An argument list like "arg=val arg2 \"" can trigger a page fault if the
page pointed by 'args[0xffffffff]' is not mapped and potential memory
corruption otherwise (unlikely but possible if the bogus address is mapped
and contents happen to match the ascii value of the quote character).
The fix is to ensure that we load 'args[i-1]' only when (i > 0).
Prior to this commit the following command would trigger an
unhandled page fault in the kernel:
root@(none):/linus/fs/fat# insmod ./fat.ko "foo=bar \""

In preparation to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang, fix multiple
warnings by explicitly adding multiple break statements instead of
letting the code fall through to the next case, and by replacing a
number of /* fall through */ comments with the new pseudo-keyword
macro fallthrough.
Notice that Clang doesn't recognize /* Fall through */ comments as
implicit fall-through markings.

In the future we would like to use get_option() to only validate the
string and parse it separately. To achieve this, allow NULL to be an
output for get_option().

When string doesn't have an integer and starts from hyphen get_option()
may return interesting results. Fix it to return 0.
The simple_strtoull() is used due to absence of simple_strtoul() in a boot
code on some architectures.
Note, the Fixes tag below is rather for anthropological curiosity.

This will end up affecting distribution configurations such as Debian
and OpenSUSE according to my testing. I am not sure what the solution
is, the PowerPC wrapper does not set -D__KERNEL__ so I am not sure
that compiler_attributes.h can be safely included."
In order to avoid these sort of problems, it seems that the best
solution is to use /* fall through */ comments instead of the
fallthrough pseudo-keyword macro in lib/, for now.

When using get_options() it's possible to specify a range of numbers,
like 1-100500. The problem is that it doesn't track array size while
calling internally to get_range() which iterates over the range and
fills the memory with numbers.

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.

memparse()'s first argument can be const, so it should be.

Extend memparse() to allow the caller to use a NULL second parameter, which
would represent no interest in returning the address of the end of the parsed
string.
In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed
string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to
accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no
interest in it and promptly throw it away.
This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases
where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.

A variety of (mostly) innocuous fixes to the embedded kernel-doc content in
source files, including:
* make multi-line initial descriptions single line
* denote some function names, constants and structs as such
* change erroneous opening '/*' to '/**' in a few places
* reword some text for clarity

This allows a hyphenated range of positive numbers in the string passed
to command line helper function, get_options.
Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a
list of cpus.
Format: <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
Valid values of <cpu_number> include all cpus, 0 to "number of CPUs in
system - 1". This can get extremely long when isolating the majority of
cpus on a large system. The kernel isolcpus code would not need any
changing to use this feature. To use it, the change would be in the
command line format for 'isolcpus='
Format:
<cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
or
<cpu number>-<cpu number> (must be a positive range in ascending
order.)
or a mixture
<cpu number>,...,<cpu number>-<cpu number>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
