Merge tag 'docs-5.9' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a while to come. Changes include: - Some new Chinese translations - Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS URLs - Some block-mq documentation - More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again for a while. Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or something...:) - Lots of typo fixes, warning fixes, and more" * tag 'docs-5.9' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (195 commits) scripts/kernel-doc: optionally treat warnings as errors docs: ia64: correct typo mailmap: add entry for <alobakin@marvell.com> doc/zh_CN: add cpu-load Chinese version Documentation/admin-guide: tainted-kernels: fix spelling mistake MAINTAINERS: adjust kprobes.rst entry to new location devices.txt: document rfkill allocation PCI: correct flag name docs: filesystems: vfs: correct flag name docs: filesystems: vfs: correct sync_mode flag names docs: path-lookup: markup fixes for emphasis docs: path-lookup: more markup fixes docs: path-lookup: fix HTML entity mojibake CREDITS: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones docs: process: Add an example for creating a fixes tag doc/zh_CN: add Chinese translation prefer section doc/zh_CN: add clearing-warn-once Chinese version doc/zh_CN: add admin-guide index doc:it_IT: process: coding-style.rst: Correct __maybe_unused compiler label futex: MAINTAINERS: Re-add selftests directory ...

This is a directory, with the following entries:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``boot_id``: a UUID generated the first time this is retrieved, and
|
||||
unvarying after that;
|
||||
|
||||
* ``entropy_avail``: the pool's entropy count, in bits;
|
||||
|
||||
* ``poolsize``: the entropy pool size, in bits;
|
||||
|
||||
* ``urandom_min_reseed_secs``: obsolete (used to determine the minimum
|
||||
number of seconds between urandom pool reseeding).
|
||||
|
||||
* ``uuid``: a UUID generated every time this is retrieved (this can
|
||||
thus be used to generate UUIDs at will);
|
||||
|
||||
* ``write_wakeup_threshold``: when the entropy count drops below this
|
||||
(as a number of bits), processes waiting to write to ``/dev/random``
|
||||
are woken up.
|
||||
|
||||
If ``drivers/char/random.c`` is built with ``ADD_INTERRUPT_BENCH``
|
||||
defined, these additional entries are present:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``add_interrupt_avg_cycles``: the average number of cycles between
|
||||
interrupts used to feed the pool;
|
||||
|
||||
* ``add_interrupt_avg_deviation``: the standard deviation seen on the
|
||||
number of cycles between interrupts used to feed the pool.
