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.

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.

THP allocation mode is quite complex and it depends on the defrag mode. This complexity is hidden in alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask from a large part currently. The NUMA special casing (namely __GFP_THISNODE) is however independent and placed in alloc_pages_vma currently. This both adds an unnecessary branch to all vma based page allocation requests and it makes the code more complex unnecessarily as well. Not to mention that e.g. shmem THP used to do the node reclaiming unconditionally regardless of the defrag mode until recently. This was not only unexpected behavior but it was also hardly a good default behavior and I strongly suspect it was just a side effect of the code sharing more than a deliberate decision which suggests that such a layering is wrong. Get rid of the thp special casing from alloc_pages_vma and move the logic to alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask. __GFP_THISNODE is applied to the resulting gfp mask only when the direct reclaim is not requested and when there is no explicit numa binding to preserve the current logic. Please note that there's also a slight difference wrt MPOL_BIND now. The previous code would avoid using __GFP_THISNODE if the local node was outside of policy_nodemask(). After this patch __GFP_THISNODE is avoided for all MPOL_BIND policies. So there's a difference that if local node is actually allowed by the bind policy's nodemask, previously __GFP_THISNODE would be added, but now it won't be. From the behavior POV this is still correct because the policy nodemask is used.
