Fix potential concurrent access problems with VFS (#108) 
Since Linux v3.14, the read, write and seek operations of "struct file" are
guaranteed for thread safety [1][2]. This patch added an explanation.

Here are the potential problems:
chardev.c:
- Move the "msg_ptr" pointer into the read function to remove unnecessary usage.
- List the clear states of "already_open" by using mnemonic enumeration.

chardev2.c:
- The "buffer" in the write function is user space data. It cannot use in the
  kernel space.
- Reduce the redundant type transformation.
- List the states of "already_open". Same as chardev.c.

Fixed parameter name for hello-5. 
Parameters are case-sensitive, so myintArray is different from myintarray, and people who are running the example with copy/paste will find it doesn't work as described in the text.

Workaround inconsistent text scaling (#100) 
p + pre remains at em as we want to use the parent element here (however rem
could be used too, just requires a bigger value). I am setting it to 110% size,
otherwise some code blocks have relatively small text. The smaller code blocks
do appear bigger.

Improve readability (#96) 
This new foreground + background color maintains the minimum of 7:1 contrast ratio as specified by WCAG (this has 7.36:1) and is the same colors Firefox reading mode uses when choosing the sepia theme. 

Fonts are too small by default, using responsive units (em) let's me increase them, I am unsure where or if there is font-size specified for parent anywhere but it seems to have been manually decreased.

Increased max-width slightly to adjust for new size and more standard line-height, so the doc doesn't feel significantly longer, still maintains good eye travel.

Fix disallowed cr0 write protection and close_fd (#80) 
Since the commit 8dbec27a242cd3e2816eeb98d3237b9f57cf6232 [1]
(kernel version v5.3+ [2]) the sensitive CR0 bits in x86 is pinned,
we need to use the inline asm [3][4] to bypass it.

commit 8dbec27a242cd3e2816eeb98d3237b9f57cf6232 :
> With sensitive CR4 bits pinned now, it's possible that the WP bit for
> CR0 might become a target as well.
>
> Following the same reasoning for the CR4 pinning, pin CR0's WP
> bit. Contrary to the cpu feature dependend CR4 pinning this can be done
> with a constant value.

Also, getting "sys_call_table" [8] from the symbol lookup by using the address
of "close_fd" does not work for v5.11+ [5][6]. The reason is the entry of
"sys_call_table[__NR_close]" is not the address of "close_fd", actually
it is "__x64_sys_close" in x86.

Two solutions were proposed: using "kallsyms_lookup_name" [7] or just specifying
the address into the module. The symbol "kallsyms_lookup_name"  is unexported
since v5.7; the address of "sys_call_table" can be found in
"/boot/System.map" or "/proc/kallsyms".

Since v5.7, the manual symbol lookup is not guaranteed to work
because of control-flow integrity (or control-flow enforcement [9][10]) is added
[11] for x86, but it is disabled since v5.11 [12][13]. To make sure manual symbol
lookup work, it only uses up to v5.4.

Fix incorrect major number registration in chardev (#77) 
chardev2.c demonstrates the ioctl operation with static major
number MAJOR_NUM, but there also exists "Major," the dynamic
one, which results in registration and deregistration on different
device. Once the module remove, it cannot insert again:

  $ sudo insmod chardev2.ko
  $ sudo rmmod chardev2
  $ cat /proc/devices
  Character devices:
  ...
  100 char_dev
  $ sudo insmod chardev2.ko
  insmod: ERROR: could not insert module chardev2.ko: Device or resource busy

This patch removed the use of dynamic major number.

870b26fa2d Update several example code for newer kernel 
Known issues with current example code:
If you using newer kernel(e.g linux 5.11.x) to compile the example code,
you may meet following error:
1. syscall.c:83:50: error: ‘ksys_close’ undeclared;
2. cryptosk.c:17:24: error: field ‘sg’ has incomplete type
3. cryptosk.c:143:9: error: implicit declaration of function
‘get_random_bytes’
4. error: macro "DECLARE_TASKLET" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2

Solutions/workaround:
1. In syscall.c, replace #include <linux/syscalls.h> with
#include <linux/fdtable.h> and replace  ksys_close with close_fd
if the kernel version >= 5.11. [1][2]
2. Add #include <linux/scatterlist.h> into cryptosk.c
3. Add #include <linux/random.h> into cryptosk.c
4. In bottomhalf.c and example_tasklet.c, replace DECLARE_TASKLET
with DECLARE_TASKLET_OLD and dispose third argument(0L). [3]
