This script allows sysctl documentation to be checked against the
kernel source code, to identify missing or obsolete entries. Running
it against 5.5 shows for example that sysctl/kernel.rst has two
obsolete entries and is missing 52 entries.

When there was no parallelism (no top-level -j arg and a pre-1.7
sphinx-build), the argument passed would be empty ("") instead of just
being missing, which would (understandably) badly confuse sphinx-build.

There are some issues at the script with regards to :doc:
tags:
- It doesn't escape files under Documentation/sphinx,
leading to false positives;
- It doesn't handle root URLs, like :doc:`/x86/boot`;
- It doesn't output the file with a bad reference.
Address those things, in order to remove false positives
from the list of problems.

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
corresponding sections are added as empty sections for now);
* 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
current kernel release.

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"
