mainlining shenanigans
45888b40d2
To get rid of the variable length arrays on stack in the RS decoder it's necessary to allocate the decoder buffers per control structure instance. All usage sites have been checked for potential parallel decoder usage and fixed where necessary. Kees confirmed that the pstore decoding is strictly single threaded so there should be no surprises. Allocate them in the rs control structure sized depending on the number of roots for the chosen codec and adapt the decoder code to make use of them. Document the fact that decode operations based on a particular rs control instance cannot run in parallel and the caller has to ensure that as it's not possible to provide a proper locking construct which fits all use cases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
