Mike Rapoport authored
Add references to GFP documentation and the memory-allocation.rst and remove GFP_USER, GFP_DMA and GFP_NOIO descriptions. While on it slightly change the formatting so that the list of GFP flags will be rendered as "description" in the generated html.

This patch does not translate entirely the subfolder "process/" but only part of it (to begin with). In order to avoid broken links, I included empty documents for those which are not yet translated. In order to be able to refer to all documents in "process/", I added a sphinx label to those which had not one.

In the Function documentation Section of kernel-doc.rst there is a function_name() function as an example for how to make a comment about a function. But at the end of that example there is a reference to foobar instead of function_name. I think that should rather be function_name, because that was the placeholder the whole example was using.

The previous version made it necessary to first generate an EDID data set without correct CRC and then to fix the CRC in a second step. This patch adds the CRC calculation to the makefile in such a way that a correct EDID data set is generated in a single build step. Successfully tested with all existing and a couple of new data sets.

Christoph Niedermaier authored
The problem was found when EDID data sets for displays other than the provided samples were generated. The patch has no effect on the provided samples that still match the data used in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c. The provided samples use small values for XOFFSET, XPULSE, YOFFSET and YPULSE, where the error doesn't occur. This fix corrects the use of that values in case of high values, because the most significant bits were treated incorrectly. So in edid.S msbs4 should use bit 8 and 9 of XOFFSET and XPULS. For YOFFSET and YPULSE msbs4 should use bit 4 and 5. lsbs2 was introduced for a better overview, without functional change. Removing also the useless value 63 of all files, because it is added in the *.S description files and then it is subtracted in edid.S.
