Merge branch 'mlx5-rd-sgl' into rdma.git for-next

From Yamin Friedman:

====================
This series from Yamin implements long standing "TODO" existed in rw.c. It
allows the driver to specify a cut-over point where it is faster to build
a lkey MR rather than do a large SGL for RDMA READ operations.

mlx5 HW gets a notable performane boost by switching to MRs.
====================

Based on the mlx5-next branch from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux for
dependencies

* branch 'mlx5-rd-sgl': (3 commits)
RDMA/mlx5: Add capability for max sge to get optimized performance
RDMA/rw: Support threshold for registration vs scattering to local pages

kheaders: make headers archive reproducible

In commit 43d8ce9d65a5 ("Provide in-kernel headers to make
extending kernel easier") a new mechanism was introduced, for kernels
>=5.2, which embeds the kernel headers in the kernel image or a module
and exposes them in procfs for use by userland tools.

The archive containing the header files has nondeterminism caused by
header files metadata. This patch normalizes the metadata and utilizes
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP if provided and otherwise falls back to the
default behaviour.

In commit f7b101d33046 ("kheaders: Move from proc to sysfs") it was
modified to use sysfs and the script for generation of the archive was
renamed to what is being patched.

Documentation: kbuild: Add document about reproducible builds

In the Distribution Kernels track at Linux Plumbers Conference there
was some discussion around the difficulty of making kernel builds
reproducible.

This is a solved problem, but the solutions don't appear to be
documented in one place. This document lists the issues I know about
and the settings needed to ensure reproducibility.
