Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "There's been a fair amount of activity in Documentation/ this time
  around:

   - Lots of work aligning Documentation/ABI with reality, done by
     Aishwarya Pant.

   - The trace documentation has been converted to RST by Changbin Du

   - I thrashed up kernel-doc to deal with a parsing issue and to try to
     make the code more readable. It's still a 20+-year-old Perl hack,
     though.

   - Lots of other updates, typo fixes, and more"

commit 6807c84652b0 ("x86: Enable KASLR by default") enables KASLR
by default on x86. While KASLR will confuse gdb which resolve kernel
symbol address from symbol table of vmlinux. We should turn off KASLR for
kernel debugging.
