Linus Torvalds fabd5a8d24 — Add return value descriptions to several internal functions, addressing
kernel-doc complaints
 
 — Add the x86 maintainer mailing list to the resctrl section so they are
   automatically included in patch submissions, and reference the applicable
   contribution rules document
 
 — Allow users to apply a single Capacity Bitmask to all cache domains at once
   using '*' as a shorthand, instead of having to specify each domain
   individually. This is particularly user-friendly on high core-count systems
   with many cache clusters
 
 - When a user provides a non-existent domain ID while configuring cache
   allocation, ensure the failure reason is properly reported to the user
   rather than silently returning an error with a misleading "ok" status
