The guide to the kernel dev process documentation, for example, contains
references to older kernels and their timelines. In addition, one of the
"long term support kernels" listed have since reached EOL, and a new one
has been named. This patch brings information/tables up to date.

Additionally, some very trivial grammatical errors, unclear sentences,
and potentially unsavory diction have been edited.

This updates sysctl/kernel.rst to use ReStructured Text more fully:
* the list of files is now the table of contents (old entries with no

* code references and commands are formatted as code, except for
  function names which end up linked to the appropriate documentation;
* links are used to point to other documentation and other sections;
* tables are used to make lists of values more readable (as already
  done for some sections);
* in heavily-reworked paragraphs, sentences are wrapped individually,
  to make future diffs easier to read.

The first mention of the kernel version is dropped. The second
mention, saying that the document is accurate for 2.2, is preserved
for now; I will update that once the document really is accurate for a

Pull new zonefs file system from Damien Le Moal:
 "Zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned
  block device as a file.

  Unlike a regular file system with native zoned block device support
  (e.g. f2fs or the on-going btrfs effort), zonefs does not hide the
  sequential write constraint of zoned block devices to the user. As a
  result, zonefs is not a POSIX compliant file system. Its goal is to
  simplify the implementation of zoned block devices support in
  applications by replacing raw block device file accesses with a richer
  file based API, avoiding relying on direct block device file ioctls
  which may be more obscure to developers.

  One example of this approach is the implementation of LSM
  (log-structured merge) tree structures (such as used in RocksDB and
  LevelDB) on zoned block devices by allowing SSTables to be stored in a
  zone file similarly to a regular file system rather than as a range of
  sectors of a zoned device. The introduction of the higher level
  construct "one file is one zone" can help reducing the amount of
  changes needed in the application while at the same time allowing the
  use of zoned block devices with various programming languages other
  than C.

  Zonefs IO management implementation uses the new iomap generic code.
  Zonefs has been successfully tested using a functional test suite
  (available with zonefs userland format tool on github) and a prototype
  implementation of LevelDB on top of zonefs"

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of fixes for X86:

   - Ensure that the PIT is set up when the local APIC is disable or
     configured in legacy mode. This is caused by an ordering issue
     introduced in the recent changes which skip PIT initialization when
     the TSC and APIC frequencies are already known.

   - Handle malformed SRAT tables during early ACPI parsing which caused
     an infinite loop anda boot hang.

   - Fix a long standing race in the affinity setting code which affects
     PCI devices with non-maskable MSI interrupts. The problem is caused
     by the non-atomic writes of the MSI address (destination APIC id)
     and data (vector) fields which the device uses to construct the MSI
     message. The non-atomic writes are mandated by PCI.

     If both fields change and the device raises an interrupt after
     writing address and before writing data, then the MSI block
     constructs a inconsistent message which causes interrupts to be
     lost and subsequent malfunction of the device.

     The fix is to redirect the interrupt to the new vector on the
     current CPU first and then switch it over to the new target CPU.
     This allows to observe an eventually raised interrupt in the
     transitional stage (old CPU, new vector) to be observed in the APIC
     IRR and retriggered on the new target CPU and the new vector.

     The potential spurious interrupts caused by this are harmless and
     can in the worst case expose a buggy driver (all handlers have to
     be able to deal with spurious interrupts as they can and do happen
     for various reasons).

   - Add the missing suspend/resume mechanism for the HYPERV hypercall
     page which prevents resume hibernation on HYPERV guests. This
     change got lost before the merge window.

   - Mask the IOAPIC before disabling the local APIC to prevent
     potentially stale IOAPIC remote IRR bits which cause stale
     interrupt lines after resume"
