Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes:
 "This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such
  that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than
  implied by flags.

  The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit
  so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is
  being used.  The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing
  VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading
  from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour.

  The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e088546522
  ("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"),
  which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in
  with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE.
  do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked
  for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been
  dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a
  situation where this assumption did not hold.

  See

      https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&amp;m=147585445805166

  for the patch proposal"

Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and
FOLL_WRITE by me.

[ This branch was rebased recently to add a few more acked-by's and
  reviewed-by's ]

This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_user_pages() and replaces
them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers
as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs)
within the mm subsystem.

Kernel source files need not include &lt;linux/kconfig.h&gt; explicitly
because the top Makefile forces to include it with:

  -include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h

This commit removes explicit includes except the following:

  * arch/s390/include/asm/facilities_src.h
  * tools/testing/radix-tree/linux/kernel.h

These two are used for host programs.

<title>kthread: kthread worker API cleanup</title>

<content type='text'>
A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.

The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues.  Each
worker has a dedicated kthread.  It runs a generic function that process
queued works.  It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.

This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:

__init_kthread_worker()		-&gt; __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker()		-&gt; kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker()		-&gt; kthread_flush_worker()

Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.

Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:

  + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
    aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
    stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".

  + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros

  + init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
    functions. It looks much better if all the functions
    use the same scheme.

  + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
    be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
    to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
    functions use the same naming scheme.

  + there are several precedents for such init() function
    names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
    jump_label_init_type(),  regmap_init_mmio_clk(),

  + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.

The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues.  Each
worker has a dedicated kthread.  It runs a generic function that process
queued works.  It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.

This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:

__init_kthread_worker()		-&gt; __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker()		-&gt; kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker()		-&gt; kthread_flush_worker()

Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.

Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:

  + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
    aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
    stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".

  + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros

  + init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
    functions. It looks much better if all the functions
    use the same scheme.

  + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
    be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
    to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
    functions use the same naming scheme.

  + there are several precedents for such init() function
    names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
    jump_label_init_type(),  regmap_init_mmio_clk(),

  + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

Move blackfin gptimers-example to samples and remove it from Documentation
Makefile. Update samples Kconfig and Makefile to build gptimers-example.

blackfin is the last CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC target in Documentation/Makefile.
Hence this patch also includes changes to remove CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC from
Makefile and lib/Kconfig.debug and updates VIDEO_PCI_SKELETON dependency
on BUILD_DOCSRC.

Documentation/Makefile is not deleted to avoid braking make htmldocs and
make distclean.
