The current Makefile is missing one more pdflatex pass.
The correct steps are : pdflatex -> bibtex -> pdflatex -> pdflatex [1]. Otherwise, bib items will not be showing properly.

Presently, the representation of showing which version will use the
method to find out the system call table is vague.

Change the "alloc_ret" and "cdev_ret" initial values to non-zero.
According to the source code, "alloc_chrdev_region" and "cdev_add"
return zero on success, and negative code on failure.
So, if the "alloc_chrdev_region" failed, the if condition becomes true,
then we will jump to the label "error" by goto, checking each return
value whether is a success state from both functions mentioned above
and dealing with it properly for exiting the process.
However, it checks the success state by comparing the return value
with zero (means success), and we got "cdev_ret == 0" is true from
the initial value zero, while we didn't execute "cdev_add" yet.
Hence, there was a logic error when the initial value is zero.

Previously ioctl.c is a userspace program for chardev2.c and chardev.h [1].
But now, this file is an independent kernel module, and the original code
disappear.
This patch adds back the original userspace code and renames it to
userspace_ioctl.c.

Instead of using the old register_chrdev / unregister_chrdev API,
cdev interface which is newer and would be better for new driver programmers
in most cases. This commit is trying to give the brief overview for
this different interface.
This script do mainly 2 things:
1.
Generate file `Contributors` with git log in following format:
Contributor's name,<1-st e-mail>[,<2nd e-mail>][,<3rd e-mail>]...
The 2-nd email and so on are based on file `.mailmap` in the root
directory of the repo.
Note that it will also append contributors in File `Include`; and
will NOT append contributors in File `Exclude`.
If there are new contributors, script will sort `Contributor` after
append new contributors into each file; Otherwise it do nothing.
2.
Generate contrib.tex based on `Contributors` into lib/contrib.tex in
following format:
[name], (reasonable width) % [1-st e-mail]
Which is inspired by The Not So Short Introduction to Latex 2e[1]
We need to maintain `.mailmap`, `Exclude` and `Include` manually.
All Chinese name should be converted into English/Pinyin in `.mailmap`,
otherwise we may need extra pkg for latex to parse Chinese characters.

Smatch[1][2] is a pluggable static analysis for C. It may help us find
out the potential problem of the example code.
Doing with smatch, if set the --file-output flag, it will generate the
{}.c.smatch report for each c file. This will make a little bit
complicated to collect all the report messages. So, here we stay at the
default setting, stdout for the smatch messages.
For more information, see:
- https://lwn.net/Articles/696624/
- https://elinux.org/images/d/d3/Bargmann.pdf
Also, fix the warning from Smatch:
Smatch failed: 1 warning(s), 1 error(s)
lkmpg/examples/procfs2.c:57 procfile_write() error: buffer overflow 'procfs_buffer' 1024 <= 1024
lkmpg/examples/kbleds.c:58 kbleds_init() warn: argument 5 to %lx specifier is cast from pointer
Furthermore, the effect of the write operation in procfs2.c is too
implied. So after writing, print the buffer every time.

The dmesg command allows you to review the messages that are stored in the
ring buffer. Some Linux distributions have strict requirements for
dmesg, and you need to use sudo to use dmesg.
The action we used to delete the old release somehow cannot find the
release tag in forked repo and cause the workflow failed.
To solve this issue, simply setting `fail-if-no-release` option to false
will do the trick.
