c116737e97 workqueue: Add system_dfl_long_wq for long unbound works
Currently there are users of queue_delayed_work() who specify
system_long_wq, the per-cpu workqueue. This workqueue should
be used for long per-cpu works, but queue_delayed_work()
queue the work using:

  queue_delayed_work_on(WORK_CPU_UNBOUND, ...);

This would end up calling __queue_delayed_work() that does:

	if (housekeeping_enabled(HK_TYPE_TIMER)) {
	//	[....]
	} else {
		if (likely(cpu == WORK_CPU_UNBOUND))
			add_timer_global(timer);
		else
			add_timer_on(timer, cpu);
	}

So when cpu == WORK_CPU_UNBOUND the timer is global and is
not using a specific CPU. Later, when __queue_work() is called:

	if (req_cpu == WORK_CPU_UNBOUND) {
		if (wq->flags & WQ_UNBOUND)
			cpu = wq_select_unbound_cpu(raw_smp_processor_id());
		else
			cpu = raw_smp_processor_id();
	}

Because the wq is not unbound, it takes the CPU where the timer
fired and enqueue the work on that CPU.
The consequence of all of this is that the work can run anywhere,
depending on where the timer fired.

Introduce system_dfl_long_wq in order to change, in a future step,
users that are still calling:

  queue_delayed_work(system_long_wq, ...);

with the new system_dfl_long_wq instead, so that the work may
benefit from scheduler task placement.

73f175a463 Merge branch 'mauro' into docs-mw
Mauro says:

The first patches on this series are focused mostly on .TH
(troff header) line, but, as a side effect, it also change
the name of man pages generated from DOC kernel-doc annotations.
At the previous state, those were overriden due to lots of
duplicated names.

The rationale for most of such changes is that modern troff/man
page specs say that .TH has up to 5 arguments,, as defined at [1]:

       .TH topic section [footer-middle] [footer-inside] [header-middle]

[1] https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/groff_man_style.7.html

Right now, Kernel uses 6 arguments, probably due to some legacy
man page definitions.

After double checking, modern man pages use this format:

	.TH "{name}" {section} "{date}" "{modulename}" "{manual}"

Right now, man pages generation are messing up on how it encodes
each position at .TH, depending on the type of object it emits.

After this series, the definition is more consistent and file
output is better named.

It also fixes two issues at sphinx-build-wrapper related to how
it generate files names from the .TH header.

The last 4 patches on this series are new: they fix lots of issues
related to groff format: there, new lines continue the test from
previous pagragraph. This cause issues mainly on:

- tables;
- code blocks;
- lists

With the changes, the output now looks a lot better.

Please notice that the code there is not meant to fully implement
rst -> troff/groff conversion. Instead, it is meant to make the
output reasonable.

A more complete approach would be to use docutils or Sphinx
libraries, but that would likely require to also write a troff
output plugin, as the "man" builder is very limited. Also,
this could be problematic, as kernel-doc classes can be called
from Sphinx. I don't think we need that much complexity, as what
we mainly need is to avoid bad line grouping when generating
man pages.

This series should not affect HTML documentation. It only affect
man page generation and ManFormat output class.

Add a module to help testing the tracefs support for trace remotes. This
module:

  * Use simple_ring_buffer to write into a ring-buffer.
  * Declare a single "selftest" event that can be triggered from
    user-space.
  * Register a "test" trace remote.

This is intended to be used by trace remote selftests.

34e5b958bd tracing: Introduce simple_ring_buffer
Add a simple implementation of the kernel ring-buffer. This intends to
be used later by ring-buffer remotes such as the pKVM hypervisor, hence
the need for a cut down version (write only) without any dependency.

5f3efd1dce tracing: Add helpers to create trace remote events
Declaring remote events can be cumbersome let's add a set of macros to
simplify developers life. The declaration of a remote event is very
similar to kernel's events:

 REMOTE_EVENT(name, id,
     RE_STRUCT(
        re_field(u64 foo)
     ),
     RE_PRINTK("foo=%llu", __entry->foo)
 )

072529158e tracing: Add events to trace remotes
An event is predefined point in the writer code that allows to log
data. Following the same scheme as kernel events, add remote events,
described to user-space within the events/ tracefs directory found in
the corresponding trace remote.

Remote events are expected to be described during the trace remote
registration.

Add also a .enable_event callback for trace_remote to toggle the event
logging, if supported.

96e43537af tracing: Introduce trace remotes
A trace remote relies on ring-buffer remotes to read and control
compatible tracing buffers, written by entity such as firmware or
hypervisor.

Add a Tracefs directory remotes/ that contains all instances of trace
remotes. Each instance follows the same hierarchy as any other to ease
the support by existing user-space tools.

This currently does not provide any event support, which will come
later.

fbd1743ecb ring-buffer: Add non-consuming read for ring-buffer remotes
Hopefully, the remote will only swap pages on the kernel instruction (via
the swap_reader_page() callback). This means we know at what point the
ring-buffer geometry has changed. It is therefore possible to rearrange
the kernel view of that ring-buffer to allow non-consuming read.

as firmware or a hypervisor) that writes events into a ring-buffer using
the tracefs format

Require a description of the ring-buffer pages (struct
trace_buffer_desc) and callbacks (swap_reader_page and reset) to set up
the ring-buffer on the kernel side.

Expect the remote entity to maintain and update the meta-page.
