docs: locking: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the kernel development book where it belongs. Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly parse the text file, as they're already in good shape, not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Documentation: Add lock ordering and nesting documentation The kernel provides a variety of locking primitives. The nesting of these lock types and the implications of them on RT enabled kernels is nowhere documented. Add initial documentation.

Documentation: locking: Describe seqlock design and usage Proper documentation for the design and usage of sequence counters and sequential locks does not exist. Complete the seqlock.h documentation as follows: - Divide all documentation on a seqcount_t vs. seqlock_t basis. The description for both mechanisms was intermingled, which is incorrect since the usage constrains for each type are vastly different. - Add an introductory paragraph describing the internal design of, and rationale for, sequence counters. - Document seqcount_t writer non-preemptibility requirement, which was not previously documented anywhere, and provide a clear rationale. - Provide template code for seqcount_t and seqlock_t initialization and reader/writer critical sections. - Recommend using seqlock_t by default. It implicitly handles the serialization and non-preemptibility requirements of writers. At seqlock.h: - Remove references to brlocks as they've long been removed from the kernel. - Remove references to gcc-3.x since the kernel's minimum supported gcc version is 4.9. References: 0f6ed63b1707 ("no need to keep brlock macros anymore...") References: 6ec4476ac825 ("Raise gcc version requirement to 4.9") Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
