There is no good reason to include one header per partition type in
core.c. Instead move the prototypes for the detection routins to
check.h, and remove all now empty headers in block/partitions/.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Rename the block documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.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.Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

I meet strange filesystem corruption issue recently, the reason
is there are overlaps partitions in cmdline partition argument.This patch add verifier for cmdline partition, then if there are
overlaps partitions, cmdline_partition will log a warning. We don't
treat overlaps partition as a error:

Partition overlap was intentionally designed in this cmdline partition.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

Recently commit bab55417b10c ("block: support embedded device command
line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER. However, that name
is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot
arg processing, when it really is block specific.Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_
prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it
is block specific.In addition, fix up the following less critical items:
- help text was not really at all helpful.
- index file for Documentation was not updated
- add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
- clarify wording in source commentsSigned-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

Read block device partition table from command line. The partition used
for fixed block device (eMMC) embedded device. It is no MBR, save
storage space. Bootloader can be easily accessed by absolute address of
data on the block device. Users can easily change the partition.This code reference MTD partition, source "drivers/mtd/cmdlinepart.c"
