The document describes NUMA memory policy and as it is a part of the Linux documentation it's obvious that this is Linux memory policy. Besides, "Linux memory policy" may refer to other policies, e.g. memory hotplug policy, and using term NUMA makes the documentation less ambiguous. Signed-off-by:

Andrea Parri dice: This series provides the script 'features-refresh.sh', which operates on the arch support status files, and it applies this script to refresh the status files in place; previous discussions about this series are at [1].

Uses '!RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK' in place of 'Optimized asm/rwsem.h' as Kconfig for 'rwsem-optimized': the new Kconfig expresses this feature equivalently, while also enabling the script 'features-refresh.sh' to operate on the corresponding arch support status file. Also refreshes the status matrix by using the script 'features-refresh.sh'. Suggested-by:

Commit 6077776b split 'HAVE_BPF_JIT' into cBPF and eBPF variant. Adds arch support status files for the new variants, and removes the status file corresponding to 'HAVE_BPT_JIT'. The new status matrices were auto-generated using the script 'features-refresh.sh'. Signed-off-by:

Provides the script: Documentation/features/scripts/features-refresh.sh which operates on the arch-support.txt files and refreshes them in place. This way [1], "[...] we soft- decouple the refreshing of the entries from the introduction of the features, while still making it all easy to keep sync and to extend."

Rearrange some kernel-api chapters and sections to group them together better. - move Bit Operations from Basic C Library Functions to Basic Kernel Library Functions (now adjacent to Bitmap Operations since they are not typical C library functions) - move Sorting from Math Functions to Basic Kernel Library Functions since sort functions are more Basic than Math Functions - move Text Searching from Math Functions to Basic Kernel Library Functions (keep Sorting and Searching close to each other) - combine CRC and Math functions together into the (newly named) CRC and Math Functions chapter Signed-off-by:

Thomas said: There are a few bogus SPDX identifiers in various files and SPDX Identifiers used in tree or about to be used which have no corresponding License Text file in the LICENSES directory or use the new variant of the GPL-2.0[+] license identifiers which are not mentioned in the GPL-2.0 Valid-License-Identifiers: tags. There is no tool which can be used to scan the tree and also nothing which helps people who submit patches to check their stuff before submission. The following series cleans that up: - Add GPL-2.0-only and GPL-2.0-or-later identifiers to the GPL2.0 license and the Linux-syscall-note exception - Add X11, Apache-2.0, CC-BY-SA-4.0, CCDL-1.0, Linux-OpenIB license texts to the LICENSES directory along with the required documentation texts - Add a checker script which can read a single file or even a patch from the command line or does a full git tree scan [Thomas also wins some sort of special prize for including an SPDX-checking patch that complains about itself!]

The SPDX-License-Identifiers are growing in the kernel and so grow expression failures and license IDs are used which have no corresponding license text file in the LICENSES directory. Add a script which gathers information from the LICENSES directory, i.e. the various tags in the licenses and exception files and then scans either input from stdin, which it treats as a single file or if started without arguments it scans the full kernel tree. It checks whether the license expression syntax is correct and also validates whether the license identifiers used in the expressions are available in the LICENSES files. scripts/spdxcheck.py -h usage: spdxcheck.py [-h] [-m MAXLINES] [-v] [path [path ...]] SPDX expression checker positional arguments: path Check path or file.

Note, this runs single threaded. It scans by default the first 15 lines for a SPDX identifier where the current max inside a top comment is at line 10. But that's going to be faster once the identifiers are all in the first two lines as documented. The python wizards will surely know how to do that smarter and faster, but its at least better than no tool at all. Signed-off-by:Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by:
