+===========================
+Boot time memory management
+===========================
+
+Early system initialization cannot use "normal" memory management
+simply because it is not set up yet. But there is still need to
+allocate memory for various data structures, for instance for the
+physical page allocator. To address this, a specialized allocator
+called the :ref:`Boot Memory Allocator <bootmem>`, or bootmem, was
+introduced. Several years later PowerPC developers added a "Logical
+Memory Blocks" allocator, which was later adopted by other
+architectures and renamed to :ref:`memblock <memblock>`. There is also
+a compatibility layer called `nobootmem` that translates bootmem
+allocation interfaces to memblock calls.
+
+The selection of the early allocator is done using
+``CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM`` and ``CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK`` kernel
+configuration options. These options are enabled or disabled
+statically by the architectures' Kconfig files.
+
+* Architectures that rely only on bootmem select
+  ``CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=n && CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK=n``.
+* The users of memblock with the nobootmem compatibility layer set
+  ``CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y && CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK=y``.
+* And for those that use both memblock and bootmem the configuration
+  includes ``CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=n && CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK=y``.
+
+Whichever allocator is used, it is the responsibility of the
+architecture specific initialization to set it up in
+:c:func:`setup_arch` and tear it down in :c:func:`mem_init` functions.
+
+Once the early memory management is available it offers a variety of
+functions and macros for memory allocations. The allocation request
+may be directed to the first (and probably the only) node or to a
+particular node in a NUMA system. There are API variants that panic
+when an allocation fails and those that don't. And more recent and
+advanced memblock even allows controlling its own behaviour.

 Interfaces for kernel debugging
 ===============================

Documentation/core-api/timekeeping.rst

+ktime accessors
+===============
+
+Device drivers can read the current time using ktime_get() and the many
+related functions declared in linux/timekeeping.h. As a rule of thumb,
+using an accessor with a shorter name is preferred over one with a longer
+name if both are equally fit for a particular use case.
+
+Basic ktime_t based interfaces
+------------------------------
+
+The recommended simplest form returns an opaque ktime_t, with variants
+that return time for different clock references:
+
+
+.. c:function:: ktime_t ktime_get( void )
+
+	CLOCK_MONOTONIC
+
+	Useful for reliable timestamps and measuring short time intervals
+	accurately. Starts at system boot time but stops during suspend.
+
+.. c:function:: ktime_t ktime_get_boottime( void )
+
+	CLOCK_BOOTTIME
+
+	Like ktime_get(), but does not stop when suspended. This can be
+	used e.g. for key expiration times that need to be synchronized
+	with other machines across a suspend operation.
+
+.. c:function:: ktime_t ktime_get_real( void )
+
+	CLOCK_REALTIME
+
+	Returns the time in relative to the UNIX epoch starting in 1970
+	using the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), same as gettimeofday()
+	user space. This is used for all timestamps that need to
+	persist across a reboot, like inode times, but should be avoided
+	for internal uses, since it can jump backwards due to a leap
+	second update, NTP adjustment settimeofday() operation from user
+	space.
+
+.. c:function:: ktime_t ktime_get_clocktai( void )
+
+	 CLOCK_TAI
+
+	Like ktime_get_real(), but uses the International Atomic Time (TAI)
+	reference instead of UTC to avoid jumping on leap second updates.
+	This is rarely useful in the kernel.
+
+.. c:function:: ktime_t ktime_get_raw( void )
+
+	CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
+
+	Like ktime_get(), but runs at the same rate as the hardware
+	clocksource without (NTP) adjustments for clock drift. This is
+	also rarely needed in the kernel.
+
+nanosecond, timespec64, and second output
+-----------------------------------------
+
+For all of the above, there are variants that return the time in a
+different format depending on what is required by the user:
+
+.. c:function:: u64 ktime_get_ns( void )
+		u64 ktime_get_boottime_ns( void )
+		u64 ktime_get_real_ns( void )
+		u64 ktime_get_tai_ns( void )
+		u64 ktime_get_raw_ns( void )
+
+	Same as the plain ktime_get functions, but returning a u64 number
+	of nanoseconds in the respective time reference, which may be
+	more convenient for some callers.
+
+.. c:function:: void ktime_get_ts64( struct timespec64 * )
+		void ktime_get_boottime_ts64( struct timespec64 * )
+		void ktime_get_real_ts64( struct timespec64 * )
+		void ktime_get_clocktai_ts64( struct timespec64 * )
+		void ktime_get_raw_ts64( struct timespec64 * )
+
+	Same above, but returns the time in a 'struct timespec64', split
+	into seconds and nanoseconds. This can avoid an extra division
+	when printing the time, or when passing it into an external
+	interface that expects a 'timespec' or 'timeval' structure.
+
+.. c:function:: time64_t ktime_get_seconds( void )
+		time64_t ktime_get_boottime_seconds( void )
+		time64_t ktime_get_real_seconds( void )
+		time64_t ktime_get_clocktai_seconds( void )
+		time64_t ktime_get_raw_seconds( void )
+
+	Return a coarse-grained version of the time as a scalar
+	time64_t. This avoids accessing the clock hardware and rounds
+	down the seconds to the full seconds of the last timer tick
+	using the respective reference.
+
+Coarse and fast_ns access
+-------------------------
+
+Some additional variants exist for more specialized cases:
+
+.. c:function:: ktime_t ktime_get_coarse_boottime( void )
+		ktime_t ktime_get_coarse_real( void )
+		ktime_t ktime_get_coarse_clocktai( void )
+		ktime_t ktime_get_coarse_raw( void )
+
+.. c:function:: void ktime_get_coarse_ts64( struct timespec64 * )
+		void ktime_get_coarse_boottime_ts64( struct timespec64 * )
+		void ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64( struct timespec64 * )
+		void ktime_get_coarse_clocktai_ts64( struct timespec64 * )
+		void ktime_get_coarse_raw_ts64( struct timespec64 * )
+
+	These are quicker than the non-coarse versions, but less accurate,
+	corresponding to CLOCK_MONONOTNIC_COARSE and CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE
+	in user space, along with the equivalent boottime/tai/raw
+	timebase not available in user space.
+
+	The time returned here corresponds to the last timer tick, which
+	may be as much as 10ms in the past (for CONFIG_HZ=100), same as
+	reading the 'jiffies' variable.  These are only useful when called
+	in a fast path and one still expects better than second accuracy,
+	but can't easily use 'jiffies', e.g. for inode timestamps.
+	Skipping the hardware clock access saves around 100 CPU cycles
+	on most modern machines with a reliable cycle counter, but
+	up to several microseconds on older hardware with an external
+	clocksource.
+
+.. c:function:: u64 ktime_get_mono_fast_ns( void )
+		u64 ktime_get_raw_fast_ns( void )
+		u64 ktime_get_boot_fast_ns( void )
+		u64 ktime_get_real_fast_ns( void )
+
+	These variants are safe to call from any context, including from
+	a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) during a timekeeper update, and
+	while we are entering suspend with the clocksource powered down.
+	This is useful in some tracing or debugging code as well as
+	machine check reporting, but most drivers should never call them,
+	since the time is allowed to jump under certain conditions.
+
+Deprecated time interfaces
+--------------------------
+
+Older kernels used some other interfaces that are now being phased out
+but may appear in third-party drivers being ported here. In particular,
+all interfaces returning a 'struct timeval' or 'struct timespec' have
+been replaced because the tv_sec member overflows in year 2038 on 32-bit
+architectures. These are the recommended replacements:
+
+.. c:function:: void ktime_get_ts( struct timespec * )
+
+	Use ktime_get() or ktime_get_ts64() instead.
+
+.. c:function:: struct timeval do_gettimeofday( void )
+		struct timespec getnstimeofday( void )
+		struct timespec64 getnstimeofday64( void )
+		void ktime_get_real_ts( struct timespec * )
+
+	ktime_get_real_ts64() is a direct replacement, but consider using
+	monotonic time (ktime_get_ts64()) and/or a ktime_t based interface
+	(ktime_get()/ktime_get_real()).
+
+.. c:function:: struct timespec current_kernel_time( void )
+		struct timespec64 current_kernel_time64( void )
+		struct timespec get_monotonic_coarse( void )
+		struct timespec64 get_monotonic_coarse64( void )
+
+	These are replaced by ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64() and
+	ktime_get_coarse_ts64(). However, A lot of code that wants
+	coarse-grained times can use the simple 'jiffies' instead, while
+	some drivers may actually want the higher resolution accessors
+	these days.
