9p: add support for root file systems
This introduces a new kernel command-line option called 'v9fsroot=' which will tell the kernel to mount the root file system by utilizing the 9p protocol. This allows us to mount host folder as rootfs for guest linux in qemu. Bellow is an example which mounts v9fs with tag 'r' as rootfs in qemu guest via virtio transport. $ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 1024 \ -virtfs local,path=$rootfs_dir,mount_tag=r,security_model=passthrough,id=r \ -kernel /path/to/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -nographic \ -append "root=/dev/v9fs v9fsroot=r,trans=virtio rw console=ttyS0 3" Signed-off-by: Changbin Du <changbin.du@gmail.com>

docs: pdfdocs: Prevent column squeezing by tabulary
Setting a reasonable width to \tymin prevents column squeezing by tabulary. Width of 20em works well in almost all the tables still in the ascii-art format. Excerpt from tabulary package documentation at [1]: To stop very narrow columns being too 'squeezed' by this process any columns that are narrower than \tymin are set to their natural width. [1]: https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tabulary/tabulary.pdf Note: Sphinx has its own default value of \tymin set in sphinxlatextables.sty (Sphinx 4.0.2) and sphinxmulticell.sty (Sphinx 2.4.4) as follows: \setlength{\tymin}{3\fontcharwd\font`0 } , which is not sufficient for kernel-doc.

scripts: sphinx-pre-install: rework the sphinx install logic
The sphinx-pre-install supports installing sphinx via a virtual environment using pip/pypi or directly from the distribution's package, when --no-virtualenv is used. However, even when --no-virtualenv, the current logic is still recomending to install a virtual env, due to a regression. It turns that the logic there is complex, as it depends on several different conditions. Split the code which recommends Sphinx on two separate functions, in order to clean up the code.

iio: ABI: sysfs-bus-iio: avoid a warning when doc is built
The description of those vars produce this warning: Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio:799: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string. Due to an asterisk, which is the markup for emphasis. One possible fix would be to use ``*_timeout`` to avoid it, but looking at the descriptions of other fields in this file, a common pattern is to refer to "these" when talking about the API calls that are described. So, change the text in order to preserve the meaning while avoiding the need of using an asterisk there.

docs: Activate exCJK only in CJK chapters
Activating xeCJK in English and Italian-translation documents results in sub-optimal typesetting with wide-looking apostrophes and quotation marks. The xeCJK package provides macros for enabling and disabling its effect in the middle of a document, namely \makexeCJKactive and \makexeCJKinactive. So the goal of this change is to activate xeCJK in the relevant chapters in translations. To do this: o Define custom macros in the preamble depending on the availability of the "Noto Sans CJK" font so that those macros can be used regardless of the use of xeCJK package. o Patch \sphinxtableofcontents so that xeCJK is inactivated after table of contents. o Embed those custom macros in each language's index.rst file as a ".. raw:: latex" construct. Note: A CJK chapter needs \kerneldocCJKon in front of its chapter heading, while a non-CJK chapter should have \kerneldocCJKoff below its chapter heading. This is to make sure the CJK font is available to CJK chapter's heading and ending page's footer. Tested against Sphinx versions 2.4.4 and 4.0.2.

Documentation: checkpatch: Tweak BIT() macro include
While include/linux/bitops.h brings in the BIT() macro, it was moved to include/linux/bits.h in commit 8bd9cb5 ("locking/atomics, asm-generic: Move some macros from <linux/bitops.h> to a new <linux/bits.h> file"). Since that commit BIT() has moved again into include/vdso/bits.h via commit 3945ff3 ("linux/bits.h: Extract common header for vDSO"). I think the move to the vDSO header can be considered an implementation detail, so for now update the checkpatch documentation to recommend use of include/linux/bits.h.

docs: ABI: sysfs-class-backlight: unify ambient light zone nodes
./scripts/get_abi.pl is warning about duplicated symbol definition: Warning: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/l1_daylight_max is defined 2 times: ./Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-backlight-driver-adp8870:4 ./Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-backlight-adp8860:12 What happens is that 3 drivers use the same pattern to report max and dim setting for different ambient light zones. It should be noticed that the adp8870 doc was missing an entry for l1_daylight_dim, which was fixed on this patch. While the ambient light zone is device-specific, the sysfs definition is actually common.
