The RISC-V architecture has a register named the "Supervisor Exception
Program Counter", or "sepc". This abbreviation triggers checkpatch.pl's
misspelling detector, resulting in noise in the checkpatch output. The
risk that this noise could cause more useful warnings to be missed seems
to outweigh the harm of an occasional misspelling of "spec". Thus drop
the "sepc" entry from the misspelling list.

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:
- A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.
- A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.
- Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
will never understand, were of the opinion that
:c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.
- We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.
- Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are
rather impressive:
"On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader
and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations
done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255
After the patchset, they became:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098"
There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes
it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair
locking.
Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the
improvements are:
"With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the
total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system
with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and
after this patchset were:
# of Threads Before Patch After Patch
------------ ------------ -----------
2 2,618 4,193
4 1,202 3,726
8 802 3,622
16 729 3,359
32 319 2,826
64 102 2,744"
The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through
several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There
might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I
believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline
going forward.
- jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary
motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload
CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label
updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics
kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update
overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup
as well.
- atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last
~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the
APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture -
which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures.
Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64
implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and
to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and
return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area.
- A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type
cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups
all around the place.
- A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra.
- Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details"

The conversion here is really trivial: just a bunch of title
markups and very few puntual changes is enough to make it to
be parsed by Sphinx and generate a nice html.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation 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.

To print the pathname that will be used by shell in the current
environment, 'command -v' is a standardized way. [1]
'which' is also often used in scripts, but it is less portable.
When I worked on commit bd55f96fa9 ("kbuild: refactor cc-cross-prefix
implementation"), I was eager to use 'command -v' but it did not work.
(The reason is explained below.)
I kept 'which' as before but got rid of '> /dev/null 2>&1' as I
thought it was no longer needed. Sorry, I was wrong.
It works well on my Ubuntu machine, but Alexey Brodkin reports noisy
warnings on CentOS7 when 'which' fails to find the given command in
the PATH environment.
$ which foo
which: no foo in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin)
Given that behavior of 'which' depends on system (and it may not be
installed by default), I want to try 'command -v' once again.
The specification [1] clearly describes the behavior of 'command -v'
when the given command is not found:
Otherwise, no output shall be written and the exit status shall reflect
that the name was not found.
However, we need a little magic to use 'command -v' from Make.
$(shell ...) passes the argument to a subshell for execution, and
returns the standard output of the command.
Here is a trick. GNU Make may optimize this by executing the command
directly instead of forking a subshell, if no shell special characters
are found in the command and omitting the subshell will not change the
behavior.
In this case, no shell special character is used. So, Make will try
to run it directly. However, 'command' is a shell-builtin command,
then Make would fail to find it in the PATH environment:
$ make ARCH=m68k defconfig
make: command: Command not found
make: command: Command not found
make: command: Command not found
In fact, Make has a table of shell-builtin commands because it must
ask the shell to execute them.
Until recently, 'command' was missing in the table.
This issue was fixed by the following commit:
| commit 1af314465e5dfe3e8baa839a32a72e83c04f26ef
| Author: Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
| Date: Sun Nov 12 18:10:28 2017 -0500
|
| * job.c: Add "command" as a known shell built-in.
|
| This is not a POSIX shell built-in but it's common in UNIX shells.
| Reported by Nick Bowler <nbowler@draconx.ca>.
Because the latest release is GNU Make 4.2.1 in 2016, this commit is
not included in any released versions. (But some distributions may
have back-ported it.)
We need to trick Make to spawn a subshell. There are various ways to
do so:
1) Use a shell special character '~' as dummy
$(shell : ~; command -v $(c)gcc)
2) Use a variable reference that always expands to the empty string
(suggested by David Laight)
$(shell command$${x:+} -v $(c)gcc)
3) Use redirect
$(shell command -v $(c)gcc 2>/dev/null)
I chose 3) to not confuse people. The stderr would not be polluted
anyway, but it will provide extra safety, and is easy to understand.
Tested on Make 3.81, 3.82, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.2.1