+
+.. c:function:: struct timespec getrawmonotonic( void )
+		struct timespec64 getrawmonotonic64( void )
+		struct timespec timekeeping_clocktai( void )
+		struct timespec64 timekeeping_clocktai64( void )
+		struct timespec get_monotonic_boottime( void )
+		struct timespec64 get_monotonic_boottime64( void )
+
+	These are replaced by ktime_get_raw()/ktime_get_raw_ts64(),
+	ktime_get_clocktai()/ktime_get_clocktai_ts64() as well
+	as ktime_get_boottime()/ktime_get_boottime_ts64().
+	However, if the particular choice of clock source is not
+	important for the user, consider converting to
+	ktime_get()/ktime_get_ts64() instead for consistency.

+DESCRIZIONE
+***********
+
+Converte un file d'intestazione o un file sorgente C (C_FILE) in un testo
+ReStructuredText incluso mediante il blocco ..parsed-literal
+con riferimenti alla documentazione che descrive l'API. Opzionalmente,
+il programma accetta anche un altro file (EXCEPTIONS_FILE) che
+descrive quali elementi debbano essere ignorati o il cui riferimento
+deve puntare ad elemento diverso dal predefinito.
+
+Il file generato sarà disponibile in (OUT_FILE).
+
+Il programma è capace di identificare *define*, funzioni, strutture,
+tipi di dato, enumerati e valori di enumerati, e di creare i riferimenti
+per ognuno di loro. Inoltre, esso è capace di distinguere le #define
+utilizzate per specificare i comandi ioctl di Linux.
+
+Il file EXCEPTIONS_FILE contiene due tipi di dichiarazioni:
+\ **ignore**\  o \ **replace**\ .
+
+La sintassi per ignore è:
+
+ignore \ **tipo**\  \ **nome**\
+
+La dichiarazione \ **ignore**\  significa che non verrà generato alcun
+riferimento per il simbolo \ **name**\  di tipo \ **tipo**\ .
+
+
+La sintassi per replace è:
+
+replace \ **tipo**\  \ **nome**\  \ **nuovo_valore**\
+
+La dichiarazione \ **replace**\  significa che verrà generato un
+riferimento per il simbolo \ **name**\ di tipo \ **tipo**\ , ma, invece
+di utilizzare il valore predefinito, verrà utilizzato il valore
+\ **nuovo_valore**\ .
+
+Per entrambe le dichiarazioni, il \ **tipo**\  può essere uno dei seguenti:
+
+
+\ **ioctl**\
+
+ La dichiarazione ignore o replace verrà applicata su definizioni di ioctl
+ come la seguente:
+
+ #define	VIDIOC_DBG_S_REGISTER 	 _IOW('V', 79, struct v4l2_dbg_register)
+
+
+
+\ **define**\
+
+ La dichiarazione ignore o replace verrà applicata su una qualsiasi #define
+ trovata in C_FILE.
+
+
+
+\ **typedef**\
+
+ La dichiarazione ignore o replace verrà applicata ad una dichiarazione typedef
+ in C_FILE.
+
+
+
+\ **struct**\
+
+ La dichiarazione ignore o replace verrà applicata ai nomi di strutture
+ in C_FILE.
+
+
+
+\ **enum**\
+
+ La dichiarazione ignore o replace verrà applicata ai nomi di enumerati
+ in C_FILE.
+
+
+
+\ **symbol**\
+
+ La dichiarazione ignore o replace verrà applicata ai nomi di valori di
+ enumerati in C_FILE.
+
+ Per le dichiarazioni di tipo replace, il campo \ **new_value**\  utilizzerà
+ automaticamente i riferimenti :c:type: per \ **typedef**\ , \ **enum**\  e
+ \ **struct**\. Invece, utilizzerà :ref: per \ **ioctl**\ , \ **define**\  e
+ \ **symbol**\. Il tipo di riferimento può essere definito esplicitamente
+ nella dichiarazione stessa.
+
+
+ESEMPI
+******
+
+
+ignore define _VIDEODEV2_H
+
+
+Ignora una definizione #define _VIDEODEV2_H nel file C_FILE.
+
+ignore symbol PRIVATE
+
+
+In un enumerato come il seguente:
+
+enum foo { BAR1, BAR2, PRIVATE };
+
+Non genererà alcun riferimento per \ **PRIVATE**\ .
+
+replace symbol BAR1 :c:type:\`foo\`
+replace symbol BAR2 :c:type:\`foo\`
+
+
+In un enumerato come il seguente:
+
+enum foo { BAR1, BAR2, PRIVATE };
+
+Genererà un riferimento ai valori BAR1 e BAR2 dal simbolo foo nel dominio C.
