377e63449b Remove kbleds from non-working list 
Since #98 has fixed the error with kbleds caused by changed timer API,
now it can work again with docker container.

Adapt the timer API Usage (#98) 
Since v4.14 [1], the timer API has been changed to improve memory safety.
The series of improvements ended up at v4.15 [2].

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.

Avoid unexpected concurrent access (#94) 
In file {chardev,chardev2,sleep}.c, the variable to determine
the exclusive access was of integer type, which led to race
condition.

This patch rewrote the above with atomic CAS respectively
to eliminate the race.

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.

Adapt recent kernel changes

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]

d85944d107 Mention pr_info() rather than KERN_INFO 
The latter might have been used along with printk() in an earlier
version, but pr_info() is getting used consistently so adjust the
#include comments accordingly.

For the avoidance of doubt, pr_info() actually comes from printk.h,
which gets #include'd by kernel.h.
