ignore-gfp-wait and ignore-gfp-highmem defaults are actually true (Y) in
both failslab and fail_page_alloc, not false as the docs suggest. See
page_alloc.c:3762 and failslab.c:13
At the same time use 'Y' instead of '1' in the example scripts just for
consistency. (though 1 would work)

Since commit 91eeafea1e ("x86/entry: Switch page fault exception to
IDTENTRY_RAW"), the function name of the page fault handler is out of date.
And because of commit aa37c51b94 ("x86/mm: Break out user address space
handling"), the description of search_exception_table is not correct
anymore. It may mislead the user who wants to use the documentation to
figure out the page fault handler.
Also, fix typo and add the parentheses after function and macro name.

Rusty's kernel-hacking guides provide important information, however
they are written in a narrative style that some readers may interpret as
off-putting. Since the goal is to make kernel documentation accessible
to as many new developers as possible, it's best to avoid the turns of
phrase that require a specific cultural context to properly understand.

- Check for NULL from allocation in bootconfig
- Hold event mutex for dyn_event call in user events
- Mark user events to broken (to work on the API)

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of x86 fixes and updates:
- Make the prctl() for enabling dynamic XSTATE components correct so
it adds the newly requested feature to the permission bitmap
instead of overwriting it. Add a selftest which validates that.
- Unroll string MMIO for encrypted SEV guests as the hypervisor
cannot emulate it.
- Handle supervisor states correctly in the FPU/XSTATE code so it
takes the feature set of the fpstate buffer into account. The
feature sets can differ between host and guest buffers. Guest
buffers do not contain supervisor states. So far this was not an
issue, but with enabling PASID it needs to be handled in the buffer
offset calculation and in the permission bitmaps.
- Avoid a gazillion of repeated CPUID invocations in by caching the
values early in the FPU/XSTATE code.
- Enable CONFIG_WERROR in x86 defconfig.
- Make the X86 defconfigs more useful by adapting them to Y2022
reality"
