Documentation/admin-guide/cputopology.rst is the wrong place to describe sysfs ABI.

Since commit 72deb455 ("block: remove CONFIG_LBDAF") sector_t and blkcnt_t types are no longer variable in size, making them unsuitable examples for casting to the largest possible type. This patch replaces such examples with cycles_t and blk_status_t types, whose sizes depend on architecture and config options respectively.

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.

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.

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.

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.

While include/linux/bitops.h brings in the BIT() macro, it was moved to include/linux/bits.h in commit 8bd9cb51 ("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 3945ff37 ("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.
