Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
"Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including:
- The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following
a warning that was added in 6.2
- Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to,
hopefully, make it more useful
- Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly
with __counted_by annotations
- We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent
structure members that disappeared a while back. That had the
delightful consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs
build. A sustained effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has
addressed almost all of those, bringing the documentation back into
sync with the code. The fixes are going through the appropriate
maintainer trees
- Various improvements to the HTML rendered docs, including automatic
links to Git revisions and a nice new pulldown to make translations
easy to access
- Speaking of translations, more of those for Spanish and Chinese
... plus the usual stream of documentation updates and typo fixes"

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Quite a lot of kexec work this time around. Many singleton patches in
many places. The notable patch series are:
- nilfs2 folio conversion from Matthew Wilcox in 'nilfs2: Folio
conversions for file paths'.
- Additional nilfs2 folio conversion from Ryusuke Konishi in 'nilfs2:
Folio conversions for directory paths'.
- IA64 remnant removal in Heiko Carstens's 'Remove unused code after
IA-64 removal'.
- Arnd Bergmann has enabled the -Wmissing-prototypes warning
everywhere in 'Treewide: enable -Wmissing-prototypes'. This had
some followup fixes:
- Nathan Chancellor has cleaned up the hexagon build in the series
'hexagon: Fix up instances of -Wmissing-prototypes'.
- Nathan also addressed some s390 warnings in 's390: A couple of
fixes for -Wmissing-prototypes'.
- Arnd Bergmann addresses the same warnings for MIPS in his series
'mips: address -Wmissing-prototypes warnings'.
- Baoquan He has made kexec_file operate in a top-down-fitting manner
similar to kexec_load in the series 'kexec_file: Load kernel at top
of system RAM if required'
- Baoquan He has also added the self-explanatory 'kexec_file: print
out debugging message if required'.
- Some checkstack maintenance work from Tiezhu Yang in the series
'Modify some code about checkstack'.
- Douglas Anderson has disentangled the watchdog code's logging when
multiple reports are occurring simultaneously. The series is
'watchdog: Better handling of concurrent lockups'.
- Yuntao Wang has contributed some maintenance work on the crash code
in 'crash: Some cleanups and fixes'"

By the way, the latest and official ABI documentation releases are
available at https://github.com/loongson/la-abi-specs, but there are
no Chinese and pdf versions for now, so just do the minimal changes
to update the links so that they can be found, hope there are stable

...
1/8 of kernel addresses reserved for shadow memory. But for LoongArch,
There are a lot of holes between different segments and valid address
space (256T available) is insufficient to map all these segments to kasan
shadow memory with the common formula provided by kasan core, saying
(addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
So LoongArch has a arch-specific mapping formula, different segments are
mapped individually, and only limited space lengths of these specific
segments are mapped to shadow.
At early boot stage the whole shadow region populated with just one
physical page (kasan_early_shadow_page). Later, this page is reused as
readonly zero shadow for some memory that kasan currently don't track.
After mapping the physical memory, pages for shadow memory are allocated
and mapped.
Functions like memset()/memcpy()/memmove() do a lot of memory accesses.
If bad pointer passed to one of these function it is important to be
caught. Compiler's instrumentation cannot do this since these functions
are written in assembly.
KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented variants.
Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong definitions in
mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original functions have aliases
with '__' prefix in names, so we could call non-instrumented variant
if needed.
