doc: Add EARLY flag to early-parsed kernel boot parameters

Kernel boot parameters declared with early_param() are parsed before
embedded parameters are extracted from initrd, and early_param()
parameters are not helpful when embedded in initrd. Therefore,
mark early_param() kernel boot parameters with "EARLY" in
kernel-parameters.txt.

The following early_param() calls declare kernel boot parameters that
are undocumented:

early_param("atmel.pm_modes", at91_pm_modes_select);
early_param("mem_fclk_21285", early_fclk);
early_param("ecc", early_ecc);
early_param("cachepolicy", early_cachepolicy);
early_param("nodebugmon", early_debug_disable);
early_param("kfence.sample_interval", parse_kfence_early_init);
early_param("additional_cpus", setup_additional_cpus);

early_param("kasan.vmalloc", early_kasan_flag_vmalloc);

early_param("kasan.fault", early_kasan_fault);
early_param("kasan.stacktrace", early_kasan_flag_stacktrace);
early_param("kasan.stack_ring_size", early_kasan_flag_stack_ring_size);
early_param("accept_memory", accept_memory_parse);
early_param("page_table_check", early_page_table_check_param);
sh_early_platform_init("earlytimer", &sh_cmt_device_driver);
early_param_on_off("gbpages", "nogbpages", direct_gbpages, CONFIG_X86_DIRECT_GBPAGES);

These are not necessarily bugs, given that some kernel boot parameters
are intended for deep debugging rather than general use.

This work does not cover all of the kernel boot parameters declared using
cmdline_find_option() and cmdline_find_option_bool(). If these are in
fact guaranteed to be early (which appears to be the case), they can be
added in a later version of this patch.

# 16c52e50 18-Apr-2023 Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@kernel.org>

LoongArch: Make WriteCombine configurable for ioremap()

LoongArch maintains cache coherency in hardware, but when paired with
LS7A chipsets the WUC attribute (Weak-ordered UnCached, which is similar
to WriteCombine) is out of the scope of cache coherency machanism for
PCIe devices (this is a PCIe protocol violation, which may be fixed in
newer chipsets).

This means WUC can only used for write-only memory regions now, so this
option is disabled by default, making WUC silently fallback to SUC for
ioremap(). You can enable this option if the kernel is ensured to run on
hardware without this bug.

Kernel parameter writecombine=on/off can be used to override the Kconfig
option.

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.

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.

of: property: Add functional dependency link from DT bindings

Add device links after the devices are created (but before they are
probed) by looking at common DT bindings like clocks and
interconnects.

Automatically adding device links for functional dependencies at the
framework level provides the following benefits:

- Optimizes device probe order and avoids the useless work of
attempting probes of devices that will not probe successfully
(because their suppliers aren't present or haven't probed yet).

For example, in a commonly available mobile SoC, registering just
one consumer device's driver at an initcall level earlier than the
supplier device's driver causes 11 failed probe attempts before the
consumer device probes successfully. This was with a kernel with all
the drivers statically compiled in. This problem gets a lot worse if
all the drivers are loaded as modules without direct symbol
dependencies.

- Supplier devices like clock providers, interconnect providers, etc
need to keep the resources they provide active and at a particular
state(s) during boot up even if their current set of consumers don't
request the resource to be active. This is because the rest of the
consumers might not have probed yet and turning off the resource
before all the consumers have probed could lead to a hang or
undesired user experience.

Some frameworks (Eg: regulator) handle this today by turning off
"unused" resources at late_initcall_sync and hoping all the devices
have probed by then. This is not a valid assumption for systems with
loadable modules. Other frameworks (Eg: clock) just don't handle
this due to the lack of a clear signal for when they can turn off
resources. This leads to downstream hacks to handle cases like this
that can easily be solved in the upstream kernel.

By linking devices before they are probed, we give suppliers a clear
count of the number of dependent consumers. Once all of the
consumers are active, the suppliers can turn off the unused
resources without making assumptions about the number of consumers.

By default we just add device-links to track "driver presence" (probe
succeeded) of the supplier device. If any other functionality provided
by device-links are needed, it is left to the consumer/supplier
devices to change the link when they probe.

arch: remove blackfin port

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather
active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill
over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up.

Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant,
and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because
of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of
duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when
doing cross-architecture changes.

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.
