriate.
Note that this is an optimization which is now possible, old programs
still doing the zero initialization are just fine as well. Also, make
sure we don't have padding issues when we don't memset() the entire
struct anymore.

For kprobe + full bpf program manully fetches oldcomm, newcomm via bpf_probe_read.
For tracepint bpf program does nothing, since arguments are copied by tracepoint.
