docs: process/4.Coding.rst: Fix a couple of document refs In Documentation/process/4.Coding.rst there were a couple of paragraphs that spilled over the 80 character line length. This was likely caused when the document was converted to reStructuredText. Re-flow the paragraphs and make the document references proper reStructuredText :ref: links. This also adds the appropriate reStructuredText file heading to kernel-parameters.rst as referenced by the kernel-parameters link in this patch.

docs: Clean up and organize the admin guide a bit The admin guide is a good start, but it's time to turn it into something better than an unordered blob of files. This is a first step in that direction. The TOC has been split up and annotated, the guides have been reordered, and minor tweaks have been applied to a few of them. One consequence of splitting up the TOC is that we don't really want to use :numbered: anymore, since the count resets every time and there doesn't seem to be a way to change that. Eventually we probably want to group the documents into sub-books, at which point we can go back to a single TOC, but it's probably early to do that.

lib/bitmap.c: enhance bitmap syntax Today there are platforms with many CPUs (up to 4K). Trying to boot only part of the CPUs may result in too long string. For example lets take NPS platform that is part of arch/arc. This platform have SMP system with 256 cores each with 16 HW threads (SMT machine) where HW thread appears as CPU to the kernel. In this example there is total of 4K CPUs. When one tries to boot only part of the HW threads from each core the string representing the map may be long... For example if for sake of performance we decided to boot only first half of HW threads of each core the map will look like: 0-7,16-23,32-39,...,4080-4087 This patch introduce new syntax to accommodate with such use case. I added an optional postfix to a range of CPUs which will choose according to given modulo the desired range of reminders i.e.: <cpus range>:sed_size/group_size For example, above map can be described in new syntax like this: 0-4095:8/16 Note that this patch is backward compatible with current syntax.

lib: bitmap: support "N" as an alias for size of bitmap While this is done for all bitmaps, the original use case in mind was for CPU masks and cpulist_parse() as described below. It seems that a common configuration is to use the 1st couple cores for housekeeping tasks. This tends to leave the remaining ones to form a pool of similarly configured cores to take on the real workload of interest to the user. So on machine A - with 32 cores, it could be 0-3 for "system" and then 4-31 being used in boot args like nohz_full=, or rcu_nocbs= as part of setting up the worker pool of CPUs. But then newer machine B is added, and it has 48 cores, and so while the 0-3 part remains unchanged, the pool setup cpu list becomes 4-47. Multiple deployment becomes easier when we can just simply replace 31 and 47 with "N" and let the system substitute in the actual number at boot; a number that it knows better than we do.

bitmap_parse: Support 'all' semantics RCU code supports an 'all' group as a special case when parsing rcu_nocbs parameter. This patch moves the 'all' support to the core bitmap_parse code, so that all bitmap users can enjoy this extension. Moving 'all' parsing to a bitmap_parse level also allows users to pass patterns together with 'all' in regular group:pattern format, for example, "rcu_nocbs=all:1/2" would offload all the even-numbered CPUs regardless of the number of CPUs on the system.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
