      Documentation: Use "while" instead of "whilst" · 806654a9
      由 Will Deacon 提交于 
      Whilst making an unrelated change to some Documentation, Linus sayeth:

  | Afaik, even in Britain, "whilst" is unusual and considered more
  | formal, and "while" is the common word.
  |
  | [...]
  |
  | Can we just admit that we work with computers, and we don't need to
  | use þe eald Englisc spelling of words that most of the world never
  | uses?

dictionary.com refers to the word as "Chiefly British", which is
probably an undesirable attribute for technical documentation.

Replace all occurrences under Documentation/ with "while".

      jump_label: Reduce the size of struct static_key · 3821fd35
      由 Jason Baron 提交于 
      The static_key->next field goes mostly unused. The field is used for
associating module uses with a static key. Most uses of struct static_key
define a static key in the core kernel and make use of it entirely within
the core kernel, or define the static key in a module and make use of it
only from within that module. In fact, of the ~3,000 static keys defined,
I found only about 5 or so that did not fit this pattern.

Thus, we can remove the static_key->next field entirely and overload
the static_key->entries field. That is, when all the static_key uses
are contained within the same module, static_key->entries continues
to point to those uses. However, if the static_key uses are not contained
within the module where the static_key is defined, then we allocate a
struct static_key_mod, store a pointer to the uses within that
struct static_key_mod, and have the static key point at the static_key_mod.
This does incur some extra memory usage when a static_key is used in a
module that does not define it, but since there are only a handful of such
cases there is a net savings.

In order to identify if the static_key->entries pointer contains a
struct static_key_mod or a struct jump_entry pointer, bit 1 of
static_key->entries is set to 1 if it points to a struct static_key_mod and
is 0 if it points to a struct jump_entry. We were already using bit 0 in a
similar way to store the initial value of the static_key. This does mean
that allocations of struct static_key_mod and that the struct jump_entry
tables need to be at least 4-byte aligned in memory. As far as I can tell
all arches meet this criteria.

For my .config, the patch increased the text by 778 bytes, but reduced
the data + bss size by 14912, for a net savings of 14,134 bytes.
